"Will the Grand River Times the Pierce pa
per at Grand Haven, give its readers instruc-
ton as to the position which its candidate has
ever sustained with reference TO Harbor I'm
provements? We think not" [G. r. Eagle.
az Yes, Mr.. TURNER, we will and we say
that every vote that has ever been cast by Gen.
PIERCE, in favor of or against harbor and river
improvements, has been dictated by prudence,
and good sound discretion; he at the time
of recording his vote, having in view the welfare
of our 'ohole country. Each bill having been
matured by and through the action of commit
tees, and when upon its final passage and be-
yond every honestly disposed member of Con-
gress, to strike therefrom Objectionable appro-
priations and clauses, he would find himself
compelled to vote against it, for the reason that
there was kites attached to each bill, emo ugh to
swampit We venture the assertion that Gen.
PIERCE would have voted for, and would not
veto any bill with well-timed and judicious APP
preparations. These river appropriation clauses
has been the means Of killing more bills than
one. We believe that Gen. PIERCE occupies
the platform left by Gen. Jackson and Silas
Wright, upon the subject of Harbor Improve
ments.
Are you satisfied with our opinion and the
little knowledge we have impaired exclusively
for your benefit! If not, more will follow, for
while you are diving after small game as we are,
you cannot soar after anything larger.
There, pounce again and we will have one or
both Of your wings before election is over
REPLY TO THE TELEGRAPH.-lt devolves up
on the present Wing Administration and those
who support them in place to make good the
promises made in ls4S these promises secu-
red the vote of several States for Taylor and
Fillmore; the promises then made by the Wing
party, to give the country all the help they
might feel disposed to call for, in the way of
harbor and river appropriations, remain entirely
unredeemed and unfulflled, or in other words
broken. Now sir, if Gen. PIERCE is elected
and we know he will be, there will be no real
necessity of harbor and river appropriations
for the reason that his will be a calm, mild,
well determined, judicous administration and
since the nomination Of PIERCE and KING, the
waters have risen to n sufficient height to make
good harbors and entrances at the mouths of all
our small streams our rivers are all sweed
sufficiently to carry every thing that floats safe
ly over the snags and sand bars; therefore, we
incline to the belief, that the nomination OF
PIERCE and KING is approved by higher pow
er than Wing administration or party.
Now, if such a calamity as the election of
Gen. SCOTT, should be entaed upon this nation,
then, indeed, would we stand in need of har-
Dor and river improvements. His would be n
windy, turbulent administration; so much so
that our great lakes would be in perpetual COM
motion, and the rivers would be ordered to run
up stream. Still, with all this against the ma
ton and its prospects, there never can be any
great loss without some small gain: the whole
boundless continent could be supplied with gas
from the great gas retort at Washington, in
case +" Fuss and Feathers" is successful
Now, Mr.. Telegraph, of K-a-La-m-a-z-o-o, if
you have determined upon the election of Scott
punch up the present Wing powers to pave the
way with their harbor and river improvements,
for the squalls that will be raised by your in
coming administration.
Oh! the supercousness of your present
and the vanity of your next administration.
- The Grand River Eagle has re-appeared
in new dress, and under the management of
its former editor and proprietor AARON, is
known to be n hard laborer in the Wing cause
and he commences this campaign, in spirit
evincing the great work before him and his fell
low Wings, all Of which we rejoice to see, tho
their greatest efforts are as futile as their calls
will be next November for the rocks and noun
tains to hide them from the Democratic PIERCE
