Senator NIerixcther again.

We learn frola the Louisville Journal that
the short. term Senator from Kentucky having
experienced nothing but discontinue from his
previous attack upon General ScoTT, now seeks
TO win renown in another direction. In Con-
gress he assailed General ScorT's pay and al
lowances; now he impugns General ScorT's
courage.
Our Louisville contemporary reports that in
a speech at Shepherdsville (Ky.) Mr.. MERI-
wErHER "asserted that General Scorr tainted
at Chippewa. This is a new cAarpe.' the
Journal adds, (which the honorable ex-senator
has not seen proper to make anywhere else"
We think that before again assaiIing the
Wing candidate, Mr.. MSRrwErHER should
have explained the ugly transaction which
stands recorded in the books Of the treasury
in connexion with his own name. General
ScoTr's prowess az a soldier is not in contro.
versy; it is conceded by the sensible OF ais
enemies. Mr.. MERwETHER's mileage, on
the other hand, continues unexplained, much
10 his own discredit as a Senatorial guardian
of the peoples purse.

The Administration and the Crescent city
Affair.


Affair.
We publish the following telegraphic de-
spatch, just received from New Orleans, to
show the wanton and mischievous falsehoods
which find their way through the press and
telegraph at this time. The object is transpa
rent. 1t is to mislead and inflame the public
mind, and by wanton misrepresentation affect
the election now near at hand:
"NEw ORLEANS, October 90
"Under the glaring caption of the United
States and Spain-Our Flag Hauled Down-The
Fillmore Administration Backed OUT with the
usual disgraceful editorial comments, the Courier
Of this morning publishes the following despatch:
"'HNs. Emile La Sere: Lieutenant Porter has
been summoned to w Washington to explain his con-
duct at Havana. The -result ia that the Cresc ent
City goes no more to Havana-the Georgia, under
Lieutenant Porter, being substituted. This yields
the point rs to Smith, and is regarded as backing
out OF our Government. The charge was made in
the Union OF yesterday, and not denied by the h,
feaigencer or Republic Of to-day
(Sgned) "'A G. PENN,
".JNO. w. FORNEY.'
This has evidently been concocted for the po-
ltica effect it is supposed it would produce here"
We have the best authority for saying that
the Cabinet at Washington has taken. firm and
strong ground in opposition to the treatment of
the Crescent City by the Captain General of
Cuba, and have no doubt tina, it will be follow
ed by speedy red!ess of the wrong complain
ed of.
There will be no ..backng out" on the part
OF the Administration. The rights and honor
of the country will be duly maintained, and vim
dicated. =
Lieutenant PORTER was ordered to this city
for the purpose only OF giving full information
to the Government, and at his own request has
been transferred by the owners to the Georgia
and will return in her to Havana.

that we shall triumph by handsome majority.
Our meetings and barbecues are most num- rousIy

from them Colonel J. s. Hamilton, who was their

always been thoroughgoing Democrat. He says
he is yet; but that this time he will vote for Gen
eral ScorT, whom he knows to be AN honest man
and patriot He served with him in the last war

The Democratic Organ Oh MIR. Webster's
Death.

The leading editorial of yesterdays Union
asserts that the death of Mr.. WEBSTER "was
the signal for the unconcealed and almost
public fluctuations of the friends of SCOTT at
the national capital'
We are unwilling to cucumber controversy
with phrases which smack of personal discour-
tesy, but statement of this character renders
plain and direct speaking indispensable. We
pronounce the statement an unfounded and
atrocious calumny, concocted for political effect
In distant parts of the country, and published
with full knowledge of its character and de-
sign. 1t Is an untruth SO glazing that there can
be no apology for its author, who, if not blind
ed by partisan malign,y, must have known
when he penned it that he was pennng libel
upon the character of the citizens of Washing
ton and of the Wing party everywhere.
Every reader Of the Union in this city
knows that the statement we quote is without
a shadow of justification. In no city could
the news of MIR. WEBsrER's death have been
received with stronger or more general indica-
tons of sorrow than in Washington, particu-
larly among every portion of the Wing party.
The sad tidings cast gloom over the commu-
nifty on Sunday, and at the earliest available
moment on Monday arrangements were made
for giving expressions to the public feeling
upon the subject. We would fain hope that
this regret at the calamity which had befallen
the nation was not, and is not, confined within
the limits of party. Men of all parties felt
that their country had sustained bereavement;
and no man having character to lose will
venture to affirm that this feeling has not been
shared and manifested to the full extent by the
party which for so long period recognised
Mr.. WEBSTER as one of its most distinguished
ornaments.
We have reason to believe that the managers
of the Democratic organization in this city have
telegraphed to the North and South state
ment similar in substance to that of the Union;
the object being to ALLEVIATE Mr.. WEBsTER's
friends from the Wing ranks, and 50 to promote
General PIERCE's interests. 1t is difficult to
characterize in fitting terms the course of the
Union or of its political allies in this matter. 1t
is the climax of partisan Infamy, and, while in
dicatng the absence of all self-respect on the |
part OF Its authors. stamps as hopeless the pros.
poets of the party which can descend to 81 base
a trick for the advancement of elec,oneering |
ends.
The Union has already acquired prominence
amongst the press as a bold, inscriptions
libeller of living men. AS a sanderer of the
dead y we trust and believe that it will be with
out rival.

