President, he forgot the higher and noblel
duty which he owed to his country.-That is
the whole Of it. No man is 50 glorious IN
this country, when he aspires to the FIRST place
in the republic, as to make it sacrilege tc
speak freely Of his position and Of the tenden.
cies-political tendencies-likely to result
from his success. We have a rightto speak
freely. / claim that right and no man shall
make me afraid.
Now, sire have read in some old books
which described the usages and customs in
the barbarous and dark ages Of the world
that when some unfortunate subject incurred
the displeasure Of bis king, the order was
promptly given to behead him, and to stick
his head upon pike.staff, and carry it thfp
the streets. On such occasions. all loyal SUD.
jects we're required to fall into the train, to
testify to the justice and power Of their sOver-
eign, who had exterminated his enemy, BY
shouts and huzzas. Now, if Gen. Scott is
nominated at Baltimore, what triumph for
SEWARD. What a shout Of exultation will
burst from his lips, and from the lips Of al
his faithful and hopeful followers Some
willing mercenaries viii be ready, fguratiyely
speaking, to raise aloft upon their pike-stafs
the heads Of Webster and Fillmore, and all
Northern Union-lOving wings who have stood
by them, and bear them through the streets
amid the shouts and hazzas Of their victori-
Gus enemies, and We shall have a grand jubi-
lant, exulting glori6cation, to celebrate the
occasion. As loyal whig who has never
proved unhithful to ny party, myself and
Southern whig friends viii be required to fall
amicably into line, and constitute the rear
guard Of Mr.. SEwARr's column, and give
him our voices to swell the jubilant exulta-
tion.-Well, perhaps / may try. Laughter
But my opinion is, that my utmost efforts to
shout win resolve itself into groan Of de-
SPAR cannot do it. I lciU not. Put that
down in your notebook. Well, what viii
you do ?''-" Join the Democratic party p
[Laughter.l Id not think I shall do not
know what shall do. But I know I will do
what / believe to be my duty. Ny present
impression Is, that I shall deem It more con.
sistent with my pride Of character, to stand
aloof from a contest. But if thought one
mans vote or one mans influence were neces-
sary to cast the vote Of Tennessee for Pierce
and King, my voice and my vote should be
given to them unhesitatingly. And any gen.
tleman who dreams that any Southern State
will cast its vote for Gen. Scott in the next
Presidential election, dreams, in my opinion,
a dream that will never be realized.

Soon after the city Of Mexico fell into th,
hands Of the Americans. Gen. Pierce, seeing
no prospect Of any more fighting, determine,
to resign his rank in the army and return t
the United States. His departure from thi
Mexican capital was noticed in a handsome
manner by the American Star, the Ameri

Bro. GEN. PIERCE. Among the dis
tinguished officers Of the American army who
return to the United States with the train
which leaves to-day, is Brig. Gen. Franklin
Pierce. Of New Hampshire. The Americans
in the city viii deeply regret the departure
of this accomplished gentleman and officer
and certain we are that their best wishes fol
bis future happiness viii go with him. It is
Gen. Pierce's gentlemanly bearing, his ur.
bane and republican manners which have
made him 50 great favorite with both officers
and men. It is his purpose, we believe, tc
resign the place he nov occupies in the army
Immediately upon bis return to his residence

cheerfully met. pGen. Pierce has won a high
reputation in the United States for his cour-
age and bravery, as every paper that reaches
US bears evidence. He left Vera Cruz in the
middle Of July with one Of the largest rein
forcements for Gen. Scott, and the most ex-
tensive trains that have left that city since its
bombardment In the several battles before

Comparative Power Of Nations.

The power of nations may be dvi led into three
kinds: l. Geographical; 2 Physical and Moral
In geographical power, Russia the Co<sack stands
foremost in the rank of nations, having territory Of
four millions of square miles and if her moral and
physical energies were in proportion, she would ami
hiate all other people, Great Britian, with only thir-
tyfour thousand square miles, may be said TO give the
law to all Europe owing 10 her superior physical and
moral power. The whole Austrian domain, incuJ-
ing Hungary and Italy, is only three hundred thousand
square miles, with inferior moral and physical pow
er to that of France The United States now possess
three and quarter millions of square mles--litle less
than that of Russia-w'h infinitely more moral, and
scarcely less physical power With so small geo.
