That Diference-AnOther Phase,

Resolvsd, That we are opposed to any Law
for the distribution Of the proceeds Of the
Public Lands as expedient in policy and re-
pugnant to the Constitution Third Reao-
luton, DEM Platform.
Keep it before the people, then. that the
Democratic party are hostile to any liberal
policy in regard to Public Lands. That, true
to this resolution, Democrats in Congress
oppose the bill giving land to actual settlers,
and by their concerted action, keep the bill
from being acted upon.
Keep it before the people, that. in 1889. a
bill came before the Senate Of the United
States providing that, when any Of the pub
lie lands ofthe United States remained un-
sold for the space Of fifteen years, they may
be entered and purchased to the number OF
so acres, by actual settlers,at SO cents an acre
and a vote being had upon that bill, stood

those too were FRANKLIN PIERCE and

Keep it before the people, that, BY their
encouragement Of foreign pauper labor-by
their hostility to our OWE landless ~laborers-
the Democratic party tend to build up an
Aristocracy of Manufactures in England and
an Aristocracy of Land Owners at home:-
thus proving themselves democrats by as
sumption, no: by liberal and polite principles.

The Germans and the Democracy.

We hear a great deal said of Loc ofoco
friendship for the Germans, and We know
that the Germans as body, have heretofore
been deceived into an honest friendship for
the party miscalling itself by the name OF
Democracy" We think. however, that the
time is coming, if it be not now at the very
doors, when the Germans may see that the
moment they cease to be serviceabie instru-
ments in she hands of the Locofocos, these
same Locofocos will turn round and persecute
them. Look, for example, at the past and
present condition of things in Cincinnati. The
Germans of that city have, for years, been
the right arm Of the Democratic party in
Hamilton county. fighting its battles, voting
it's ticket. and bearing down the Wings in
every contest At last the startling discove-
ry was made. a few weeks ago. that the lead
ing men of the Democratic party in that coun-
ty, had banded themselves together in Sc
cret political organization. the objects, the
name, and even the existence Of which, were
10 be kept hid from the mass of the party.
The Association was called the miami Tribe
it met at midnight, and with guards at the
door, proceeded TO nominate candidates for
Offices high and low, from Congressman and
Judges down to the tail of the county ticket
The nomination being thus made in secret
the Tribe went to work, unsuspected,tO force
them upon the people. Nomination Con-
ventions were called according to party usage,
and the people selected delegates to represent
them; but the secret machinery was brought
to bear, and the nominations of the Tribe
were sure to be the nominations of the Con-
vention. The people were mere tools, with
out knowing it, in the hands of corrupt and
selfish demagogues, banded together and ac-
ting in the DARK for the purpose of keeping
themselves in Office and every body else out.
When this "infernal machine" was exposed !;
when its iniquitous purposes were dragged in
to the light and looked at. it and its authors
were Indignantly execrated by hundreds of
Democrats, and among the rest by Charles
Reemelin, a leading German Democrat of
Cincinnati-a man of more mind, perhaps,
than anv other individual Of his party in Ham
ilton county He resolved 20 support no can
didate for Office who was member of the
miami Tribe" and hundreds Of his German
friends followed his example.
What is the consequence? Do the so-call-
ed Democracy now any longer pet them ?
No verilv Persecution, denunciation and
abuse followed them everywhere. For the
crime of attempting to address public NEE
ting of German Democrats one day last week,
in the streets of Cincinnati, Reemelin was
eqged and driven from the stand This is
Locofocoism: and this is the respect with
which the Locofoco party will treat ''our Ger

who oppose Gen. scottf

It is a common remark, that you may
know man by his friends. You can tell
something about him By noticing who are his
enemies. Gen. Scott has various opponents.
The Rev. Mr.. Brownlow opposes him be-
cause he caused the churches and religious
services of the Catholics in Mexico to be res
pected by his soldiers. And all supporters of
the Religious Test in New Hampshire and
ascertained bigots everywhere follow the lead
of the Rev. Mr.. Brownlow.
The London Times opposes him because
"Gen. Pierce will be valuable practical ally
to the commercial policy of England" by
which ireland has been ruined, and America
seriously injured. And the capitalists and
landholders in England follow the lead Of the
London Times.
Messrs. Tombs and Stephens oppose him
policy of his administration than the known
incidents of long life," and they looked
through them, and can find nothing that indi-
Gates any leaning towards their views. And
the Southern Secessionists follow the lead of
Messrs. Toombs and Stephens.
The Philadelphia Sun oppose him because
abe is disposed to grant, too many privileges
TO foreigners" And Natvists everywhere
follow the lead of the Philadelphia Sun.
The Mexicans and Canadians oppose him
because they think "he is too much of a
military man."
The South Carolina and Frontier malcon-
tents oppose him because they think he is too
much of Peace man.
The Snags and Sawyers and Shoals and
Breakers in the Rivers and Harbors oppose
him because they know that if he is elected
they will have to move.
Loco Foco ofice-holders, here and there
oppose him for the same reason.
And the greater part of the Loco Foco
party follow their lead, simply because they
are Loco Focos, without knowing why or
wherefore. Wilson's Field Piece

To Wings EEerEWhere.

