PROSPECTUS
OF THE
RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE.

In the third week of June, 1852, viii be COM
menced, in the city of Washington, Weekly
Campaign Newspaper, under the above title.
1t will be devoted to the maintenance OF gen.
uine republican principles as ayowed and prac-
tised by the great WING PARTY of the United
States to the preservation of the NATIONAL
UNION, and of the RIGHrs OF THE STATES and
the RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE under that Union;
and in an especial manner to the election Of
GENERAL WINFIELD SCOTT, as the nominee
of the Wing National Convention, to the Presi-
dency of this Republic.
1t will be the agreeable duty of the editor to
dwell and to descant upon the merits of man
around whose brow are entwined the laurels
gathered on many q victorious field. During the
long period of forty years his talents, his valor,
and his humanity have nobly illustrated his
country's honor; and the patriotic masses, the
toing millions of our widely-extended country,
will, on the seventh of November next, arise in
their power and majesty to bestow their SURFACES
upon their honored fellow citizen-the hero, the
patriot, and sage-and to proclaim THE GRATITUDE
OF A REPUBLIC!
TERMS:
THE RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE will be published
once week-from the third week of June until
the third week of November-at fifty cents.

agents, who may send fve or more names, are

ReducttOn of Fare.

The Baltimore American says that the Philn.
delphin and Baltimore Railroad Company will
issue round tickets good from the l4th to the 18th
instant inclusive to those wishing to visit Balti-
more during the holding Of the Wing National
Convention, and presumes that like reduction
of fire will be made by the other lines leading to
that city
We should like to know on what it bases its
presumption. The sale of round tickets on the
Washington branch ceased with the first day of
the late Convention, land not the fourth, as we
were made 10 say Few, comparatively, were
benefited by the issue, while many were disap-

GEN. Scott en- the Compromi.e.

"The Compromise which Gen. Scott writes
about to Mr.. Clay is Mr.. Clay's own Compromise,
which did not contain the fugitive slave law -
Richmond Examiner
The above statement is, strangely enough, be-
Tered by some intelligent persons. We therefore
quote from the original report Of Mr.. Clay, as fol-
Lo,Us:
I" The views and recommendations contained
in this report may be recapitulated in few
words"
Here follow seven numbered paragraphs, the
sirth of which is in these words:
'6. More effectual enactments of law to Sc
cure the prompt delivery of persons bound to
service or labor in one State, under the laws
thereof, who escape into another State"

Cen Pierce and His Platform.

The New York Post, severely Democratic
paper, makes but little of the platform of its
party, thinks the Compromise miserable affair,
and defends Gen. Pierce from all participation in
it. 1t says:
"Mr Pierce did not, like Gen. Scott, if we
may believe :he boasts which Scott is so fond of
publicly making, procure the passage of the Com
promise by Congress"
OF course he did not, or his party would not
promote him. The policy of that party now is,
to let its able men work in the service Of the
country, and bestow its honors upon those against
whom there is no serious objection!

The StaIe OF GeOr&ia.

In 1910, when Gen. Harrison was presented to
the Wings of the United States, the State OF
Georgia came up nobly and grandly to his sup
port. Never did a political party perform its
duty better, or in better spirit.
In 1852, an advocate of the best interests of
that State is presented to its citizens-a soldier,
a statesman, and patriot, from whom its sup
port cannot be withheld.
Georgia now hestitates and asks to know Gen.
Scotts views; but in 40 its first reply was, that
Harrison never could obtain its support There
is good deal of false figuring now in progress

rect result

BsE~ The birds Of passage who do not like
Southern summers are coming North in multi
tudes. We think that they who remain at home
in Washington enjoy the summer better than do
such as leave it. Half the cost of travelling
with but little sacrifice of time, will make sum-
mer not only bearable, but happy and pleasant
here. Promenades in the city, drives to the
country, steamboating upon the river, with tar
ryings on its margins-all are delightful: and
then our citizens like to enjoy your company at

Collegiate Institution Of the City of Washington
which was referred to the Committee on the

The House proceeded to the consideration of
the Florida and Alabama railroad bill, and post
poned it until the second Friday in July.

