A RIDICULOUS CHARGE.

The Wing press and Wing politicians in their
utter inanity and hopelessness at finding any just
grounds for opposition to Gen. Pierce, after most
scrutinizing search Of the record during his entire
career in Congress, in their extremity attempting
to make some capital out of the fact, that in 1884,
while member of the House of Representatives, he
gave vote denying to one Edmund Brooke the Pric
vilege of removing his slaves into the District of
Columbia Now this vote is an exceedingly small
circumstance, and proves absolutely nothing against
Gen. Pierce. This attempt is in keeping with the
malignant efforts which have characterized the Scott
party in their endeavors prejudice the minds of the
people at the South against their long tried and con-
ssteDt friend.
1t has been the policy of most of the Southern
States prohibit the introduction of slaves within
their limits The statute books both Of Virginia and
Maryland contain provisions to this effect and man
has right to immgrae to either of these States with
his slave properly. similar law exists in the Dis
trct of Columbia. 1t was adopted in accordance
with the sentiments and views Of the save-owners of
that territory. Under these circumstances, ap-
plication made by Mr.. Brooke to have private
act passed. extending to him the privilege of intro
ducng his negroes into the District. The amount CT
Gen. Pierce's offending consists in his refusal to abb
rogate the law for the especial benefit of the app-
cant. The vote which he gave was in accordance
with the wishes of the shareholders of the District.
After this exposition of the facts, who has cause
to complain of tl Gen. Pierce simply voted to pre-
unchanged the law then and no,c existing in the
District of Columbia. His vote did not deny to the
slave-owner any RIGHT Uhch the ln,O care him, nor
did it refuse TO him, is alleged by opponents,
the right 10 remove his property from one State to
another. All that Gen. Pierce did was simply to de-
cline giving to Mr.. Brooke special privilege which
no other citizen in the District enjoyed. So much
for this objection. The people will see to what
desperate suberfuges the Scott press resort In order
to excite the hostility of the South against General
Pierce.
All efforts to make it appear that the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency is inimca to insti
tutions are bound recoil upon their authors. The
people cannot be convinced that the man who voted
for Pinckney's resolutions in the House, and for Cal
houn's in the Senate, the subject OF savery-who
ostracised Atwood because he opposed the fugitive
slave law and Hale because he opposed the annexa-
ton of Texas, is abolitionst. The thing is an
absurdy too gross for popular belief.

" To BURN THAT LETTER "
ENTHUSIASM FOR PIERCE AND HI


A friend writing us from Rowan, says: Old
Rowan will give Pierce and King at least one hun
dred majority"
Another friend, writing from the West saysa
"There is not a dissenting voice in our ranks in
this quarter, but elsewhere dissatisfaction seems
to prevail in the Wing party here. You heard
good news from the West in August, but You will
hear better in November. The Democracy are
united to a man on Pierce and King. To-day the
Wings have Mass Meeting in Statesville, but the
impression is that it will be failure"
The intelligence we are receiving from all POr
tons of the State is of similar character Ever!
where the Republicans are united and enthusiastic
every where the Federalsts are more or less
divided, and lethargic. And how, indeed, can it
be otherwise? Is it expected that those " Um0n
Wings" who were compelled to stand by and see
Mr.. Fillmore sacrificed, can throw up their caps
and shout for his and their enemies!
Stand to your posts and work, brother Democrats
and you will carry the State in November BY a
triumpha mt majority.

ADVANCE IN PIE Price OF WINES AND FRUITS.
The New York Post states that the news FROM the
Levant from Sardinia, Spain, France and Madeira is
very disastrous to the grapes and, in consequence,
great rise has tax place in wines, brandies,
rants and raisins with further rise in anticipation
Zapte currents have risen from cents within the
last ten days and holders refuse to sell under
Mederia 80 per cent; Sherry 10 20 per cent; Cog
nae brandies 10 Is per cent; and rasins cents
per h. In Madeira, all through the Island, the vine
has suffered and in parts wholly destroyed, SO
that the island will have nothing to export the next
year, which must be of great suffering to the in
habitants, the grape is to them what potatoes used
to be to large part of Ireand-the principal support.

GIVE US LIGHT-HOW IS IT?

We are informed that the Hon. James T. More
head in his recent speech before the Scott Club in
this City, made the following statement, upon the
authority of Mr.. Senator Cooper, of Pennsylvania,
who gave Mr.. M. his consent that the same might
be made public, viz: That General Scott told him,
Mr.. Cooper, that the reason he did not publish a
letter approving of the Compromise measures, in
answer to the Resolutions of the Ohio and Penn
sylvania Conventions nominating him for the Pre-
sidency, was, that he aUas not officially notified
Of the proceedings Of those bodies and had he
been so notified, he aOould haze put pen to paper IN
fve minutes, and they aOould haze got his prompt
and decided ansa0er.
If this be true it is most extraordinary develop
ment, and ought to be known to the public. The
reason assigned to Mr.. Cooper, as above rected, is
quite different from that rendered by Gen. Scott.
in his letter of March, 1851, in which he ex-
presses a fear of disgusting the public, and
quite different also from that rendered by the
Register, " by Bolts, Jones, Stanly, Greedy and
others, towt that he might be considered as bid
ding for the Presidency" All these together would
confessedy be a very sorry excuse for Withholding
his views upon question of paramount and vital
concern to half the States. of the Union. But
considering Gen. SCOTS hot haste in accepting
by telegraph, the Baltimore nomination, with the
unofficial and false platform, before it was possible
that he could be officially notified, this last
apology for his silence is too preposterously
lame and Incredible to bear repeating to sensi-
BILE men. Did the officers of the Ohio and
Pennsylvania Conventions send Gen. Scott copy
of their proceedings, or not? And what are plain
and fair-mnded voters to think of candidate,
whose friends resort to such different and conflict
ing pleas to justify his courses
H The Register persists in speaking of Cen
Pierce as the Yankee Freesoil candidate" Gen.
Pierce was born in free State but is nevertheless
true to the Constitutional rights of the South Gen.
Scott was born in Virginia, left it of his ac-
cord to reside in free State, and is this day the
preferred candidate for the Presidency of Seward
and his allies. That is the difference. What Gen.
Pierce could not help is a crime, according to the
Register; but Gen. Scott deliberately did what
Gen: Pierce could not avoid, and is, according to
the same paper, entirely blameless. How long, oh
Wings of North Carolina, will you be blessed with
such an organ?

"BURN THAT LETTER p

1t vii be remembered that some two Or A..
months ago, the newspapers of Ohio reported d.
Mr.. Tlden of that State had said, in a snoosI

ing him that he (Wade) had just had CONVEX