It is a safe rule in moral as well as in ply.
sieial conflicts, never to nnderrate the strength
of the enemy. This rule should not for a
moment be absent from the reccollecsion of
the Wing party during the campaign. We
have supposed, however, that since General
Pierre was not prominent candidate prior
TO the assembling of the Baltimore Conven-
ton, and resides in a small and border Com
mon wealth, our Wing friends in the Central,
Western and Southern States may be suppo-
sing the exertons in his behalf will therefore
be less than if he were located in more cen
trail and favorable position. As to the exer-
tion being made in his behalf in other Sec
tions of the Union, the Wings residing in
those portions know better than we. But
our position is such as warrants US in saying
that the utmost exertions are being made
here, by as inscriptions and ravenous set
of politicians as ever had being in the land, to
produce result which all good Wings de-
sire to avert There are probably at least Eve
hundred men in New Hampshire. who. should
General Pierce be chosen, expect TO have
prominent political stations abroad, saying
nothing of as many more who are on the look
out for the crumbs to be gained from conn
missions as postmasters and other small off,
ees within the bounds of New Hampshire
The Locofocos of this State are born with an
instinct for Office, and il never dies out; and
should such an event take place az the elec-
tion>of General Pierce, they will on the 4th
of March, 1853, be as plentiful and trouble
some at Washington as the lice of Egypt
Concord is now the head quarters of all
the prominent politicians of the State. More
or less of them areconstantly coming and
going, and they regularly elect Pierce and
King, almost without a struggle, at each
meeting of the Club. Strangers arrive in
the course of the day at Gass', are taken into
the meeting, and not only name the States
going for them, but the precise malorities by
which they will be carried, The most active
correspondence is kept up with all parts of
the country--three-fourths of the LocofOco

The Cincinnati Gazette says the following
account of Pierce is found in a number OF
the Philadelphia Saturday Courier, published
in September ls47. The Courier is a neu-
trail paper: s-t-s4 -
"Keenlv looking to the future. and fearing
a peace which would disband the volunteers,
he refused to accept the genralship unless he
received with his commission, sir mnnths fill

where he was practicing attorney.

MAJOR GENERAL WINFILD ScoTT-Ptfers-
5argA Va, august 16, 1sI4.-This gallant
soldier, who has not yet attained his thirtielh
year, is a native OF this County (Dinwiddie.) J
In this State be received his education and
IFS last polish at the College of William and
Mary. With skill. diligence, perseverance,. and
unriYalled eloquence he practiced the law for
a short time in the adjacent counties. But
his great soul aspired to deeds of arms!"
He entered in the service of his country in
1908, and with the commission of captain of
light artillery, and in a short time joined the
Southern army under Gen. Wilkinson. His
arrest, the charges against him, and his un-
paraIleled defence on that occasion. have long
since been before the public. This noble de-
fence convinced the cabinet at Washington,
and the world at large, that he was the schOI-
ar, the politician, and the soldier. Since
then, no man has ascendeG the military lad
der with more resplendent rapidity than has
Winfield Scott-tWo more rounds, and he
will have topped the climax of military honor |!
Glowing with friendship, veneration and
pride, for this brave soldier, number Of cit
izsns Of PetersLugh, as we are informed, have
resolved to have made an elegant SWORD,
with appropriate devices, TO be presented to
the hero of ChippeWa and Brid9ewGtpr,
In his hands we are confident that it never
will be drawn but in defence of his country's
rights, and never tarnished but by the blood
of our foes.

It's proper 10 remark that toward the end
of the session, the Locofocos became alarmed
at the vast armyi Of retainers that were hang
ing about them, and by their persuation, or
threats, few of these extra retainers were
discharged. Il is ealy by inspection of the
TreasuFer's books and seeing how much pay
each one received, that we can tell whether
any thing, or how much should be deducted
from this sum. It will not materially lessen