THE WAY TO MAKE A CANDIDATE.-The most
laughable as well as energetic efforts are now
going on to make distinguished military hero
of Franklin Pierce The Ohio Statesman, in its
zeal, makes him an officer in the war of 1912,
when, by the showing of the same paper, he was
only ten years of age! The Plain Dealer says
that Pierce is just ortysir years of age. 1t thus
appears that he was ian officer in the 'car Of 1912"
when he was only SIX gears old 1t is fast be-
coming more and more evident that Pierce is
really the most remarkable man Of the age The
Infant Drummer is nothing, when compared with
him
Quere: Wouldn't it be well enough for some
folks to inquire :" Who is Frank Pierce2 before
they venture TO write editorials about him.

Rule or Ruin!

The Louisville Courier says it is true, as re
marked by a contemporary, that the States which
are now kindly proposing to take charge of the
Wing party, and assuming dictatorial position
with reference to the National Convention, are
Virginia, Missouri, Arkansas Georgia, South
Carolina Alabama, Florida, and Texas; and thar
hardly one OF these States is certain for the Wing
nominee, the only hope of retaining them being
by the nomination Of Scott; and yet those who
represent them in Congress are contending for
the nomination of somebody else. 1--WE hope"
the Courier remarks, that "the mass Of the Wing
party will not be influenced in the nomination by
a power which, if gratifed, will do nothing to
help in the election"

New Law Of Descent In Indiana.

We very much desire to see the bill recently
introduced by Mr.. Robert Dale Owen, and which
has passed the legislature of Indiana, and is to
take effect on the first of August next. This is
said to be the most important act ever passed by
the legislature of that State, and will affect every
property holder in it. The State Sentinel says
1t makes changes radical and sweeping; it
abolishes the principles of law that have pre-
vailed for the last six or eight centuries-since
the days of William the Conqueror-and most of
which still prevail over the Union, except in a
few States, which lean to the civil law system"

The Fire Last Night,

At about ten o'clock last night, a white man
was seen to draw himself up on the fence in the
rear of Mrs. Goggius boarding. house, Pepnsyl-
vania avenue, between Sixth and Seventh streets,
and set FIRE to the wooden stable. He escaped,
and SO did the stable for that time, as the fire
was promptly extinguished.

General scott In Old Virginia.
One gun fired the morning after his nomination,
in honor of his victorious march down the great
valley of Mexico would excite burst of enthus-
asm to which your Compromise" reclamation
would be as the murmuring of a rivulet to the
thunders of the Niagara. Talk to the people OF
MS achievments-his distinguished public ser
vices for twenty-five years, through all the dan
gers of battle and storm-of the honor and glory
he has given to our name and our flag among all
the nations of the earth-how nobly and grandly
he has born himself, until he now stands the
most renowned man of his age and associated
with whatever is illustrious in the annals of our
fame. Tell them of these things, and, to their
honor be it spoken, they will reward with the
honors of the country the man who has so often
indicated and defended the country.
Shall Wings object to him? He has stood by
that party amid all it's defeats-under every
species of obloquy and reproach-wth consis-
other man in America. He has never asked for
Office; he has not intrigued for station; he has
been in no mans way; he wears not laurel that
was not gained by his valor and the shedding OF
his blood. Are there no honors for the men of
toil-the defenders of the republic Shall they
sit down, covered with the dust, and the heat,
and toll of thirty years battle and receive nothing
at the hands Of the people?
To those who talk of General Scotts want Of
qualification for the Presidency, have not a
word to say. 'Ts vain to argue with them. But
may it not with propriety he said that the same
talent, energy, and power of command which
have already rendered him illustrious, will ena-
BILE him to fill with distinction any station TO
which he may be called? In these times of pub
lie degeneracy, we need a man who will rise above
the miserable factions that throng the avenues to
power and place-a man of honest heart incor
ruptible integrity and undaunted firmness, and
the nerve to command and to execute.
Gen. Scott is possessed of all these qualfca-
tons in as eminent degree as any man in Ame-
RIGA. | believe he will be made the President
He will rise above all the combinations and
schemes concocted by politicians to defeat him,
and in his own person vindicate the country from
the asperson that republics are ungrateful.
