ola NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Extracts,

Old DOcuments--ChOic Extracts.
We commence to-day the publication of
some choice extracts from the files Of the
Ohio Eagle, which Will doubtless prove high |
ly interesting to the readers of that paper,
and shall continue them from time to time
as our space permits.
From the Chic Eagle, June /, lS4S.
The London Times, the rankest tory
print out OF New England, recommends the
American federal party to take up General
Scott for President.
Aftera recommendation from so high and
influential source, we expect the event will
follow.
That was doubtless miserable faisrhood,
us this same paper thinks that Gen. Pierce OF
New England is the proper man for the Pres
idency, ardently hopes for his election and
SAYS that he will provea 'VALUABLE
PRACTICALALLY" of Great ritain.
Itdon't like Scott at oil.
From the Ohio Eagle, June %, ls4S.
BRowNLow ON GEN. TAYLoR.-Brownlow
the celebrated whig preacher and partizan
of Tennessee, and editor of the Jonesboro'
Whig, has the following proclamation of his
own purposes towards Gen. Taylor:
"IfGen. Taylor is nominated for the Pres
idency by all the conventions that can meet
in this life, and fhe is the last and only can
didate the wings have between this time and
the day of judgment, we will not support
him or vote for him."
The Franklin Review, of the same State,
says tn at this declaration Of Brownlow sex
presses the determination of u large portion
Of East Tennessee whigs."
The above is a sample of any quantity Of
the same kind of stuff, notwithstanding
which Gen. Taylor was elected. The same
paper is now quoting similar paragraphs, bu'
can't find one hundredth part as many, ant
with them expects to beat Gen. Scott. Par
son Brownlow's influence don't extend fa'
out of his own Office.
From the Ohio Eagle, August 81, lS4s.
The Gazette charges:
"That Gen. Cass is opposed to River ant
Harbor improvements"
Utterly and unqualifedly false.
The Eagle then quotes several votes o
Gen. Cass, which proved nothing as to hi
general position, but Gen. Pierce voted a
gainst these same kind of appropriations cit
ed in favor of General Cass. Now, has the
Eagle changed its position! Or, has Gen
Pierce changed his! Answer this, ye pre-
tended friends of consistency!
From the Ohio Eagle, June l, ls4s.
Resolved, That the officers and soldiers wh'
have carried the arms of their country int
Mexico, have crowned it with imperishabl'
glory. Their unconquerable courage, thei
daring enterprise, their unfaltering perse
verance and fortitnde when assailed on al
sides BY innumerable foes, and that NOR
formidable enemy--the disease Of the eli
mate-exalt their devoted patriotism into th'
hiqhest heroism, and give them right to th'
profound gratitude of their country and thu
admiration of the world.
The above is COPY Of resolution passes
by the Democratic National Convention o
1913. We have richer specimens for the "a
turc.
a PIERCE ORATOR in Michigan was ruth
or bothered by the rudensss Of some Wing
