Well,, If tho Democrats ore roused by such capers
as they wore in the Polk campaign, they need not

thunder before they have done with it. Bettor keep

Gen. Pierce's Battles.— Tho Washington flppwMic
says that it appears,by tho ofticlal list of.oflicors who
marched with tho army from Puebla upon tho city
of Mexico, the 71h,811i, Olh, and 10th of August, 1847,
that Ocn. Franklin Picrco woo In tho battle pf Con*

«TIIE GALLANT GEN*
Gen.-Scott, in ono of his official reports' during
the Mexican war, spoalta of tlio noble conduct dT
Gen. Fierce in ono of tho-hard fought battles,
as tfio “ Gallant General Pierce.” •_ But yof, not*
withstanding this endorsement, tho Federal papers,
as is their custom, sneer at Gon.jP’r. military eorvi*
cob, and ono paper before us overt - goes bo far as to
say that v ho exhibited “cowardlbo” oh tho field of
battle. The editor who mokes Ibis charge wo hap»
pen to know personally* arid could* wero ws bo dis
posed, answer him in a manner ho would not much
relish, Our respect for those to whom bo is closely
allied, however, induces us to withhold this editor’s
name from tho public. llit grand-father tout a Tbry
during the tear of the Resolution, and was only saved
from an Ignominious death by peace being declared
at tho time it was. The editor himself, and his
father before him, wero opposed to tho Mexican war*
and stigmatized oar bravo troops os “robbers” and
•’cut throats,” And this descendant of traitors and
Tories is tho first man in Pennsylvania, (and wo hope
ho may bo tho labt,) to make a charge of cowardice
against Gen. Pierce—a charge as false ae it is ma*
Heioua and villainous.
No man engaged in the war with Mexico exhibit*
cd more gallantry, and bravetry than Gon. Pierobt-
I ho was engaged la several' hafd fought battles, and
oven continued in action long after ho should have
retired from tho field., -To use tho words of Gen<
Scott, “Brigadier General 1 Fierce, from tho hart of
the evening before, under pain and exhaustion, fainted
in the action.” T)o make a charge of cowardice
against Gen. Pierce, therefore, is so supremely rl
’ diculous’as id bo scarcely -‘worthy of notice, but when
this charge is mudo by tho descendant of a lory of the
Resolution, It is only entitled to contempt. 1
, A Good Suggestions
At the Baltimore Convention,"someenterprising
business man circulated a handbill, addressed to tlio
members of the Convention, in which tho advertiser
called the attention of the delegates (o a now mode
of making cost iron pipe. Captain Reeder arose
and said that Iho document had evidently got into tho
wrong cohvonlion—that tho democrats had no occa
sion for eoch appliances ns pipe-laying, ond ho sug
gested the appointment of a committee to transfer tho
copica to the whig con Vcnliort which meets on Iho
IGtli instant. The suggestion was received with
much merriment and cries of “Agreed, agreed.”
THE VOICE OF A PATRfOT.

Lancaster, Juno 10,1852. 1 ,
Bin, In answer to your lelographiodospatch, it af-1
forda mo pleasure to declare that Pierce and King I
shall receive my cordial support. They are both I
devoted to tho good old causo of Bloto rights demo
cracy, and are worthy to load the democratic forces'
to victory. Men are but tho creatures of a day.
whilst principles ore eternal. A democrat is un
worthy oflho name who would not waive his personal
preferences among good men for tho sake of the lime
honored principles of his parly.
Yours, very respectfully,
JAMES BUCHANAN.

Parson Brownlow, of the Joncaboro (Tonn ) Whig,
keeps hammering away at tho Whig candidates in
expectancy, in fine style. He says—-
“ Wo shall deem it a duty wo owo to the

men who can defeat Scott ond Jones, provided Iho
j»Ui a party arc corrupted reckless enough ivlhcnst.

