ing to the admissions Of his friends, appointed
our representative man implicated in what our
ta,cs make piracy! President who appoints
pirate to of the most responsible stations under
the government
But it is somewhat strange that the Times never
discovered that this appointment was most unforu-
nate until Mr.. Trist comes out and by his testimo
ny helps convict the Presidents pet of dishonorahle
transactions, He did not disgrace the country un-
til he helps cover the name of Geu. Pillow with
disgrace. The ignominy incurred by his connec-
ton with the slave trade is nothing compared with
the gnominy incurred by bearing testimony against
MIR. Polk S partner. When he refuses to be a tool
to aid in the advancement Of such pititul scoun-
drel as Pillow over the hands of men who have
fought hundred battles, then he incurs the con-
tempt of the friends Of James X. Polk.
With regard to the testimony Of Major Burns, to
which the Times alludes, it is enough for us to
point to the testimony given in before the Court,
that convicts him of falsehood.

MIR. Trist and Gen. Pillow.

The course of Mr.. Trist in relation to the dill fiji
culties between Gems Scott and Pillow is destined
to cover his name with ignominy, and beSet con-
tempt for him in all quarters. He disgraces the
country he represents, and we are glad that Gen.
Butler has received orders to arrest and send him
home as the Court of Inquiry have done
with him.
The difficulty among the Generals, 1t is well
known grew out OF the celebrated" Leonidas Let
ter" published originally in the New Orleans Del
ia, the original of which produced in court.
This letter offended Scott because it did not appor
ton the glory Of the battles Of Mexico to his lk-
ing The letter charged upon Gen p, and
certain interlineatons were recognized by Mr.
Trist as Gen. p s handwriting; in fact, it was
tended proved that if he Pillow did not actually
write the letter. he at least examined and amended
it to suit his taste. thus virtually making himself its
author. 1t was these interlineaons that Trst said
confirmed a suspicion of Gen. P.s rascallty In
offset Major Burns testfes that he wrote the letter
himself, without the knowledge of Gen. r. and as
for the nterlineatlons, the editor of the Delta has
declared that they were made in has office, IN Netc
Orleans. apih his otcn hand We append to this
article the honorable testimony OF the Delta. We
envy not Don Nicholas the reputation he is likely
to acquire by this farce. 1t may be well to re mind
our readers that Trst is the same man who render
ed himself somewhat notorious few years since,
as u. S. consul at Havana, and who, in consequence
of an alleged connection with the slave trade, was
recalled. During the Tyler administration he be-
came clerk in the State Department where Mr..
Polk found him. His familiar knowledge of the
Spanish language and acquaintance with Spanish
diplomacy unquestionably secured his appointment
as messenger to Mexico-a most unfortunate APP
pointment, we think, so far as the character and
reputation of the man is concerned.-Imes
We insert the above to let our readers see what
kind of man. in the estimation of his own party,
is the individual chosen by MIR. Polk to manage our
,a,,;xe IN Mov;oo ,nboyn he n control such n
man as Gen Scott, and we ask, if he be such man
as the Times says he is, if his appointment was not
direct insult to Scott and to the whole nation
And is it any wonder that Scott resented it? Was
it not something more than "amost unfortunate dp-
pointment," was it not dsgraceful-a most cri'"i-
nal one And what are we to think of the charac-
ter and honor of President who has thus, accord
