The Maine Law In New York.

This subject appears to be growing in import
ance. The liquor dealers in New York have des-
patched remonstrance to Albany, setting forth
the reasons why the Maine Liquor Law should
not be attempted to be forced upon New York.
The law is denounced as audacious, unscrupu-
lous, and fanatical, and calculated to retard,
rather than advance, even the temperance prin-
ciple, which it processes to encourage; and the
remonstrants assure the legislature that they are
solemnly convinced "that such a despotic and
unreasonable law could not be enforced in the
city of New York, except amid scenes of riot and
bloodshed, in which, though its reckless advo-
Gates would be the first and chief sufferers, vast
multitudes of the populace would be involved
and which would be too frightful in their re-
suits for any but callous fanatics to contemplate
without horror and dismay." The English of
this is, that if the laws will not suffer the liquor
dealers to destroy the people with rum, they will
resort to more summary mode by bloodshed!

The Wing journals evidently dishear-
tened by the political failure of their mill
tary parade at Lundy's Lane, are now
anxious to change the issue by represen-
ting the democratic press to have indul-
Scott's military career which the whig
journals have resorted to against Gene
raj Pierce. We deny the charge. The
Democratic press everywhere are Ameri-
can enough to admit General Scott to be
brave and skilful soldier. They only
assert that this is no proof of his qualifi-
cation for high CIVIL Office, and that his
CIVIL record is as bad as it can be; and
the whig presses which now support him
have taken the lead in affirming this
truth, and in confessing that there is
weakness in all he says and does as a
civilian looking to the Presidency.
We have said that to make him out in
any special senses the hero of Lundy s
Lane, and to celebrate that battle to mag
Nifty IS to rob tie deadl And so it is, It's
to rob General Brown, who as comman-
ding general on the field throughout the
brunt of the battle, WON it as much as
General Scott won Cerro Gordo. 1t is to
rob Colonel Miller, who did the most
famed deed of that day. This is the
truth of history, yet the Albany Evening
Journal, the leading organ at once of
Stewards higher law and ofScott for the
Presidency, has the following shameless
perversion of our position on the subject:
1.-The locofoco press are beginning to
break cover against General SCOTS bra
very. The small fry of the party, like
the Atlas and New York Herald, have
been for some time looking to that point
of attack; but it was left for the Wash
ington Union to give the libel, form and
substance 1t says General Scott was
sin no sense the hero of of the battle OF
Lundy's Lane 1t was favorite charge
against General Harrison that he was
never in a BATTLE In asserting that
General Scott was in no sense the hero
of one of the most brilliant battles ever
fought on this continent, the Union only
reveals its malice without advocating its
cause"
This only shows that the Wing press
is ashamed of its detected attempt to
rob the dead and is seeking to change
the issue it has made. We defy them to
maintain that General Scott was in any
sense tie hero of Lundy's Lane. Their
celebration, as they designed it to glorify
Scott, was Justification of history, and
deserved to turn out the ludicrous failure
which it was Wash. Union.

