Great activity prevails in and about the
marque of General Pierce at Concord, n. Ii.
PIlgrlmages are numerous to theDemocratC
Chief, from the Fait!ul and the Expectants
from all parts of the country, and all is hustle
and activity. The Concord Statesman gives
a sketch o. the machinery in operation at
Gen. Pierce's headquarters, and of some Of

Democratic enthusiasm, and the guidance oil

ner of"Yankee tricks and seem disposed to
devote themselves entirely to the use of the
means required to elect Pierce. We give be-
low an extract from one Of the Statesman
sketches:
Oar position is such as warrants US in say
ing the utmost exertions are being made here
by as unscrupulous and ravenous Il set of po-
liticians as ever had being in the land, to
produce the result which all good Wings
desire to avert. There are probably at least
five hundred man in New Hampshire who,
should General Pierce be chosen, expect te
inc nothing of as many more who are on the
lookout for the crumbs to be CLEANED from
commissions as postmasters and other small
offices within the bounds OF New Hampshire.
The LocofocCs of this State are born with
an instinct for Office, and it never dies out;
and, should 'such an event take place as the
election of Gen. Pierce, they viil on the 4th
OF March, 1858, be as plentiful and trouble

Concord is now the head quarters Of all

course OF the day at Cas5s, are taken into

A BaSe EOrCerY.

We notice that the Times generally cheats
its readers out of nearly three columns of
original reading matter every issue, by pub
fishing over and over again certain things
the authorship of which it imputes to Gen.
Scott Provided its readers are willing to
submit to the imposition, and are willing to
pay for it, ioe have no cause of complaint,
excepting this, in which every honest man
has the same thing to censure: That one
article headed "Gen. Scott's Naturalization
Law" and reading as if it were law or bill
drawn up by Gen. Scott, and intended to in
jure him with foreigners seriously-is base
forgery. Gen. Scott had nothing more to do
with the getting up of that than had General
Pierce, and probably not Sd much as the edi-
tor of the Times. Now, the man who en-
graves and prints counterfeit bank notes, is
no more criminal than the man who takes
them from his hands and passes them upon
IN unsuspecting public. The rascal who
FORCES the name of responsible man to a
paper, is no more deserving of punishment
and infamy, than he who knowing the paper
is forgery, passes it from his hands, and re-
ceives the cash demanded by its face. Now,
tee individual who concocted this "Natural.za-
ton Law," and imputed its authorship to
Gen. Scott, is as bad man as he who
would counterfeit bank bills, forge note, or
repu6lish the "Law" knO,eing it to be forge
ry. Gen. Scott would no doubt rather have
five hundred dollars worth Of counterfeit bills
passed on him, or his note forged for that
amount, than to have his felow-citizens
throughout the country believe he was the
author of that "Law.'
Now we by no means say the acting editor
Of the Times kno,rs he is republishing for
gerry. We should dislike to entertain such
an opinion of him, and to have such crim-
nal opinion formed of him by those to whom
he is almost an entire stranger, as would be
formed of him if it were thought he knew
the real character of this precious document.
In charity, we impute it to rank ignorance
probably ignorance criminal in its grossity-
yet ignorance after all, for which no man
should be. punished, except for not. taking
measures to get the proper knowledge, or for
permitting 1T to father dishonorable acts
We advise the young man to investigate
the matter. He will then find, there is not
particle of evidence to sustain the charge
of Scott being the author of this Law
If he can find the evidence, it is due his readers
that it be given them, and they should as
honest citizens demand the evidence or the
withdrawal of the offensive article. A great
many Wings, DESTROYS of seeing two papers
kept up here, are subscribers for the Times
and would like to continue so-but We do not
think they will submit to having this insult
thrown in their faces as well as in their doors
three times week, without pology or de-
fence.

