the standard established by Senator'S from his
own State, should have been for $50 or ego
miles, instead of ,065. Overcharge, 4O5 or
4lO miles!
We think that MIR. MERIwETHER will ex-
perence difficulty in defending one overcharge
by citing another. We dealt, and still deal,
with the Senator, whose preference for MIR.
MARsHALL's standard is certainly surprising.
considering the relationship that has heretofore
subssted between the honorable gentlemen.
The Louisville Journal happily hits this fea-
ture of the transaction:
.'Mr. Meriwether, it seems, did not think proper
to inquire of the Clerk as to the mileage at any
time claimed by any member Of Congress from
Kentucky except Colonel Marshall. Well, we are
gratified to find Mr. Merwether paying such high
compliment to Colonel Marsha's integrity and
honor. We suppose the public remember that,
when Mr.. Meriwether and Colonel Marshall were
running against each other for Congress in this
district year ago, the grossest and most startling
| cha ges were made by the editor of the Democrat
and many other Democratic partisans against
Colonel AlarshalPs honesty in pecuniary matters;
and now Colonel M. q frends will be highly pleased
to learn that Mr.. Meriwether had such unbounded
all the other Kentucky members of Congress, past
and present, as the one by whose pecunary claims
he should model his We have seldom wit
messed 30 noble vindicaton Of a slandered man"
The Louisville advocates of MIR. MERI-
wErHER will be more likely to benefit his po-
ltical reputation by meeting the plain facts of
the case as they stand against him than by
raising bubbles on immaterial issues, and en-
deavoring to cover retreat under volley of
| abuse. Let them, in the first place, answer
the charge which a comparison Of the mileage
of Kentucky Senators suggests; and when
that is satisfactorily accomplished, let them
meet the fact that while the Democrats, with
all their unfairness of statement, do not venture
to allege that General SCOTT, during his forty
four years of service, received an average of
more than $l8 O8 per diem, including all ex-
tras, Mr.. MER1wETHER, for forty eight days.
Senatorial service, received an average Of $25 rs
per diem. These are the points that have yet
to be settled in Mr.. MERlwETHER's favor.
| The Louisville Times has not touched them.

SHOUTING BEFORE THEY ARE HAfrY.-We notice
that the Democratic presses generally are in high
glee at the election returns from Pennsylvania,
Ohio, and Indiana, and are hurrahing according
ly. They are soon made happy There was just
such a shout when Mr.. Pierce was nominated at
Baltimore over well-tried statesmen, in one short
month, they would give good deal to have a
stronger name to fight under. We respectfully
suggest two or three topics for meditation on the
part of our Democratic friends that may moderate
their present ecstacies: First that the returns from
those three States are not yet complete Secondly,
that the Wings have rather gained than lost in each
State. In Pennsylvania we have carried the Senate,
though we have lost the Lower House, and we have
increased our Congressional representation. In
Ohio there no contest for State Off GERS, who
were allowed almost to 60 by default; and notwith-
standing the districting of the State by the Demo-
cratic Legislature for the especial purpose of this
election, have won nearly half of the delegation,
including even that hotbed of radical Democracy,
Hamilton county. The results in Indiana are yet
uncertain. 1t is worth noting, however, that the
personal popularity of the Democratic candidate
for Governor carried him ahead of the Democratic
ticket We would add that local elections do not
always indicate the vote Of the State in the Presi-
Dental ticket, as Democracy was taught in l849.
With a morning contemporary, we remind our
readers that General ScorT ,cas not candidate at
any of these elections. On the I'd Of November he

MARYLAND. - Enthusiastic, largely attended
and effective Wing meetings have recently been
held in different parts of Worcester and Somerset
counties General Thomas F. Bowie, of Prince
Georges county, Hon. James B. Ricaud, of Kent
county, and Coleman Yellott, ESQ.,, Of Baltimore,
were the speakers at these meetings, and appear
to have done good service to the Wing cause on
each occasion. The Snow Hill Shield thus refers
to these meetings:
"The recent enthusiastic demonstrations in this
and Somerset county are calculated to be of great
benefit to the Wing party Of the State generally
but OF special advantage to the glorious cause OF
that old campaigner Of many fights, Winfield
Scott. At Salisbury, Snow Hill, and Princess
Anne the meetings were large and enthusiastic;
and we can safely say we never witnessed at any
similar gatherings of the people closer and more
respectful attention than was paid to the addresses
delivered at each of these places Let the result Of
similar meetings held in other parts of the State be
equally influential, and Maryland will give Har-
rison majority for the hero of Lundy's Lane"
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1852-10-18

they should vote for ScoTr. In some parts Of
the same State the Irish citizens had resolved
to vote for ScorT in body.
The indications are unmstakable. WINFIELD
Scorr has earned the gratitude of the Ameri,
can people, and cannot fail to be elected.
Let our friends be not deceived, but smile in
derision at the harmless braggadocio of the
Democratic presses. The laugh Of triumph
which our antagonists put forth is as hollow
and affected, and will be as BRIEF as that of the
mock duke in the comedy, whose pleasing
self gratuatory anticipations were suddenly
dspelled by the appearance of his master in
true guise. II rra bien qui rira derfaier.

General Pierce's Services.