ORBELT OS* SCOTT IN 1848.
Tho N. y. Mirror says that in a letter lo a politi
cian in the interior of New York, previous lo the
appointment of delegates lo tho National Convention
in 1848, Horace Grocly wrote in this wise :
•• Send a delegate lo the Convention, if you can,
for Clay; Ifnol lor Clay, for Corwin; if not for Cor
win,for Seward; If not for Seward, for Taylor.—
But last of all for Scoll. Scott is a vain conceited
coxcomb of a roan. His brains, all that ho has, ore
in his epaulets, and if ho should be elected Prccidenl,
ho would tear tho whig parly into tatters in less than
six months."
(£7*Tho Boston Post says Tlio Philadelphia U.
S. Gazette has a loader in favor of military chief-
tains. Opposition lo them was an essential whig
principle in Gen. Jackson’s lime. Now tho Gazette
thinks no body as good as they are—provided (hey
arc not democrats.
Another Jlichmond in the Field.—A corres
pondent of the Baltimore Patriot warmly urges
upon the friends of Scott and Fillmore lo follow
the example of their political opponents, and nom
inate a compromise candidate; and ho suggests tho
Hon. James A. Pearce,.the present able and popu
lar Whig Senator from Maryland-, os a highly
suitable person to unite upon as that candidate.
q3* Tho Pennsylvanian , in giving a biographies!
sketch of Gen, Pierce, says ho “has boon Governor
o( Now Hampshire. 11 This is an error—almost as
great tin error as the same paper made a
since, when it staled thal M James Buchanan practiced
law In Kentucky in 1819. 11 Tho editor of the Penn •
sylvanian is not very well “looked up 11 in regard lo
tho public men of this country, wo take it.
Gen. Pierce—The Fkelino— Tho Democracy ap

(cd. The ringing of bolls, firing of cannon, and
shouts and huzzas, ore some of tho symptoms of tho
joy ihoy S oxporicnco that tho difficulty at Baltimore,
which threatened their destruction at tho next Pres

settled.

The Lone Star.— There has been much inquiry
as to who was (ho man that in the late Democratic
Convention, voted nil alone, on nearly every ballot,
for Mr. Dickinson, of Now York. It is staled that
this firm friend of Mr. D. was Gov.Branoh, formerly
of Not Hi Carolina, but now of Florida.
Gen. Pierce was present at most of the hardest
fought battles In Mexico, under Gon. Scott, and
exhibited all tho qualities of a good soldier. Few
oflmorß in tho army wero eo beloved by their soldiers
as Gon. Pierce was by his. Ho was kind and liber
al towards iJiom, and many Incidents Illustrative of
this trail in tiia character have been told. Al Iho
clogoof tho war ho returned to his old homo, and
resumed tho law practice.
There is no.bollcr evidence of tho strength, pop.
clarity, nnd standing of General Fierce, than may
bo found in tho abuse heaped upon him by tho Whig
papers.

THE PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRACY*
Wo extract tbo following beautiful paßaagp* from
tlio remarks made by . Col. Samuel B. B!aok, of
Pittsburg, lb (ho recent Democratic National'Con
vention. made just previous lo tbo* delegation from
Pennsylvania casting .(bo unanimous. vote .of,the
Slato for Gonoral Pierce: • ,
■ The Democracy or Pennsylvania hold principles
Ijigher than all other considerations. Men may die
—but eternal yoard nro tho lifo lira®. of truth; i Wo i
yield to tho action of tho Convention not: .Without ,
sorrow, but nevertheless, a most willing ohodloqep, .
and pledge a full and faithful struggle in every |ftrt
of Pennsylvania to him whom tho representatives dr {
tile people havb chosen. It is ah easy thing in .the ox«
ciloraenl and oxhiliration of a heart thrilling with
pleasure, to promise much that cannot bo pot formed
But when men pledge thomsohred in sadness they
never foil. The'antntued'lrcarl never keeps tho wofd
of promise to tho oar and breaks U to tho hope.
• • « Tho person who addresses you wqs
born, and lives on tho banks of the Monongahela
river. The river bears an Indian name, of which
the interpretation is, without, on Island.
From its source -in Virginisp-to its termination at

