HOW 1T TAKES.

This nomination of Scott won't go
down." cpoaks here and there a Pierce
man, with as good an imitation of conf
dence as he can muster; " our papers as
sert that Hon. Judge Foo-Foo of Alabama,
the Hon. R. Oh-Ox of Georgia and the
eminent Squire Windy of Arkansas, are
Isall out against him. So he has mt a
chance"
My green friend you do mt seem to
understand that Scott was mt nominated by
the Foo-Foos, Windys and Of-Oxen, nor
nominated to please them. 1t would have
been easy to please them with a candidate
Except those who had resolved to go for
Pierce anyhow;) but in pleasing them we
should have displeased the great body of
the People. The nomination is popular for
reasons which set these men against it
and the more popular that they are against
it. Every one Of them who comes out
openly against Scott will give him ten
votes for every one he carries off,
The Ercning Post busies itself in fishing
up every instance of broken down poll
ticisn or soured Hunker who has resolved
to 90 against Scott. Without having vet
attempted to justify its assertions that
Amos Tuck, Alb. Schermerhorn, F. S.
Martin, John w. Howe, and VIM. f. Hun
ter (Members of Congress) are opposing
SCOTS election, it gets up a new list of
ten or fifteen ex-Whigs, who Gs says) are
out against Scott. Let Us look at them.
John Henderson, of Mississippi, was
Wing many years ago, and U. S. Sena-
tor, in which capacity he went his whole
length for the Annexation Of Texas. We
always supposed he voted for Polk against
Clay; at all events he helped elect Polk,
whether he openly supported him or not.
de has done nothing for the Wing cause
since.
EPhrGim II. Foster of Tennessee was
another U. S. Senator of IS43.4.5, who
went in for Annexation, and helped mt it
through, thus giving the Birney sophists
(hke H. B. Stanton) some countenance in
their falsehood that tie Wigs annexed
Texas. On the heel Of his Texas vote,
Mr. Foster undertook to run for Governor

land will no longer suffer our Sloops and
schooners to fish in her waters, and will
drive them off by main force. Such seems
to be the drift of this mighty fuss, as far as
it has any.
Now it is we'll that the public should un-
dcrstand the real purpose of all this rum
pus. A measure has for some time been
before Congress known as the Canadian
Reciprocity Bill. All sorts of efforts have
been made to put it through, and made in
vain. 1t won't bulge. Congress does MT
mean to pass it. The entreaties Of all
Canada and the prayers of all Nova Scotia
fail to make it go. At last in despair this
furry is got up, and war, and diplomatic
disagreements, and what not beside, are
made to loom vaguely in the distance, by
way of pushing forward this defuact
scheme. That is the whole fthe story.
We have again and again shown why
this bill should not pass, and do not need
here to repeat the arguments in detail.
Let US grant these Colonies no privilege
that we should refuse to any State in the
Union, even to South Carolina. And if
they are so anxious to enjoy the advan-
tages of living under the same system with
ourselves, let them make arrangements to
have them on the same terms that we do
ourselves.

The sky is thick with rumors of trouble
with England, and prophets are abroad,
who feretell they know not what. The
mysterious mischief penetrates even to the
hills of y ew- Hampshire, and if we are to
believe the story, disturbs Mr.. Webster in
the tranquil reposc of the paternal farm at
Franklin. Straightway special messen-
ger thunders down to Boston on his way to

fashionable document in The Courier office,
where, in due season, and after proper
CESSATION, it will be produced to the public.
What it IS all about we are told only in
awful hints, and terrified surmises. 1t is

the fisheries Of the St. Lawrence Gulf;
there is the future scene of hostilities be-

THE CoMIyG ELECTIoNs.-The Presi-
Dental Election is the second day of No.

n The above paragraph has been for
some time travelling the rounds, but is full
of blunders. KENTUCKY and TENNESSEE
hold no State Election this year. IN
DIANA and ILLINOIS none till late in the
Autumn. That of Illinois has been re-
moved by her Constitutional Amendments
from August to the first Tuesday in No
vember, when Presidential Electors and
State Officers will be chosen on the same
day; that of Indiana has been likewise
changed from August to the second Mon
day in October.
The only States voting in August, there
fore, are Alabama, Iowa, Missouri and
North Carolina; every one having now
Opposition Governors and Legislatures.
None of them but North Carolina ever
elected Wing Governor, or clear Wing
Legislature. In North Carolina, d. S.
Reid, the present Governor, came within ga
votes of an election in l8l8, though Tay-
lor carried the State in November follow
ing by $3.50 majority. In 1850, Reid was
elected over Manly (Whig) by 2,774 ma
jority, carrying in Legislature Opposition
by IA majority. We hope he may now
be beaten, but do not feel sure of it. He
is a skillful electioneerer, and will run far
ahead of Gen. Pierce, though John Kerr,
tie Wing candidate, is fair man. But
Reid has great advantage on a local is
sue, and viii make the most of it.

Die Indications from Iowa, though the Wing
vote there in August will not come within
thousands Of Gen. SCOTS in November
Missouriwill 90 against US now, though we
look for two Wing Members of Congress-
where we had none till 1850, when the
Benton and Anti Benton feud gave us
three. The Wings will take hold of tho
Presidential contest with vigor after this
State scuflle is over.
