01110 ELECTION.
The Democratic triumph in Ohio, cn the
12th inst. was, if possible, more brilliant
than that in our own State. GOv. Wood
was elected last year, and had 29,000 ma
jority, and i n 1848, Gen. Cnss had 10,000
majority. Now, the Democrats haveenr
ried the State by about XO,OOO majority,
on their State ticket, and a majority of the
Congressional delegation. This shows that
Ohio is even more Democratic than Penn
sylvania, and both absolutely certain to
cast their vote for PIEUCE and ICING.
The election for Governor,. members of
Congress, &c., in Indiana, took place also
on the 12th inst., and there the Democrats
also won a victory equally as decisive as
.in the larger States of Ohio and Pennsyl
vania. Three years ago, GO. Wright
was elected,and had a majority of /3,000.
Now he is re-elected, and in 25 counties
heard from he has gained 3,800 votes on
that majority. Both branches of the leg
islature are thoroughly Democratic, and its
far as heard from, but one whig has been
elected to Congress.
With such results as these in the three
great central States, the whig party may
well despair of the result in November?
Let no man allow himself to be deceived
by the whigs claiming States enough to
give Gen. Scott even a probable chance of
an election. They even affect to claim
New York. Now,lionnett, of the Herald,
(an ., independen( paper)' insures N. York
for PIERCE' arid I6AO, by thirty thousand
majority. Thus the futir great . States of
the Union—N. York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana and Virginia—casting 107 elec.
toral votes, are sare for Pierce and King.

MANCHESTER, Oct. 2,1852.
I Dear is a matter of astonish
ment to me that there arc persons still to
be found who doubt, after the many cor
roborating letters written by me, of the
i f genuineness of the letter to Mr. White,
bearing my approving testimony. I have
to tell you that it is no forgery and that it
is signed by men who have lived in Con
, cord sixteen years, and who must therefore,
be intimately acquainted with Pierce's pro-
Iceedings.
I assure you that I have had no partisan
!motive in signing with them. My motive
I was the fruit of gratitude to the man who
has always testified his friendship for us,
before the Convention—namely, while the
churches in Philadelphia were in flames,
'as you will see stated in a few days—like
wise in and after the Convention for revis
ing the State Constitution. Our certifi
cates then was th*grateful tribute of men
wh o thereby intended to exhonorate
Pierce from the falsest accusation That
could be invented by his political oppo
nents.
That White letter had the desired effect,
and the concoctors of the falsehood against
him were quite disconcerted. They have
again repeated their attacks in another new
movement, but you will see, from the en
closed, that they have been effectually,
shamefully baffled in their now assault.
In confirmation of the above, you will
believe me when I say, that there is not
in the country a more liberal minded maw'
than General Pierce, and that he himself
must wonder at me for saying so much in
his behalf, for I have never spoken to him,
nor am I in any way indebted to him, ex•
cept inasmuch as he has exerted films* .
to remove from the State Constitution then
excludingclasses which stand against Cath
olics--to wit : That no catholic can be a
Legishltqr,. ; a Uoverripr pr aSioveroor's
Council.
Hoping the above will be sufficiently
explicit, I remain your obedient servant,
WM. McDONALD,
C. Pastor of Manchester, and Con., N. H.

I know something about the manner in
which the signatures wero obtained in
Manchesterand Concord. Few, I belive,
of the signers aro voters. When I state
that Manchester is a whig city, and that it
is supported by corporations—isalive with
' factories, foundaries and machine estab
lishments-1 suppose that I state no new
thing when I say that many of the opera-
Lives, in matters of this sort act under a
ispecies of moral restraint. 4 '.'
• The counter certificates were, I believe,
written by protestants. Perhaps one ofthein
was not. Independently of external evi
dence there are phrases and expressions
in thorn %hich betray their protestant
origin. They may have been, and prob
i ably were, copied by catholiCa. An Irish
itaine, the Pilot says, will command any
price—certainly any promise—from poli
ticians, until November next. Why pro
-1 tcstants betray such a tender interest in
lour welfare, and why those protestants
happen to be interested in the coming eke
: tion, is a phenomenon which 1 do not pro
-1 fess to explain.
I The person who was employed in this
place to obtain signatures from the opera
( fives is a person of whose equivocal Cath
olicity 1 will not say a word. Few of the
signors understood the import of the piper
to which they affixed their names. Some
were called upon to sign in the presence Of
their employers. Two persons, in 'one.
shop,—togive only one instance were mor
ally forced to sign. Some wero told that
the document was a petition for the estab-
Ilishment of the ten hour system. Others
were told that the mills would be stopped,
and they, in consequence thrown out of
work, if Pierce was elected. SOthe were
told that it was a sort Of natualization pa
per. Others were told - that it was a doc
ument levelled at English influence. Some
were told that it was a petition for equal
rights. Others signed it, simply because
they were asked to do so, We need not
wonder at all this Messrs. Editors, for such
things occur frequently, also among per
sons who claim to be better informed. The
monster petitions we so often hear of, are,
I am persuaded, got up in a similar way.
Petition bearers commonly find that the
general run of people will sign any paper.
I am confident, after the investigation of
the matter, that not more than some half
dozen of persons knew just what they
were doing when they signed the Coonv
document. I *now that some, here, n
ifused to sign' the paper, and yet found their
names appended to it. ' 0 . 't *
I have somethino b to say of the ConcOrd
document. To be brief, they who signed
it labored under the same:niisaPprehen.
sion, and were impose&upon, 'in. the same
way with those,' who signed the . . Manche
ster rehash. Nay, more: Mr. Cooney is
also responsible for the Concord dOdornent,