This nomination sprang from Virginia, and through

Tho gallant and unfaltering Stale, where Uio Dem

has given another President to tho Union.
It was tho custom of the Saracen, on tho plains
of tho East, to hang his brightest diamonds on tho

improved Credit*
The bids for «io loan ofsBso,ooD for lbs complo
tion ofllie North Branch canal, says tho Harrisburg 1
Union, wOro opened al Iho office of Iho Secretary ofj
Iho Commonwealth, on Saturday, when it was found |
that iho bids offered would havo amounted to about |
ten rniWfons, nearly all of which was below five per j
cent. Tho successful bidders wero C, H. Fislier, of
Philadelphia, Duncan, Sherman &Co.,'N. Y., and
Gcorgo Peabody & Co, London,who look the loan
jointly. Two hundred thousand dollars wore taken
al 4J per coni., and si* hundred and fifty thousand
at 5 percent. Tho issue to bo SlOOff bonds with
coupons attached.
This is a decided improvement on the credit of the
Stale, since the loan taken by Governor Johnston,
to avoid tho inclined plane, none of it being taken
at less than six per cent.
This shows that the five millions loan to cancel
the bonds now duo and payable by Ibe OomrmmwOallb,
can readily bo taken at loss than five per cent.’ . f
MXAtJIJKII. AND THU AenmniTOTr'TnEATr.— -It' Jias
been asked whether, under the provision of tho late
treaty with Great Britain, for tho mutual delivery of
I fugitives from justice, Thomas F. Meagher is not lia
bio lobe demanded from oor government by England.
1 In answer to Ibis, wo may elate that the treaty only
requires the delivery of persons convicted of mQtdoff
1 piracy, robbery, forgery, and other henious crimes;
such offences as treason, suspicion of treason, deser*
j lion, &.C., being carefully excepted, and this wns fully
, understood in Iho negotiations that preceded tho trea
ly. So that Meagher is perfectly safe from molcsta
tion on American soil.
Infanticide.— The Strasburg 800, printed in Lan
caster county, Pa„ gives an account of a case of
infanticide, which took place at or near Soudersburg
in that county, a few nights since. A woman by
tho name of Lucy Woilzol, a widow, gave birth to
a child about o week since. A few days afterwards,
she clandestinely administered an overdose of lauda
num, Which singled and killed it almost instantly-
Report says the inhuman mother and murdross of the
certain sum of money, to conceal tho matter, but of
no avail. The latter at once gave the alarm to Iho
neighbors, which resulted in summoning o jury lo|
investigate the matter. A post mortem examination j
was had when a largo quantity, ( a loaspooful ) of
laudanum was found in the child's stomach.

