Our Locotoco neighbors are making a great pa

caution them to keep cool now. As we consider fact
huch more reliable than assertions, we propose to
snow how things in Indiana really are As to Gov
erhor Wright, he is not only Locofoco but he ia
every mans man; he embraces every interest in
the entire circle and at the recent election has re-
ceived from 5000 to 900 Wing votes This may be
called assertion; but now for the facts.

are already received, we find Wright to have out.
ran his Democratic brethren from so to $50 in
every county, making a full average of 1856 for
every county. Now this average for the ninety
odd counties would exceed IL 900 in the State; and
deduct this amount from Governor Wrights
claimed majority, and the majority for the Locofo-
CO candidates for Congress would be reduced be-

General Scott at q Concert.

a journal which eschews party politics, has the
following notice Of General Scorr's visit to
Madame SoNTAG's concert in Philade phia
When General ScoTT entered the Musical
Fund Hall last evening, where a very large and
brilliant audience was assembled to hear Madame
sontag, he was greeted with hearty plaudits' such

blage under very extraordinary circumsta noes.
His commanding figure lowered above the masses,
and rs he passed along the aisle, bowling to the
repeated greetings offered to him, none could fail
to be impressed with pr-scnce at once 80 d! sni-

years, without feeling of admiration and love for

such repeated services General Scott's, in diff

the people, even against the prejudices of party

GovERNoR FooTE's MEssAGE.-This document
was sent to the Mississippi Legislature on the 4th
instant. The New Orleans Picayuns makes an
abstract of it's contents:
"The Governor cnumerates and enlarges on the
topics which will engage the attention of the Le-
gisature. The first named ia the redistricting the
State for Congressional elections. Mississippi is
entitled to five Representatives in the next Con.
gress, and there exists no provision by which the
nth member can be chosen without rearrange-
ment Of the districts, which are now four only.
The Legislature failed at the last session to ma Ike
this reapporionment in consequence OF the ina
bility OF the two Houses to agree upon bill.
The.Governor laments the failure, but urges the
Importance Of acting defntively on the subject as
greater now from the uncertainty which exists
whether the Legislature will be able to elect Sen.
etor in Congress in place of Mr.. Brooke, whose
term expires on the 18th of March. He thinks it
will be very unfortunate for Mississippi to lose
one fifth of her representative power in Congress
at the same time that she will be without one half
of her senatorial weight at time when new ad
ministration ia 10 come into existence, new cab
net to be appointed, and some very important
subjects OF foreign relations to be considered and
acted upon.
"The state of the treasury ia recommended to
the examination of the Legislature, but clear
account is given Of its deficiencies, the measures
proper for supplying them. On this head the
port of the treasurer hereafter to be made, ID re-
terred to for the necessary information.
"Neither ia there any specific recommendation
on the subject Of internal improvements His
e1cellency contents himself with expressing his
qualification at the internal improvement spirit
which is prevailing 80 extensively, and promising
hs cheerful cooperation with the Legislature in
any acts which they may consider il proper to

Reasons fer Rejecting General Pierce,

DIX solid ".s,i,umns of the central Democratic
ing Franklin PIERCE" We think that
ample reasons for his rejection may be con-
densed into fractional part Of that space.
|. FRANKLIN PIERCE is the nominee Of the
Southern Rights and Freesoil factions, and
has their leaders for his most active advocates.
2. His life affords no evidence Of the saga
city or the administrative ability requisite for
the efficient ful6lment of the duties Of Chief
Magistrate.
}. His position upon the slavery question is
unsatisfactory. He has declared that he hates
slavery and loathes the Fugitive Slave law !;
and he has evaded question pledgng him to
sustain this law. He is identified with the
New Hampshire Democracy, which is Free
soil; and on two important occasions, while in
Congress, he voted against the South.
4. He is the enemy of river and harbor i'm
provements, and would be bound, if elected, to
veto any measure making appropriations for
them.
8. He is the representative Of the money aud
manufactures of Eng land, as opposed to the
resources, skill, and industry of the American
people.
=. His associations indicate that the foreign
policy of his Government would be perilous to
the peace and prosperity of the country The
foreign policy marked out for him by his most
active advocates is neither more nor less than
unbounded flibusterism
I. His advent to power would be the signal
for renewed agitation by factions inimcal to
the integrity Of the Union. The extreme
State Righto doctrine would be revived by his
Southern multiplying friends, with all the eclat
that victory could impart to them; while the
Freesoilers would avail themselves of his an
tecedents and his alliances as a cover under
which to assail the finality Of the Compromise
measures.

Nothing short Of the actual event can convince

were inevitable, it would still be the duty and we

conquered and unconquerabe. Let no Wing talk

The Candidates and the South.

There is marked difference in the positions
relatively occupied by the two candidates to-
ward the South.
General PIERCE was at first claimed as emf
nently satisfactory to the Southern portion Of
the country. He was announced as reliable,
conservative man. specially acceptable to friends
of the Compromise and the Union. Inquiry
laid bare the hollowness of the plea and ex-
hlblted him as he is, the leader of Freesol
Democracy, and the choice Of so much Of The
South as gives nourshment to Sscessionists.
Cnlon Democrats form a subordinate power in
the party organization. In many instances
they resent the insult by acting independently;
In others they are cooled into indifference; and
In others, again, they take refuge in the Wing
ranks.
General PIERCE, then, started well with the
South, but has been losing ground ever since.
His strength IN that direction is now mainly
sectional, and therefore limited
General SCoTr, on the other hand had the
first flush of Southern feeling agains, him. Ne
cause standing in the place Of him on whom
the South had fixed its first and strongest love.
But all doubts as to General Scorr's feeling
towards the South were dssi pated before the
close OF the convention. The platform EN-
bodied all that the South desired, and he plant
ed himself upon it promptly and without re-
servatlon. One by one, The falsehoods and
misrepresentation which had been circulated
IN reference to his opinions and associations
were blown to pieces by Southern hands; and
he Is now recognised by the Wings Of the
south as IN every way worthy of their conf
dence The few Wings who were too strong
~ pledged against him to give him their SUD-
port prefer neutrality to the support of the
Democratic ticket; while their places are more
than filled by the Union men who have on
this occasion left the Democratic ranks.
The ground lost by General PIERCE in the
South has been gained by General Scorr, who
has the satisfaction of knowing that each sue
ceeding day adds to his list Of Southern friends
NO one conversant with the Southern press
either ~ leader or reflector Of public opinion,
can deny that powerful reaction has taken
place In General ScoTr's favor. and that it is
yet progressing. The Democratic papers evnce
'helr knowledge of the fact by changing their
grounds Of attack, and by the invention Of new
frauds to deceive the people. These attempts
VIII talI, as the others have done. Despite Of
all attempts TO prevent them, the people will
institute a comparison between the qualifica-
tons, merits, services, and relative reiableness
OF the two candidates; and on the result of tina,
comparison the Wings rely with perfect conf
dence

| meeting was a large and beautiful grove Of oaks
| skirting the Columbia turnpike, the main thorough

| ty, and distant from Washin gton and Alexandria
| between five and six miles. The attendance was
| numerous, consisting Of host of lovely women and
several hundreds Of the gallant Whigs of that and

between II and II o'cock-Mr. Francis Smith, of

great principles of free government held by the
Wing party, Of which "OId Chippewa" is now pre-

State Legislature, and others all Of whom were
