no assurance from me that rcciprocate all your

You wrote, sit was published in some If the

had stated 10 your lamented father, few days be-
fore his death, that you had determined to support
Pierce and King, and not vote for Scott and Ora

had read law under that dsting ushed lawyer,
Benjamin Watkins Leigh; that his every tie was
southern. Beneath the cod of Virginia reposed, he
said, the bones of General Scott's father and mo-
and chiyalrous soul would ever prove recrennt TO
tics such as these? General Scott was not man
OF Yesterday; he had made his mark upon the pages
OF history; hls past lie showed no blot stain upon
placed in the most difficult situations, and he had
always proven himself equal TO every emergency;
had lived to good old age, and had never yet vio-
lated pledge or betrayed friend, With such
man, hi. word and honor were far above all price.
His whole life and history was known and would
bear the severest scrutiny. Now how, he asked,
it with this newly discovered MIR. Pierce,
or General Pierce! What had be done, where
was be from, and what assurances had he given?
Certainly, he said, no man would contend for
the field, and then found falling and faintng from
his horse before he got into action. This was his
whole military life. Asa civilian or statesman he
had scarcely ever been heard Of Perhaps by close
ings of Congress it had been found that he had
made speech about the rules Of the House Of Re-
personalities the subject of the right of petition
Surely this does not enttle him to the appellation
OF a statesman. Then what good deeds Of benevo-
lence or charity has no done 10 his fellow. men!
Why, his biographer tells US that he actually did
give one cent to Toy to buy stick Of candy. His
whole reputation for charity and benevolence then
rests upon t1at stick Of candy Born and bred in
northern clime--as cold in his feelings, impulses,
what had We to expect from him? Surely, he said.
no Wing or southern man could doubt which OF
the two 10 choose. no, he said, our course was
clear; let us then redeem the pledge which Your de.

owe, by giving him and William A. Graham a