and nlTlio rcqoofitW the' Chair, lib 'addressed'the
' meeting in liis oVyal happy manner.' Ho’concluded
his rortarks by offering tho following preamble and
resolutions, which were adopted unanimously# viz:
JVh&eas, wo, in common with tho Democracy
of Pennsylvania and of tho Union, feel the impor
tance if renewed exertions in the .support and
raainlainance of their lime honored principles, and
the carrying Into full effect those measures of gov-1
ornment that are befit adapted to tho wishes and'
wants of the people, and are based upon those)
principles: And whcreas t \i' xs right and proper)
ihalthe Democracy hero assembled should meet
together and Interchange their vic.wsas lo the most
eflective method of advancing the Democratic
icduse, which wo all hold’dear to us as Penney!*
vanians and Republicans: And whtreaa t we are
about to enter upon a roost important political
contest with our ancient opponents, in which con- 1
leal our energies and resources will bo taxed to the |
utmost to maintain oor ascendency against the |
'conservative views and monied interests of the l
I aristocratic party of the State and Nation: And
1 whereas, we adhere, with fond attachment,-to the
old land-marks,of the Democratic creed, as taught
by Jeffjrson# and effectively enforced by Jackson,
in lives devoted v lo the service of their beloved
country. Therefore,
Resolved, Thai a more permanent, efficient
and active organization of the Democratic par
ty of this county ia hereby recommended,
and that each organization should be adopted
by our Democratic brethren throughout the differ
ent counties of the Slate, by frequent meetings,
organizations of Democratic clubs, dissemination
[of° documents inculcating, illustrating and enfor
cing Democratic views, and frequent discussions
of the great principles of the parly, in order that
' the people may become familiar with their own
rights and the duties of all good government.
* Resolved) That the nominations made by the
Democratic National Convention recently assem
bled at Baltimore, meet with out hearty approba
tion, and shall receive onr cordial support. We
i believe they are calculated to nhito the Democrat
lie parly—-to ro-unllo the old Jackson parly as it
was ia its palmiest days—and make it more vigo
rous and effective than it has been for years.
Resolved) That in Gon. FRANKLIN PIERCE,
our candidate for President of tho United States,
we have a gentleman of exalted abilities, largo ac
quirements, sound and radical Democratic views,
varied experience in the affairs of government,-and
one who has shown a love of tho Constitution du
ring his Legislative career, and a self-sacrificing
devotion to tho true interests of his country, which
lias silently and irresistably drawn (ho hearts of tho
people towards him, until they have designated
him for tho highest trust within their gift.
Resolved) That WILLIAM R. KING, the Dem
ocratic candidate for the office of Vice President,
is every way worthy of that distinguished honor.
He has for a long time served the country ns a
faithful Democratic Senator from -that faithful.
HsmoAratiu , - 1 - H1..'.---
nonipoiemiury to tho Court of France; and the
country at largo are too well acquainted with his
I services as well his sterling worth, not to requite
i them.
Resolved t Thai wo believe in tho right and tho
capacity of the people for self-government, a right
and a capacity once openly denied by our political
opponents, and still but partially acknowledged,
if wo aro to Judge of the uniform tendency of the
measures of government advocated and adopted by
the Federal parly whenever they have tho power.
Ucsolvcd, Thai we repudiate the doctrine that
Government should lake caro of the rich and the
rich will take caro of tho poor," as a doctrine
calculated to make the mass of the people depend
ent and subservient to the behests of those whoi
would bo their masters-—rather adopt the wise
policy of enacting laws that will give equal ad
vantages to all, which, while it would not build |
1 up overgrown fortunes on lh?ono hand, would not
1 superinduce abject poverty on the other; which
would not mako beggars at tho samo time (hat
jit created princes; which repudiate special legta-
I lotion, tho granting of franchises and bounties to
one sot of mon that aro denied to tho masses of tho
pdbple, and which are given In fraud*hf tho peo
ple's rights; which mako all equal before the law,
rather than mako the law tho instrument of wrong
and oppression, of giving good gifts to some, and
Indicting unmitigated evil upon others.
Resolved, That wo believe in a strict construc
tion of the Constitution of tho United States, that
it is an instrument of limited powers, and that all
powers not contained therein nor prohibited by it
aro reserved to the Stales and the people respect
ivoly—that to adopt any other policy would make
tho National Government a great consolidated,
central power, trampling upon tho rights of tho
Slates and of tho people at pleasure, doing what
ever tho majority might dictate, and making our
Congress as omnipotent as the British Paliamehl,
which has no constitutional restraints beyond
what policy, tho behests of tho crown, and the
protection of the privileged classes, may demand
| os essential to thoir Interests.
Resolved , That wo recur with pride to tho dark
| days of 1796 and 'O9, as the period In our political
| history which permanently modelled and shaped
tho policy of this government, which through tho
I wise counsels of Jeflbrson and Madison, as evin
ced by the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions,
placed us fairly upon the republican anti-federal
track, and which lias guided the policy of the na
tion, with but few exception, from that limo unto
tho present period*
Resolved. That with those land mnrka to guide
us in our political career, wo aro opposed to tho
creation of a National Bank and its natural and
I necessary concomitants ond attendants, national
bankrupt laws; opposed to all connection between
1 tho General or State Governments with banking
|institutions, either. Stale or National; opposed
to. exclusive chartered privileges and special
grants, cither to individuals or ooporatlons ; oppo
sed to an increase of banka and tho banking capi
tal of the Slate ond Nation ; to a Tariff for any
other purpose Ilian that of revonuo for tho govern
ment economically administered; to a distribution
of (ho proceeds of tho sales of the public lands
among tho Stales; a system of internal improve
ments by tho general government; an assumption
of the debts ot tho States by that government,and
all other moans which may be devised in tho
shape of extravagant appropriations for various
Curposcs to exhaust tho National lroaaunr«nnd
nild up a national debt, which would ofiool in
substance what was brought about by tho “ fund
ing system" and “ Assumption bill," under tho
guidance of Alexander Hamilton, at an early porl-.
od in,tho history of this govornmont, when It was
lho < settled creed of tho Federal parly that “a
national debt was a national blessing"—when it
\Vaa deemed a cunning schema of unscrupulous
politicians and heartless money ohongora to be
come, by. legislative frauds and corruptions, large
ly tho creditors, tho fundholders of tho govornmont,
in order to tax tho resources and productive indus
try of tho mass of tho people for the special ag
grandizement of these public plunderers.-
Resolved, That wo adhere in good faith to all tho
compromises of (ho Coue|iuilion of tho United
Stales, as fiamod j>y the fathers of the Republic
that wo are willing to live in harmony pnd good
fellowship with out Southern brethren ; thal Y®

