HYPOCRISY EXPOSED.

While Gen. PIERCE is held up by his Southern
supporters as peculiar champion of the Compro-
mise and faithful advocate Of their institutions,
and the proceedings of the Baltimore Convention
are daily cited as evidence of the soundness of the
Democratic party on the subject of slavery, the
Northern Freesoil wing, under the lead of the
Wilmots and Van Burens, openly repudiate the
platform and "kick it as foot ball" We have
already shown that the worst agitators, who con-
Quoted the crusade against the South when Sec
tional strife assumed its most alarming aspect, are
the very men who have been taken to the peculiar
confidence Of Gen. Pierce, and who are marshalling
their fanatical forces for another and terrible
struggle, should their Vaccinations succeed. Sup
ported as he now is, and with the counsels which
would inevitably prevail in the event of success, we
should regard the election of the Democratic candi
date the signal for renewal of that dangerous
agitation by which alone the stability of this Union
can ever be seriously threatened.
But our present purpose is to invite attention to
some remarks of distinguished Democratic mem
Der of the present Congress from Ohio-Hon. DAVID
CARTTER-taken from recent speech delivered at
Sandusky, as exhibiting the mode of electioneering
for Gen. Pierce in the free States. In contrasting
the two parties, he said
The Democratic party party Of progress and
liberty Under this head he discussed the action of the
ate Baltimore Convention He demonstrated that the
action Of that Convention endorsing the Compromise
Sures usmpaon and violation Of the Democratic
creed not part of it in direct contrayenon of the
faith Of the Ohio Democracy, repeatedly declarednot
expression of that faith. The Democracy Of Ohio
would stand by her repeatedly -avowed opinions
He for abolishing most of the navy, and oil its
corruptons for aboishing the custom-houses with their
corrupt retaners and substituting free trade and direct
taxation for checking land monopoly, and distributing
the public lands to actual settlers for kicking that part Of
The Baltimore Platform referring 10 the Compromise as foot
ball. and keeping the Democratic party in the line
party of progress and liberty"
Such are the appeals which the Freesoil partsans
and presses of the North address to their con-
stituents and readers as arguments for supporting
the Baltimore nomination while on the other hand,
at the South, the same candidate, despite all his
Abolition antecedents and affiliations, is held up and
commended as the very incarnation of what pro-
slavery President should be. When the two sec
tons Of the party sustain Gen. Pierce upon prin-
ciples SO directly in conflict with each other, one
or the other must be guilty Of deception; and we
leave the decision of that point upon the evidence
submitted, to the discrimination of the public.

- WORD FROM KnssnTH

The following is extract of recent letter from
KossUTH which appears in the New York Tribune
of the 18th instant, addressed to the Germans Of
the United States
al hope that the Germans in America, conscious that
they hold BALANCE POWER in their hands, have not
thrown their influence Internationally into the scale but
true to the Philadelphia platform, have obtained from
their candidate pledge that he win carry the prn-
cpes which, powerfully furtherng the Of popular
emancipation in Europe, also involve the honor and the
interest of America. they have not already done this
permit to remind them that, the decisive moment
approaches, On independent position becomes i'm
portant and that, If they Internationally pledge them
selves in advance to party leader il may be long before
the Of German citizens in the United States win be
again in condition to exercise great influence

WARNING AGAINST A FORGERY.

Believing that little is ever effected by petty
tricks in the decision of great National issues, we
seldom notice the little fabrications which appear
openly in the columns of the partisan press on the
eve Of a Presidential election. Finding, however,
that of these counterfets, Styled by our adyer-
saries RoorJacks,") which appeared few days
ago in the columns of the Union, and which we
were yesterday enabled to nail to the counter has
received fresh and more covert start in the shape
of handful for Southern circulation, we recur to
the fabrication with the view to put our Southern
friends on their guard against it. This it is:
On the 18th instant the Union contained what
purported to be a late letter from the Hon. LEWIS
d. CAMPBELL, Of Ohio, placing General SCOTT in
false position in regard to the Fugitive Slave
Law, and on Monday last we received from Mr..
CAMPBELL, by Telegraph, and published yesterday,
the following letter:
CHAMELEON, OCTOBER Is, 1852.
/" To the Editors Of the National Lateligeacer:
"The publication in the Union of Tuesday the
10Th instant, over my name, declaring Gen. SCorT
for a repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law, is base
forgery never wrote or published such circular.
"LEWIS D. CAMPBELL"
Yesterday there was placed in our hands a large
handful, printed by the Democratic Committee in
this city, containing the fabricated letter, accompa
MED by various infammatory imputations on Gen
ScoTT, together with other electoneering matter
and headed in staring capitals, "AsToUNDINd DIS
CLOSURE VOICE OF WARNING TO THE SOUTH :
This handful of course prepared before the ap
pearance of Mr. CAMPBELLs contradiction but We
are credibly informed that one hundred thousand
copies Of it have been printed, and as they have
doubtless been transmitted to the South in great
number, we give this information to the Wing
presses in that quarter that they may guard the
public against the imposition. We do this lest the
Union may not itself come forward promptly with 1
dsavowal of the fraud which, we presume, has beer
practsed on it by one possessing more zeal thar

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK EXPRESS.
VERA CRUZ, OCTOBER 8

have been in the interior of this country, and
| cannot avoid coming to the conclusion that the
Government is falling all to pieces, and that some
serious change is impending, the consequences Of
which to the United States it is impossible to fore
see From what can learn, great effort is max
ing to bring back SANTA ANNA, who seems to be
the only man that has been able to govern here
with any efficiency. In the pronunciamiento that
has come from Guadalajara, SANTA ANNA is espe-
cally invited to return " to cooperate in sustaining
the federal system, and in the reestablishment of
order and peace"
The Government, upon the announcement of this
pronunciamiento, suspended all communication with
Jalisco and determined to march its troops against
Guadaajara But in consequence of this and other re-
volutonary movements in other parts of the Repub
lie, the general impression is that the Government of
Arsta is nearly defunct The President is indeed
already named in many circles and he said be Munez
Ledo the actual Governor of Guanauato who is litera
ry and political gentleman of much distinction.
Near Cerro Gordo lately, detachment of the National
Guard that went out from Peroe the 10th toward ia
apa attacked by the factoniss rebels when in
an ambuscade. Don Juan Zamora commanded this force
and when attacked in the vanguard with about fifty
men, having eight in observation ahead of them.
Capt Zamora when he discovered the factonsts opened
fire upon Them but they leaped from the ambuscade
ing We friends and Zamora being deceived by the
cry, his party ceased to fire, and they
powered by numbers surrounding them.

most deporable and affecting accounts of the alright
der which the people labor and of the mode and

The Government alarmed by the disturbed of the
country has convoked Congress assemble the Goth

President Arsta has issued proclamation
considering that, before all things, the Government
is obliged sustain the institutions Of the country and to
maintain domestic tranquility and that these objects
be carried out efficiently only by suppressng commotion
in the State of Jasco and putting down the sedton and
anarchy there,
at is decreed that attacks upon the authority Of unc
tonares unlawful and that they who guilty Of
doing shall be imprisoned from four to six months, &C.
What will be the end of all these movements, pronun-
ciamentos, and revolutions remains to be seen. The
Government is without credit, and without power Of

ed from the Coshocton District, and not DAVID

by 400 majority between DR.. WINNELL and Rev.J

contest the return of Dr. OLDs, on the ground that
nineteen votes cast for him in Madison township
were blunderngly placed in the Assessors box, and
thus rejected, when, if counted, they would have
given the return to GALLOWAY.
