and the Rem TRUE.
MEssRs. EDIToEs:-Havlng seen this
.iewei Of place mentioned formerly by
some OF your correspondents, and by
this means having found its way into
! your casket, have concluded that an
occasional letter from this north west
corner OF our county might be acceptable
to the Wing.
In classifying my items will begin
with the weather, which has been in
tolerably hot. Harvesting is rapidly
progressing. The grass crop in some
fields is very good, while in others of
like quality Of soil, it is "very indlfer-
ent"-as the farmers express themselves
owing, ! suppose, to the severity of
the past winter; the grass in those fields
most exposed to frost was much injured
while those which happened to be pro-
tected by local causes produce fine crops.
The soil in this vicinity is not of the
best quality either, being heavy hun
CRY clay, but the spirit of improvement
which appears 10 be abroad in every
part OF our county, is rapidly bringing
1t into better state of cultivation.
The wheat crop may be termed light
compared with last season, but, never
theless, it may be considered, think, a
medium yield. Oats are very fine
through all this part of the country, as
far as my observation extends; indeed,
think have never seen better Corn is
yet short, but, presents thriving and
healthtul appearance.
In the midst of the general march of
improvement Of this section of our coun-
ty, regret TO notice the stealthy, vet,
rapid march Of intelnperanca. The de-
stroyer which, # permitted to stalk

life with his devotion to the compro.
mise. Are they not aware that while
in Congress he was an ardent supporte,
Of the "right of Petition" which Mr.
Calhoun in his last speech in the Senate
designated as the first great cause of all
the slavery excitement. They are not
blind to this fact, and yet they can sup
port Gen. Pierce in preference to Gen.
Scott. "Oh consistency! thou art a
jewel!'
Another objection to Gen. Scott is,
that he is supported by Freesoilers. A
strange objection surely, but one that the
Deserters cannot consider valid, since
they are willing to take Gen. Pierce,
although sustained by the rankest aboll-
tionists that the country affords, among
them the infamous Rantoul.
We have thus hastily run over the
main points IN the manifesto of the De-
serters. Time and space will not per-
init us to dwell at any length upon any
of them, yet we trust that we have clear
ly shown to our readers the fallacy Of the
preteXts, which these gentlemen have
adopted for leaving the whig ranks.
Now let us take glance at these
Deserters. Five out of the seven who
sign the principle card We're not elected
to Congress as wings, but as Union men.
Mr.. Toombs and we believe one other
of these five came to the Congress Of 49,
80 rabid Fire eaters, and by the aid of
Northern Free solrrs kept the House in
a diSorganized and disgracetul state for
several weeks, and at last defeated the
election OF Mr.. Winthrop, the whig
candidate for Speaker, and gave it to
Howell Cobb, a locotoco of Georgia.
And to the door of Mr.. Toombs, and if
we mistake not another of his compeers,
we have heavier sins to lay. Let them
'emember the dying hours of the la
nented Taylor, and their dast ardly con-
luct on that &C casion. TO this ilustrl-
JUS seven We have oni ~ to say: 90 to
,our Cobb and Foot associates, and
PANEL like tawn On them, as they lead
'ou to fight against those men and those
measures, which atoretime you considered
t your proudest boast to range beside and

augh IN their sleeves at your stupidity,
'ut remember the ldes OF November is
pproaching, when in spite of your ef-
orts, the great wing party will again
and your doom be sealed.
OF Messrs. Gentry and Williams, who |
ad too much good sense to attach their
ames to such miserable document, as |
he manifesto, we have only to say, that
We regret the position they have assum-
d but ifthey cannot go with us, we

To prevent ali mistakes and misappre-
henS'on, we, the undersigned, Members
of Congress, adopt this method of max
ing Joint statement 10 our constituents,
pectIvely y, and TO all who may take
an interest in the subject, that We can
not and will not support Gen. Scott for
the Presidency, as he now stands before
the American people, for the following
amongst other rcas ons:
lie ohstinately refused, up to the time
OF his nomination, to give any public
opinion in favor of that series of mea-
sures of the last Congress known as the
Compromise, the permanent mainten-
ance of which with us is question of
paramount importance. Nor has he,
since his nomination, made any Gpclara-
ton of his oprroral of those measures,
as final adjustment of the issues in
controversy.
1t is true the resolutions of the Con-
ventlon that nominated him are as clear
and as explicit upon this question as
need be; but Gen. Scott, IN his letter of
acceptance, which contains all that we
have from him on that matter. does
not give them the approval of his judy
ment. This he seems studously to have
avoided. He accepts the nomination
''with the resolutions annexed" That
is, he takes the nomination cum onere.
as an individual takes an estate. with
whatever ancmmbrances it may be loadcd
with. And the only pledge and guar
anty he offers for his "adherence to the
principel Of the resolutions' are
'the known incidents of long public
llfe," &c.
Amongst these "knomn inciacuts" of
his lie there Is not one, so far as we are
aware of, in favor of the principles of
the compromise. In one, at least, of
his public letters he has expressed sem
timents inlmical to the Institutions of
fifteen States of the Union. Since the
passage Of the compromise he has suffer-
ed his name to be held up before the
people OF several Of the States as a can
didate for the Presidency by the open
and avoWed enem;cs Of those measures.
And in the Convention that conferred
this nomination upon him he permitted
himself to be Used by the Free-soiiers in
that body to defeat Mr.. Fillmore and
Mr.. w Webster, because of their advocacy
OF these measures and their firm adher-
ence to the policy that sustained them.

completing their triumph over, and

the constitution, and the faithful dis

GEN. P1ERcE's MILITARY CARE Err

the review of Gen. Pierce's career in

any attempt to shift off the responsible.
ties Of his station; for as we have once
before stated, in substance, we wish to
detract nothing from Gen. Pierce's prl-
vate character, but we do charge it upon
him, that SO far as we have been able to
learn, he has never in his public course,
either in the National Legislature or the
field, done or said anything that entities
him to the respect, much less tie great
ltude Of the nation. Having received
his pay in good current funds for
his tine spent, he has no longer any
