ThaContrast.

The whig presses are very generally contrasting the
military deeds of Gen Pierce with those OF General
Scott This will be their main dependence ior success
Gen ScoI has no civil reeordno votes IN Congress TO
refer TO- He never held civil once 10 his hie. We
admit his military renown; but as President oil the UNI
ted States be win have civil duties 10 perform, and the
and what principles will govern him. General Scott has
long sought be candidate Tor the presidency and 10
secure that object has written many important letters
From these letters with much certainty arrive al
his political opinions, which have always been thor
oughly whig. In October. 1s4l. after the celebrated
extra session. which passed the land distribution bill,
two bills TO charter United States Banks. which were
vetoed by John Tyler and the infamous wing bankrupt
law, Gen. Scott wrote 10 friend as iollows

Happily have also the opinions OF Franklin Fierce