promulgated by the National Democratic con
vonlions of 1840, 1814, 1848, and 1852, on Iho
question of slavery in all its length and breadth—
“ that Congress hflts no power under the Constitu
tion to interfere with or control the domestic in
stitutions of the several Stales, and that such
Slates are the sole and proper judges of everything
appertaining to their own affairs, not prohibited by
the Constitution; thal all efforls of the abolition
ists, or others, made to induce Congress to inter
fere with questions of slavery, or to take incipient
steps in relation thereto, are calculated to lead to
the most alarming and dangerous consequences;
and that all such efforls have an inevitable londen
cy to diminish the happiness of the people and
endanger the ',stability and permanency of the
Union, and ought not to be countenanced by any
friend of our political institutions.” . : .
Resolved , That wo are sincerely anxious for .the
harmony and well .being of the Democracy of this
Slate and of tho Nation, and wo hereby pledge
ourselves to support the nominees of the late wa

sponsible offices of President and Vico Presiden
of the United Stales, and to use our almost exer
tions and all honorable means to secure their in
, umphanf election* . • - ■ •
, Resolved , That in brotherly kindness and fraler
. na! affection, wo will from this day forward cn

GEN. CASS.
Tho Washington correspondent of iTio Public
Ledger, In his Idler of iho 9th Inal., relates llio fol
lowing dialogue (hot look place between Ilia nobio
old statesman, Gen. Csss, and a friend of his who
was sympathizing with him for hia defeat before tho
National Convention:
Gon. Caas having lo day been accosted al (ho Na
tional Hotel by one of his friends, who observed that
“ Republics were ungrateful,” (ho old elalcsman in
elantly checked him, by assuring him that (ho Re
public of tho United* States ‘had been remarkably
gialcful to him. “ 1 crossed tho Alleghenies on fool,”
said Gen. Cass; “ I rowed my own boat on thoOhlo
river, and from tiiat humble position 1 have been ex
alted by tho gratitude of Iho Republic into every
station of honor, trust and emolument, except one,
and for that I have once been nominated, (hough not
elected, if (hero is any msa in this nation who has
reason to thank tho Republic end tho people for fa
vors bestowed on him, Idm that man. ” Tho.would
bo flatterer was snubbed. Lot every American states
man sot a similar example of forbearance and self
denial.
A New Idea in Aanicor.Tonß.-Tho Steward on

several crops of excellent potatoes by (ho following
mode of cultivation : ■,

work farming it on board ship! Tho process for
cultivating them Is this:—Fill youY cralo with alter
nate layers of straw-and (ho eyes of the potato;
commencing at the bottom with a six
Inches In depth of straw, and then a layer of tho
oycs_tho ayes being placed about two inches apart
over the surface of thd straw—then another lajor of
straw on to tho top. Koop tho straw always moist
and In about (wo months you will liovo about 914
worth ofsoaod, good potatoes of (he first water.
The Nomination,— ■'Tho announcement of General
Pierce’s nomination in Concord, N. H., created quite
a jubilee. A despatch says:
"The nomination hero is rcciovod with Iho utmost
enthusiasm. Largo crowds havo boon collected, at
tho building of tho Patriot ofiiooand at tho telegraph
