mocrstic editors ashamrd of tbcmsrlves:
Il believe thai Gen Scott i an honorable

for long series of years. and do not mean at
this day by any calumny In prove myself nm
worthy for it. | am not III favor ofhls election
10 the Presidency; every body knows that.
The Democrats think it a readful thing, re-
marks the Louisville JournaI,thai single Scott
new spaper the New York Tribune is in IA
vor Of the repeal or modification of the Fugi

plorably ignorant. they mn.t know that more
than dozen of the ablest aud ferccst Pierce
papers. such as the New York Evening Post,
the Albany Atlas, the Buffalo Republican, the
Cleveland plaindealer. &c, are violent for the

during the Presidential term of Pierce and
King, have not we equally As true and able
