THE WAY THEY TREAT THEM-lf an Irish

British free trade, Pierce ticket, and go for
that great patriot and friend of his country.
Gen. Scott. the Statssman gets out of temper,
and pronounces all such persons Irish To-

where Mr. Edwards, an Irish speaker. was
addressing an Irish audience, prominent
Locofoco. named Kinder, after having an al
tercation with the speaker. left the house, say
ing @We'ye got id sight more Dutch and
Irish than we need jet them go, we don''

these Locofoco leaders. Such is The abuse
heaped upon foreigners if they dare to vote

&9 A few weeks since, we announced that
Robert Lucas, for two terms Locofoco Govern
or of Ohio, but now resident of Iowa, had
come out for Scott and Graham. The report
has been discredited by some Of the Locofoco
papers, and wholly denied by others.
The Ex-Governor publishes letter in the
Iowa Republican. to undeceive the faithless;
and which we commend to the candid atten-
ton of every voter. 1t is the commentary Of
an honest man upon the two men now before
Ihe people, candidates for the Presidency
After avowing himself Democrat alWas, the
Gov. says:
"As a Western man, therefore, and as an
original Jackson Democrat as friend to In
ternal Improvements, and to the protection
and encouragement of American industry,
cannot and will not support such man as
Franklin Pierce for the Presidency. And as
there is now but two prominent candidates
before the American people, namely: Gen.
Winfield Scott and Franklin Pierce, one Of
whom will necessarily be elected the next
President, shall most cheerfully and freely
give my vote and influence to Gen. Scott
| believe him. by far the best Democrat Of
the two, and one to whom every friend of the
West particularly. and to internal improve
ments. and to the protection and promotion Of
American industry. ought to prefer and cor
dially support.
Trusting that my position and views may
be fully understood, and with the warmesl
wishes for the success of the friends of Wes-
tern improvements, and for suitable protec-
tion and encouragement to American Industry,
Iremain trnly your
Obedient servant,

Prentice Of the Louisville Journal IS hard
TO beat Since they hove obliged him to
search the records, he has brought to light
something new in prophecy, as tollows:
RENARKABLE PRoPHEcY.-The Louisville
Journal gives an instance Of the great FORE
sight Of jefferson, when he presented TO
Winfield Scott his first commission in 1908.
Though il IS well known through The col
umns of the locofoco press, what the late
President Polk said Of Gen. Pierce, when
signing his commission as Brigadier General,
il may not be 90 familiar among the wings
as good many have not seen it We will,
thesefore, give the exact words, from approved
authorities The words of Polk we're: Il am
now commissioning a man who viii one day
be President of the United States"
This aneedote is not recorded in Chase's
History of the administration Of Polk. nor in
any of Ihe nine lives of that distinguished
man, which we have seen. II must be true
however, as :sveral lecofoco papers make the
prophecy a standing test at the headof their
editorial column.
We always had more faith in jefferson
than we had in Polk. His experience and
learning was Of higher standard. and his
superior ability as a statesman. is unques-
toned. His power Of foresight and prophecy
were equally great; and the people Of the
present day put more faith in his words than
in the apocryphai sentences that are recorded
of the latter day saints. whether the hickory
of which they are fashioned. be old or young.
The prophecy of Polk being of a later date
than thal of jefferson, it cannot mean the
next 4th Of March; and as it may be likely
that both prophecies are true, it will be seen
that Pierce viii have to await for some years
the coming Of she event spoken Of in the
prophecy Of Polk.
The prophecy Of Jefferson was uttered
while signing his name to Scott's commission
as captain ct artillery, and appears to have
been made in the presence Of the Secretary
of State from whom the Louisville Journal
had the anecdote "My dear sir" said JEFF
ferson, =. am now commissioning man who
will be elected to the Presidency in 1852.

Eg Gen. Cass. in a speech made in the
Senate just previous to the adjournment of
Congress. speaks as follows relative 70 the
abuse and vituperation that is now being
heaPed upon Gen. Scott by many of the To-
cofoco speakers and presses:
at is lamentabIe," says the General, "and
to spectator in Europe interested in the ex-
ample of our institutions, it must be deplora-
Bile. In the Old World it must seem as tho
no man were properly qualified to be can
didate for the Chief Magistracy of this nigh
ty country, unless he is about the greatest
rascal in it. Now, sir, will take no part nor
lot in such a warfare For myself, I repudi-
ate and reject it, believe that Gen. Scott
Is an honorable and patriotic citizen, and that
he has written his name and has deeds on one

circles his oro0. His a0reGM v1s fairly aUon,
and | will not be ono to prevent 1t from being
fairly worn. have enjoyed his personal
friendship for long series Of years. and do
not mean at this day BY any calunny to prove
myself unworthy of it."
The above paragraph is complete refuta-
ton of all the infsmous charges that has been
made against Gen. Scott by the small fry pol
iticians of the Locofoco party. Let honest
Democrats read the extract, and then say
which they place the most confidence in, the
assertions Of Lewis Cass Who has known Gen.
Scott "for long series of years." or those of
such men as the junior editor of the Demo
crat, who was in his nurses arms while Gen.
Scott was fighting the battles of his country.

expresses the folly and the wrong of voting

Il irst ask your votes for Winfield Scott
because you are compelled to choose between

choice. To vote for third candidats is the
suicide of suffrsge. 1t is to nullify a priVil-
