A SHARP Rcbnke.

y The New York Courier, which was oppos-
sd TO the nomination Of Gen. Scott by the
Wing party, but finally yielded to his sup
port, after the nomination was effected, is
little respondent now, on looking over the
field and canvassing his chances. Among
other causes operating to his disadvantage,
in the opinion of the Courier, are the -tactics
employed by the Whig partizans in traduc-
ing the character of G.n. Pierce-the relig-
ious test libel-the Abolition columny--the
face-slapping fabrication. But we will let
the Courier be heard in its own language:
"lf anything can elect him, (Gen, Pierce)
it must be the conviction in the minds Of
the American people, that the Wings coun-'
tenance the disgaceful impuiations upon
his personal courage which certain unscrupu-
lous politicians have circulated against him,
aud whiah no honest and intelligent Whig
for moment credits. The very men who
manufactured and continue TO circulate this
infamous sander do not believe it; and Gen.
Scott himself, not only repudiates il as dis
reputable to the Wing cause and to our coun-
try but has voluntarily borne testimony to
the good conducg and high bearing Of Gen.
Pierce,in Nexico.' s. r-o

The Result of Faction.

The Wig papers, finding nothing else to
rejoice over, have been shouting about the
election Of Campbell, Harrison and Sapp to
Congress. Every one Of these gentlemen
was elected by disafftction in the democratic
ranks. Holt, who felt aggrieved at not re-
ceiving the nomination instead Of Vallan-
bingham, cast his influence for Campbell,
who also received the Abolition vote. Har-
rison was elected by the Anti-Miamas, Mr..
Roll, the Democratic candidate, having been
connected with the Society called the Miami
Tribe. Those democrats who opposed the
latter on that ground are now working nobly
for Pierce and King. Sapp, the other wbig
congressman, was elected by the democrats
having two candidates, DR.. Winnell and
Rev. ]. D. Rich. In Knox county, Winnell
got 900 majority and about 300 in Holiness
hut Tus, and Coshocton went against
him. Sapp was elected by about 400 ma
jorty. Great whig victories, these.

\ Problem for che Whig Soup Club.

Ifa democratic majority Of $4,000 in Penn
sylvanla. 10000 in Ohio and l8 900 in lndi-
ana, give the Scottltes "great reason TO feel
encouraged" how much Of majority would
the democracy have TO obtain to elect Scott
TO the Presidency? The people.ate anxious
10 have this matter decided, so we hope the
Club will answer the question as soon as
possible.
We have another important one to which
we hope the Club will give due attention:
Ifo democratic majority of 10000 insures
Ohio for the wings, how much Of a whig
najority would result in giving the State to
the democrats?
Gentlemen, as your soup bowl is turned
upside down already, you can figure tina
question out on its bottom.

whig Bigotry in North Carolina.

The wings have charged it as an offense
against FRANKLIN PIERCE, that he had the
misfortune to be born in State where cath
o!ics were prohibited by the fundamental
law, from holding certain Offices. 1t has
made no difference with them that General
Pierce exerted bimself TO get this odious pro-
vision of the Constitution repealed, they
still insist that be is responsible.
Bu, they are all willing, and appeal TO
Catholics 10 vote for VIM. A. Graham, the
whis candidate for Vice President who lives
in North Carolina, the Constitution OF which
State, Section 80 says;
mo person who shall deny the being ofa
God or the truth Of the PROTESTANT RELIC.
ION, OR THE DIVINE AUTHORITY OF EITHER
THE OLD OR THE New TESTAMENT, or who
shall hold religious principles incompatible
with the freedom and safety Of the State,
SHALL BE CAPABLE OF HOLDING
ANY OFFICE OR PLACE OF TRUST OR
PROFIT IN THE CIVIL DEPARTMENT
WITHIN HESTATE."
II win be seen that the constitution Of the
Whig State of North Carolina prohibits moi
only Catholics put Jews from holding any
office, or place Of trust, in the civil admins
tration Of the government, no matter now

as ssincomp patible with the freedom and safe

Its intolerance and bigotry than the constitu.
ton of New Hampahire, which allows cath
olics to hold some Of the most important Of

them ineligible for few positions.
There is no evidence 10 show that Mr.
, Graha N, the Whig candidate for Vice Presi

The Next Congress.

The glorious results in Ohio, Pennsylva-
MIA and Indiana, have rendered il certain that
the Democracy will have large and tri-
umphant majority in the next House Of Rep
resentatives. President PIERcE will be
most nobly sustained by having Congress
elected that agrees with him in political sem
,iment, and that will be in favor Of carving
out the reforms which the people expect Of
the new Administration. Let Democrats
every where rejoice, for the reign Of the Gal
ph;ns" will terminate on the 4lh of March
next. They will be ignominiously driven
from the seuts Of power they have disgraced.
They will be branded with the popular con-
demnaiion. They will have a severe ac-
count to render TO the peoples representa-
tiyes when they next assemble at Washing
ton. The Congressional results in the States
that have held elections thus far, stand as
follows; and it is most glorious table fol

Scott withdrawn

The wings have been circulating the story
that John P. Hale, the candidate of the free
soilers, had withdrawn from the Presidential
canvass. That was before the State elections
Since then it has been ascertained that Gen.
Scott's vote will be SO meagre that il might
as well be given TO Mr.. Hale. and we learn
that Free SoIer in this city has received a
telegraphic dispatch stating that Scott had
Withdrawn from the canvass and recon-
me nded his friends TO go for Hale. Well,
the General once said that he was too "old a
soldier to expose himself 10 fire in the
rear" and he is, in Withdrawing, only Car
rying out the idea suggested by his military
experience" The free soilers hereabouts are
taking great peins TO let their whig friends
understand the matter, SO that everything
will be right side up on the election day.

All but That!

The wings are very busily engaged in cir
culating story to the effect that Mr.. Hale
has withdrawn from the Canvass. This
falsehood is designed to operate in the Free
Soil ranks By inducing them as their condi-
date has left them in the suds, to vote for the
next best abolitionist, Gen. Scott. They
seem 10 regard Free Soilers, as well as those
whom the Louisville Journal and other whip
papers used to term the "ignorant and de.
bauched foreigners" as proper subjects tc