These ',things OroVe thitt the triumph
which the Cobneyites supposed they had'
gained, with referencn to these three cas-'
es, is no triumph at all.
Cooney went to,most of
,the Irishmen
knoWn `to be in the ernployment of whips,
and, as a matter of course, I fear most of
them signed the paper., So Car as I know,
only one man refused. His name is Con
nars. The concoctors of the document
coaxed an flattered him without success.
The amiable and accomplished daughter
of the employer, of
him
also cridettir,-
ored to yersuade him to sign the paper.—
This was a hard trial ; but Conners, who
understood, it would Seem, the contents of
the document, steadily refused. "I was
brought up to be a democrat," was his con
,
stant reply.
With reference to the Nashua and Do
ver certificates, I cannot speak froin parr
serial knowledge, but if I be correctly in
formed their history is very similar to that
of the Manchester end Concord docu
ments.
From the above Etats, it will he evident
to the public that the Conn) ite p tp'ut's pro
fessing to embody the Catholic 'sentiment
of New Hampshire, with ri.farence to the
test (the only matter tlitt have at any
time touched upon)tnust be regarded as the
production of a few political (mellitus of

RETRACTION OF A WHIG CALUMNY.

And more than have discovered
that their vile assaults do but commend
General Pierce to the admiration and af
fection of the American people. They
arc alarmed at this result, and
,begin now
to manifest a penitential regret for their in
famous conduct. They would repeal it to
morrow, however, if aught could be made
by it, but they are rather too honorable to
indulge in a system of vituperation and de
fat-nation which damages their own cause.
The annexed extract from the New York
Courier and Enquirer, a Scott journal, con
tains a retraxit of the charge of cowardice
against Gen. Pierce. The motives which
promp the Enquirer to do this act of

"If anything can elect Pierce, it must be
the conviction in the minds of the Americ

disgraceful imputations upon his personal

and or 'facts to say ''••that he never uttered
such a sentiment as is above attributed to
him. It is duc't6 truth, also, to say that

Gen, Scott, RoorbacL alleges, "by
the members of the New York legiture„
tnit by .'the boarders at the Congress Hall
Plot( I," •in Albany, where Gen; Scott was
then stayift. It is true, 11 . 61)70*, that a
good many of "the boarders nf' - Congress

when they gave'the dinner to their fer
low boarder, Gen Scott. Gov. Marcy was
p resell t as'a guest,a rid sat beside the General;
and here is the toast which he then gavc,
saying, doutitleSS', in the spirit of social snit
convivial courtesy, all that he 'epuld in con
science say, but by no means saying what
the Roorback imputes to hiin
"Governor Marcy, after remarking that
in an assembly composed as this is, most
ly of members or al t o legislature, it migh t
not seem to be parfimentary to allude by
name to an individual' present, gave;
" The man who is respected, not to sal:
feared, by his country'.4 'eticailies . , and
highly esteemed,by hisconntrY's friends."
This toast of Governor Marcy is given
in a report of the dinner, which was pub
lished in the Albany Argus of the 21st ut
February; 1835,
The only fOnndation for the forged see.
timent aboVe, imputed 16.GovernOr Marcy,
is the fact that the latter portion of it,' which
is enclosed in braokets, was offered us a
sentiment by Mr. John C. Spencer. Mr.
Spencer is the same gentlemen who, a few
weeks since, bore testimony to General
Scott's high qualifications as a ejvilian,
and who has not since been heard of in
the Canvass. The introductory clause in
the above toast, in regard to Gen. Scott's
scholarship, is rtsheer fabrication, 'got up
to garnish the fraud. .
The whole rn•►tter deserves notice as an
instance of the extremity of meanness and
falsehood to which some of the Whig man
agers have resorted in the conduct' 6ftheir
present canvass. It is in this vi'e'w only
that wo have thought' it worth while to
look up and give the truth of the whole at.
fair.
Tne Republic affected pone days ago
to ridicule the certificates which have Leen
published in favor of General Pierce. We
trust the Scott organ -will bear in mind
that those certificates were at least not for
aeries !
