The democratic papers have for some
months been indulging, ad zibituna, in the
worst species of personal abuse of General
Scott. They have insinuated cowardice, and
abolitionism, and dishonesty, and folly, and
vanity, and almost every thing else against
him, which they thought twould engender dis
trust in the public mind. They have made
some impression where he has not been vim
dicated. But truth, like the rising sun. is
now rolling back the mists of error. tn.
facts OF history are powerful vindication of
the old solder-they sweep into nothingness
these groundless imputations, wherever thew
are published and read, as fire sweeps stub,
bic from the fields. Justice is an inherent
principle with the people. Justice to the
brave old hero of Lundy's Lane is now breath
ed as strong sentiment by millions who q
short time ago had given the matter but lit-
tie thought They see that great wrong has
been done to an old patriot who has for fortv
years given his life to the flag, the honor and
the protection of his country against foreipn
foes, while his principles are found to be of
the strict, sound, upright, republican whig
school. The people are coming to the res.
cue. The very words with which democrats
have reviled him are becoming the youno
mems rally calls. Fuss and feathers and
"Hasty plate Of soup" already begin to sound
above the hum Of the multitude to democra.

A WHIG SPEECH IN TAMMANY HALL
The bestjoke of the season is the delivery OF
whig speech in Tammany Hall, the wigWam
of locofocoism in New York, at the celebra-
ton of the Tammany Society, by the Hon.
John W. Crockett, of Tennessee, who is a
aohig ''by the necessity of his nature. ."-Ihe
N. Y. Courier says:
Col. Crockett had been invited to the BAR
quet and was assigned toast to which ne
was expected to make reply. When ms
turn came, he rose and avowing himself
Whig, remarked that of course he could no5
be expected to make Locofoco speech-ahu
he then proceed with an eloquent out and 0u'
whg harrangue, during which he lashed 10
cofoco men and Locofoco principles right anV
left without mercy. For while the unter
riied were taken aback; but in the end the!
| so admired the unterrfed were taken abach
but in the end they so admired the audacl1 :
of the gallant Tennessean that they not onl
! listened to him, but applauded him with re'
Tammany Hall enthusiasm. We may 4"
think with perfect safety; aver that such
thing as whig, and a Southern whlg al t4''
making speech in Tammany Hall at u
cofoco gathering, has not happened befG .
within the memory Of the "oldest lnhal
! tant."

SCOTT AND PIERCE.

The Georgia Citizen, the editor of which
has always been consistent and earnest de-
mocrat, talks in the following sensible man.
ner about the nominees for the Presidency:
"flrst then on the score of personal SER
uice to the country, who takes the palm?-
Answer, Gen. Winfield Scott, mem con.
Cd. On the ground of dbiZitu, honestv, and
other qualifications, to whom shall the award
be rendered. Again, we say, to Gen. Scott.
Gen. Pierce has never shown any extraordi-
nary capacity for civil or military government.
Sd. On the score, of principle, to whom
shall we give the preference. We fancy
that this point is matter of taste or opinion.
Asa democrat OF the Jackson and Jefferson
school, our preference, individually, would be
given to Gen. Pierce. decidedly, because, on
all the past issues Which have divided the
.Pes7ss,.sur af6nisi>, t-stt fecffngs hive DcSss
with the democracy of the country. But the
question arises, ae not all these old issues
obsolete, defunct O. settled? If they are, then
we could give up our prejudice in favor of
Gen. Pierce. so far as they are concerned.
4th As to sounaGess on the great ques-
ton in which the South is deeply interested,
which of these candidates is the most accep-
table to Georgians! Gen. Pierce is Nerth-
ern man. Scott Southerner and slave
holder. Gen. Pierce voted in Congress to re-
ceive abolition petitions. Gen. Scott has no
such sin to answer for. Gen. Pierce has ac-
cepted the democratic nomination and placed
himself upon the platform which has been
put forth as the platform of the democracy.
Gen. Scott has accepted the nomination of
the Wing Convention and placed himself on
its platform Both platforms are good enough
-one adopted by the wings, as, condition
precedent to the nomination, and that adopt
ed by Pierce and the democrats, as a condi-
ton subsequent, when the Convention was in
disorganized and confused state, and more
than half of the members had left! On this
head, therefore, we opine, there is but little
to choose between the nominees, but the ten
dency of things is in favor of Scott.
5th. And lastly. What has been the as
sociation of these gentlemen "A man is
known by the company he keeps" Birds
of feather flock together" &c. General
Scott is said to be under the influence of
Seward, Hale, Greedy & 60. Perhaps he is.
Gen. Pierce, by a parity of reasoning, may be
said to be under the influence of Van Buren,
Rantoul, Giddngs and the New York Gree
SoiD Post, who are loud in his praise. But
further, who support Gen. Pierce and oppose
Gen. Scott in the South? Why, all the Fill
busters, Fire-Eaters Secessionists, Nullifers,
Disunionists, ultra loco-focos, &c. &c. Eve

Captain Spencer, who was soon after killed,
pulled up suddenly onaa body of men unfer

regiment is that?" he was answered, 1.-THE
Royal Scots" With great presence of mind,
he replied, "Halt! Royal Scots, till fufthes

was a borrid conflict.

alike over the graves of friend and enemy.s
See from this point how gently and grace
fully undulates the battlefield; the woods
bowling to the evening freeze, as the soft
sunlight pours through their branches, show
not the rude gashes of rude cannon-shot; the
plain, loaded and bending with the yellow
harvest, betrays no human gore; yon hill
scathed, scorched, and blackened with cannon
fame, the very resting place of the deadly
battery, shows no relic of the fierce death
struggle, as covered with the fragrant clover
and wild blue-bell, the bee in monotonous
hum banquets DER it. Nought mars the
serenity Of nature as she smiles upon u.s.
Yet, burnt in common funeral pyre. the ashes
Of those brave men, of friend and foe, there
mingle in the bosom whence they issued.
The frenzied passion passed, the furious con-
flict DER, they have lain down in quiet, and
like young children, sleep in the lap of that
common mother, who shelters with like pro-
lection the little field-mouse from its gambols,

reply was:
81 am Democrat; but out of gratitude for
one who saved my life, l shall vote for Scott"
"How is thatl"
sWhy, sir, when was lying on the stone
floor in the hospital at Jalapa, parched with
sores, with no one to look after me, General
Scott came to me and asked if was wound

my feeble arm, felt ofmy pulse, examined my
fever sores, and sent for the surgeon, and ask
ed him why was thus neglected. The sur
geon sent for his assistant, who, in turn, sent
for the steward of the hospital. The gener-
al charged them to take good care of me-;
and, on leaving, told me if they did not to

saved my life by his kindness, as he did hun
dreds of others; and l should be scoundrel
not to vote for him. They say he is proud.
So he is on horseback-on the battlefield he
is Major General Scott; but off, he is kind
hearted, humane man." This is a true story,
and story to tell.
