To the Editor of the North Carolina Standard:
DEAR SIR: My attention has been called to a
p" Card of Gen. 3. M: Edney's which appeared in
the Raleigh Register of the 11th instant, in which
" Card certain statements made just before the late
State elections and communicated to you by are
pronounced L" totally destitute Of truth" From the
phraseoIogy of the Generals " Gard only
slider it as denying that the offer which informed
you, upon the authority of gentleman of high stand
ing and unassailable veracity, had been made him,
ant-whose consent can no doubt procure to use his
name hereafter, should it be necessary-derived all
he knew of the matter from General Edney himself,
it is than probable that the General has prop
erly characterized information which he furnished
himself as " totally destitute Of trath." He is more
likely than any other to know the truth of state
ment made by his own lips: The branding his own
declarations in the public prints totally destitute of
truth being question OF taste it does not be-
come to decide upon its proPriety lest it might
provoke discussion too subtle and refined for these
practical times Very respectfully.

Scott as follows:
ssScott has paddock on his lips, and the principles
of Seward in his breaches pocket and stands before

He NEVER TAINTED OR LOST A BATTLE. This
stereotypcd declaration is heralded forth every
occasion in a sneerng manner by the Scott-Seward
orators and prints, in their futile attempts to prove
General Pierce no soldier and a coward. We COM
mend the following, from the Pittsburgh Daily
Union, to the attention of these newborn warriors
sis HE CowARDl We have it from authority
that will not, presume, be questioned by the
wings, that Gen. Scott actually tainted at the battle
OF Lundys Lane, and was borne to place of safety,
where he remained a considerable length of time.
Will this fact disqualify him from being president in
the estimation of patriotic wings! " ill this make
him the object OF contemplate sneers by the braUe
and Gallant politicians of that party! Or will it les
sen him in the estimation of any man, who values pa
trIo'ic deeds? The last question we can safely an
swer In the affirmative; and think that most of
the wings will sustain him for the presidency.
Wing papers say that Gen. Scott never lost BAT
tie yet he was taken prisoner, with his whole force
at Chippewa.
Wing papers say that Gen, Scott never tainted in
battle; yet he did faint at Lundy's Lane and was
borne from the ield.''

HURRAH FOR PIERCE AND KING!


E. UMAs-Air Dearest Mae
Come, frecmen, round me rally,
And hear while tell,
How Pierce and King from this fair land
Will all dark clouds dispel.
The people of this nation soon
Will publish in a trice,
That Pierce and King they wish TO be-
Next President and Vice.
CHoRUs-Then shout and sing,
Hurrah for Pierce and King,
Well sound their praise through all our days
And make the welkin ring.
Frank Pierce comes from the Granite State,
And he's sturdy SON;
He helped to fight the Mexcans,
When we whipped them three to one
Though in the war with Mexico,
Above him Scott placed,
He meier was charged with cowardice,
But met them face to face.
CHoRUs-Then shout and sing, &c.
The reason why the Southerners
Intend to vote for Pierce,
IT'S 'gainst the " anti-fugitives "
He is so justly fierce.
He says that when our slaves appear
Beyond old Masons line,
He'll have them soon in the cotton fields,
Or making Turpentine.
CHoRUs-Then shout and sing, &c
Our King from Alabama halls,
And is patriot strong;
What tits TO be Vice President
He'll show the Wings ere long.
The "Old North - is his brth-State,
Where Jimmy Polk was born,
The man on whom in forty four
The Wings looked down in
CEoRUs-Then shout and sing, Sc
Our people, though they always say
Republics the thing, %
Dissatisfied with Presidents,
Must make themselves King;
Because they know that William r.
Is only King by name,
And that Democracy in him
A champion firm claim.
CHoRUs-Then shout and sing, &c.
They say that in November next
They'll show the world at large
That Franklin Pierce and William King
Shall guide our glorious barge.
Then she will move gracefully
AS any living thing
With one i'll front to "Pcrce" the waves
Aud in the aft a King.
CHoRUs-Then shout and sing
"Hurrah for Pierca and King
When we send them to Washington,

FUNNY. gentleman the other day told US that
on the evening after Gov Reid and Mr.. Kerr spoke
at this place, hehappened to be in company with sew
era wings who conversng about the discussion,
and that they expressed the opinion that the demo-
cratic party ought to reconsider the nom nation and
withdraw Gov. Reid from the ield-that he get
ting so badly fused up,'' and would be so over
whelmingIy defeated that the party would be forever
disgraced. We suppose there would have been many
glad hearts in the wing party if noble and gallant
Standard bearer could have been scared off-and no
doubt Mr.. Kerr himself would have outstripped all
the rest in,rejoicng-but every democrat who heard
the two candidates speak, felt proud that the demo-
cratic cause had been entrusted to such able hands
as Gov. Re1d's-and that the man who had defeated
whiggery once could do it again. The result shows
that although reed (Reid) was pronounced very
weak staff for the democracy to lean upon, it proved
sufficiently strong to throw tremendous (kerr)
off the track ard completely demolish it, thereby Sc
riousy damaging all who refused to take the advice
of their friends and keep off:
Probably our wing friends would like to have
franklin Pierce Withdrawn. Fay. Car.
