Is Gen. Scott a Shareholder !
SALEM, October 20, 1852.

Whether there is any truth in this charge,
that General Scott is a stakeholder, We cannot
say. If it be so, it is news to us. We can
only give whig authority for the assertion, a
species of evidence not always reliable. Whe-
thCr true or not, the following paragraph from
a whig paper, the Mississippi Argus, shows
their manner of clectioneering for him in the
South.
"But Gen. Scott is also presented to us by
his friends as the man whom it is our interest
to elevate to tho Presidency, and to Southern
men with Southern interests, he presents claims
for their suffrage of no small weight. Born

We had also Mrs. Frohock from Wollsyille. TO
prove that there were certain immutable laws
which could never be innocently violated

touched in their minds the fountain of LIVING

that all wars were wicked and inhuman-the

it would need the bloody instrument to enforce

We saw few weeks since a silly tale going
the rounds of the pro-slavery press, stating that
the individuals above named, wearied with
freedom, had returned to their Georgia master.
OF course it found credcnco only in the sillness
of hunkcrdom. To it, it was a god-send over
which it joycd, as though it was a clincher for
all the absurdity over uttered by pro-slavery
picty and politics. But this, like a great ma
iority Of "facts" from the same quarter, turns
out to be fable.

HoSoR To WHOM HoNoR.-The Herald Of
Freedom says, "At the late injecting for suffer-

earnestly recommended not to vote for Scott or

consistency by voting for Hale and Julian"
II the Herald is not misiniormcd in this, it is
certainly gratifying mark of progress. Who
shnll doubt it, when they remember Henry

which the meeting and its members knew how

Letter from Parker PillSbury.
ANN Amor, Michigan, !
n.f 1Oth 1OHp {

Oct. 18th, 1882.
DEAR MARrus: I am dragging the battle
along as well as could be expected of one alone.
The presence Of so many Free Soil and other
missionaries and colportcurs just now, is very
much to our disadvantage because the
attention of the people is continually engaged,
but more particularly, because it seems to
great many, as though we were all politicians
and demagogucs together.
I have spoken almost every evening since
coming into the State, have had long meetings
every Sunday, and several other days besides.
We have had no less meetings for the sickness
and detention of the Grifings, nor do VIC gen.
orally close until very late a. nights. 1t makes
harl work.
When we came into the State, We decided
not to hold any controversy with Free Soil
men. We saw that in the party were many
good abolitionists, and as yet not much has
been done TO mark the distinction bctwixt them
and ourselves. james Walker has done an
excellent work by his visits and labor in awak
ing the minds Of the people, and had acquired
a most deserved and desired reputation. And
our opinion was, that, as there is hope and
expectation that he will spend some months
here the coming winter, it would be better for
him after the election, TO lead on the work to
higher stages of advancement and perfection.
But VIC are driven into full discussion of the
whole subject, in almost every meeting. We
have, of course, to give the reasons why we do
not vote. Then they tell us we are in no way
responsible for slavery by voting. That they
have just heard Gildings, Hale, Julian, IIamlin
and others, all of whom are now, or have Jus,
been in the State, and that there is no difference
tohaterer, betieeen these men and Geyyit smith,
Thus every day, l have been told by the most
prominent men of the party,th Mr.. Smith i,
on their platform, is elcctionccring for the Free
Soil candidates, and will vote for them in No.
vember.
The people here arc on this side of the con.
troversy, and view as anti.slavery, the Consti.
tuition. And should Gerrit or Frederick Doug.
lass come and lecture among them, it seems tc
me not q Free Democrat of the whole of them
except the wire pullers, would dissent from on,
Of their opinions. And the leaders and cleo.
tooneerers of the party leave it so consequent.
ly when we approach them with truth on tht
subject, they seem amazed, some doubt and
many deny altogether. The FREQ Soil party il
} not behind the other parties, in such kinds O.
party chicanery and manoeuvoing. am full
, ly persuaded that vast multitude of votes will
be obtained by this stroke of policy at the ap
} proaching election, that otherwise would b,
given to the party of Gcrrit Smith, or else tn,
voters would stay away from the polls. 1 won
der the "Iiberty Party" men do not look t,
this matter.
A new Free Soil paper has just been ISSUED
at Detroit, and so we are doing nearer to moth
ing. Gf possiblc) than before, for the Bugle.-
Ohio must yet regard this State as missionar,
ground, and act accordingly.
Yours in haste,

