A. LETTER FROM Hon. J. A. PEAGcE.
On our last page our readers will
find an admirable letter from Mr..
Pearcr. Z. s. Senator from this State,
in which he states what he knows about
Gen. Scott's position on the Compro-
mise Measures. at the time they were
in agitation in Congress. Read the let
ter--it is from true Marylander and a
true man. Who cares If Ned Long
and a Tingle or 50, 60 against Gen.
Scott, when such men as James AL fred
Prarce are supporting him so earnestly.
MOVEMENTS OF GEN. ScoTr.-Gen.
Scott has gone to the West by order of
the government, to select a site for
Military Asylum. He passed by Pitts
burg. Cleveland and Columbus, and
along the way, al every town and stop
ping place, the people met him in crowds,
and in the highest spirit Of enthusiasm.
He has completely walked Ohio up, and
the opposition press, becoming alarmed
at the excitement he is causing, are
abusing him roundly for going on an
rlrct,oneerlng tour; at the same time
they know he is sent on an official err
rand. How is he to blame if the peo-
pie 90 follow him $50 they followed
him long ago, as, for instance. when he
went to Maine to settle the boundary diff
fcuIties and prevent war.
We are satisfied that the loco press
should abuse him:-so they abused
Harrison, and so they abused Taylor;
but the people were with both of them,
aud they are with Scott.
In another column we give a speech
made by the old hero at Columbus. He
spoke like a man and a true American
He was severe upon his traducprs and
SO he ought to have been. Turn and
read his speech, and be convinced that
he can speak aS well DIS fight.
Hon. EDWARD LoNG.-A few wears
ago :hls gentleman. living i'll strong
Wing district, lett The locotocos and
joined the Wings. By some means he
got on the Wing ticket for Congress,
and was barely elected, not having d
fourth Of the common whig majority in
the district. He was h ard case while
a locotoco, and the wings failed to make
sober man of him. In l94S he came
near leaving the wings again. because,
they took up Taylor in place OF Scott.
Since then he has had difference with
some OF the leading wings Of his district
which damaged his prospects IN the
wing party; and now we find him leav-
ing 'he wings because they nominated
Scott; ust what he wanted them ia do
IN '4S. The locos boast of his reunion
with th"n -.-!h-y are welcome to him,
and we nope they may keep him.
Town PRopERTY.-The "cock and
bull' story about the heirs Of one John
Concoa having a claim to certain houses
and lots in Elkton, which have been
pointed out as identified, is moonshine.
JOHN Concoa once owned some propei-
~ here, but it was sold from him by the
High Sheriff Of Cecil county, on Judge
ment obtained by the State of Maryland,
in 1896, and the present owners trace
their titles back to the Sheriff's deed;
but the old Washington Hotel was ney.
cr part OF Concoa's property.
