DETROIT, June IS.
The nomination of SooTr and GRAHAM is re-
ceived in this State with the utmost satisfaction
and enthusiasm among all clauses The people will
rally to the support Of the gallant old hero with
hearty good will which has not characterized any
contest since that oflS40. The people have the
most confidence in General Scott while their graft
tude for his patriotic services to his country 10
bounded, and they are eager to avail themselves of
this opportunity to manifest it. The nomination
of Pierce, with the Locofoco anti harbor and river
improvement platform, fell like wet blanket upon
the people of this lake. bound State, and, in TACT
upon the whole northwest The platform" of the
Wing National Convention is quite satisfactory to
the great mass of our people, If there any por-
tions Of it which do not suit some Of them, they
are willing to consider that all could not be suited,
and all will join hands in giving it jealous and
hearty support, for the sake of the union Of the
Wing party and the success of Whig principles.
Our State convention for the nomination of uber-
material, State and electoral tickets takes place on
the LIST proxmU, when the campaign will fairly
open, and We intend TO give the enemy a hard
fight. OF course cannot, at this time. say to you
exactly what'we shall bs able to do in this State,
only that we shall do duty to our candidates
and our cause. With Locofoco ma jority of seven
thousand against us, you would think me insane
to say that should carry the for Scott; but
will promise that, If all other States will do as
we'll as Michigan, General Scott and V,Iliam II.
Graham tciH be elected. You may understand that
we have the great influence of General Cass to
labor against, which will be exerted to it's full ex-
tent so long he is candidate for the Presidency,
which he il nop, if his friends here can be re-
lied upon. They assert boldly that they shall
bring him on the course again in 1856. as he was
so shamefuy biack-legged out of the nomination
in their late "slaughter- house" convention. They
swear vengeance ON Buchanan, Douglas, and
Marcy, for the obsiinacy they manifested in that
affair Yours, truly.

General PIerCe,s Path.

1.-THE political principles Of General Pierce are
thoroughly and infexibly Democratic He be
longs to the strctest sect. The school Of Je1erson
was the one in which he inbib his first lessons,
and he reduced them to practice under the admin
istration of Jackson. He has been one of the moot
consistent politicians in the Union all bis life, and
we challenge his antagonists to point out single
essential departure by him from the true path.
The platform of the late Democratic Convention
at Baltimore he adopts as the basis of his admins
traton should he be elected because is in stric.
accordance with his own Convictions
Union Of Uednesdny.
Tho only distinctive principle reduced to
practice by Mr.. PIERCE ''under the admins
tration Of JACKSON" was that Of hostility to
every form Of internal improvement. His
''thorough and inflexible" Democracy has no
record excep. that Of antagonism to every ap-
plication for the improvement Of rivers and har-
bors, and to every scheme for rendering assist
ancs by the General Government to measures
Of vital consequence to the country. He was
more ''infexible" in this regard than the head
Of the administration with which he professed
to act, and for acting with which the Union
now claims for him the support of it's party.
II Is proper that the country should know
that Mr.. PIERcE's stubborn resistance to the
| reasonable claims of all the new States is now
endorsed by the Washington organ as '',he true
path" and that which constitutes his only title
to the confidence Of the Democracy. 1t is pro-
per, also, that the States Of Michigan, Illinois
Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana, Missouri, Tennes-
see. Mississippi, Alabama. and all which like
them feel the strong necessity that exists fol
federal assistance TO secure the accomplishment,
Of long-needed Improvements, should bear in
mind that what Mr. PIERCE did under Genera
JACKSON, he will do again if elevated TO tn.
Presidency. The words Of the Union adm
| Of no misconception. They are an unreservet
avowal Of Mr.. PIERcE's intenlon-if by any
imaginable accident he should reach the Pres
Dental chair--to pursue course "in stric
accordance" with his former conduct. TIL,

such declaration.

