venerable town Of Annapolis, in Mafyland.-
1t was here that Senator d adge done good SER

in the Senate of the U. States.
| Gen. Scott, has arrived in kentucky, after
spending much of bis time, cnr9uts, travelling
through Pennsylvania and Ohio, stoppin. to
make speeches to the people. This is the first
instance of 'he kind, that has ever occurred by
a Presidential nominee. But, the Seward can.
didate finds his chance forj he Presidency pretty
m,-hence, he has thought proper, to try his
hand al electh ering for himself The aao-
non Governor johnson, Of Pa. tr v lid with
he General, to preside at the meet n,s John
son made speech for Gen Scott at Pittsburg
| Gen. Scott speeches, are truly ridiculous, and
| in the one he made at Columbus, lie shewed-
the worst kind Of temper, and used strong and
| improper language, particularly for candidate
for the Presidency of the great aud glorious
country. You must publish the whole Of his
speeches before the election. The language Of
'ergerversation, his temper and feeling, will do
more to convince the public Of his u ter unftness
for the Presidency than any thing can send
you.
The fish questions is rewing mischief in the
east Several more vessels have been captured,
and one of them ten miles fiom shore, by the
British Cutter. Things are coming to pretty
pass, truly, if such outrages are to b. permitted
t. be practised upon our lawful commerce. Bu'
what can be expected Of the present Executive.
Nothing whatever They sent M {. Perry, in
! 4 T., & no
! fishermen, and Perry took dinner with he Brit
| ish authorities, and returned home. That is
the way all Foreign Questions are settled now
We "kpock under" to every power who may
choose TO insult. degrade, or capture our vessels,
or murder our citizens. 1t will be no better, so
! long as whiggery remains in power. 1t would
be worse under abolition Seward lictatlon.
see no remedy for any of these difficult s, bu'
.he induction of Franklin Pierce into the Pres'
dency on the 4th March next When that is
done, some little change will take place, that
will restoAe us to the days, when no ma ion dare
insult, modest or rob the American citizen with
immunity.
Every indication goes 10 shew, that we shall
achieve ade :siye victory at the ? es ntia!
election. Even Massachusetts, is futtering in
the wind, and you must not be surprised, if the
Webster men make good run in that State,
hat, the plurality will be given to Pierce and
King. Oar friends seem confident of carrying
the State, and no efforts will be spared on their
part to bring about such result.
In Maryland, which has always been whig
State, the democracy is up and doing The
whig party 90 no: admire the company in yhich
Gen Scott is found and, altho', they are wings,
they by no means ever think Of affiliatng with
Sewardism theref re, take it for granted,
that Gen Scott will not obtain the vote of the
State.
Flom the Empire State all is buoyant with
success. We shall carry that State, now the
two wings o the democratic party united by
a handsome majority. Their, is no doubt ofths
whatever.
We shall look to your patriotic portion of the
country for large and commanding majority
Your people are too pure in principle, too firmly
welded to the prosperity Of the whole union, TO
tnlnk LOT Elotneut, o1 eheHu0n tHeiS SupPoI'
to he Seward nominee for the Presidency
The times must be out Of JOINT, truly, when
=, Iowa shall cast a majority of her votes for a
! sectional wing candidate for the Presidency -
We have NO doubt, but that Pierce and King
will be susta ned by at least fee thousand ma
iority in your democratic aud prosperous State
