Another Bubble Exploded.

One after another, in quick succession, the
bugaboos raised by our adversaries to fright
the freemen Of the United States from their sup
port of General Scott are banished from before
us The grounds of every objection having
been removed they proclaimed as an insuperable
obstacle to his receiving the votes of his country
men that he might appoint VIM. H. Seward to
some Office of honor, trust, or profit. But the
possibility of that dire event has been totally
removed, as may be learned from the following
letter;
WASHINGTON, 26th June, 1852
MY DEAR SIR: Your kind letter has been
received 1t would be presumptuous on my
part to suppose that any President of the United
States would, at any time, or under any cir
cumstances, invite me to q seat in the Executive
Council, and equally 50 to suppose that the
Senate of the United States would advise and
consent to such a selection. Nevertheless, if
there be one Wing vote depending at this cleo
ton on the question you have raised, will not
stand on point of personal delicacy in the effort
to save it.
assure you, therefore, with entire frankness,
that, under no circumstances which I have ever
conceived, or con now conceive, would | ask or
even accept any public station or preferment
whatever at the hands of the President of the
United States, whether that President were Win
field Scott or any other man have ever seen or
known. In saying this, I am only saying to you
what was well understood as rule of my conduct
by the late and lamented President Taylor, and
has been equally well known and understood by
Winfield Scott, from the first hour when my pref
erence of himself as the candidate in the present
canvass was fixed.
l am, with great respect and esteem, your
friend and humble servant,

Gen Lane fell from his horse, and was hurt
As we write, there is q gentleman near us who
assisted in lifting him up. When he was safely
out of the way, Gen. Lane said to some Of his
men, in jocular way: "Come, men, no more
falling off your horses"
The above is from our paper of Tuesday. II
should have been written, "Gen. Pierce fell from
his horse, and was hurt" The after part is also
erroneous, as we are satisfactorily assured. Our
informant is not now present but upon good tes-
timony we are convinced that he was in error, OF
that we misunderstood him, rs Gen. Lane was
not at the scene Of Gen. Pierce's mishap.
We rarely make erroneous statements; but
when we fall into them, q recantation is task Of
pleasure. 1t was foreign from our purpose, how
ever, to utter anything to the disadvantage Of
either of the gentlemen named, We were, in

Mr. Graham.

We know Of no man whose character or whose

will and respect of his countrymen than WILLIAM
A. GRAHAM; and it is with regret that we OBJ
serve in the Southern Press Of this morning, as
means of getting out denunciation of General
Pierce, fling" at Mr.. Graham that is certainly
not as high-Aown as we we're prepared to witness
from the editors of that journal.
The Press says of Mr.. Grahams resignation
that /" it is the only claim he has, that we know
Of, to the Vice Presidency, except that he is a
citizen of doubtful Southern State. 1t is true
he has been sufficiently obscure and mediocre,
to make neither friends nor enemies. He has