DEsrERATE From Win IND1ANs.-

DESPERATE FIGHT WITH lNDIANS.-A
letter in the st. Louis Republican from
Santa Fe gives a long and interesting ac-
count of desperate fight in the interior
of New Mexico, between four With ira
ders and sixty Apache Indians. AT the
first charge the Indians succeeded in get
ting all their horses but one, and despe-
rately wounding Grand Jean, one of the
whites. who was rescued from the Indi-
ans as they were about to scalp him. In
making the rescue, two others of the four
men were wounded with slugs. Night
coming on, the Indians retired, built
large fires all around this little, heroic
band of men, three of whom were suffer-
ing from wounds. At dawn the next
morning, the Indians resumed hostilities,
but the men being protected by mound,
met their charges CALAMITY, and used
their revolvers with terrible effect Mr..
Daley the only one of the party not woun-
ded, had his clothes riddled with slugs.
Another, named Heny, received a slug
in his left leg, in front, direct on his port
monnaie, which was at the time filed
with doubloons and silver TO the amount
of $500. This saved his leg from being
broken, but the conclusion was so great
as to cripple him completely. Finally, by
stratagem, he jumped ON their only horse,
broke through the Indians, while his
companions kept up the deadly fire on
them, and proceeded to place called
Carrisal, for assistance. The second
night set in, and hostilities were again
suspended. The three men remaining
became so worn down from fatigue and
want of provisions and water, that they
were compelled to use gun powder, and
subsequently, urine, which but aggravated
their sufferings.
AT II P. M, there seeming no prospect
of the Indians leaving, Henry made up
his mind to reach Carrisal or perish. And
with this determination he set out, limp
ing dragging his wounded leg after him ;
the other two, it seems, left soon after,
and made their escape. Grand Jean, af-
ter travelling some distance, felt his wound
commence bleeding afresh and he says
he was completely lost, and knowing well
his situation, he consigned his soul to his
Maker, and fell asleep, as he thought, but
he had tainted. The other three succee-
ded in reaching Carrisal, and soon found
that Grand Jean was missing. AT this
Daley offered $500 to a party of Mexi.
cans to go and bring him in dead or alive
Seventeen Mexicans started in search ol
him-found him lying on the road, and
brought him to Carrisal, where his com
panions left him to recover from hi,
wounds, they going to Ell Paso. Ate,
they had left he offered to pay them $500
but they refused to take it, and commit
ted him to prison, until finally they ex
acted FIVE hundred dollars, robbed all th,
movable property he had, and thel
drove him out of the town. After being
FIVE days without water or provisions, h
joined his companions in critical condi
ton.

Hon. @ j. Faulkner, of this State. re-
Gently made speech in the House Of
Representatives, in which he declared
his dissatisfaction with the nominee Of the
Wing party, and his determination 10
support Frank Pierce. The speech is too
long to copy entire, but we give the oon-
clusion of it.
"It is, then, manifest, that with my
views of General SCOTS position in the
present canvass he cannot receive my
support. Shall be neutral in this con-
test No, sir; that is alike inconsistent
with my sense of duty.
Franklin Pierce stands before this ma
ton. in this contest, the representative Of
that conservative compromise policy,
which was sent here to support, and
upon whose intlexible maintenance de-
PEND the peace and tranquility of this I'M
ION. No man who looks TO his past
course. or to the influences to which he
must be indebted for his election, can feel
the slightest emotion of apprehension for
its disturbance while he occupies the Ex-
ecutiye chair. Ishaye already shown you
that. with the first burst of sectional agi-
tation and tumult at the North, in the fall
of $50, he repaired to the post of duty,
and before large assembiagc of his coun-
trynen threw the full weight of his high
character, of his unbounded personal pop
ularity, of his great and acknowledged
abilities, into the scale of the Union.---
His presence there upon such an occasion
and under such circumstances, was an
evidence ofhis patriotism. His remarks
manifest a just appreciation OF the impor'
tanoe of the crisis, and of the necessity
and Justice of re-organizing the constitu-
tionsl rights of the South. Since that
day. every act of which we have any re-
cord. every remark which in any anthem
tic form has reached the public eye, every
letter which bears his signature, breathes
the same anxious and profound interest
in the maintenance OF that conservative
policy. And7in his letter Of acceptance,
which contains the last declaration OF his
views, he speaks with tho frankness OF a
soldier, and with the fullness OF a patriot
who estimates the vast influence which
this question must exercise over the des'
tinics of the Republic:
s"I accept tho nomination upon the
platform adopted by the Convention, not
because this is expected OF me as can
didate, but because tie principles dsn'brd'
ces command the epprObation Of my Judge
naent, and with them believe can sale
" say, there has been no to0rd or act Of my
life In conJliCt.''
My first acquaintance with General
Pierce dates back to August, 1888
Since that time have been close OBJ
server of his public career. Time does
not enable mo, now, to 60 into an exsmi-
nation of his course. But / do not feai
contradiction when assert, that tho re-
cord Of no northern salesman exhibits d
more uniform and consistent respect foi
the constitutional rights of tho South than
his-nor can one be shown manilesting
moro true loyalty to all the objects and
purposes for which this great Union was
formed. 1t viii give mo pleasure, sir, TO
vote for him." 1f
