FAMILY PoIsoEED BY EATING ToADsTooLs.
The Niles (Mich.) Republican contains
an account of family in that neghborhood
who were poisoned by mistaking the pois-
onous fungi known as toadstoos for mush-
rooms. y The family consisted of FIVE per-
sons, Mr.. Henry Randall, his wife and three
children, Mr.. R, and his step-son were
more dangerously poisoned than the other
members of the family, and there is no doubt
that but for prompt medicalaid, the wofrst
mentioned would have died. Their purox-
-ysins and vomitings were..frequent and Sc
we're, attended with terrible thirst, and an
intense burning in the stomach. They vom-
tied blood in considerable quantities. They

BEWARE OF BRrTIsH GoLD!-In some
prominent Western localities, leading Loco
focos are proposing TO wager large sums on
the election of Pierce g. King. Now we all
know that. in our western country, Ameri-
can capital is too scarce and in too much re-
quest FOR the purpose Of trade, to be risked
in ,thatway.
The Golfers OF the British capitalists are,
however, running over, with the spoils of
American industry and British manufnc-
turers and merchants have deeper stake in
the election of Franklin Pierce and the pre-
valence of Free Trade" on our continent,
than even the office hunters in expectancy.
We repeat, to our Wing friends-beware of
British gold sent bither to introduce the
same corruptions into our electoral system
which have made the hustngs of the Eng
lish kingdom a by-word of disgrace.-Sci.

GENERAL PIERCE AGAINST THE OLD Is
DIAN FIGHTERs OF THE WEsT-There are
no class o: people more deserving of public
aid, public sympathy, public respect, than
those old Indian Fighters of the West, who
have in the early stages of our history,
fought our battles, protected our frontiers,
and protected the mothers and daughters of
the wilderness and frontier from the savage
scalping-knife. No services have been
more arduous, at tended with n,it =
fering and danger than those rendered by
scouts, spies and Indian fighters. All pub
lie men Of any feeling have always manifes-
ted regard and been desirous TO extend to
them some evidence of nations gratitude
| in her days prosperity. There have been
however, some exceptions, and of the num-
ber Of these we find the name of the Demo-
cratic nominee, Franklin Pierce. We
quote below from the public documents, as
we see them quoted in the Nashville Banner,
and We refer the Indian Fighters of the
West, the children, the descendants of these
warriors, all who can appreciate the dangers
ofthe early settlers. the advantages of pro-
tecting hand ir their hour of need, to the
public acts of Frqaktin Pierce, and ask
whether such a man deserves their suffrages
or of any Of the children oftie West.
On the l044th page OF the House Journal,
LIST session 24th Congress, June 18th, 1896,
we find the following record:
"An engrossed bill, ,(No. 2l2,) entitled 'An
act extending the provisions of the act enti-
| led ali act suppIeme ntary to the act for the
relif Of certain Gfcers and soldiers Of the RsUOl
wion' was read third time, and being on
its passage,
"a motion was made by Mr. Williams, of
North Carolina, that the said bill be re COM
mitted 10 the committee Of the ichOLe House, i1ih
instructions t0strtke out the provisions irhich
grant a pension to those persons tohO pere eagd-
ged in tie Indian hOStilitieS of the Wrst,
subsequently to the Revolutionary war,
terminating in 1888
"Upon this amendment the previous
question was called, the effect of which, il
sustained. was TO cut off the anlendment.--
FRANKLIN PIERCE voted in minority,
So to 80, against sustaining the previous
question, and therefore, in effect, in favor
of the nmendment,to strike out the provisions
granting pensions to The old Indian fighters Of

FRANKLIN PIERCE then voted

also lived in Virginia. and there lived her
relatives and there also was her prop

Inducements to remain in Virginia, we vet
see him removing from his native State and
taking up his abode among the, bitterest of
her enemies. Can that man be said to,loye
the Southsor her institutions, who, with every
inducement ofnterest and feelingto remain
IN MS own section, voluntarily sewers all

~ For Gen. Scott to remove his residence
into another State, .wasba enough. But
to do this, when his relatives lived in his
native State, was shocking. To do this,
when his wife had lived in Virginia.. was
seandalous. To do this, when his wife's rel
atives lived there, was outrageous. To do
this, when his wife's property, negroes and.
all, whom Gen. Scott would not own was sit
dated there, was traitorous. But more than
all, to do this against all these inducements,
we have no word Of Indignation sufficiently

WHIcB Is THE STRONGER PARrYi-The
Washington Telegraph, referring 10 state
mcnts which have frequently appeared. even
in Wing papers, that the Wing party is a
minority party, copies from an exchange the
following analysis of the popular votes at
the different elections, which shows the err
ror of such statements:
In 1886, Mr.. Van Buren, had 763 .5s7
votes, and Harrison and others 737,7il
votes. Van BUren's majority 25,S76. The
election was close, and a few thousand in
North Carolina would have turned the
scale.
In 1910, Harrison had ! PA, ,203, and Van
Buren, l,l2S,303 votes. Majority for Harri-
son, l45,S00. There were but few hun
ared scattering votes in any State, and all
but six gave their electoral vote COR the
successful candidate.
In 1874, Polk had 1928 ,Ol3; Clay 1891
6f3; Birney 63,3O4. Polk had 1880 plu-
rality over Clay, but was in the minority by
2S,s24 VOTES. A change OF $500 votes in
New York woHld have elected Mr.. Clay.
In lS4S, Gen. Taylor had 1872 ,242; Cass
1928, ,794, and Van Buren, 295,37s votes
Taylor's plurality over Cass I33,447; his
minority in the aggregate vote was 1884,
