Nesdoubt if ever there has been, in our po-
lilical history as nation, presidential cam
paign conducted in such low and base mar
ner as iha, now pursued by the whigs.-
While democrats everywhere are willing to ac-
cord to the wing nominee all the honor to
which he is entitled as a brave and distin-
guished soldier and have refrained fromscast-
ing reproaches upon his character, we see
some of the most contemplate and mean In
situations all of which are without the least
foundation in truth-trnmpeted through the
length and breadth of the land, by the wings,
in regard TO franklin Pierce, one of the pnr-
est minded patriots that ever breathed. We
did hope the whg papers had reached their
depth of meanness but it seems in their mad
ress they are descending still lower. We al
Jude to spurious publication purportiDg to be
history of the life and services of Gen.
Pierce. 1t was got up and printed by some
wing establishment to deceive honest and un-
circulated throughout the country. We eau
ton our friends against these false and mall
cious productions of the wing press. Men
who can stoop to SO low and dirty business as
this, will resort to any thing that is vile and
mean 10 deceive honest men. We know not
from what source these documents emanate,
but from The following which we copy from
the Cincinnati Enquirer, we are strongly m
cined to believe that the Ohio State Journal is
the source or fountain from which they spring
We alluded some days since to the report
that the Ohio State Journal was publishing
spurious edition of the life of Gen. Pierce, for
general circulation through the country We
requested the Journal 10 send US a copy, but it
has not thought it polite to be courteous in
such matter, or has entirely overlooked our
request. ...F ...
We see that the same spurious work is be-
ing printed III different parts of the Union at
the same time, leaving no doubt that it is
preconcerted matter, arranged at Washington
by such precious scamps as the Hon. Truman
Smith
This pretended biogra phical sketch Of Gen.
Pierce, is, we are informed, a vile carricainre,
full of misrepresentation and falsehoods. and
worthy only of an author. who by some unac-
countable circumstance, is not an inmate of
peni,entary.
The card or circular to which the names of
Truman Smith and other wing members of
Congress were attached, in which they stated
that they were democrats and republicans, but
could not for certain reasons support Gen.
Pierce, shameless as it was, is not equal in
baseness 10 this pretended life of Gen. Pierce.
We though the campaign of 1910 had brought
to life grosser attacks on truth than any future
campaign could possibly produce, but the
Scoliites are determined The present shall
equal, if il does not exceed, anything that the
Ogles of that day were the authors of.
We warn the democracy 10 be on Their guard
against these false and shameful productions.
The object is to fill you with lies against as
honorable, patriotic and worthy man as the
Union contains. Desperate, indeed, is the
cause that requires resort to such disgrace
full modes of electioneering.
