TO the inquiries with which we p' ed on
every hand to what we, think Of ScoTT's pros
poets, we answer in this Phrase borrowed from
somebody.
We left Pittsburgh few weeks since something
doubling the aspect OF atfars in Ohio and New
York. With opportunities of observation and
conference with great numbers Of citizens of both
those States, have returned encouraged and
hopeful, indeed confident of success. W. now be
lieve both Ohio and New York are safe for Scorr
and GRAHAM, and We have at time doubted that
we should carry Pennsylvania.
We offer these assurances to those readers of this
paper who trustful of our candor, and relying
somewha. upon our opportunities of making up u
reliable opinion, accustomed to seek as an
element of their own Judgment. BY such ex-
pect to be believed, and others may take opin.
ion at just that value which they choose to fix upon
it. l, is offered to Wings only Offset to the
reckless Boosting of the Democratic presses which
has often as little basis as il has no limit Ohio,
Pepnsy lvania, and New York admitted TO be SAFE
Scotts election is certain.

"No portion Of the United States combines so

valuable market, extending two thousand miles to
the Gulf Of Mexico. But the true riches OF Mime

soil. Her agricultural wealth yet unhappiy
developed, is her brightest jewel, and 10 destined
at no distant day to plnce her in the front rank Of

Hoe SLAuGHTERING AND PoRK PACKING has been
commenced on an extensive scale in New York
and disposition is evinced to vie with Cincinnati
in this business. The New York Journal Of Com
merce says:
"A large establishment has been erected near the
foot of 18th street, North river, and completed
last month, ut expense Of about IL 900, where
all the appa for hog Strengthening are brought
together in the moot complete form. The
rangemcnts will admit Of the slaughter Of
thousand hogs daily The buildings cover eight
lots, and workmen broke ground yesterday for the
erection of additional one to be sixty by eighty
feet. and four stories high. The grounds include
twenty lots, and arc princi pally covered by pens
capable of containing ten thousand hogs. When
in full operation, the present works employ about
sixty men large number Of hogs have already
been sent forward by western drovers to. be killed
and packed here. few days ago thousa nd
received from the neighborhood of Cincinnati,
which were forwarded by way of Sandusky and
the lakes, and over the Erie railroad. We in.
formed that A. Reed & Co., the largest hog dro.
vers and dealers in the country, now bring large
portion Of their stock here, and ntend to uti-
lnateIy bring the whole. The only remuneration
required for Strengthening ia the fat Of the in tea
tines, bristles, &c In securing these, women are
chiefly employed
lone OF the principal advantages of this estab-
lishment arises from the of huge ice houses,
arranged on patent principle, which admit of the
Strengthening of animals in all seasons. The meat

WoopcocKs-The Cecil Wing states that re.
Gently several of these birds were picked up dead
beneoth the telegraph wires near the railroad de-
pot; some were fresh killed and warm, and are
found generally after the night trims pass. II is
probable the cars frightened them from their ieed'
ing grounds along the bitches, and that they srike
the wires az they rise and are killed.

The Canvass.

There is every indication of a growing euthus
for General ScorT which bids fair to sweep
the country and to carry him trnmphantly into
the Presidency. The people coming to his
support, und are cordially recognising his claims
to their confidence md gratitude The consdera
ton comes home to the honest mind that the
vices Of more than forty years, rendered by
General Scott, with signal success and glory, and
by which the national renown has been exalted
and the interests of the country advanced-that
such services arc justIy entitled to full acknow
ledgment on the part Of the people, and
thy Of the honorable recompense which it lie now
in their power to bestow.
With regard to Maryland we may venture to
speak with some confidence 1t is not to the pur-
pose to boast in advance, but can, without hest
tation, express the belief that this State will give
her vote to General Scott by majority equal to
that of lS4S An active spirit is awakening among
the young Wings, who are moving forward in the
contest with energy and determination. The move.
ment will not stop 1t will go on with increasing
force and volume until the election in November
shall crown it with success.

McCorInck's machine appeared to be lighter, and
to work with more ease, while the pace necessary
was the same as that in ordinary ploughing. Its
cost, however, ia much greater than that of Hus

conclusion, both machines were reported to pos

At the same time. it is remarked that they are

ATTEMPT TO AsshssIsATK LOUIS NAroLEoH.--The
New York Commercial ddotrtissr publishes the fol
lowing extract of letter from American re.
sdent in Paris, received by the Africa:
"An attempt was made some three days ago TO
assassinatc Louis Napoleon his way from St.
Cloud. An individual fired a musket shot at him
from trench the route, and the ball grazed his
left shoulder. Seeing that he had failed in his at.
tempt, the ASSASSIN Immediately blew out his own
brains. The Journals have been prohibited from
speaking Of the matter"