1.-TWO SideS.S

1.-THE friends Of General Scott seem 10 have
lected two Sides each hostile to the other of every
great question; and in different and distant locali-
ties Scott advocates are advocates for each side
Thus we have Seward and Greeley against the
Wing national platform, and Cullom and Mangum
in favor Of it; Seward and Greeley in favor of in
PREVENTION and Kossuth, and the Wing National
Convention against both; the National Itsligsneer
against the Homestead law, lately passed by the
House of Representatives, and Scott for it, accord
ing - his letter of acceptance Scott himself both
for and against the Native American party, and
that party is said to be for Scott The contradic-
tory policy Of the party does not seem to end here;
for there are Wing papers now before US, soma of
which declared to be for Winfield Scott Of New
Jersey, and others for Winfield Scott Of virginis.
We presume the element of State pride will be
aroused and made active in at least two of the
States of the Union, until. finally, shall have
as many States claiming Scott a resident, or a
native, there were CITIES contending for the
honor Of being the birthplace of Homer"
Union IF Thursday.
The Wing party have given to the country
their platform Of principles, and claim to be
Judged by them, and them only. General
Scorr has formally announced his adhesion to
the pafotpl, as the standard by which he is
content to stand or fall. Neither General ScoTT
nor the party that look to him as their leader
can be held responsible for the principles OF
| policy Of individuals or newspapers excep,
so far as they are in accordance with the
propositions of the platform.
That manifesto of the party gives forth no un-
certain sound on any Of the questions to which
it relates. 1t reaffirms the doctrines of WASH
INGToN on the subject Of intervention-it as
sumes national and eminently conservative
ground on the irritating topics embraced in the
Compromise-and on all other points it renews
the time honored maxims Of the party as an
assurance Of its unchanged policy, and il
readiness to abide by the decision to be pro
nounced upon it. So msch for what the
Union has said in reference To The 1.-TWO sides
Of the Wing party.
II is strange that. before penning para
graph that admits Of 50 easy an answer, ih,
Union did not take into consideration the vul
nerable condition Of it's own party and candi
date in every parallel particular. Very littl
dexterity would he necessary to paraphras
every one Of the points on which it seems l.
dwell with precious unctiou.s We will suppl

SymptOm Of Rencttau,

The Savannah Republican Of the 10Th ult..
in publishing telegraphic outline Of General
ScoTT's letter Of acceptance, says:
it will be seen, by reference to the foregoing de-
spatches, that General Scott has formally accepted
the nomination Of the Wing party. and that he has
unequivocaly placed himself upon the patriotic
platform furnished by the South, and adopted by
the convention We bad feared that he would not
do this-that he would evade the great point in
the present controversy-and thus nliepate the
Wings Of the South.
"Should his letter be all that il is described to be
in the despatch, it will change very materially our
opinions of the position and future course Of Gen
Scott. We shall await the arriva! of the letter
however, when and our readers will be better
able TO form q correct estimate of it,"

Mr.. Pierce and tho Richmond INCUBATOR

Nr. Pierce and the Richmond InquisitOr
We have dipped into each succeeding nun
Der of the Richmond Enquirer with the expec-
tation of discovering MIR. PlERcE's answer tc
Mr.. r. G. Scorr, of inquisitorial celebrity
The first idea that occurred to US on perusing
the batch of eplstles which that gentleman
managed to elicit from Democratic candidates
for the Presidency was, that the whole was an
ingenious cOntriyanse to kill off all competitors
to make room for others less hampered with
pledges. The notion was repudiated by the ora
cles as an imputaton that would in due time re-
ceive ample exposure. Mr.. PIERoE, we were
told had been addressed in common with Messrs
CAss and DOUGLAS, and the non-appearance OF
his reply in due time was attributed to bad
roads. post office diatoriness, and we know moi
what beside. BY and by, it was added, Mr.
PiERcE's response would be sen, forth, with
the twofold purpose Of proving, firstly, thai
Mr.. PlERCE was from the first viewed pro
pheticalIy as a candidate, and, secondly, that
upon the vital question of the Fugitive Slave
law his pledges were as distinc: as those of his
less fortunate rivals.
The country has waited patiently for weeks.
and still the promised revelation is withheld
The Richmond Enquirer. the Washington
Union, and their allies, shouted in triumph
over the fact that "e each and every one''
Of the candidates pledges himself to pros
trate by the Presidential veto' "any repeal OF
modification Of the Fugitive Slave law" Mr.
PIERcE's pledge is not in the list; and yet nei-
Their the Enquirer nor the Union has ventured
to explain the causes of his silence, If he were
silent. or the tenor of his letter, if he did per-
chance indite one. We do not impugn Mr.
PIERCE's soundness on the Compromise; bu,
we arc nevertheless curious to know how i,
harp MS that editors who scanned with dellgh,
the replies Of actual candidates, have moi
degned to enlighten their readers in relation
to the reply Of the nominee-the man to whose
response the accidents Of the convention have
attached special importance.
There is proprieiy In reminding our contem-
poraries of the omission, because by singular
coincidsnce--or fatality-Mr. Pierce In his
letter Of acceptance does not notice the point
mooted by Mr.. ScoTT; and the omission is
turned to account by Freesoil prints as evil
dence Of their own consistency in supporting
Mr.. PIERcE's pretensions.
Let us have the eps,le without further de-
lay. Let US have tangible proof that the De
mocratic organs spoke truly when they said
that before his nomination Mr. PI.RcE put his
signature to promise to veto any bill repeal
ing or weakening the Fugitive law. The pub
LEGATION is essential, not less to vindcate their
own character, than e place their candidate in
a proper light before the country.
