GEN. ScoTT AND THE SOUTHERN NHIss.-i he
following pronutcianaento from the Augusta
(Ga.) Chronicle is the latest testimony we have
from the wings of the South, as to their notion
of uniting for the election Of Gen. Scott:
Gen. Scott is every where regarded as mere
tool in the hands of that intrguer, Seward, on
whom and his free soil friends he is believed to be
pledged to confer the control of the government
and the distribution of the spoils if he should
be elected. It's not, therefore, surprising that
he has no advocates at the South for without
any such impression as that to which we have
alluded his total unfitness for the Office the abb
sence of claims, except his military services, if
indeed they can by any honest man and patriot
be regarded (Which we very much doubt) as con-
stituting any claims to such an Office, and the
fact that he is known to have expressed IA opin-
ion favorable to.tho annexation of Canada, are
quite sufficient to make the southern people re-
pudiate him entirely, and they will not support

GEN. FRANKLIN Pierce AND TIE RELIGIOUS
ToLERATIoN.-A correspondent Of the Wash
ington Republic having stated that Gen. Frank
lin Pierce had voted to retain the provision Ia
the Constitution Of New Hampshire, which ex-
GUIDED Catholics from holding seats in the Leg
islature aud Offices Of profit in that State, the
elitor Of that paper positively and promptly did
justice TO a political opponent, by denying the
charge Tie Washington Union, in referring 10
the same unfounded rumor, thus dispOses Of ii:
We hope tolay before our readers The Poin
tel apd vigorous speech which Gen. Pierce LETT
the chair Of the Constitutional Convention Of
New Hampshire to deliver against the disability
clause in question. which, on bis appeal, and in
conformity to the universal democraucs sentiment
of the State and the country, was excluded from
the new Constitution which the Convention
submitted to the people"
On the same subject George NJ. Dallas, in his
address to the Ratification meeting in Philadel-
phia, on the evening Of the 9TH inst, Of which
he was chairman, says:
g have heard it intimated to-day, for the first
time. that Franklin Pierce had heretofore, while
the Constitution of New Hampshire was in
process of amendment, joined in defending and
retaining the proscriptiye feature it contained
against Roman Catholics Now, gentlemen,
this is a weak invention of an already frghten-
ed enemy; it deserves to be nailed at once to
the counter, as spurious and base; and hope,
by simple statement, to crush it at once and
forever.
1t is true, that the Constitution of New
Hampshire was disgraced by an intolerant and
intoerably oidous provision, commonly called
| :. The Catholic Test" which rendered Catholics
Ineligible 10 the Legislature and 10 the Office Of
Governor But it is equally true, that the most
strenuous exertions were repeatedly made 10y the
democracy, perseyeringly led by two of her
brightest stars, Levi Woodbury. and Franklin
Pierce, to expunge an exception to common right
so utterly inconsistent. with the creed and char
acter Of sound republicanism Twice did these
generous champions Of civil and religious liber-
ty succeed in obtaining from Convention CALI
Ing at their instance, and for that very purpose
the abolition of this test and twice las the
Constitution permitted no change of its provis-
ions, unless sanctioned by two-thirds of the
votes Of the people, were they defeated by the
opposition of combined wings and abolidonists
at the polls

IBE IRISH EXILES.-Our readers are aware
that memorial praying for the release OF Smith
OBren and his compatriots in exile, was re-
Gently presented to the Lord Lieutenant of Ire
land, with a request that he would forward it
10 Queen Victoria, TO whom5 it was addressed.
This he peremptorily, and in terms which were
deemed unfseling and offensive refused to do
taking occasion al the same time, to add insult
to injury by rejecting on the conduct Of the
prisoners in the penal colony, as though theil
offence instead Of being merely patriotic or poll
tical, if the reader win, was crime against So
ciety of the deepest die. The Dublin Nation
for thus behaving, rebukes the Viceroy, in the
following indignant terms-more Irish than
nice The Nation says.-Deita.
How burst the foreign popiniay, fresh from
the betting ring and the cockpit, whom English
usurpation invests with temporary authority in
this Island speak of our suffering patriots in the
terms men use to designate the outcast culprts
of the gaols 1t is the turbulent spirit of the
subjugator that has directed this insolent and
mendacious reply But for the claim which this
EnglIshman advances for 8 his country and
:. his Sovereign" on the score of lenity, we have
an answer, and an emphatic one 1t is a lie.
there was no lenity extended to the traitors of
48, bat the lenily of unfair trials of suborned
duties of illegal transportation, of brutal perse-
cution IN the penal colonies, of gang labor with
the hideous ruflianism of the English huIks We
write of facts of which we have personal cogni-
zance, and we say it was apprehension, not Gle
mency. that stayed the hand of the hangman
in October 48. But there is one phase of this
transaction which is characterized by inelfable
baseness.
All through the preliminary negotiations the
organizers Of the memorial were absolutely en-
couraged by influential members of the govern
ment to make the appeal to them, some of them
communicating with the very committee. They
were led to believe that they had only to solicit
and that their demand would be granted. Re
! lying with confidence on such assurances, they
were certain of success, and were astounded to
find themselves daped and insulted by the very
men who, up to the last moment, spoke them
fair In all the dealings between this country
and England, we do not know any even which
exhibits more insolence than this. Irish gentle
men, who would scom to ask anything for them
selves, were lured there with petition which
it was predetermined to reject 1t is piece Of
deliberate treachery, deserving of the treadmill
and the knout Let this reply of Lord Eglin-
tons be treasured in the peoples memory. Let
the mock knight of the mock tournament, who
sees in the true chivaIry of Meagher and O.Bren
only vanity, bear the verdict of Ireland be-
tween them aid him"

A Rejected Lover.

You never loved me, 2 Ada -Those slow words
Dropped softly from your gentle woman's tongue,
Out of your true and tender womans heart,
Dropped-piercing into mine like many swords,
The sharper for their brightness Yet no wrong
Lies to your charge nor cruelty, nor art;
Even while you spoke, saw the ready tear-drop
start.
You never loved me No, you never knew
You, with youths dews yet glittering on your
soul
What t is to love. Slow, drop by drop, to pour
Our lifes whole essence, perfumed through and
through.
With all the best we have, or can control,
For the ibation; cast it down before
Your feet-then lift the goblet, dry for ever
more

A mans heart beats beneath this breast ofmine
The breast where-Curse on that fends whisper

Unto myself-the self that worshipped thine
May all lifes pain like those few tears thatsprng
For ma-glance off as rain-drops from my white
doves wing
May you live long, some good mans bosom flow
er,
And gather children round your matron knees
Then, when all this is past, and you aud l
Remember each our youth, but as an hour
Of joy-or torture one, serene, at ease,
May meet the others grave, yet steadfast eye,

Hon. JAMES BUcHANAN-The Intelligence

an resides, and is universally esteemed, says:
Mr. Buchanan, although defeated in the
nomination, is contented and happy in The con
ciousness Of having done nothing during the
entire canvass inconsistent with that high sense
# honor which has always marked his. public
and private career. He speaks in the highest
terms Of General Pieroes and expresses the grsat-
est anxiety for his success and we venture to
ay that the great Pennsylvania statesman has
more peace Of mindat home, on his own little
arm and that he will do more to promote the
tpccess Of the nominees. than all bis revtleEs
