A SONG FOR PIERCE AND KING.

"A 0ON0 EOk 1xGnCA ANO AxNO.' b
From New Hampshire's hills of granite, p.
Where waves the wintry pine,
To the land hard by the troPic,
The land of flower and vine
The Democratic banner,
Forth to the breeze we fling,
And sound aloud our slogan,
Hurrah for Pierce and King!
f. From the coast Of old Atlantic, boa
That flag is waving DER
The forest land and prairie, f. 'l
To far Pacifc's shore.
Through a broad realm which the eagle 1919
For days with strongest wing
Could not measure. now is echoed
The shout for Pierce and King.
Not a single note of discord
Is blended with the cry,
Which tells that our redemption
From Wing misrule is nigh
For all with heartfelt fervor,
TO the good old cause who cling,
AS the best of lis defenders,
Join in hailng Pierce and King!
We love the men who never
In Senate hall or field,
To faction or to foemen
Right or principle would yield;
Who hare friends to be re,varded- ..a.e
Those that to them firmly cling,
Who haze enemies to punish
The foes of Pierce and King!
We scorn that paltry pretcnce,
The Wings have used of old
Our principles written
Upon our banners fold
We promise sect nor section
This, that, nor anything
But surely of triumph
For our leaders Pierce and King.
The North and South together,
In spirit Join one,
Beats the same heart by the rising
And the setting of the sun.
In the waters of oblivion
All section strife we fling,
With our ancient creed we conquer
In the name of Pierre and King.

SECRET CIRCULARS TO NORTH CAROLINA. The
people should beware of deception. We have before
one OF the tricks OF the enemy. Hon. Mr.. Smith.
Of Connecticut, did much for the wing in lS4S
by of circulars sent through the mails
ty men, to be used by them privately. That method
of secret eectioneerlng has grown into favor among
whis canvassers, and Mr.. Smiths example is being
followed by wing committees throughout the coun-
try. We have before of these secret missIves
addressed to the wings of N orth Carolina by the
mttee of whig young men of the city and county of
New York, which begins with reckless statement,
and is filled with duplicty. The circular Announces
in order to misead the people of North Carolina that
the corresponding committee OF the Wing Young
Mems General Committee 'are at this time able to
say, with the utmost possible confidence, that the
three States which cast eighty i've electoral votes
New York, Pennsy lvana, and Ohio-will give their
suffragest Winfield Scott.' This statement is made
on the of the election in North Carolina, without
a shadow of foundation for it TO rest on. 1t is an
electioneering trick, and shallow at that; and
the IS utmost possible con6dence' which it IS
ventured, is but little in amount for it has nothing
justify it, and eckessIy expressed, only affect
the North Carolina election by PomPous announce
ment which signifies nothing.
The OBJECTIONS from the democratic ranks which
the corresponding committee mention exist only in
the fertile Imagination of those young gentlemen
No such defections have taken place. The statement
is of piece with the averment that the circular
anates from source devoted 10 the Union the COM
promises of the constitution and to the execution of
the fugtive-slave law. Neither the whig young
men the whig old men of New York have occu-
pied such position. The whig organization of that
State is in the hands of VIM. H. Seward. Its prin-
cpes are hostile to the Union; It repudiates the
promises of the constitution and has countenanced
resistance to the law of the land which it mentions
1t is hostile to the North Carolina wings as it is
Mr.. Fillmore whom it eulogizes, and whom it yet
hates with the utmost intensity. and whom it has
helped to strike down. Mr.. Fillmore has been broken
down by Mr.. Seward and his abolition followers !;
and they striving by secret circulars to dupe
the southern wings by fraudulent pretences, and by
1ool houo hard
to make publicly, SO that they could be exposed.
But the people of North Carolina know the history
of VIM. H. Seward, and they have seen him, with
the aid of Gen. SCOTS name and influence, break
ing the worst enemies of North Carolina gain the
control of the WING organization of the North, and
they will not now be duped by empty words or be
betrayed by kiss. Washington Union

Give to Scott all the States set down as Doubtful

and he would then have but 146-three less then

The probabilities are, rather. that Scott carry
