Speaking in Glasgow.

Mess. c. F. jackson, N. G. Elliott, and
Owen Rawlings, who are canvassing the
county to see if the democracy want them to
run for the Legislature, spoke in this place
last Saturday, to rather a small crowd,
Mr.. jackson spoke first, and at length,
on State matters, and wound up on Pierce.
He never mentioned Gen. Price or Green,
in his speech. On the Road Law and the
Re-Charter Of he Bank, he was in favor of
the instructions of the people. Individually
opposed to all banks, with rather leaning
TO the Road Law. Decidedly in favor of
tie present projected public improvements
but opposed 10 new works.
Mr.. Rawlings, as we stated last week,
was in favor Of anything the people were for,
ard opposed to everything they opposed.
Ir. Elliott simply announced his position,
stating that he had been called on to run,
and if he was the choice of the party he
would run. But if twenty-five democrats
wonld say he could not be elected, he would
back out.
DR.. Maughs, IF Fayette, spoke in reply,
successfully defended wing measures and
policy, and drew happy contrast between
Scott and Pierce, in which the latter was by
no means nattered. Gen. Perces views
on Internal improvements and the position
and efforts Of Jno. G. Miller, were dwelt up.
on with effect, and the speaker clearly show
ed if Pierce had been President, when oul
Land appropriation bill passed congress, h,
would have vetoed it. The Doctors speech
pleased the wings and annoyed the democ
racy exceedingly. Hewas not candidate

ination, he considered it Stree fight" ant

General Scott's Letter.

One of the journals which gave warm
expression to its disappointment on the fail
ure of the convention to nominate Mr.. Web
ster, in which it reflected no doubt the gen.
eral sentiment of the Wings of Boston
the Transcript thus comments on General
ScoTT's letter Of acceptance:
1--WE think General SCOTS letter cannot
fail to prove in the highest degree satisfac-
tory to all the conscientious upholders of the
Compromise. The country has full conf
dence in him as man Of honor and chival-
rous integrity. He is one of those men of
whom it may be said his word is as good as
his bond. When, therefore, he SAYS he ac-
cepts "the nomination with the resolutions"
there is no room for reservation or qualifca-
ton. And when he says, in regard to the
general policy of the administration, if
elected, | should of course look among those
,cho may approve the policy for the agents TO
carry it into execution" he means precise
" what his words obviously imply.
General Scott's letter is frank and ex-
plicit, and evidently framed TO meet the
doubts Of the many sincere friends of the
Compromise who have supposed that his
election would be the triumph of the faction
who repudiate a measure believed TO be
called for by the Constitution, and the mere
embodiment, in the form of law, of one Of
its express provisions. We think this let
ter will do much to quiet the malcontent
spirit which the nomination has raised, and
assure all friends of the Union and the Con-
stitution that, whatever may be his sur
roundings, General Scott has given an am
pie pledge of his loyalty and good faith. II
now remains to be seen what effect his en-
dorsement of the platform will have upon
those who heap indignity upon it and its
framers."

Wing Candidates.

1t is with feelings Of pleasure we respond
to the request 10 announce Mess. Rec PAR
rERsoN and THOMAS J. PAYNE candidates
for the Lower House of the next General
Assembly.
They are both we'll and extensively
known as men of sterling integrity, high
moral standing, and energetic farmers
They are not politicians, and have never
been office seekers, but have consented to
let their names be used at the urgent solicit
lotion Of many personal and political
friends, who think the tone of our Legsla-
ture can be improved, and the interests Of
our State advanced, by electing men who do
not make politics a trade, and who, from
their long residence in the county, and IA
miliarity with the people, their wants, feel
ings and sympathies, will pass such laws
as are needed, and repeal or amend such
as have been framed by their imprudent
predecessors. Such men are Patterson
and Payne.
They are making the tour of the county,
with view to more fully informing and
preparing themselves to discharge their du-
ty in the Legislature.

Hon. ]. S. Green.

This gentleman, pursuant to notice, ad-
pressed the people at Rocheport on Friday
last. His speech in the main was but re-
hash of his effort here. Maj. Rollins, in a
speech of signal ability and power, replied to
Mr.. Green at Rocheport, fully sustaining his
high reputation as a speaker.
On the next day Mr.. Green addressed
the people at Providence. The editor OF
this paper was present 10 answer him, but
Mr.. Green denied him that luxury by
speaking between four and five hours &c
prevent a reply. Every body, even his
own friends, saw his object. Near night
as it was, we stuck it ont till Mr.. Green
concluded and announced TO those present
that as he had consumed the day, and thus
cut off all reply, we would attend the barbe.

and then and there, before the same voters
as near as may be, defend Wing policy and

Howard Politics.

We overlooked the letter below, last
week, it having appeared in the Banner,
two weeks since, and now put it upon rec
ord, as part of the history of Howard Poll
tics. The movement spoken Of, was the
Township voting, to nominate candidates,
and the Major and his friends were right
Ike will know better than to run again, in
defiance of the leaders, as he did two years
ago
Mn. TwoMBLY:-I have been informed
by my friends and am satisfied Of the fact,
that the present movement on the part of a
portion of the people is intended to ostracise
me. know some of these gentlemen are
very fshy. know have enemies, but they
are not worth marking. l am not obliged
TO cater for public curiosity. You will please

Wing Candidates.

