question: the credit OF the adjustment OIL
that controversy was ascribed to Mr.. Web
ster, until, for party purposes, it became
necessary to rob him Of the honor. and to
bestow it upon another who needed il
more.
But there have been occasions on which
General Scott has figured as a negotiator,
though with equal damage to his own rep
u'ation and the interests OF his country.
When at the head Of the American army
in Mexico, he conceived the magnificent
project of buying up Santa Anna, and he
entered into quite an intricate negotiation
to accomplish that object. The result was,
however. that Santa Anna cheated him of
$4,000 in cash, and a promise Of $780,
600 more, "a million of dollars being the
exact price which Santa Anna set upon
himseli.) and gained other advantages Of
consequences; and had not General Scott
been reused by the ~remonstrances of his
officers from the insane slumber in which
his willy adversary had contrived to lull
him. his army would have been entrapped
and utterly annihilated. General SCOTS
diplomatic talents shone conspicuously
again in the negotiations which terminated
in the armistice of Tacubaya. Why do
the wing press omit all reference to these
instances of their candidates skill in the
conduct of civil affairs? On these occa.
sions he acted alone and from the sugges.
ton of his own mind, and, if credit be
due, he is exclusively entitled to it.
The attempt. on the part Of the wing
press. to claim for the wing candidate. the
accomplishments OF the statesman, is too
absurd and ridiculous for serious reiuta-
ton. SCOTS blunders and displays of
political imbecility have been so fragrant
aud egregious that it is impossible to con.
ceal or extenuate them. Everybody ap.
preciates his weaknesses. The world has
been the spectator Of his follies. And it
is another, if not the most remarkable,
instance Of the e~ffrontery of the wing press,
that it dares to commend Winfield Scott
to the people of this country as a wise
and reliable statesman.
The military reputation Of Franklin
Pierce has been the prey of the blood.
hounds of the whig party. They have
ridiculed it, sneered at it, and mendacious-
ly aspersed it-and that, too, notwithstand.
ing it is of no consequence, as respects
General Pierce's fitness for the presidency,
whether he be a great or an inferior SOL
der. Now, we submit, that General
Pierce's achievements in war, even as carl
catured by the wing press. are as praise
worthy as SCOTS achievements in diplo.
macy; and that it were to commit a most
~perilous and insane blunder to intrust the
vast and complicated interests of this
country to the wing candidate, inasmuch
as, taking no account of his political opin-
ions and associations, he is nothing bmt a
soldier.-W Washington Union.

OFFICERS WHO SUPPORT GENERAL
PIERCE.

u AAAANCEs - w
All the Wing reflections on Gen. Pierce's
valor, his talents, his popularity in the
army, and indeed every charge against
him should be ef~fectually silenced by the
fact that nearly all the officers in the U. s.
Army, in the Mexican war, are his ardent
supporters. The fact that no officer o fthe
army in any of the wars has openly adyo.

GEN. PiERCE's POPULARITY.


FRANKLIN PIERCE was elected to the
Legislature at the age of "a.
They liked him SO we'll that he served
four years.
His conduct and abilities were so de-.
serving, that in 1881, he was elected
Speaker Of the House. The vote he re.
ceived on this occasion was highly COM
plimentary.
He received majority of 100 out Of $50
members.
He still grew in grace. for in 1882, he
was reelected speaker, receiring 205 uOteS
out of 209 cast.
In 1889, the same year, he was elected
to Congress by a majority Of 5000.
In 1884, he was reelected TO Congress
by a majority Of 5000, running fur ahead
Of his ticket.
In 1886, he was elected TO the Senate
of the United States, receiving 100 votes
out of gig in the House. and II votes out
of IL cast in the Senate. I.
In 1850, he was chosen President of the
Convention to amend the State Constitu-
ton. by a vote of 257 out Of 264, one-third
Of whom were Wings.
We challenge our opponents to produce
the record of another such life.

