The undersigned were present at politi-
cal meeting in Bradford, January %, 1852.
which was addressed by Hon. George w.
Morrison and General Franklin Pierce.
and will state that our rccolecions OF the
remarks Of the speakers respecting the i'm
provement of rivers and harbors bv the
Federal Government, agree with the fore
going statement as above set forth by Mr..
Harvey. We distinctly recollect that Gen
eral Pierce took ground in decided opposi-
ton to the prosecution of such objects on
the part of the General Government He
treated it as being Federal policy, which the
Democracy of the State lad constantly op-
posed, said that no person elected to Con-
gress from this state as Democrat had ever
supported such measures, and that Messrs.
Hale and Tuck were justly obnoxious tc
the charge Of Federal sympathies for SO do
ing.
He apparently attached great Importance
TO this subject Of river and harbor improve
ments, and his remarks throughout were
characterized by uncompromising opposi.
tion to the same.
To the truth OF the above statement we
hold ourselves in readiness TO make oath
whenever called upon 10 do so.

Perhaps some of our democratic friends may be
glad to see what the veteran Father Rtchie thn IS

following extract from one of his editorials, COM
menting on the bad taste of the Wings in select
Gen. TAYLOR as their candidate in 1S4S, speaks
upon both points. 1t is
From the Washington Union of 1918.
s:Gen. Scott is an older soldier than General
Tavlor-one who is at least equal Of not more ac-
coni,listed, and who has distinguished himself by
more and as brilliant battles during the war-who
captured Vera Cruz and the Castle, and the Cap
ital of Mexico-and one, too, WHO HAS MORE THE
