"Now, fellow citizens, | have but one
answer to make TO all these Installations
in reference to General Pierce's military
character and that answer is simply this:
GeneralW Winfield Scott, in his official reports
under the sanction of an oath, has given
the lie direct to every base slanderer who
daees intimate or inslnuate such an impu-
tation. Applause. wish every Wig to
remember that, if he ever utiers or repeats
this charge. his candidate for the presidency
has pronounced and proves him a calumni-
ator and that by making the charge he
also accuses Geuera, Scott of faIsehood in
his official reports to the government. Do
our wing friends expect to commend their
candidate to the favorable consideration of
the American people by branding him with
official falsehood, whilst at the head of that
gallant army in which he gained all of his
laurels :. Either General Scott is unwor-
thy of public confidence. or Franklin Pierce
was a brave, gallant, aud skilful general"
Great applause.

The Slandcr Confessed.

Thurlow Weed, of the Albany Evening
Journal-a thorough Scott paper, thus con
iesses TO The SANDER perpetrated by the alb
olitionists against Gen. Pierce, charging
him with having denounced the fugitive
slave law
The Observers right in %pronouncing
the story untrue. 1t has been co~ntrad.c:ed
by Gen. Pierce's personal aud political
friends who were present on the occasion,
aud the denial published in the Washington
papers over the signatures of the l~ocofoco
senator and congressman from New Hamp-
shire. There can be no doubt that the
sentiments Of the opposition to the law, at.
tributed TO him. were not founded upon
what he really said. The wing press so far
as we have observed, has endeavored TO do
him Justice, by publishing the correspond
ence which places him on record as the
firm and devoted friend of the slave law"
All decent, tru,h-!oving wing papers will
do likewise, especially those who have re-
published the SANDER.

81 am aware that the wings have been
in the habit, lately, of assailing the military
conduct Of General Pierce. Instead of any
direct charge, they deal in that cowardly
mode of insinuation which is worse than
direct and open calumny because it does
not take the responsibility OF bold and spe-
cific accusation. They nickname him The
Painting General, and talk about him hav-
ing fallen from his horse on the field of bat
tie. While they do not dare openly to say
that these, acts are evidence OF cowardice
on his part, yet there is no other motive for
the i%nsinuation except to instll into the
minds of the American people the impress.

The wings anticipate a letter from
Mr.. Webster. pledging his support to Gen.
Scott. THE silence Of the great expound-
er, aud his evident dissatisfaction with the
wing ticket strikes confusion and terror in.
to the wing camp. Should MIR. Webster
take an active part in behalf of Gen. Scott,
he will make wal upon his position on the
Compromise. 1t is known that both Web
ster and Fillmore are strongly in favor Of
the compromise as il is and ii was this
that caused their defeat in the wing conven.
ton. Should he now declare for Scott,
who is the chosen champion of the enc.
mics of that measure, he must swallow all
his words, and secede from his position.-
That Mr.. Webster will give a silent vote
for Scott, we may reasonably expect. but
we ann think that he will be active in
his support.

These votes were given in the face Of
the emphatic declaration Of Southern SEN

law would inevitably lead to a dissolution
Of the Union. W. have seen no stronger
evidence Of the potter and strength Of ab.
%oiitiou, ior the last twenty years, than is
contained in this fact
Il is the duty Of every friend Of the Un-
ion to unite upon Gen. Pierce and put
down this dangerous movement. Should
Gen. Scott be elected, Seward will force
the motion to repeal, upon the Senate, and
the Executive dare not use his power TO
preserve the law. Union men, think Of
this Gen. Scott is in the hands of the

Singular Disclosures. Langdon, of
the Mobile Advertiser, thus speaks of
the nomination ofScott:
"The truth is, the Seward faction in
New York did not advocate the nom
ination of Scott with the sole view to
the promotion of lreesoilism. They
were influenced by one motive, and
that was the defeat of Fillmore"
They opposed Fillmore because he
had approved the fugitive law. and be,
cause the southern delegates voted for
him.
