LETTER OF GEO. WITHERELL.
A resident ofSouth Bend, Indiana,
recently received the following letter
from Mr.. George WithereIl. an ac
tive Democrat who resides in CIevs.
land, in answer to al inquiry il it
was true that he had resolved to sup
port Scott. We find the letter. in
the St. Josephs Valley Register,
which ispublished at South Bend:
CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 9, sd.
DEAR SIR:-The statement 10
which you refer is correct. | am a
Scott man, and have always hereto
fore been an uncompromising Demo-
crat. Such am | now, but when the
Democrat party, forgetting those
principles which should guide it, ar
rays itself against the best interests
of our country, | do not feel myself
bound by its action.
] support Scott because he is the
representative of the great principles,
which are Democratic, namely: Gov
ernment appropriation for Internal
Improvements; a Tariff for revenue,
affording Protection to American in
dustry, and obedience to all the COM
Pacts of the Constitution, but oppo-
sition 10 the extension Of slavery in
10 free territories.
Upon ALL these questions | find
Gen. Pierce wrong upon the record;
and by his votes always opposing
protection TO the Mariner, the Me-
chanic and the Farmer: and the
rights of Petition and Of Freedom.
For these reasons support Win
field Scott, and with a score of neigh
bors and friends, heretofore active,
working Democrats, shall do all in
my power for the election of that
well-iried patriot to the Presidency
in November.
You are at liberty TO use this letter
as you think best, and believe me, in
the support Of Old Chippewa,
Truly yours,
GEO. WITHERELL.

What il each drop Of rain should plead:
$50 small a thing as
Can meier refresh the thirsty mead;
I'li tarry in the sky.S
What il the shining beam of noon,
Should in its fountain stay,
Because its feeble light alone
Cannot create day?
Does not each rsIn.drop help to form
The cool, refreshing shower7
And every ray of light TO warm
And beautIfy the flower?
Here, careless Whig, you have a
capital illustration of the importance
OF one vote. How common a thing
il is to hear men say, "Well-if l
thought my vote would decide the
election, | would 60 and cast it,
But it will make no difference. il
would not change the result" This
is all wrong. Every vote changes
the result. Every other mans vote
in the county is Just like your own
has the same weight and no more;
and every other man might with the
same propriety withhold his vote as
you yours. Go to the polls, then,
and vote, and contribute to the
moral effect Of a full expression of
the popular will, as well as the ma
jority we hope to have for our ticket.
Remember the recent election in

The last negro melody, is on

ly in everybody's mouth. Pianos
and guitars groan with it, night and
day; sentimental young ladies sing
it; sentimental young gentlemen
warbIe it in midnight serenades;
volatile young "bucks" hum it in the
midst of their business and pleasure;
boatmen roar it out stent0rinally at
all hours and at all times; all the

agonize over il at every spare mo-
ment; the street organs grind it out
at every corner; the "singing stars"
carol it on the theatrical boards and
at concerts; the ehamber-maid sweeps
and dusts to the measured cadence
OF "Old Folks at Home;" the butch
er's boy treats you TO a strain or
two Of it as he hands in the steaks
for dinner; the milk man mixes It up
strangely with the harsh ding ding
accompaniment OF his tireless bell;
there is not a "live darky," young or

accents of many oil your Irish and
German citizens, whose countrymen
fought so bravely on the plains Of

essential services TO their adopted
country. In the field they mani

and a manly bravery which could
have been surpassed by no other
people but our own. | always saw

praise. [Cheers.
My countrymen, | have, within
the sound OF my voice many besides
those who rank themselves with the
Wing party of this nation.

Gratis.
Gen. Scott. am glad to meet
you. You have met TO do some
little honor 10 an old soldier who
has spent a long life in the service OF
his country; for this honor, however
little deserved, thank you-it will
be cherished among my most pre-
cious recollections.
Fellow-citizens, you could not
hear all Of the able address Of Judge
Johnson. Pardon in me the seeming
egotism Of alluding to portion OF
his speech. Your speaker alluded to
that critical hour in our history
when Hull had ingloriously sur
rendered, and the blackest clouds
hung threatening in the horizon Of
our beloved country. Ii was then
that | called around me men that
could be trusted, and told them the
hour was come for a decisive blow
that a work must be done on that
Canada frontier that would lift the
hearts Of the American people from
the gloom Of recent events, and
enable them and their children to
ring bells, TO fire cannons, and build
bon-fires, in commemOration o &
American victories, that should
obscure the memory oi Hulls sur
render. We FELL TO WORK, AND
THE THING WAS DONE. Cheers.
The battles Of Chippewa and Lun-
dy's Lane followed.
Gen. Scott remarked, in conclu-
sion, that he was severely indisposed,
and would be unable to speak fur
ther, until after nights rest. He
thanked the people for their kind.

plause.

Re..I.. Of Ihe raria efGsas.

We copy the following from the
Clarion (Penn.) Democratic Register
Of the llth instant:
"CLARIoN COUNTY SOLD OUT."-
The above is the title Of paragraph
which is going the rounds OF the
press. Il is almost true, A great
portion OF our county has recently
been disposed Of by the Sheriff.
The following properties, among
others, were sold, with the prices an
nexed:
Hemlock Furnace, s2,3O0
Licking Furnace, with usual sppurts-
nanees, and two Farms, J,605
Washington Furnace and property at
tached, $50
Clinton Furnace, 50
These are but few-and behold the
awful sacrificed Compare the inn
mense cost OF these establishments
with the prices for which they were
sold.
Washington Furnace was sold for
the paltry sum Of S650-cost $780,
600.
Clinton Furnace, which brought
the neat sum Of $50, actually cost
$4,000.
This is one Of the results Of the
Tariff Of 1876. Let Locofoco press
ses continue their arguments in favor
of this suicidal policy, and our fair
country will soon present a wide
spread picture OF desolaiion and ruin.
Comment is unnecessary.

Iowa CRY, Sept. 2, 1852.
Ex-Gov. ROBERT LUCAS

Honored Sir: | have, within the last
few days, seen it stated in a number Of
the Wing papers oflowa and elsewhere,
that you have expressed yourself in ia
vor of the election to the next Presiden-
cy of Gen. WINFIELD ScoTr, and that
you would support him with your vote
and influence.
| assure you, sir, that / was much
pleased to learn that this was The posi-
ton you occupied. But within the last
few days this report has been contradic-
ted in some of the Democratic papers of
this State.
My object, therefore, in addressing
you at this time, is, TO learn from you
over Your own signature, what are your
feelings and views in relation to the fit
ness and qualifications of the two prom
inent men now before the American peo-
pie as candidates for the pre- eminently
responsible position Of President ofthese
United States; and whether or not you
design supporting Gen. WINFIELD ScorT
for that office.
An answer from you at your earliest
convenience will very much oblige your
friend and obedient serV't,