General PIERCE's refusal to write letters is
a prime point in his character, according to the
Unions estimate.
With the effect of his letter to Mr.. De LEON
before him, we do not wonder that General
PIERCE shrnks from the more frequent use Of
his pen. That letter. intended to exculpate
him from the difficulty into which his tongue
had led him at New Boston, emily added to its
force, and furnished new material for an assault
upon his political consistency. The letter
should have contradicted the report that he had
denounced the Fugitive Slave law, but it
failed to touch the point, and only showed that
whatever be General PIERcE's merits as a sol
der or lawyer he has no particular claims
upon our admiration as correspondent
1t is pity that an over nice sense OF pro-
priety leads General PIERCE to abstain from
letter writing on occasions when letter would
be acceptable. A reply To Mr.. K. e. ScorT's
inquiry would have been courteous to gentle
man who is honored with the correspon dence of
General CAss, Judge DOUGLAS. General HoUs-
TON, and all other Presidential aspirants, and
would, besides, satisfy strong public curiosity.
1t is Notifying, too, that the same inconve-
nient delicacy has induced General PIERCE to
remain silent under the ntervogatories Of the
Alabama Secessionists. A less modest man
would have prevented the ugly controversy
between Judge CLAY and Mr.. CLEMENS as to
his views on the secession question. But Cen
eral PIERCE, it seems, prefers to be misappre
hended in reference to Secession. the Fugitive
Slave law, and all other important topics,
rather than forfeit his reputation as an enemy
of letterwriting.
Is it exactly true, however, that General
PIERCE writes no letters2" Possibly the
Union remembers that when we brought to
light the evidences of his Freesoil avowals, it
avowed that it had seen letters on the subject
lover the Generals own signature" So that,
according to the Union, General PIERCE does
write letters sometimes The misfortune is
that when he should write he does not, and
that what he does write is rarely permitted to
creep into print. His light shines too seldom
to be always under bushel.

CENsus OF IowA.-From table published in
the Dubuque (Iowa) Express, it appears that the
population Of the State Of Iowa has increased in
two years from 1896 to 24o 900, or about % per
cent. The Davenport (Iowa) Gazette says:
Several curious facts ascertained from this
table. From it we learn that Scott county has po-
pulatcd faster than any county in the State, hav.
ing increased nearly fifty per cent. within the last
two years; while, on the contrary, Des Moines
and Jefferson counties have decreased in popula-

Hamilton on Tuesday, TO attend the Wing mcttlng

Club-the former turned out one hundr,d and ten
members, and the latter sirty tpe.
The Irish Club wore badge Of green ribbon, and
bore their banner these words: "Irish Boys

The German Club wore distinctive badge, and
carried banner inscribed German Scott Club
from Hamilton"

constructed the machinery, and 1t Is mt that
they should watch its working.
In this alliance Of ultra Northerners and
anomaly, but it is only semblance. In re-
atty, the whole affair is consistent and natu-
rain strict accordance with the antecedents
of the parties concerned, with their present
exigences, and with the history of extreme
factions everywhere.
The Freesoilers and the Secessioniss, though
widely apart in their abstract principles. 50
far as they have any, and though differing In
regard to the ultimate results for which they
contend, are agreed in reference 10 one essen
tal consideration. They have common
antagonist to contend against They are
planted on common issue, with full
Knowledge that success in relation TO 1t Will
benefit reel procally their respective purposes.
They have common interest adverse 10
the Union, as such. They know that their
chances OF success depend upon circumstances
that are at variance with the peace of the coun-
try They are aware that their capacity Is
limited by their opportunities of agitation. and
that their power will be stricken down if the
Wing candidate be elected. One demands
the abrogation of clear provision OF the
Constitution, and the adoption .of restrlc-
tons that are incompatible with the nteg-
ritv of the existing Union of States. The
other demands a severance OF the Union,
as preliminary to the formation Of 4 Southern
Confederacy. One denounces the Constitution
as a compact with the devil, and wages war
upon its laws as covenants with inqulty. The
other denounces it as failure, fraught with
ruin and oppression. 1t is not difficult to
perceive that two such factions are linked
together in innumerable ways, and are able,
without any palpabe departure from con
ssteEcy, to unite their strength as against
the friends Of the Union. That they man
aged when at Baltimore 10 defeat every
successive candidate Of the Union DEM
ocrats is proof positive of the thoroughly sec
tionalized character Of the Democratic party
That they nominated General Pierce, and
strive energetically to secure his election, Is In
the same manner proof OF his adaptation to
their ends. His nomination was the conse-
quence of a compromise by factions. His trl-
umph would be the triumph of factions, from
their nature inimical To the. peace and prosper
ity Of the country.
How Union Democrats can be deceived as
to the nature of the alliance, the motives that
prompt it, or the results which it involves, Is
indeed paradox, and one that we are unable
to explain. Beyond that. every thing relating
to PIERCE, his nominalors and supporters, is
perfectly Ineligible.
