To the Ballot Box.

The Day is at hand-On Tuesday next, Fellow-citi.
zens it is your right say by Ballot whether you pre-
fer Winfield Scott and w H. Graham as the first Of
cers of this government whether you prefer Frank
lin Pierce and W. R. King. Winfield Scott is sim
ply military man-has been over forty years in the
service of his country soldier. His time, at
tenton his very intellect has been narrowed to sys-
tenn of forms and rules. He is a soldiers good sol
der simple in habits ntolerant in practice, vain and
pompous in intercourse He has had no experience in
civil affairs, says he has attended public meetings.
and is Therefore, deficient in those elements requisite to
make him good civil chief magistrate.
Not with Franklin Pierce. He has been through
all the elementary departments, and is qualified by e-
perience and study As a member of the Legislature
of his own State-Speaker of that assemby-as a
member in the popular branch and subsequently U.
S. Senator, he has gathered such information as will
fit him to discharge the duties of chief Magistrate with
honor to his country, and credit to himself
We have shown the political antecedents of both
candidates. We have demonstrated that the one was
the choice of the freesoil wing of the Northern Wing
wing of the Democratic party.
1t for you fellowcitizens now to select from the
two All would say, is do it calmly, and with
denDerauon,-Wltn yourests the consequences. We
have discharged our duty, without fear favor. We
have attempted to deceive you in nothing. We have
to the best our poor ability, given you the facts.
You must be the judges-our form of government
stitutes you such, and when you go to the Ballot
Box bear in mind this that upon you rests the respon
sibity ola priceless heritage and be that you
discharge that Duty that you may transmit that heritage
your posterity as heavy ladened with blessings
you received tfrom those who have passed down tc
the grave before you.

Too Late.

L. D. Campbell. OF Ohio, after eIectioneerng
IN that State during the recent contest by repre-
senting that Gen. Sc Tt was opposed to the fugitive
slave law. and was good free-soiler, now tele-
graphs to the South that he never made such rep
reservations. He is too late; the game is TOO
transparent. Campbell used his statements Of
Gen. SCOTS aboliionism as long as be thought
could effect anything in Ohio, and he now sendss
denial to effect something in the South.
This hand is to be played from now till the cleo
tion-we shall have all sorts of documents to prove
Scott a real ''fre-eater." The game is not worth
the candle; the people of the South have too many
evidences of Scotts unreliableness of his full at
hliation with the free-soers to be effected by the
tpSe diru of this L. D. Campbell Witness that
dinner and carriage riding with Seward the other
day at Auburn-witness the tone of the n. ].
Tribune, Times, Thurlow Weeds Journal, and
all the other northern abolition papers, now ap'
pealng to the enemies of the South to stand up
to Scott-to save him from the vengeance of the
Southern people. Our people see and understand
these things, and all the certificates that can be
published from now until doomsday will never IN,
duce them to place their destines in the hands Of
Seward, Greedy, Scott & Co.-MontgOnsery Ad'
Uertiser.

W-The Massachusetts Telegraph, thorough
Scott paper holds the following language-readh
Southern men:
The first reason is that Gen. Scott has a strouqg
sympathy Nth tie principles Of tie FreesoH pGry
than Gen.ePierce. This cannot be denied free
sellers will not deny it. The general impression
respecting the man, North and South, warrants
the statement. There as no such impression IN
gard to Gen. Pierce, but instead there is Just TIE
contrary impression.
:. The. second reason is, that the course of Ger
Scott has been less offensive to FreesOiIers than that
Of Gen. Pierce. Ii the question of slavery were
now to be blottedseRt Of existence and cease to BE-
leaving nothing for Freesoilers to concern them
Selves with butthe other national questions they
would so MUCH prefer the election of Gen. Scott
to that of Pierce chat they would even drop then
own candidate PIERCE WAS BORN AND
BRED, AND HAS LIVED AND ACTED ALL
I HI5.LIFE AS a DEADLY OPPONENT OF
THAT POLICY WHICH MASSACHUSETTS
EREESOILERS, Up TO -1848, WARMLY
CHERISHED. His elyetion would, in tbs re-
sPeet, be triumph Over themselves. They must
therefore prefer the election of General Scott
Another reasen- is, John p. Hale prefers tie
election Of Gen. Sect. Mr.. Hale is the chosen
candidate and trusted leader OF tie Free -Solygs
Wien he approyes and prefers, they feel in gen
eTal that they have reason to approve and prefer.
Now it's certain that he prefers the election Of
Gen. Scott to that of Gen. Pierce. 1t was that
he might be freeto give greater effect to bis pra-
terence, that he wrote his letter declining the Pitts
burg nomination. Had he been allowed TO have
his way. had he been relieved of the empty honor
he would have gone into New Hampshire and
strained every nerve to defeat Pierce. And al
his action, SO far as he can govern it, during the
campaign, viii now be directed to that end
A fourth reason is that Gen. SceH Is just saak
a man as the ytfee-sOiEers protessed tour gears
ago, to rant, achtie Gen. Pierce as Just tie ogPO-
site.
Now this is plain talk-as some. and they sen
sible men would say-talk enough. We could Gil
our paper With this sort of reasoning, clipped from
Northern Scott papers-these Re the arguments
used at the North against Pierce and at the South
he is held up as an Abolitionist.

A Noble Whig.

Some ofour Tennessee Scott wing friends, have
endeavored to impress on US the fact that Old Kit
Williams, as he is Familiarity called, would back
out from the position assumed by him last spring
and go for Scott. It has been whispered around
that, Gentry wasonly waiting an opportunity to do
likewise. Gentry is now in Tennessee, and he re-
Gently sent word to Scott elector, ESQ Tennessee
paper says) that if he the eectof dared breathe
his (Gentry's) name above whisper, he would
impale him higher than Hannah was. Gentry is
dead against Scott, as we have good authority for
Saying ..Old Kit is true the following
letter will show.
We commend this letter to our Tennessee Scott
readers-itis an honest production and is from a
true whig of the Compromise school

4 Col. s. c. PAvATr-Dear Sir Your letter,
dated at Purdy, September 3Oth, is before me-
You inform me that I am denounced by whie
speakers as a democrat renegade" and
thatI would give ga kingdom for a horse 10 ride
back into my party on" You further say, stfrom
the long intimacy of twenty years, during all of
which time we have entertained opinions antago-
MYSTICAL to each other that you desire s.to know
whether you are to regard me as a wing or demo-
crat, and whether have changed any OF my polit-

years, devoted actively and industriously in the

the effect that such charges are designed to pro-

me anything. I was wing fifteen years before