Messrs. RICE PATTERSON and THOMAS ].
PAYNE, announced themselves candidates
for the Legislature, at Bconsboro, on Tues
day. The democracy had a meeting there,
for the purpose of hearing Mess. Jackson,
Elliott and Rawlings speak, who we under
stood were present. Mr.. Jackson declared
himself candidate, having become satisfied,
we suppose, that he was the choice of the
democracy. Col. Elliott did not announce
himself, but is doubtless waiting the result
OF his proposition here, which was that if
twenty-five democrats would sign letter,
stating they did not believe he could be
elected, he would back out.
Yesterday, they spoke at New Franklin;
to-day near Rocheport; tomorrow they
speak at Roanoke; Saturday at Fsyette.-
There was large number of people out
Tuesday, and we hope they will turn out at
the other points.

obtained great celebrity in the states Of New York,
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio and other wheat
growing States and is regarded as superior TO any

of its construction, and its adaptation to a great
variety of uses. Many prominent agriculturalists
in New York have given their testimony in favor
of this power, having exchanged "Wheeer's
Power'' for the same, and many who purchased
"Wheeler's powel'' ofthe agents there, have sold
them and are trying "Emery & Co's.''

VINO RATIrICATIoNs.-The Wings of
Brooklyn and Jersey City held large and en-
thusiastic ratification meetings, which were
addressed by Ex-Governor Jones and Mr.
McCullom, of Tennessee; Gen. Edney, of
OF North Carolina, ard several other dis
tinguished Wings. Resolutions were pass
ed accepting and approving the nominations
and Platform, and the names of Scott and
Graham were loudly cheered. Deserved
COM liments were paid to Willard Fillmore
and Daniel Webster: and whenever these
names were alluded 10, they elected storm
of applause. One incident at the Jersey
City meeting we cannot refrain from giving.
Governor Jones was interrupted in the
midst of speech by the following query:
Boy in the crowd How many slaves do
you OWN"
Jones---"Nhat do you say sir? How
many slaves DO l own? Not one that is not
better hammered than you. | shall answer
you whether your question be prompted by
older head or not. Cheers. | am not
| ashamed 10 say, as Christian man, that |
am the owner of slaves, but there is not one
whom res pect more than | do those who
pander 10 the damnable prejudices of Sec
tional feeling. Great cheering.1 Gener-
al Scott will redeem every word to which he
has on this point pledged himself to the
Wing party OF the country.

Gen. Pierce's Battles.

Strange as it may seem, the Locofoco pa
pers and orators, boast of Gen. Pierce's
military exploits and dOings. Maj. Jackson,
last Saturday, spoke eloquently, and feel
ingly, (apparently) of the heroic bravery of
Pierce, and was panied to see the Wing
presses taunting him with fainting, when,
with sword in hand, he was urging his
troops on the bloody field of battle, risking
his life in defence of his country!
We beg to call their attention TO the fol-
lowing communication, from the Washing
ton Republic, of the 9Th ultimo-
To The Editor Of The Republic:
SIR: If you will examine the official re-
ports you will see that Gen. Pierce, though
present with the army in the valley of Mex
leo, was personally engaged in not one battle.
| refer you to his own reports, in the mes
sage and accompanying documents for lS47
and 1913.
He fell from or with his horse on the 10Th
August, (day before the battle of ContreraS,
joined his brigade on the morning of 2Oth
fell from pain and exhaustion (same day J
before reaching the field of Churubusco, and
by his own official confession, beyond the
range of the enemy's guns. In the next
battle in order Of time Moline del Rey his
brigade was not engaged. 1t was ordered
up, but according TO Gen. Worth's letter in
answer 10 Gen. SCOTS report did not reach
that bloody field until two hours after the
battle was ended and the enemy entirely
routed.
The next battle was Chapultepec and the
glaritas (gates) OF the city, on the same
day, (September b. "Pierce's brigade
was engaged throughout the day, and with
especial gallantry and success, at Chapulte-
pee; but Gen. Pierce himself was not pres
ent, having been repocted sick. By his own
official report, he joined his brigade, Zone
regiment of it, } at the Garita de Belen, at 4
o'clock on the morning of the 18th of Sep
TENDER, witch was after commissioners
from the city had notified Gen. Quitman,
commanding at the garita, that Santa Anna
had evacuated the city, and that resistance
was ended. Indeed all firing had ceased
the evening previous.
Thus 1t can be proved, by the official re-
cords, that Gen. Pierce, though present with
the army, personally took part in not sim
gle combat in The valley Of Mexico.
1t may have been his misfortune rather
than his fault; and the fact is stated, not tC
prove Gen. Pierce skulker in epaulette'
Ga case of cowardice hardly to be conceiv'
ed but that the claims put forth for his
military services are not well founded, and
indeed, not equal to what you accord to him
will add, what seems to be generally UNI
derstood, that Gen. Pierce joined the army
for the first time at Puebla--l think the day
before the first division marched from tina
place for the city of Mexico.
He resigned his commission and cam'
home on the first train that left Mexico al,
ter the occupation by our troops of that city
some eight or nine nlnnths before The par ga
ended. ONE WHO SAW AND Knows.
