The Demoerntic Candidate Endorsed by the
Their Confidence In HIim-.Thcir Hatred
To the Editor Of the Republic
SIR:-A friend in London has sent me copy of
the London Leader, dated 26th June, and from an
editorial article which it contains make the fol-
lowing significant extracts:
60 Franklin Pierce is a inedl descendant of
oten family Of Pcrey's; The Perey's Of Northum-
bsrland rhose place the State is no,o occupied by
the House of Smithson."
"From the incidents and traits which we have so
rapidly sketched, the characterof the Democratic
candidate readily be collected. We should
have been well pleased to see Judge Douglas cho-
sen, although he is said to hare bias against
country for he is too hearty and intelligent man
to take any course detrimental to his own. Weave
without information as to the views of Gen. Pierce
on the subject of cooperation with England but
we cannot say that we feel any apprehenSions on
the point and shall await the final election not
without sharing the confidence of many American
friends that the result will be we'll"
To the casual observer these " firstrate notices.
from the London Times, the monster organ Of the
English moneyed aristocracy, and the less pretend
ing Leader, may not appear of much account but
when considered in connection with the interfe-
renee of Sir Henry Bulwer with the American Con-
greSs and the declaration that any increase in the
protection afforded TO American labor " would pro-
duce very diSagreeable state of feeling in Eng
land" can readily see why Mr.. Pierce, being
descendant Oh tnGlt own mouse OF SHOulu
be endorsed in the old country with such perfect
gush of enthusiasm" What can be more sgnif-
cant than the declaration that they fear MIR. Doug
las is biased against English interests but that they
have "no apprehension" as regards MIR, Pierce E
W no told the English aristocracy that Judge Doug
las was ntenSly American in his feelings. and that
Mr.. Pierce would occasion them ono apprehcn-
sonS' on that point? Did they learn II from his
votes and speeches against the improvement of
American rivers and harbors or did X. ]. Walker
4 ~ Dali 30 of 10 w n has
been many months in England, assure them that
Mr.. Pierce would be careful of English interests
And are we to understand that the money of Eng
lish lords and manufacturing milnonarieS is TO be
sent over here to help the Democracy in fostering
English interests by depressing American ones, and
helping party into power which will "Co-oPE-
RATE with England in 4 KosSuth war? 1t looks
very much like ii. The late emphatic endorse
ment of the Democratic party by Kossuth, and his
arrogant attempt at dragooning the German popu-
lation into voting as body, for Pierce, taken in
connexion with that part of the Democratic plat
form which endorses intervention, may well shake
the faith and invite the scrutiny of Americans.
Will the South rush madly into this scheme of
foreign war, when the very men who are to be liber
ated avow in advance their determination to assist
the slave population of this country in an armed
and bloody Instruction against their peaceful and
lawful master! Will the Irish population Of this
countIy-the brave countrymen of Montgomery and
Sullivan-countenance party so destitute of pTin-
ciple.and reckless OF consequences as to employ
such means TO obtain the paltry spoilS of office!
In the name of Heaven, have they not suffered
wrong and oppression, enough at the hands OF the
English nobility, the landowners and absentees,
the PcrcyS, SmithSons, RusSels and Pamcrstons!
That the English press abuse Gen. Scott is not in
the least surprising. On the 5th of July, 1918,
with only 1000 raw Americans, and himself little
past beyhood, he met, on an open plain at Chip
pewa, 2,l00 British regulars, most of whom were
the flower of the British army, and defeated and
utterly routed, and in part captured them at the
point of the bayonet. This humbed their pride
and they have mol forgotten 1t. After routing the
British army repeatedly on their own soil, he was
finally taken prisoner by an immensely Supetior
force and conveyed at Quebec, on the transport,
with his men. While on their way, the Irish SOL
diers who had fought with him were singled out by
the British officers, and were TO be sent TO England
TO be hung. Scott, though unarmed, Immediately
appeared on deck aud stopped the proceedings, IN
spite of the British officers and their threats He
warned them that for every Irish soldier executed
the blood of English prisoners should flow and
would give them quarter in battle.
Is it strange that the English aristocracy should
like Franklin Pierce, ga descendent of their own
Percys," and be anxious for his election2
Is it singular that they should hate the defender
of the Irish and the hero who has so often vain
pushed them OH their own ground and with their
own chosen weapons?
Thank God, Winfield Scott is an American
every inch of his scar-covered body, every throb
and emotion of his heart and soul. His grandfather
was killed IN battle against the Engllsh, and his
father forced to flee from that kingdom with his
life. . 81. -..- -....l.HI
The ancestors of Franklin Pierce were English
mobiles, and they have emo apprehensicns'' that he
will not serve their causel
There is choice between them.
