The Rockville Journal makes the fol.
lowing appropriate appeal to the Wings
of Montgomery We reprint it and
urge it on the attention Of the Wings OF
Cecil.
Are you ready-,re you determined
to do your duty Long, long have We
cherished and nobly sustained the W his
cause in Maryland. Never, in Pre,i-
DENTAL contest, have we been defeated .
This has been our boast; this has been
our proud position. What Wing heart
does not swell with JOY when he dwelIs
upon the associations, the fond, the de-
lightful "reminiscences Of past years 3
What Wing bosom does not throb with
the livelest emotions when the shouts
of victory, which Tung and sweIled:
throughout the nation n lSlO-'iS are,
remembered
Whlgs of Maryland, another, a most
brilliant victory awaits you in 52!-l
From Maine to California Wing hearts
are joned-Whig hands are nnited--.
Wing fires are burning " his enthnsi-
asm is aroused! The CRY is onward -
The shout is for SCOTT, GRAHAMs
and VICTORY! Wings Of Mary lands
let your voices beheard; let your shouts
answer back the prals which reach youJ
from your sister States. The eyes oii
the country are upon you. The brag-
cling and betting Of or opponrnts,s
though well understood at home, m@ys
strike dismay into the hearts Oh the III
wary and uniformed. |
No sane man doubts that Maryland ist

ABASE FORGERY
Nailed to the Counter.

q 1--WE have received by mail, d.
Erect from Mr.. Campbell, copy of the
efollowing letter TO the National lntelli-
Egencer.
M We hope voters will take notice Of,
Eand properly appreciate the villainous
Emeans resorted too TO defeat Gen. Scott.
Ealen who resort to such system Of for
Egeries and lies, deserve to have their
Hcandidate beaten, for that, if for no other
Ereason.
Mo The Editors of he National InteHigencer:
n A friend of mine has Just sent me the
HWa shngton Union of the 18th instant,
Econtainng most infamous editorial
Eheaded General Scott ard the Adolf
Etionists-The Wing candidate for the
Erepeal of the Fugitive Slave Law
EThis article attempts to prove that Gen
Neral Scott is an Abolitionist. The edl-
Etor says:
b "By the position and unequivocal de-
declaration OF a Wing member o! Con-
Egress, who stands high in the confidence
Eof his party, and gives the w hlg candi-
Edate cordial support, we will show
Ethat General Scott is in favor of the re-
EpeaI Of the Fugitive Slave bill, anGI that
+ lie would, if elected President, sign "A
{; law for It's repeal"
l. To prove this assertion the Union
Eadds:
& ION the 2Oth of July, 1852, the Hon.
ELewis d. Campbell addressed from
EW ashingtcn ci-y a circular to his con-
I stiturnls which was published in the
ELrbanon Star, an abolition Scott paper.
Fl'rom This circular we take an extract,

Eto be with me on the subject Of slavery:

Pennsylvania.


The Wing Central Committee ot'
Pennsylvania have issued an address
from which We take the following ex
tracts. The Wings Of that State conf /
IDENTIFY expect to carry it for Scot. /
"In l&.S, the Wings lost their Canal
Commissioner, although it was Coy!
ernor's elec;ion," and although the.
candidate for Governor by the mos
strenuous personal r.iort had brought OF, !
a large vote, and been himself elected I
Though Ut the potts they seemed to care I,
so little for the Office, they permitted
Mr.. MiddleSwarth, one of the best ana
ablrst men in the State, to be heatc,l !.

Gen. Taylor carried TIE E ectoral vol 4

Two-thirdS Of these may be safely St /

this who understands the politics OF
Pennsylvania. There is no danger a>8
long as the Locofoco vote does not inh

