FROM THE OHIO STATE GAZETTE.
WESTERN MEN, REMEMBER


That FRANKLIN PIERCE, the Democratic candidate for
President is opposed to the plan Of improving the navi
CATION Of Western rivers and the protection Of Western
harbors.
While in Congress he uniformly voted against all appro
priaons for these purposes The Convention which nom
mated him adopted the following Of its articles of
faith:
That the Constitution confer upon the Gen.
eral Government the power to commence and carry
general system Of internal improvements"
In his letter Of acceptance he binds himself abide by
all the articles of faith provided for in the party platform
and as this opposition internal improvements has
been point with him. he will have hesitation in obey
ing this command.
To show what his friends claim for him, we quote
paragraph from the Richmond Enquirer the organ of De-
mocracy in Virginia Speaking Of the passage Of the
River and Harbor Bill through the present Congress- the
editor adds:
This bill is the first Of the that has been passed
for long time and rH Be the last tor years
iesst Frank Pierce will into power on the 4th
Of March next strict construction and respect for the
Constitution is the Medan law Of the Democratic party
and Mr. Pierce, beside that general reason
EVERY IDEA OF CONSISTENCY, OF
PAST CAREER, VETO EVERY lie will do

The people of the WEST, who deeply interested
in this class of works. decide whether such is

Another county which gave CAss over one hundred ma

Another county which gave one hundred and fifty

good for three hundred majority for Scorr."

TESTIMONY IN POINT.

In the United States Senate, bill to create the
Office of Lieutenant General being under considera-
ton, the following observations were made:
Mr. HAMLIY of Maine, pierce Democrat,) said al

is to be conferred as any Senator here"
Mr. RHErr, of South Carolina, Estates Rights Demo-
crat said " shall vote for the resolution, the sim
pie ground that Gen SooTT merits it. Amy testimonial of
your sense Of his high and distinguished services should
be cheerfully paid He has shed glory on the United
States and w representing the States ought to bestow
on him all the honor with propriety bestow. /
shall vote and vote cheerully, to bestow this
soldier the honor the resolutions propose
on the simple ground that he has fairly and gorousy
won it."
Mr. BUTLER, of South Carolina, States Rights Demo-
crat) said " concur with my colleague in saying that
shall vote for this resolution most cheerfully tr-
butte a personal tribute, Gen. SooTT. He has for
himself and his country historical reputation, and
willing as far can to bear testimony in my official
character TO his merits
Mr.. HALE, Of New Hampshire, (Freesoil Democrat J
said: believe myself that far military skill and
military prowess concerned Gen ScoTT has reputa-
ton compared with which in the world stand
before him. believe, and am sustained by informa-
ton from military men who were with him in Mexico,
that greater Skill greater science and of those cha
raceristcs which 90 to make up great soldier
were displayed by any mortal man than displayed

proposed to be rewarded here the whole country the

1t is a remarkable fact in the biography of Gen.
ScoTT that under all the illiberal usage he has re-
ceved from individuals and from the Government,
he has uniformly preserved his temper, abstained
from recrimination and even returned ingratitude
and injury with kindness Moreover, he has inva-
riably faced accusation by whomsoever made, with
the boldness of mind conscious of rectitude, and
in no case has he failed, upon fair examination,
ltriumphantly to vindicate himself His course no
where evinces fear or evasion Of scrutiny into his
conduct and motives. On the contrary, it shows
that he has challenged inquiry whenever his cha
racter or actions have been impugned and this
too, even when he might readily have escaped any
formal nquisition, or postponed it until crcumstan
ces were favorable to an honest and impartial inves
tigaton of the charges preferred. Besides this
promptness to encounter either the slightest or most
formidable impeachment of his integrity as man
or as an officer, the respectful submissiveness with
which he has obeyed the summons Of authority, IN
every instance in which he has been arraigned for
alleged violations of duty, distinguishes him above
most men for that loyalty of disposition which is the
first merit of good citizen, and the highest quaf
cation for positions of military command or civil ad
ministntion. n.--North American.

THE ARMIsTIcE.--As some of the Democratic
organs have denounced Gen. SooTT for stopping to
make an Arn,istice in Mexico after the battle Of
Churubusco, and as they have undertaken to deny
that Gen. PIERCE approved his in that matter
confound them with the following plain statement taken
from private letter of Gen. PIERCE of his friends
Have they any thing more to say
The ..a .-s-shrow Of the whole Mexican force

the highest compliments for his worth and services When

The Hartford Times, the leading Democratic organ in
Connecticut which is berating the Wing candidate
without pause scruple, spoke of him in 1S4S the
