General Pillow.

We havo been furnished says, ahe Ohio
Statesman, with copy of the defence of
General Pillow, against the charges made
against him, by General Scott, but upon
which he was acquitted. 1t is most tri-
umphant vindication Of brave man, against
unfouaded charges preferred by personal
enemy.
The Baltimore Clipper, whig paper,
after reading the defence handsomely re.
tarcts all it has said against Gen. Pillow, in
the following:
MAJOR GEN. PILLow-We confess to
having entertained strong feeling of
prejudice against this officer on account of
what we supposed to be an effort to exalt
his own fameby means of anonymous pub.
locations, at the expense Of the regulations
of General Scott, and other distinguished
officers. We censured him, in no meas.
ured terms, as the author of the famous
.'Leonidas" letter-and almost held him
in contempt as an unprincipled pretender.
But we have read the pamphlet containing
his defence before the court OF inquiry, ,and
must candidly admit that our opinion Of
him has undergone change. His defence
is written with great ability, and his sum-
ming up of the testimony on the various
charges and specifications is done in
masterly manner. 1t may be objected,
that he was too severe on the witnesses; but
it must be reeollected that he is acting on
the defensive, and smarting under what he
deemed false accusations. He handles N
P. Trist with peculiar severity; nor does
he spare Captain Hitchcock and some 9TH
er officers. He has been ridiculed in the
newspap pers for his supposed desire to puff
himself, and we have contributed our mite;
but, on the evidence contained in his de-
fence, we admit that we have done him in
justice, and retract what we have said to
his agement-having no disposition to
injure the reputation of any man, and par
ticular'v an officer who appears to have
borne himself gallantly on the field of bat.

Aunt for Whigs to Crack.

Henry Clay made speech in Baltimore,
in 1928, from which the following is an ex-
tract:
"If, indeed, we have incurred the divine
displeasure; and if it be necessary to chas-
tise this people with rod of vengeance, I
would humbly PROSTATE myself before Him,
and implore Him, in his mercy to visit our
favored land with WAR, with PESTI-
LENCE, with F FAMINE, aUith any
SCOURGE other than MILITARY RULE
or blind and needless enthusiasm for mere
MILITARY RENOWN!"

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES


"The policy recommended by Gen.
Cass-to superficial observer, seems plau-
slble-seems democratic; yet Of all the
schemes .chach hare been devised for the
dasfra"chasenlent and degradation of the
South, It is by far the most adreit and
electuaa. The proposition is, that to the
inhabitants of the territorv-not when they
shall constitute State, but whilst in the
condition Of q territory shall be submitted
the question whether slavery shall exist
within its limits. Slavery does not now
exist in any department of Mexico, and has
not existed for several years. The inhab-
stants Of the portion aUhich is ikezv to be-
come the territory Of the United States,
are knoaoss to be arerse to this institution
Charleston (s. C. } Mercury.
Such is the language of the leading Jour-
nal of the slavery propagandsts of the
South, the Charleston Mercury, and the
same sentiment is expressed by the whole
Of the opposition press of the slave states.
Is it not little singular that, while the
ultra slavery extensionists are eontendihg
that "the policy recommended by General
Cass (though it may seem plausible and
democratic to the superficial observer} is
ssby far the most effecutal and adroit''
scheme which has ever been devised for
the disfranchisement and degradation OF
the South, the opponents Of General
Cass at the north, of whatever shade Of col
or-whether Taylor men, conscience
wings, or hbelitionists-are making the
most desperate efforts to produce the be.
lief that he is not only in favor Of extend,
ing slavery into territory now free, but
