"LOOK OUT FOR THEM"
The Letter Of Coz. Lowe, and the Posi-
tioa of Gen. Pierce.

of Satan, himself. OF this, the letter of
Gov. Lowe, published generally over
the State, and last Saturday, in the To-
cofoco paper of this county, is fair ex-
ample. That paper, itself, under the
caption we have placed at the head of
this article, warns its readers to look
out for dying wing documents about
Gen. Pierce and the Fugitive Slave law"
with which, it says, the country is food
ed, and in the next column inserts the
gasconadlng, mendacious and lying let
ter of Gov. Lowe. We shall refer again
to this matter of Pierce and the Fugitive
Slave Law, noticing as we pass the let
ter of the Governor.
Presumptuously paraded forth as writ
ten in the "Erecutire Department." and
intended thus to reach 'the Faithful as
"By Authority," it is yet so odorate OF
the braggadocio and demagogue that the
bitterest partizan, who is not utterly
blind, must at once see its misrepresen.
tations, its hypocrisy and its lies. Who
is Enoch Louis Lowe, that he should
issue from the "Erecutiue Department"
which he will most probably overly
disgrace before he leaves it--such pa
per against the integrity of the Wing
party of this country!
Because Mr.. Greeley and Senator
Seward support Gen. Scott, he sees tre-
mendous danger that the Freesoil party
will triumph in his election. Is not all
his balderdash in this behalf just as good
against Gen. Pierce, because Atwood,
the Van Burens, Stanton, and such like,
are supporting him! Does he write for
the amusement Of fools, that he should
pirate so! Verify lie pays poor COM
pliment TO the dscernment of the peo-
pie of Maryland.
He sees terrible departure from prin-
ciple BY the whig party because they
nominated Scott instead Of Fillmore or
Webster. Did the wings do worse than
the locofocos when they took Pierce in
stead OF Cass or Buchanan Did they
make as great sacrifice? Scott had
been prominent candidate before sew
eral wing conventions, was a marked
man in the history of his country, was
the candidate of the people, and receiv.
ed heavy vote in the wing convention
on the first ballot. Pierce was nothing
compared to him; he was not dreamed
of by the people, nor bv the locofoco
convention till near its close, as a last
resort.
The Governor argues that Seward,
Greeley, and the Freesoilers, would not
support Scott, if there were hopes of
Hale's election; but, that being out of
the question, they take Scott, that they
may ride into power over the "broken
cohorts"-to use one of his big words
"of the Union-Ioving Democracy and
drive out the Union-l loving Fillmore and
Webster Wings" In the very column
which his letter closes, in the paper to
which We have referred, it is asserted
that Pierce will carry Ohio by thirty
thousand. And why! Because Wing
trce-soilers will not vote for Scott but
for Hale; while the locofoco free.solers
knowing their man, mark ye,-will
cling to Pierce. thus giving him the State
by that large majority. Thus is the
Governor met and upset, by his own
party, in the same paper that publishes
and lauds his letter.
1t is all right that certain prominent
freesolers should support Pierce, but all
wrong that others should support Scott.
The valiant Governor sees a great diff.
ference "betwixttweedle dunn and twee-
dle-dee; '--but passing his harmless rant
ings by, we proceed to notice again
those "documents about Pierce and the
Fugitive Slave Law"
We are of the opinion that every can
did man of every party, who has exam
med the whole subject, is convinced that
Gen. Pierce did say in his New Boston
speech, in January last, that he "loathed
the Fugitire Slavc Law," and made the
other remarks, substantially, IN relation
to it, attributed to him by the reporters
of that speech. In "A previous article OH
