warm strain Greeley portrays the tricks that 4

Withstand hcirdssaults: .s14s

voters In the UDion whom nothing short OF a
Presidential contest can bring TO the polls
: We regret the fact. aud they ought TO be
ashamed ofit-bdt il is a fact, nevertheless
OF these voters, uinc-teuths are Whigs-
:. The only way TO bent Gen. Scott isto per-
ses,ade them I'll ,t.their Vetcs can avail moth
ing this fall, and to persuade opr 1--we Wings
that it is fruitless to make the necessary ef-
fort TO bring them out. Ifthis impression
.,can be edifFased, and Whis apathy shall open
the way to the polling Of Illegal votesin in the
strong Pierce districts, they may beat US
And this is what they are now working
for. ..gfF
8 IEhiqs, Stand Firm They who shout
over the loss of hulftheir usual majority,bplfl
their Congressional delegation, aud more
than halt their Legislative majority in Iowa,
and who are delighted with the choice Of
only two Wings TO Congress from Missouri,
where we carried NONE in the Taylor year,
win, of course, find pretext for shouting in
nearly every election between this and No
yember. They viii add together the Rum
votes for Chandler, and the Wing Temper
ance votes for Hubbard in Maine, and show
"A vast majority against us in hatfState; and
so, doubtless, with regard to the State cleo
tions in Maryland, Indiana, &c, where they
have extraordinary elements of strength in
the State contests. In each Of these States
there are thousands who will vote for Scott,
who cannot be counted on TO vote the Wing
local ticket in October Our adversaries Of
coursewill shout-Iet them shout! They will
profess and dcherish strong desire TO bet--let
them. seek gamblers among those to whom
gambling is congenial They will hold great
meetings and fire cannon--let them incur
the expense; the noise will wake up our
votes as we'll as theirs. Let US go straight
along, putting facts and documentsinto ey-
cry ones hands, quietly organizing and pre-
pairing to bring out the legal voters and keep
out illegal votes and we shall silence their
Dragging effsctually on the I'd Of November.
Then ne can shout and cxult, and fire can
non, if we have taste for such umusementsi
but let us. postpone our playing till oul
WORK is done We may then cheer with I
good conscience, and without fear Of wax
ing up the wrong passenger. Putout the
documents and push on the organization
now. Leave huzzaing tillthe proper time
The Chinese warfare OF our antagonists will
alarm none but very timid children, and need
not terrify even them. Old Chippewa has
faced a heavier fire on many n field, and
never though ofquailing; let his friends prof

RIVERS AND HARBoEs.- lin 1913, the Ea
gle contended, with Gem Cnss for its leader
that Locofocoism was not opposed to thu
improvement Of Western Rivers and Har
bors. How is it nowl In January last
Gen. Pierce made speecbin Bradford, N
H., from which we take the following OK
tract , .....,, y.
"General Pierce followed Mr.. Morrison
giving great prominence to this question:
He endorsed the remarks of Mr.. NJ. respect
ing it, and said, in substance, that appropr
ations by the Federal Government for tn
Improvement of rivers and harbors was Of
purely Federal character, and repugnant |
the principles and practices Of the Democr,
cy ofthis State; aud that Messrs Hale an
Tuck were Justly obnoxious to the charge
Federal symphthies for having supporte
such measures. He pointedly affirmed thI
no person elected to Congress as n Dem,
crat from this State had ever supportG
measures for these purposes. He put ii
question to the audience if this were not s
and paused for reply, which was given
the Affirmative by some person near th
speaker's stand. He then reafiirmed tn
position he had taken, and proceeded wit
his address,"
These Eastern Locoiocos can vote for a
appropriation to Collins line OF Atlant
Steamers, but when it comes to improving
Western harbor or removing a snag or sant
bar from Western river, for the conyen
fence and safety of our Western commerce
shey are deadly opposed. Such improve
mcnts are repugnant to the principles an
practices Of New Hampshire Democracy.
will soon be discovered that such men ar
repugnunt to the people of tho West, VIII
cannot see the difference between fostering
foreign and inland confhcrce. They ar
not able TO appreciate the constitutionali,

sltutlonality of the fresh-water argument.