Wade and GiddingS

Our readers arc perhaps all aware, that our
hast Democratic Legislature cut ap tho state
hto such shaped congressional districts ns it
thought would best serve the cause Of bunker
Democracy. Thus was Mr.. Gddngs old dis
trict changed. When 10 instead Of demo-
cratic triumph, behold heo free soil districts, and
two of the oldest, bravest-most thoroughly
tried anti-slavery politicians therein, sent to
Congress, to be if nothing more, thorns in the
sides of all slave holders, north and south, for
two years to come. From our knowledge Of
the men We must say that if Giddings and Wade
do not keep open arunning issue on every body
Of them, We shall have less faith in politicians
than now, and it Is not over great. But how
ever little faith we have in politicians, we have
good deal in humanity, and especially in the
two goodly specimens of it, to whom we alludc,
even IL they do go to Congress. We warn the
slave holders in that body that this Edward
Wade will be found made of stcrner stuff, than
most northern mon with whom they arc called
70 cit in council Giddings they know quite as
we'll ss we do, and we need say nothing about
him, only that we don't believe his abolition
has suffered any detriment by mixing with the
true hearted lovers of freedom in his district.
The Milwaukee Free Democrat exults over
the election of Wade and Giddings after the
following fashion;
Hurrah for the Western Reserve, for clccting
WADE and GippINGs to Congress The Hunk
srs dug two graves to bury Free Soeis in, but
the Angel OF Liberty wrapt them in winding
sheet and buried them in the grave they have
dug for Frccmcn, and placed her own white
banner in tho hands of Wade and Giddings,
and said, "Go preach my gospel at Washington!
lIallelujah!
To our distant readers we may say they can
have little idea of the desperate and determined
malignity with which the pro-slavcry men in
SIR. Gidding's district, sought his defeat. They
were aided by men in adjoining districts who
have heretofore made loud professions Of anti
slavery, and who were therefore the better cna-
bled to serve the despots in this instance. They
were also aided to the utmost by Horace Greedy
and the unscrupulous electioneering clique at
Washington City. But thanks to the frmncss
Of the nnti slavery spirit in Ashtabula, Trumbul
and Mahoning, they were defeated, as of all
men they deserved to be.

To The friends Of Free Discussion.

The undersigned so,ieitous for the sd-

free discussion, to attend q Convention TO bo
held et Salem, Ohio, on Saturday, Sunday
aud Monday, 18Th, l4Ih, and 18th Of Noveu-
Der next, for The purpose of freely and fully
canvnssing the ORIGIN, AUTHORITY
AND INFLUENCE OF THE JEWISH
AND CHRISTIAN SCRIPTURES.
This invitation is not given to any particu-
lar class of Philosophers, Thcoogians or
Thinkers, but IS in good faiih, extended to
all who feel nn interest IN the examination
of the questions above stated. There nte
many who believe that n supernatural Reve-
alion has been given to man; many others
who deny this, and large number who are
afflicted with perplexing Notwithstanding
between the silent skcplicism of their reason
aud the fear Of absolute denial. In issuing
call for a Convention we have in view the
correction of error 10y which party soever
entertained, and the relief of those who stand
between doubt and fear from their embarrus.
sing position.
Some nny have no doubt ihnt the Jewish
aud Christian Scriptures have subseryed an
important end, and yet believe that their
mission is nearly completed and must be
superseded by new dispensaiion; some
may believe that their influence has been
prfJudicial in every respect, and that they
have been curse rather than blessing to
mankind, others may believe them perfect
record Of the Divine will TO man-good in
the past aud for all time TO come mud others
still may deny the plenary inspiration Of the
Bible, discarding much Of the Old Testa-
'nen, and receiving most or all of the New.
Sill such diversity of opinion instead of
prejudicing the interest and good results
! which ought TO attend such n Convention,
will rather tend to increase its interest and
cncance its value to the cause of Truth.
Doubtless free interchange of thought is
the best mode of exciting inquiry and of ar
irving at the Truth.
Gle who has Truth and keeps it,
Keeps what not TO him belongs;
And his fellow mortal wrongs"
We invite, therefore, all who feel an inte-
rest in this question, without distinction of
sex, color, sect, or party, TO come together,
that we may sit down like brethren in q
communion before the altar of intellectual
and spiritual Freedom.
