Sontb Bepd, Indiana, recently received the
eoIlowine letter from Mr.. George With
erelI. an active Democrat who resides in
Cleveland, in answer to an inquiry ii It was
true that he had resolved to support Scott.
We find the letter in the St. Josephs Val
lev Register, which is published al South
Bend:
Cleveland, o., Auq. 8, '52. Dear Sir:-The
statement to which you refer is correct.
nm Scott man, and have always hereto
fore been an uncompromising Democrat
Such am now, but when the Democratic
party, forgetting those principles which
should guide it, arrays itself against the best
interests of our country, do not feel my
self bound by its action.
| support Scott because he is the repre-
sentative Of the great principles, which are
Democratic, namely: Government appronri-
alton for Internal improvements; Tariff
for revenue, affording protection to Ameri-
can industry; and obedience to all the com
pacts of the Constitution, but opositlon to
the extension of slavery into free terrific
ries.
Upon ALL these questions find General
Pierce wrong upon the record; and by MS
votes always opposing protection to the
Mariner, the Mechanic and the Farmcr; and
the rights of petition and of Freedom.
For these reasons | support Winfield
Scott, and with score Of neighbors and
friends, heretofore active, working Demo-
Gratis, shall do all in my power for the cleo
ton of that well-tried patriot to the Presi-
dency in November.
You are at liberty to use this letter as you
think best, and believe me, in the support
of Cid Chippewa; Truly Yours.
GEO. WITHERELL.
RIVER AND HARBoR BILL.-In the Sen
ate, the two members from New Hampshire
and nineteen OF their Locofoco associates
voted against the River and Harbor bill.-
General Pierce approves these votes OF the
New Hampshire Senators. In the course o
speech which he made on the 23d of las
January, he said: ,
appropriations by the Federal Govern
ment for the Improvement Of Rivers AM
Harb0rs were of purely Federal character
and repugndnt 10 The principles and practice Q
The Democracy of his State; and that Messrs
Hale and Tuck were justly 0bnorious 10 tn
charge of Federal sympdthies for hGrtng sup
ported such measures. He pontedly affirmed
that no person elected 10 Congress as Demo
crat from his State had eUer supported meas
ures of this character" He put the question
to the audience If this were not so, and puus
ed for reply. which was given in the affirm
ative by some persons near the speakers
desk.
Further appropriations will stand but d
poor chance if he has the veto power. AN

The ATTORNEY GENERAL.-Whigs will
remember, Democrats especially will re-
member, Locofocos will try to forget, what q
tremendous fuss was kicked up when the
/ Wings, having in view the good of the State
established the office of Attorney General
1 1t was said to be most outrageous proceed
ing, an cxtravagant measure, and the peo
pie were called upon to abolish it, We'll
the Locorocos got in power, and did they
carry out their promises? Not they. The!
not only sustained the Office, but in
creased the salary, and at this time the in
cnmbent is paying for the increase in th
way of stumping the State, playing the Brit
ish orator and receiving the applause of Lo
cofocoism.
"INpEED. THE "Progressive Era"
rubd Locoioco paper published at Ccdu
Rapids, Iowa, says TINT "the people ow
nothing to General Scott" II the peopl
don't owe anything to Scott,-in the name {
Heaven, what do they owe to Gen. Pierce
But 1t will take stronger progressive tina
