On the 10th of March, l847, Gen. Scott ar
rived before Vera Cruz On the 18th of Septem-
Der, 1847, he planted the stars and stripes over
the national palace in the city of Mexico Within
these six months San Juan D'Ulloa--the Ameri-
can Gibratar--was stormed, and the battles Of
Cerro Gordo, Contreras San Antonio, Churubus-
co, Molinos del Rey, and Chepultepec were fought
and won. With less than ten thousand fighting
men he attacked and routed, again and again,
thirty thousand Of the best troops Of Mexico
posted behind the strongest Notifications, and
fighting with the courage Of desperation No
thing OF military achievement recorded in an
Gent or modern history can excel the glory of
that march from Vera Cruz to the cityo Mexico
Such is brief sketch of one whose life has
been devoted to the service and glory of his
country, and whose patriotism is enlarged enough
to extend to the whole country. Born Southern
man, reared and educated among Southerners, he
hasfought and bed alike for the North and South !;
and to suppose that he could be willing to do in
justice to either, would be to declare the last
forty years Of his life but a lie.
Much abuse has recently been heaped upon
this gallant patriot because he declines giving
written pledges upon the various questions which
may be involved in the approaching Presidential
election. We doubt not that several of the gen
tlemen now prominent before the Democratic
party would cheerfully give pledges of any kind
Whate0er, provided they could thereby secure a
nomination. 1t is not difficult to make promises,
and it is a very easy thing to break them. We
could point to an illustrous example in the his
tory of the Democratic party which occurred but
very few years since. certain Presidential
candidate gave written pledge that he was in
favor of the protective system, and got tariff votes
thereby; but as soon as elected, became a sudden
convert to the doctrines of free trade
When a citizen has been for nearly half cen
tury in the service Of his country, his past history
is the best guaranty for his future conduct.

The Democratic candida,.s

The game of the Democrats is q very ingenious
one, but we do not think it will win this time.
Because il won in 1874 it does not follow that il
will be successful always. The people will not
be forever content with political nonentities
They will require to know who man is before
electing him President--notrmt the doubtful and
dangerous chances of finding out after. In the
better days of the republic, great services and q
high order Of ability, exhibited during long Sc
res of years, were required to merit the distinc-
ton Of nomination With the Democrats now
adays service, ability, and experience are alike
at discount. With them, obscurity is the high
est OF recommendations. They argue that the
less man is known the less can be said against
him; and therefore, if he is not absolutely odious
politically and morally, they can rally their party
upon him. This plan worked so well in 1874
that they are trying il now in 1852 1t will not
answer, for many reasons. The lesson the people
learned then is not wholly forgotten and be-
sides, the Democratic party is not as servile 70
conventions as formerly. Pierce is no "Young
Hickory" as Polk was, and, what's more, he has
no "0ld Hickory" to back him-N o. Bulletin.
