FreesOilers for Pierce,

Amongst the States claimed as certain to
vote for PIERCE and KING is Wisconsin, and
the ground on which the claim rests is the
alleged determination of the Freesoilers to sup
port the Democratic ticket. That is the rea-
son assigned by the Freesoil Democratic press
for the belief, which the New York Euening
Post exemplifes by the publication, edtorially,
Of the following piece of information, which
will assuredly assist the South in its efforts to
estimate the character of the PIERCE influences
in the North and West:
"Mr. Utter, and many other citizens of Wal
worth county. Wisconsin, who were Wings up to
s4s, and since Freesoilers signed the call for the
Democratic ratification meeting. The Star, the
Freeso paper in that county, also supports Pierce
and King. Last year Walworth county voted for
Governor Farwell, Wing. l,64l; Upham, Dem.
ocrat, 1853. Now it is sure to give o majority for
Pierce and King"
TO show that the Walworth county Free
sellers do not stand alone in the movement, and
that it is persevered in with the specific object
of advancing the extreme purposes of the fac
ton, we append portion Of an editorial from
the Berlin (Marquette county, Mercury, pa
per in full recognised communion with the De-
mocracy Of the State:
"The people of Northern Wisconsin, especially
the settlers on the Indian lands ,shite men;
and they go for ,ohite and for tohite la,rs.
There is not negro amongst them, nor any thing
niggardly about them; yet they are friends to the
slaves. and hope for their ultimate emancipation
from bondage. Their voices have been raised
against the rigid execution of the Fugitive Slave
law and they will never rest 20 long domestic
slavery is tolerated in our nation. Yet they are
law.abiding men. and will not repudiate the
publican principle of yielding sectional prejudices
to the will of the majority. The Fugitive Slave
law is the law of the land and in full force. 1t 10
to be deplored. -And is to be repealed! But how?
BY ELEcrINa PIEacE AND KING. Will not Wis
consin prove true to herself? Has she not able and
faithful champions in the halls of the nation? Has
she not placed Dodge and Walker in the Senate,
and Doty and Durkee in the House of Representa-.
tives? Who doubts their integrity and patriotism!
And if their seats become vacated during the Pre-
sidentia term of Pierce and King, have we not
equally as true and able men to fill them? There
is no fnality to the Fugitive Slave law; there can
be none till it is longer ia,c The liberty of
speech cannot be suppressed, and that hdeous la,c
,oiH not escape debate till it is repealed deprived Of
It's fangs."

mocracy!

That Letter,

In the House yesterday Mr.. OLDs, Of Ohio,
INDUCED in a speech marked with the candor
and liberality which might be expected from a
gentleman of his reputation. We understand
that he was very effectively replied to by his
colleague, Mr.. BELL. Mr.. Polk Interrupt
ed MIR. BELL by propounding certain in-
|terrogatories. Mr.. BELL rejoined by pro.
pounding questions to Mr.. Polk, touching Cen
eral PIERoE's reply to Mr.. Scorr; which pro-
duced, as we learn, no little merriment. we
might say no little noise and confusion, !"
in the House. Mr.. BELL desired to know
if General Pierce had replied to MIR.
ScoTr, and if yea, why his response had
never met hepublic eye? Mr.. POLK replied that
MIR. PIERCE was not candidate for the Prcsi-
dency, and that his answer to the committee of
the.Baltimore Convention was deemed sufi-
|cient. 1t will be remembered that Mr.. Polk
stated in the House some time before the con
vention that all the Democratic candidates had
pledged themselves to veto any bill repeating
Tor modifying the Fugitive Slave law. Yes
terday Mr. MEADE came to Mr.. PoLK's assist
ance, and stated that the letter of Mr.. Scorr
reached General PlERCE's residence during
his absence, and was opened by his partner,
who replied that General PIERCE was not a
candidate for this station. The whole scene
was an amusing one, and we shall comment
upon it when we receive the official report.
Where is General PIERcE's letter.
Where is the letter of General PIERcE's
partner2
We remember to have read that the news of
his nomination was conveyed to General
PIERCE by the clerk of the circuit court Of the
United States for the Massachusetts district,
Mr.. Isaac o. BARNES, who found the General
at Mount Auburn, indulging in meditations
among the tombs. We wonder if Mr.. BARNES
was consulted with regard to the propriety of
answering MIR. SooTT, and if so, what advice
he gave2 This matter must be inquired into.
Produce the letter.

Mr. PERKINS appealed to the gentleman to
withdraw the motion. as he wished to offer an
amendment.
Mr.. OLDS did not a~qncsce.
Mr.. PERKINS said the friends of the bill refused

upon the table
The question was taken. and the motion dis.

On motion of Mr.. HOUSTON, the House resolved
itsri into Committee Of the Whole the state OF

the bill making appropriations for the support Of
the Military Academy for the year ending June
30 1853.
Ar H. said that there was no unusual appro
pri4t.ou In the bill; on the contrary some of the
ilcuIs had been reduced; and he desired 10 take
up 10 day, If he could, the Civil and Diplomatic
Appropriation bill, which ia the most important

tee would allow the bill now before them t. be
passed upon without general debate.
Mr. OLDS obtained the floor; and, after notify
ing the House that he intended to make political
epoech proceeded 10 state his premises.
Mr. SrANLY rose to question of order-that it
not competent on this bill TO make speech upon
the Presidential question. The Democrats have more
than fifty majority, and let them take the respon
sihIity Of indulging such irrelevant dice ussons at
this late period Of the session.
The CHAIRMAN, after remarkiug that the
usage in the committee justified such proceedings,
pronounced Mr.. OLps in order.
MIR. STANLY appealed from the decision Of the
Chair.
The question was taken on sustaining the Chair,
but no quorum voted; ayes rs, noes SO.
According to the rule in such cascs, the roll Of
members called, when the committee rose
