On the 10Th u March, i547, Gen. Scott ar.
rived before Vera Cruz. On the 14th of Septenl-
Der, 1847 he planted the stars and stripes over
the national palace in the city of Mexico, Within
these six months San Juan D'Ulloa-the Ameri-
can Gibraltar--was stormed, and the battles OF
Cerro Gordo, Contreras, San Antonio, Churubus-
co, Molinos del Rey, and Chepultepec were fought
and won. With less than ten thousand fighting
men he attacked and routed, again and again,
thirty thousand of the best troops of Mexico
posted behind the strongest Notifications, and
fighting with the courage of desperation, No
thing Of military achievement recorded in an
cient or modern history can excel the glory OF
that march from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico!
Such is a brief sketch of one whose life has
been devoted to the service and glory of his
country, and whose patriotism is enlarged enough
to extend to the whole country. Born Southern
man, reared and educated among Southerners he
hasfought and bled alike for the North and South;
and to suppose that he could be willing to do in
Justice to either, would be to declare the last
forty years of his life but lie.
Much abuse has recently been heaped upon
this gallant patriot because he declines giving
written pledges upon the various questions which
may be involved in the approaching Presidential
election. We doubt not that several Of the gen
tlemen now prominent before the Democratic
party would cheerfully give pledges of any kind
,ohateUer, provided they could thereby secure
nomination. 1t is not difficult to make promises,
and it is very easy thing to break them. We
could point to an illustrious example in the his
tory of the Democratic party which occurred but
very few years since. A certain Presidential
candidate gave written pledge that he was in
favor Of the protective system, and got tariff votes
thereby; but as soon as elected, became sudden
convert to the doctrines Of free trade.
When citizen has been for nearly half CEN
fury in the service of his country, his past history
is the best guaranty for his future conduct

Let me ask you as you are about TO step out TO
perform your part, to look well 10 your position, and
be that your feet are planted upon the rock of
TRUTH and that your aspirations have q wider range
than mere party triumph
There are, in effect, but two parties before the
country, at the present time Upon the banner of
one, depicted the chains and scourges Of slavery
fit emblens Of its purposes, and under them is IN
scrbed the word ''FINALITY," as if chains and
scourges be forever the highest lot to which
humanity might aspire. But, my young friends, up
on the banner Of the other party are inscribed the
words, LIBERTY AND TRoTH." 1t is given to
you to decide under which your efforts shall be en-
listed. Under ours, you may not, in this life, re-
ceve any offices, mr. honofs but you shall receive
that, in comparison with which, all hoaors and of
fees viii be poor, and weak, and coHtenptIbe.-
You shall secure the appreciation of your own con-
sciences and convctons the gratitude and regard of
all good men, and the answering smile OF Heaven.
gu shall feel that you are ellow workers with God
and Christ, and the just Of all ages and all times,
in the elevation and advancement of your fellow
men, Though the praises that are laylshed upon
successful warriors may not fall upon your ears
though the camorous shouts oil mob, in honor OF
your elevation to office station, may greet
you, vet when the march of life is ended, when its
htul dream is over, and when that dread summons
shall come at which you are to render an account
to your Maker, you shall go peacefully to sleep, with
The consong reelection that you have faithfully per-
formed your part in the great mystery Of life, that
YOU have fought the good fight where God was your
leader, and that He will be- your leader su.
My friends, take these things home with YOU,
when you 60 hence ;-ponder and reflect upon them
in your workshops, your farms, and at your fire.

is now out Of town on a visit. The letter was

So this settles the question, and Captain Mar