And this alone Will enable us to oyer-S

our adversaries, independent OF o:Gerb
considerations. I,
But there are other considerations Il
In PENNSYLVANIA there are thousands off.
Democrats VINO never in their lives voted y
Wing ticket, and perhaps never why
again, that will support General Scott, i
openly and vigorously, and still oth+rsh
who will uphold him secretly. Taesek
voting "of and on" count doubts. Gen 4
Scott is many thousands stronger than I,
his party. His high and untarnisheds
character, his long services and glorious: b
career, are irresistible claims with his 4
countrymen. No matter what party q
they belong to, they will not sulEer hinS
to be set aside. Is
In nine counties Of the Stata We CAM
rely with certainty on a gain of l3,OO0;M
and in twenty counties, (including these &
nIneO sufficient gain to overcome thpia
whole Locoioco majority for Judge andG
Canal Commissioners. On the otherG
hand, we confidently predict that theres3
are not eight counties where our Loco 4
foco friends will be uhle to gain on us, Il
or even to hold their own. In all thei
Others we shall either increase our ownH
Or diminish theirs, and in some of lhc!aA
very largely. |;
In Allegheny, Luzerne, Dauphin, IN n
ion, Lancaster, and many others, localI
warfare contributed to our heavy losses. n
Our friends abroad may rely they wilia
glorlously vindicate themselves on the 4
second Of November. Il
A full vote is always Wing victory u
and a tull vote we are determined itI
shall be. Pennsylvania will be true tod

HOBBS AND CHUBB AGAIN.

The London correspondent of the U
). Gazette says:-
''The directors of well known in
surance office in Moorgate street, ha(
assembled at their rooms last week tc
hold an important meeting. When the
books and papers Of the company Were
called tor, the secretary could not find
the key Of the large vault where they
We're kept. After an unsuccessful search
| Mr.. Chubb, the maker of the large iron
door and lock was sent for, and was ask
ed if he had key that would open the
lock. He replied in the negative. He
was then asked if he could pick the lock.
He again replied in the negative, and
rather Indignantly withal, at the insinu-
alton that his celebrated locks could be
picked The directors asked what was
TO be donel Mr.. Chubb answered that
the only method by which the books
and papers could be procured was to
cut the door down. The directors
would not consent to such proposition
and Mr. Chub5 left the premises 4
messenger was dispatched to Cheapsde
for the American, Hobbs, who sent one
Of his workmen, with instructions to
take an impression in wax Of the key
hole OF the lock. The man departed,
and in few minutes returned with the
impression. Mr.. Hobbs then selected
few simple instruments, and accom-
panied his workman to the insurance
Office. After operating on Chubb's lock
ten minutes only, the bolt was turned,
the door was opened, and all the books
and papers were placed before the
Board of Directors, and to their utter
astonishmentw
ANOTHER FAILURE.-The Locofocos
advertised meeting at the Trappe on
Saturday last, but it did mt come of.
There was no audience, and no one to
speak if an audience had been there
This is a very good evidence Of the
Pierce feeling in this county. The
failure al Oxford on Friday, is ascribed
to the rain on Thursday! There was a
HAig meeting at Centreville on Thurs
day, and notwithstanding thaerain OF
Mut dag, thee hundred people sat down
to the dinner provided on that occasion

A DisTREssiNG CAsE.-It is truly lamentable to
sec how the Locofocos take on, because the Wings
have been cruel and hardhearted as to pass by
80 great, distinguished, and patriotic man as DAN
iel w ebster, and bestow their nomination on such
an unknown aud Insignificant pedagogue as Gen.
eral Scott. They have all at once found out that
Webster is decidedly the best man in the nation;
and they are struck, not quite dumb, but quite
garruiousi the base ingratitudc of the Wing party
in passing by him, and neglecting to make him
President OF these United States before he dies.
All this is such sheer humbuggery, such palpa-
bic, shallow hypocrisy, that nobody is deceived by
il but the scamps that hoped to makea fuss by the
trick. The Wing party has ever honored and re-
spected Mr.. Webster That respect he has TO day
as strongly as ever. But like the great. the la.
mented Clay, he has vindictive, mean, and bigotod
personal enemies, that delight TO poison the public
against him. He not considered available
as General Scott, and hence he was not nomi
mated. If he had been, these same whining SYM
pathizers would have been the first to raise the
howl OF opposition, and would have gloatcd over
all the stale, exploded and ridiculous ISLANDERS that
have been hcaped upon him for years, and with
forty. hyena power worked for his destruction
