Democrats Rallying under a British Flag
The Wilmington (Delaware) Journal in
forms us that at Democratic "mass meeting
was held there on the I'd inst, the British ma
tional flag floated over the platform on which
the speakers stood! And under that flag
Democratic orator is reported to have denounc-
ed Gen. Scott as a coward and thief!
The Democratic party is entitled to all the
benefit that can accrue from general know
ledge of these facts. They bring together two
of the Distinguishing features of Democratic
organization in the canvass, and appropriately
symbolic the influences that are at work to
promote the election of the Democratic nomi-
nee. 1t is proper that party which is hailed
by Britain and her colonies as peculiarly favor
able to British interests should display the
British flag wherever Democratic machinery is
in motion It is natural that the men who are
not ashamed to rally under foreign flag at an
American meeting, called to discuss American
politics, should be bold enough to heap epithets
on the name of General Scott British in
trgnes, and mayhap British gold, deserve some
acknowledgements; and the Delaware Demo-
Gratis have only played candid part in hosting
the British flag, and in outraging the character
of one whose earlier glory is associated with
the humiliation of that flag upon the American
continent. ...
The American people will readily compre-
hend the whole affair." r.-Republc, 7th inst.

PEA4UEMENE i:
Saturday, October %, 1852.

UThe New Hampshire papers bear ample
testimony to the high character of the Rev
Mr.. Foss, who reported the speech of General
Pierce at New Boston, and which he now re-
pudiates, notwithstanding the oath of this gen.
teman, as well as the oaths of many other
persons in support Of that report. Mr.. Foss
has been Secretary of the Boston Tract Socie-
ty eight years, Trustee of the Baptist Theo-
logical Institution in New Hampshire, and is a
life member of the New Hampshire Baptist
Convention. These are existing and indispu-
table facts. But the Gazette makes him out
a most abominable mana faIsifer. and every
thing that is degrading-because he had the
misfortune to report the speech of a man
(made among crowd of aboitionists whose
favor he wished to gain) who, several months
afterwards, to the surprise of everybody, was
nominated for the Presidency, and because said
speech, or the declarations contained in it., are
playing the very deuce with his prospects in
the South.
Now, this conclusion must be arrived at by
all honorable and common sense men, If the
Gazette is right, and notwithstanding the cha
racter it imputes to Mr.. Foss, he is promoted
to high positions, the people of New Hamp-
shire must be very low and bad people and
if for no other reason, this should cause US to
think little before we give our vote to any
one of them for the highest office in the word.
But no-the Gazette is wrong, altogether
wrong. Mr.. Foss's character as a man of truth
has been proven beyond dispute His report of
Pierces speech has been substantiated beyond
dispute. And for the good it has done US, we
are sincerely glad that the Gazette has persisted
to the last in denouncing a most clear and in
controvertible truth, and which must continue
to appear more glarng as renewed vituperation
is heaped uponit.

GA bad precedent is set by the Special
Committees of Congress on the Gardiner
claim Sam Houston, as the leader in the pro
secuton for corruption, is making stump
speeches for Pierce and King all through the
West and South West. Senator Soule, as the
chairman of a special committee, is stumping
it all through the East and North East. OF
the House special committee, Preston King
and Andrew Johnson are attending to the eec-
tion. These gentlemen are the appointed min
listers to set upon the public charges of corrup-
ton. They are the recipients of the public
money while discharging mere party duties,
and while assauting and eliminating the
measures of the Administration and their poll
tical opponents. They get eight dollars day
for libeling Wing men and Wing measures and
it is but right that the people should know and
appreciate such disinterested counsellors.-N

from said book

GTAn eccentric English miser, named Nield,
lately bequeathed his whole estate, estimated
at f5oo,ooo sterling, nearly three millions of
dollars, to Queen Victoria "for her own abso-
lutte use and benefit, and for her heirs &c. 1t
appears that the testator had no near kin, or
expectants who had claim on his affections,
and therefore, the Queen may take without any
conscientious misgivings of wrongs to natural
hers but the London Daily News argues that
by the acts of settlement, the Queen can only
take it as trustee for the public. So the testa-
tors desire to confer personal fortune upon
the Queen will be defeated after all.

"How many men have been denounced to

the last ten, twelve and eighteen months, by
the very men who now hail Mr.. Pierce as the
embodiment of all that is sound! Last year,

The arguments of the Ercning Post for the

something of the same dangerous power. Used
on Ohio and New York, they help the Free Soil

"A correspondent gives an account of the
execution of fiftv-three criminals at Canton on
the lst of May. After describing the prepar-
ations, he says they were all made to kneel in
a row, and three executioners with sharp
swords, commenced chopping their heads off
with very little ceremony, using both hands
and never giving more than one blow, man
attending behind holding the arms up, causing
the neck to be in proper position. When
the head rolled in the mud, this party gave the
body a push or kick to throw it on the
ground from kneeling position. Fresh swords
were used after every three or four cuts were
made, and the whole affair could not have lasted
more than two minutes.
