THE MEAKs.-The campaign opens rich.
Slanderers are called upon the stapdto prove
that Scott is not much of military man
after all, and liars are called to build up the
reputation of Gen. Pierce. At public meet
ing in Accomac Virginia, short time since,
Mr.. Wise called upon Mr.. Map who testi-
flied that, two years since, he was at a public
discussion in New Hampshire and heard J.
| p. Hale say that "he would head an army to
march upon the South and put down slave
~" and heard Gen. Pierce reply,"If Hale
should head an army to march upon the
South, he had first to march over his
| (Pierce's) dead body; for he would head an
army to oppose him''A-and the report adds
that the Old Virginia Court House rang with
lplaudits aud hurrahs as loud as. those that
were heard at another meeting when distin-
guished State officer made an illFtimed allu-
sion to the surrender of 300 Americans to
1900 British and Indians. ''F' ih,l 's3u g.
Unfortunately for Mr.. Wise's shrewdness
in calling such willing witness and Mr.
Maps veracity, John p. Hale states that he
has had no controversy with Gen. Pierce
since ls45, and SO the joint coinage Of Mr..
Wise and Mr.. Map loses all its, force,
There only chance to make a fortune de-
pends upon the fact, which Mr. Wise re-
joices in, that no papers circulate in his dis
trict 1t was rather small way to make
capital for Gen. Pierce at any rate. This
trying to build up'one mandy pulling anoth-
er down, wont win in this canvass.
I PIERcE's VorEs--His Mdgndniarity. y.--On
the 18th of February, 1893, Gen. Pierce
voted against bill granting pensions to
those who were engaged in the wars against
the Indians subsequent to the close of the
revolutionary war and down to the treaty
of Greepville. This class Of persons had
been left out of the nct Of 1892. l..,.
In 1896, Gen. Pierce voted against ex-
tending the provisions Of an act entitled an
act supplementary to the act for the relief
Of certain surviving officers and soldiers of
the Revolution, approved eth June, 1889.
b. In 184l, he resisted the passage of a bill
to extend the provisions Of an act giving FIVE
years half pay to the widows or orphans of
officers and soldiers who have died in the
service of the United States. 5,Aaa.H .
lie has voted against appropriations for
the improvement of Rivers and IIarbors,
against appropriations for all kinds of inter-
nal improvements, against bill intended
to lower the price of lands in favor of actual
lsettlers, against bill granting small do
nation to the widow of President Harrison,
and .in-nearly, if not quite all the above in
stances, the votes of distinguished Demo-
crats are recorded upon the other side. For
the very first, we notice the name Of James
X. Polk recorded among the ayes. ,s
l. 1t is no wonder that Parson Brownlow,
the frequently quoted ally of Locofocoism in
this campuign, calls him a"cold-blooded yam

Iowa ELEcTroN.--We are yet without full
returns of the recent election in Iowa. II
is supposed that the Loeofoco State ticket is
elected by small majority. In the Burling-
ton district, John p. Cook is elected by from
100 to 1000 over Black, his Locofoco op.
ponent. In the Keokuk district, Hem, Lo.
lcofoco, beats Vieie, Wing, running ahead Of
his ticket, His majority is not yet known
The State has hitherto been completely un
der the influence Of the Locofocos. OF tht
Legislature, the st. Louis Republican says
The Iowa Senate is composed of 81 mem
bers and the House of So. In the last Leg
slature the Wings had four Senators AM
! FIVE Representatives. So far as heard from
at the recent election, our advices are, that
the Wings have elected fourteen Senators
and feel quite sure of two more. The Lo
cofocos have elected fifteen. This woul'
give the Wings a majority In the Senate. -
We have heard of the election of 80 whig
to the House of Representatives and Of q
Locotocos; but the further returns will Civ
the Locofocos, probably, majority of ten o
! twelve on Joint ballot. Had it not been TO
/ the Free Soil votes in the Whig counties 0
Henry, jefferson, and Washington-wher
the great folly was committed of runnin
Union or Independent tickets, operatin
solely 10 the advantage of the Locofocos-
the Legislature Wohld have been Wing, an
the election of n Wing United States Sena
tor SECURED. In several counties, also, tn
Wings lost members by from two to thirteet
! votes. ss,'s+ .'.. q.
