Coming to his MIX.

Weare glad to see the editor of the Times
has at last summoned the courage, or had it
whipped into him, to republish Gen. SCOTS
letter in which speaking of foreigners, the
General says-"certainly it would be impos-
sible for me to recommend or support any
measure intended to exclude them (or-
eigners) from just and full participation in
all civil and political rights now secured to
them by our republican laws and institiu-
tons" We have hopes that the Times man
is hot altogether incorrigible-as he has at
least once been induced to render in long
deferred justice in one small particular. We
shall endeavor to make him continue his
good work. To do so, would it not be well
for him to keep this letter standing so long as
he publishes the other. We do not even
ask him to put conspicuous or any head at
all overi it, or to make it blaze in staring cap
itals, as he does the other letter.

"Straws show which way the wind blows"
That Gen. Pierce was not incorrectly report
ed in his New Boston speech his Democratic
friends we'll know, yet that gust of WI nd might
well have been expected from the move
ment of certain straws in Gen. Pierce's past
history. The Louisville Journal of Saturday,
proves by the documents, that while in Con-
gress Gen. Pierce voted against bill grant
ING permission to an owner of two slaves
who were living in Virginia to bring them to
his home in the District of Columbia. This
reasonable request and so entirely free from
all objection, was passed by vote of LOG to
47-and in the minority was found the name
of Gen. Pierce, and thus far ibid he carry
his anti-slavery opinions. The Journal says
ave are not at all surprised to find man.
who thus voted in Congress, declaring years
afterwards to his own people in New Hamp-
shire that he hates and abhors slavery, tnat
he considers it an outrage upon the mora
sense of the whole world, and that he always
feels loathing of the heart at seeing fell
iow-creature in bondage. Nothing short o
such a mortal antipathy to slavery or slave
holders or both could have impelled him, a:
one of little band of forty-seven, to give
the vote recorded above.

Fire at Louisville.

This morning about half past l o'clock, a
fire broke out in the extensive foundry of
rIessrs Lawson g. Franck, on the corner OF
9th and Main streets, which was entirely
destroyed, together with its contents.
The fire spread with great rapidity and
many of the adjoining buildings were en-
tirely consumed.
The whole square was at one time in i'm
minent danger, but by the timely arrival OF
the firemen the flames were checked.
The fire is supposed to be the work of an
incendiary.
Owing to the lateness of the hour we were
unable 10 learn the extent of the loss.
P. S. We learn that several thieves
were arrested while attempting to steal ar,
ticles which had been lain in the street.

THOS. SLOAN, Chm'n.
w. Ii. p. SToDDARD, Sec'y.

AwFuL.-The Louisville Times recon-
mends a Mr.. Holt as a proper man to fill the
vacancy in the Louisville district caused by
the resignation of Hon. III. Marshall, as Con-
gresham. This paper says:
"True, he is an answering Democrat: he
is a true expounder of the great principles
upon which the Democratic party is founded
but we point to his whole course of life, for
the propriety and forbearance that have mark
ed his treatment of adversaries, whom his sar-
casm might wither, and his eloqusnce over
whelm, but whom his generosity and noble
nature have ever torbone to crush"
Oh my! In what dreadful condition
must his adversaries be p.aced--dependent
entirely upon Mr.. lIolt's generosity and no.
bic nature to escape being withered, over
whelmed and crushed! Terrible man. May
we not hope the Wings will avoid this gene
raj humiliation by letting him 60 to Con-
gress! But, candidly, we don't think they
ought to permit so ferocious being to enter
Congress, where in moment of wrath he
might wither, overwhelm and crush, every
Wing in that boa y, without any compunction
of his generous conscience and noble nature
Hold him in!

of the acts known as the Compromise mea-

is opposed to humanity. Yes, it is opposed
to moral right

A MODEL MINIsTER.-A few miles from
Driflield, England, resides a clergyman, who
contrary to the practice ofhis brethren,neve
receives from any fees OK marriages, church
ings, or funerals, from either the affiuent or
poor. In the case of n funeral recently, on
being offered the ordinary fee, he said, IL dc
not want to live By the dead" Although
only curate, with-a salary perhaps not
very much exceeding that of the 1.-The Man
of Ross" who was ''passing rich with forty
pounds year," this reverend gentleman not
only foregoes the lawful perquisites of his
situation, but is, in addition to this, very IL
beral to the poorer parishioners. 1t is an es-
tabhshed rule with him to give blanket to
every poor woman i'll the parish just after
her confinement.

were game, fish, frogs, &c. &C., spelling

New INvENTIoN.-Mr. II. Z. Smith OF
the Eagle Restaurant and Geo. w. Reid,
are about bringing out new machine called
the Great Western Corn Smelling and Sack
ing Machine, which promises to distance ev-
cry thing in that line now in use. We have
seen the Machine in its unfinished state and
so far as we are capable of jud sing, we think
it must equal the most-sanguine expectations
of the inventors. Mr.. Smith informs Us that
they will be ready by Tuesday evening to
test the capacity and qualities of the ma
chine, we shall therefore defer any furthe
remarks on the subject until that time
They have already taken the preliminary
steps toobtain letters patent" for the new
machine.

Cen Pierce and the Fugitive slave Law

The Times labors under mistake in say
ing that on the authority of the Louisville
Journal, we stated that Gen. Pierce loathed
the Fugitive Slave Law. &c. We stated so
on the authority of Gen. Pierce's oUn uordS.
as delivered at apubIic meeting in New Bos-
ton, and reported in two Democratic papers,
and never denied in all their length and
breadth till they were copied into the Wash
ington Republic, which was after the nomi-
nation of Gen. Pierce for the Presidency
consider this entirely too serious charge to
go undenied, and that they have labored and
are laboring strenuously to prove Gen. Pierce
never used such language. First, they got
ont four letters stating that Gen. Pierce did
not use the language. The writer's of two of
these letters confessed they were not at the
meeting, The other two were interested
evidence.
This not working well, persons were sent
to New Boston, to hunt around the superbs
and in allies, and down cellars, and up lofts, to
get the name of Tom, Dick and Harry, at
tached to paper stating they were at tine
New Boston meeting, and they didn't hear
Gen. Pierce thus speak of the Fugitive
Slave Law. Before this document was pub.
lished Democratic paper at New Boston no.
tilted the public that a committee was around
at just such places as we stated, getting
aft 10 IS 81,
and that the word of half the men signed to
it would doubtless be such as would not be
believed at home on oath This preciou:
document is now going the rounds of the op
position press.
The papers which originally published thu
report of Gen. Pierce's speech, have come
out and pledged their words to the truth of th
report. The Reporters, one of whom is
Baptist minister in good standing, swore be
fore magistrate that the rep~rt of Gen. I. =
words was correct, as they had made it out
and as it was pablished, and that Gen. Pierc
did declare he loathed this law, AMI reparde
it as opposed to moral right, &c. There ar
columns of other evidence, which we stan
ready TO give, proving the correctness of thes
charges. But theseDemocratc editors do no
disbeHeve WORD of it, no matter how muc
they try to deceive their readers Before U
IS one Democratic paper, the Cleyean
Plaindealer, which has the candor to adm
the truth of the charge. The Louisville Den
ocrat, only few days ago, made the same ad
mission. The Democratic game, howevel
appears to be to circulate the reports Of Ger
'Pierce's New Boston speech in Free Soil rC
gions, and endeavor to make capital on h
Free Soil opinions, but in other places to den
he ever made such speech. This game vi
scarcely win.