| The Evansville Times is by no means the
first Locoloco paper in this city, which not
being able to sustain single position, or dis
prove our facts and arguments, or do ordina-
ry justice to its own party, has sought relief
in complaining that we abused and black
guarded it. We have become accustomed
to this, get though repeatedly called bad
names, and some times made the subject of
charges which if true might render us as de-
serving of the penitentiary as those who
originated the charges-we have never made
practice of complaining of Locofoco abuse
and defamation. The citizens OF Evans
vile know something of what we have en-
countered in this way, and they can at the
same time bear witness of the perfect free
dom of this paper from such expressions as
CRATE harshly on refined ears. We have no
desire to appear lrorse man in public than
IN private life, and we nerer make use of such
expressions privately which any man might
be ashamed to publish to the world in paper.
The associate of the Times, who in the
| absence of his protector, is taking unwar-
rantable liberties with the English language
and good manners, says that just as he antci-
pated, we replied to an ''atcle' of his sin a
TRADE of personal epithets and abuse, of that
particular low-fung character, which has ev-
er given him among his contemporaries the
unenviable position of natural JLactguard."
| Now we should like to know single disa-
greeablc epithet or what abuse we were gull
ty of in this response! The offence is alone
in the conscience of the young man, who
must have felt he dsserrod pretty severe cpl
thets and abuse for very contemplate ar
ticle As we DO not care about fright
ening him out of his propiety and common
sense any further, we shall let him alone till
the arrival of his semi gives US metal LiHIe
better worthy of our steel.

0~- The editor ofthe Democrat thinks
that the Democratic House of Representa-
tives, in passing the river and harbor bill,
violated the constitution, but he consoles him
self with the thought that it didn't UiOlate The
Democratic platform. So, according to him,
the platform resolution prohibiting a general
system of internal improvements, does not
prohibit an indefinite number appropriations
for rivers and harbors all over the country.
Now we ask if there could be more pal

form resolution about internal Improvements
is as meaningless as blank sheet of paper,

General scott.

| Gen. Winfield Scott has now been nearly
two months before the people, as the WING
candidate for the Presidency in 1852. Du-
ring that time he has been assailed with a
virulence probably not excelled, by all the
defamation and abuse showered upon Henry
Clay eight years ago. Charges the most
proposterous, and charges too Of serious ma
ture, have been made against him by unscru-
pulous opponents. His past life from boy
hood has undergone the severest scrutiny, and
the best actions of glorious history sought
to be perverted into almost disgraceiul deeds
Even his courage has been doubted, his hon
esty impeached, and abilities of q transcend
ant nature ridicued All this has been done
in but brief period, and with more than
mere party rancor. 1t is folly to suppose
that brains fertile in rascality, and jealous
in hat ed and thrice urged on by ravenous
appetite for spoils, will not continue their
SANDERS in every shape and form tin after the
day of election.
But what has been accomplished at last
against the great hero! What one honest
minded and thinking man has been induced
by these SANDERS to change the admiration he
has felt from bovhood for the name OF Win
field Scott, or the firm confidence in his
high ability and honest integrity Who has
been made to believe that Gen. Scott is any
less great man than he viewed him before
he received the nomination of the Wing con-
vention! Are the people TO be made to be-
lieve. that because G. en-. Scott did receive this
nomination, that the preference of his friends
has furnished all his past glory. and blinded
the gratitude of his country! The fact is,
until it was believed Gen. Scott would re-
ceive the nomination of the Convention.
Democratic editors as we'll as Wing editors,
were in the habit of alike speaking loud in
the praise of Scott. No,c, the motives for
abusing him are apparent, and the people or
any potion of them, will be foolish indeed to
allow themselves to be influenced in any de-
gree by Locoioco ISLANDERS, except to indg-
nantly repel them.
nc democrats are h9HtH5 WIFI lIdt ues-
peration and with those desperate weapons,
which show plainly they anticipate defeat,
and only hope to escape it by extraordinary
efforts. But, they cannot succeed in impair
iag the glory of Scott, or forcing the people
to forget his past services for his country, or
convincing them that he will not make a
very good President, an Unnecessarily better
one than would Gen. Pierce.