Abiding to General PIERcE's speech at the
New Hampshire fair, the metropolitan organ
asks
"What Democrat ia there in the land who would
not have hung his head with shame and disap-
pointment if General Pierce had seized the occa
sion to expatiate upon his civil or military career.
to enumerate the high offices he has declined or
laid down, the services he has rendered, or the
honors he has won p
Why would Democrat "have hung his
head" if General PIERCE had 50 "expatiated?''
Because the listener would have felt that the
speaker laid claim to excellencies of which he
is not a legitimate possessor.
A speech or an essay upon General PIERcE's
civil or military career" "the services he
has rendered or the honors he has won," would
form a new feature in the campaign, and fur
nish food for laughter until long after the SO,
| cond of November.

Hon. J. r. INGERsoLL.-The following pa
ragraph from the Liverpool Mercury of o.
tober will be read with interest:
"Hon. Joseph R. Ingersoll, Of Philadelphia, the
newly appointed American Minister to this coun-
try, was among the passengers that arrived here
on Wednesday. September %, by the Arctic. He
was accompanied by his niece, Miss Wilcox, and
Immediately on landing proceeded to the Adelphi
Hotel Shortly afterward the honorable gentleman
was waited upon by the following deputation from
the Liverpool American Chamber of Commerce
Messrs. William Brown, M. p, Eyre Evans, F.
Hamilton, w. jackson, Malcomson, HARDER and
others, with Mr.. Duncan, the secretary. The de.
putation congratulated the American Minister on
his arrival in this country. and invited him to dine
with the members Of the Chamber on an early day
Hon. Mr.. Ingersoll at once accepted the invitation
after he had entered upon the duties of his Office
he could make arrangements for leaving London
In the course of conversation with the deputation
Mr.. Ingersoll stated that Mr.. Secretary Webster
had informed him before he left the United States
that no difficulty would or could arise with Great
Britain the fishery question. The honorable
gentleman remained at the Adelphi Hotel during
Wednesday night, and left Liverpool yesterday by
the nine q. m train for London. We understand
renee, the present Minister, terminate to day, and

The Elections in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
The very rational exposition Of our intelli-
gent Baltimore correspondent with respect to
the recent elections in Pennsylvania and Ohio,
as contained in his letter published this morn
ing, claims, and will doubtless receive, the at
tention of our Wing friends. The actual re-
turns Justify the greatest confidence that in
November we shall carry those States by heavy
majorties. 1t is estimated by careful and re-
liable persons who have travelled extensively
in both States, that at the late elections at
least fifteen thousand and probably twenty
thousand Wings neglected to vote who whl be
at the polls in November. 1t is further esu-
mated that Of those who voted the Locofoco
ticket, five thousand to eight thousand in each
State land probably much larger NUMBER
will support General Scorr, which will give
MIN their combined electoral vote by a large
majority.
A gentleman who recently travelled from
Cleveland to Cincinnati says that in every in
stance save one. in which he took the pains Il
inquire of German citizens, he was inSsrlabl,
answered that though they were Democrats

The Pittsburgh Post publishes and eulogizes
violent political letter addressed to Demo
cratic mass meeting at Greensburg, Pa, by
Mr.. FoRNEy, now holding Office as Clerk Of
the House of Representatives. The Post
nevertheless cherishes an abstract horror Of
political interference by Wing officers Of the
Government.
The Union, which shares the horror when
directed against Wings, reprints Mr.. FoRNEY's
letter without whisper of discomfort.

General Granger, Christopher Morgan, and
John A. Spencer were called out, greeted, and
made speeches. The guests were introduced by
the Mayor and other citizens. The ladies paid
their respects, and received characteristic sol
dier's greeting. Democratic meeting held
to- night at the club room Horatio Seymour and
others spoke. There was great enthusiasm, with
bonfires, and q torchlight procession.

The ANrI-RENT CONFERENCE.-The Ambient
Convention of the State of New York assembled at

Truth STRANGER THAN F1crIoN-A poor
country girl travelled from Gee Cross near
Manchester, to London, during the trouble of
Charles ], to ask place as servant. Fail
ing in this object of her ambition, she engaged
herself as what was called /" a tub-woman, to
q brewer that is, she carried out the beer from
the brew-house. Pleased with her healthy,
handsome face, the brewer raised her to the
posit,on of his servant then to that of his wife;
finally, to that of widow, with handsome
dover. She engaged Mr.. Hyde, then celebra-
ted as a clever lawyer to settle some puzzling
money matters for her; and as his own money
matters happened to be not only puzzng, but
in hopeless state just then, he proposed to the
rich widow, and married her. MIR, Hyde be-.
came Lord Chancellor, and Earl of Clarendon.
The only daughter of the marriage became
wife of James II. and mother of the Princesses

Az ENGLsH LAW DECIsIoN-The following
case is reported in late number of the English
" Law Magazine :"
At the recent assize at Liverpool, stabbing
case from Manchester was heard before Baron
Platt, who, in summing up the jury used these
words: One of the witnesses tells you that he
said to the prisoner, If you use your knife you
are damned coward" say, also, continued
the learned judge, apparently in deep thought.
that he was damned coward, and any man is
a damned coward who will use knife.
We have heard this opinion expressed before,
but never from the bench.