THE BRIBE OF ONE MILLION AND A
QUARTER OF DOLLARS TO
GEN SCOTT.

1t is said by the wing orators that Gen.
Scott was offered a million and a quarter
of dollars by the Mexicans. and the presi-
dency of that republic, if he would leave
his flag and his country, and 60 over to
the cut.throats and knaves who had been
numbering Jul citizens and violating their
plighted faith. 1t is also said that Gen.
Scott refused the glittering p%rotfer with
lordly scorn and ostentatious contempt
This is one of the boasts Of the wings in
the present contest. If true. it was a mat
ter between Gen. Scott and his country's
foe; and, therefore, we shall be glad if
some friend Of his will give us all the facts
connected with it. He U a bound to re-
port the disgracefM proposal 10 the United
States government. Did he do so? II he
did, where are the papers? If they are of
record. can they be produced? Dare they
be produced? To keep such a thing a
secret, and then let his partisans boast
over it. would be TO dishonor himself and
his country. Will the friends of Scott give
US the proofs of the offered bride by the
Mexicans TO their chief Wash. Union.

invade England. The Portuguese Govern
ment have settled the St. UOes salt ques-
ton in favor Of the Americans. Il is de-
MED that the great powers have positively
agreed to restore to the Prussian crown
the Swiss Canton of Neufchatel, but it is
probable that they will presently make
such an agreement. 1t seems that the En-
peror of Russia came near being killed on
his recent journey from Warsaw to Vienna
by an express railroad train running off the
track. His death might have made some
difference in affairs, but not much. The
Russian system is superior to the men who
execute it, and loses none of its vitality
even when the best of them dies and is
buried.

MAGNIFICENT Railroad Enterprise.

Within year or two past we have oc'
casionally noticed the plan for a railroad from
Cbambsry. in France, to Turin, the capital Of
Piedmont, uaversing the Alps by a tunnel cut
through Mount Gents. As this is one OF the most
Gigantic schemes yet devised by modern engineer,

So said Napoleon of the obstinate and
stupid faction of the Bourbons. The maxim
is equally applicable to the men who in the
United States assume the special guardian
ship of the institution of Slavery.
1t is the perpetual fate of those who WELD
an unnatural and unjust power to be blind
to their own interests, and to destroy their
own cause. From that fate the managers
of Slavery have not escaped.

NEWyORK DAILY TRIBUNE THURSDAY, JUNE II, 1852

The abyss these men have prepared for
their reception.
But we trust that it will not. What
ever resolutions may be forced through by
a majority that includes the Delegates
from States which cannot give a single
vote TO a Wing candidate. we are well as
sured that they will not be carried with
any such omipous unsnimity as prevailed
in the Convention of the other party. In
that body Slavery was supreme and ab'o-
lutte, and no one was found even TO call the
Yeas and Nays, and to put voice of dis
sent on record against its dictates. No
such submission will be made by the Free
Wings at Baltimore. They will at least
assert their independence by their votes,
and put themselves right before the coun-
try as standing on none other than the no
bic and solid old Wing ground, and not on
any platform raised upon ringers" and
fastened with letters and whip-thopgs. IL
Southern gentlemen see fit to crowd their
own local difficulties into their body of
Wing doctrine, very well. 1t is their af-
fair and will be no nov city for them. But
when Northern Delegates are called upon
to submit to the same imposition, we trast,
for their sake and the sake of the country,
nay, we know that they will resist the
demand and put themselves boldly and
fully on the record as rejecting the odious
Interpolation into their political creed.
Thus they will deprive the particular
resolution or resolutions we refer to of
all validity as the expression of the
unanimous Wing party, and reduce
them to their true value as the express
sion of the personal opinions held by
a certain number of the Delegates in the
Convention. And those Southern men
who sincerely desire not to fortify and ex-
tend the Anti Slavery agitation must hope
for just such result as this.
