war are of so recent date, and so fresh in the
recolleetions of the American people and the
whole civilized VERDI that it is pseless 70 do more
than make a passing allusion: ~" 49, 4
On the 10th Of March, 1S47, Gen, Scott ar
rived before Vera Cruz. On the l4th of Septem-
Der, l847, he planted the stars and stripes over
the national palace in the city Of Mexico. Within
these six months San Juan Duloa--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
lighting 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 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
has fought 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
a0hateuer 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. certain Presidential
candidate gave a written pledge that he was in
favor of the protective system, and got tariff votes
