BURLINGTON FREE PRESS, FKIDAY MORNING;

PIE could be left to their deliberate judgment
between General Scorr and Gen. PIERCE, the
latter distinguished fighting character" would
not receive solitary electoral vote out of New
Hampshire. AS it is, we do not believe he
will receive the vote of more than twelve OF
the thirty -one States of the Union. We may
be mistaken, but our opinion is based upon our
respect for the intelligence and patriotism of
the people, quite as much as upon what we con-
celve to be the unerrng popular Indications

The PEOPLE read and understand that the Lon.