+ Maiorities.

This statement, if correct, elects the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor by majority of
lag votes, and Mr.. CABELL, the Wing candi-
date for Congress, by majority of q votes; but
it is believed the official returns will show his
majority is between 80 and 40 votes.
When it is recollected that General TAY
LoR's vote in 1913 was several hundred more
than that of Mr.. Cabell or any other Wing
candidate in ls4S or 1852, it will be perceived
that the recent vote is no indication of the re-
suit in November.
A statement of the aggregate vote of Florida
circulating in the papers, and credited to the
Savannah Georgian of the 23d inst, we have
good reasons for believing, is entitled to no
credit.

The "Union" and the Campbell Forgery.
The editor Of the Lebanon (Ohio) Star final
ly disposes of the forgery to which the Union
has chung with such discreditabIe pertinacity.
When MIR. LEWIS ID. CAMPBELL awaited
himself of the telegraph to contradict the state
ment which the Union had imputed to him,
that journal insnuated that the contradiction
might be fictitious, and that at any rate it was
worth little because at variance with letter
alleged to have been written by Mr.. CAMP
BELL and published in the Lebanon Star. Mr..
CAMPBELL's second contradiction, received by
mail, left no room to doubt his position, or to
suppose that the sentiment cited by the Union
was not forgery, whether copied or original.
The editor of the Star, whom the Union
hoped to make the scapegoat, now appears in
print, denying that the paragraph quoted by
the Union as from the Star ever appeared in
its columns, and charging the Union, OF its
friends, with poating-in other terms,
with forging-t for party purposes. The ma
neuvre is thus fastened upon the central organ
in manner that admits of no denial. We do
not envy the position into which it has been
plunged by its course in this matter.
Our contemporary has not ventured to notice
the accusation that the odium which it has in
etfectually endeavored TO attach to Mr.. LEWIS
CAMPBELL, Wing, really belongs to Mr..
THOMPSON CAMPBELL, a PIERCE and KING
Democrat, who has pledged himself to vote for
the repeal of the Fugitive Slave law.

General Pierce's Disregard OF Electoral
Purity.

Our statement of General PIERcE's conduct
while in the House of Representatives, in re-
ference to the conduct of rascally sheriff in
Kentucky, receives the endorsement of the
Louisville Journal, which enjoys the advantage
of an intimate acquaintance with all the details
of the affair. After quoting our outline of the
case, the Journal remarks:
1.-The matter came before the United States
House OF Representatives. The only question be.
fore that body was whether theft, perpetrated by
county officer, whether the stealing of poll
book by sheriff for partisan purposes. the vote
of the county being known, should be held as dis.
franchising the people of the county. 1t was a
question whether, after the freemen of district
had fairly elected man to Congress according to
all the forms of law, petty officer should have
the power, through the commission of an act of
theft to give the seat in Congress to the opponent
Of the man elected-to the individual rejected by
the people.
Zone would think that, upon such q question,
there could be difference of opinion among
men decently honest. But in all the divisions in
the House of Representatives upon the question
during its tendency in that body, Franklin Pierce,
the records show, voted TO sustain the act of the
thieving and fugitive sherif-voted in favor of let
ting the theft of that officer give the seat in Con-
gress to the Democratic candidate in defiance of
the known and notorious vote of the people of the
districtin favor Of the Wing candidate. Franklin
Pierce was in favor of establishing a precedent
which should empower officer of the polls to dis
franchise the whole people of district by an act
of downright rascality.
General Pierce regarded the act of the Lincoln
sheriff with appreciation, and was for permitting
1t to be crowned with perfect success. On the
contrary, the two houses of the Kentucky Legisla.
ture, at their next session, promptly and with
great unanimity passed law providing that
crimes like that perpetrated by the sheriff in ques.
ton should be punishable by confinement at hard
labor for term of years in the pententiary.
General Pierce's views nd those of the Kentucky
Legislature appear to have been very wide apart,
and the fact is very discreditabIe either to General
Pierce or to the Kentucky Legislature"
