PIES"
General Pierce is entirely acceptable to
the VAN BURENs-father and son-and with
their Freesoll tail they will no doubt ex-
ercise a commanding influence in his ad-
minlstration, in the event Of his election.
Are these men less powerful, less adroit,
less cunning. less influential in their own
ranks, than Mr.. SEWARD among the Whigs2
They have succeeded, with the aid Of Mr..
SoULE, Mr.. FoRsYTH, and the Secession
lists, in securing the very candidate they
desired, the very man whose nomination
they were prepared to hail with "perfect
gust of enthusiasm" They have nominated
Il man who not only "deplores," but one who
.'hates" slavery in New HAMPsHIRE; and
who is yet SO far all things to all men, and
particularly to Southern men, that he is the
very pattern statesman for Mr.. Dan and the
State Rights Democrats of SOUTH CAROLINA!
And can reasoning and reasonable men for q
moment lend credence TO the idea that
Northern man with Southern principles" who
deplores and hates slavery. and who loathes
the Fugitive Slave law-selected and support

We advise all who desire to understand the
precise import and significance of this mad dog
cry Of Abolition against General Scorr, to re-
cur to the newspapers of 1910, and review the
war that was waged against General HARRI-
SON. Then let them run their eye over the
proceedings Of the Buffalo Convention, and of
the Nashville Convention, and the speeches of
the leading supporters of General PIERCE, be-
fore the people and in Congress, for the last
few years. On full review of all these mat
tiers, we cannot but think that on all questions
which concern the peace and prosperity of the
Union-rathert than trust General PIERCE with
his Nashville and Buffalo associates-they
will be persuaded that true patriotism and con-
servatism and love of the Union require of
them to work and vote for the man who is
"dead for the Union-dead for the Consti-
tution-dead for the Compromise DEAD
AGAINST ANY MAN WHO IS OPPOSED TO THEM
OR ETHER OF THEM"

Iowa.


We have not received any intelligence from
this State of later date than that received by
telegraph and published in our paper of Sat
urday. But authentic returns since received
together with statements made by our contem
poraries, founded upon other and perhaps later
telegraphic accounts, lead to surmise that the
election may not have been so favorable to the
Wings as has been reported. The Galena
.Aduertiser of the 9Th instant says:
1T 10 probable that Montgomery and CARRIER
Wings. elected Represe ntatives in Clayton
county; and it 10 reported that Harrison, Wing.
has about 500 majority for the Senate. Alamakce,
likewise, gave large Wing majority, considering
its age. = r.
ut is probable that the Wings have not carried
either branch of the Iowa Legislature, though
they have taken strong step towards it. At the
last accounts, twenty nine Of the new members
elected were ascertaincd to be Whigs.''
In the last Legislature the Wings had only
five members in each House.
A telegraphic despatch of the following tenor
appears in the New York papers, dated at
Cleveland, Ohio, the 18th instant:
'Further returns from Iowa leave no doubt of
the election to Congress, from the first district OF
Bernhardt Hem, Democrat. The Democrat s have
also carried their State ticket by about 200 ma
jority il thought that the Legislature will like
wise be strongly Democratic
In few days the smoke of this election
will have cleared away, when we shall be able
to give positive results instead of speculations.

The Right Course.

The following letter from Colonel MINOR, OF
Ascension, Louisiana, corrects certain rumors
which have been circulated respecting change
in his political views, and exhibits wise as
well as honorable fidelity to party obligations.
We find the letter in the New Orleans Delta:
New RIVER, August 8, 1852.
CHAs. M. WATERMAN. ESQ.,, President Scott Ran.
gers, New Orleans
DEAR Sin: My attention has been called to an
article in the Louisiana Courier Of the goth ultirno
headed " Changes" in which the editor quotes
from letter written by gentleman of this par
ish, who, after much honeyed commentator, as
serts that am one Of the Wings of Ascension who
will not support Scott for President This ia an
error, and as 1t has been published with some pa
rade, it ought, perhaps, to be corrected 1t is true
the writer has hoped the Wings would have hon
ored themselves and the Office by placing the first
intellect of the age in the Presidential chair. As
Southern man, Union man, and American,
he was disappointed that Mr.. Webster did not re-
ceive the nomination Of the National Wing Con-
vention for the Presidency. Nevertheless, he will
give the nominees Of the convention q hearty sup
port, as he believes four ffths Of those will do who
mentioned in the article referred to as seceders
from the Wing ranks.
With all the erudition, literary taste, and horse
sense for which the correspondent Of the Courier
80 kindly gives Inc credit, must confess myself
at a loss to understand how gentlemen, who are
Wings upon principle, can refuse to vote the Wing
ticket, merely because the nominees ure not the
men they would have selected. Still lees cnn
comprehend how they can vote tbe Democratic
ticket, and aid in carrying out measures and gus
tanning principles against which they have warrcd
for years.
Those who hesitate to support General Scott be
cause of honest doubts TO soundness on the
"Compromise acts,' can have those doubts re-
moved by reading General Quitman's letter in the
Natchez Free Iradsr of the oath utimo ON that
subject. In that letter Quitman says, on the sub.
ject of slavery, he would sooner trust Scott than
Webster or Fillmore. And yet men of both par
ties admit these gentlemen are sound to the core
on that subject. In the same letter he says: $50
far from Scott being controlled by Seward, no
lnan-not the whole Wing party--coud control
Scott against his convictions" Thus it ia seen
that General Quitman, with the frankness ever
characteristic of true soldier, has publicly cx-
pressed his opinion of the soundness of the Wing
nominee on the southern question; and scorus to
endorse, even by silence, the ISLANDERS that have
been published against HE old commander and
brother arms. Very respectfully,
W. j. Minor.

A Speck OF War.

From private letter received in this city a
day or two since we have been furnished with
the following extract:
"We had challenge delivered in our neigh
borhood yesterday which has caused great excite.
ment. PAuLus POWELL, the member Of Congress
from this district, has been sending GENrays
speech about ScoTT, &C., to all the Wines in the

DR.. CARR sent letter to POWELL, castigating him
very severely for using his position TO thrust

the castigation that challenge was sent by Pow.
