gans as precedent which ought to enure to the be-
neft of Gen. PIERCE. 1t has been termed a glo
rious Administration and the public mind has been
pointed to the large territorial acquisitions which
were made underit. Now, subtract from the merit
whatever it may be, of those acquisitions, General
ScoTTs undisputed share in it, and give to General
TAYLOR, another Wing, his due proportion, and
what will remain for President Polk? We remem-
Der that, during his Administration, one of its sup
porters claimed that he had here at Washington
planned the battle of Palo Alto The pretension
was SO ineably ridiculous as to be scarcely noticed
at the time. But is it more SO than to claim for
Mr.. Polk, and through him for Gen. PIERCE as his
platform egatee, the credit of results achieved by
the military genius of TAYLOR and of SooTT
The hour has come when the genius of the Re-
public calls the People to exercise for themselves
the power which party craft seeks, second time,
to steal from them The first experiment succeeded.
Shall the second succeed also In a contest with
the principle of which his opponent is the imper-
sonation, such man as WINFIELD SCoTT must, as
he has done in all his former wars for his country,
whatever were the odds against him CONQUER
Here, we trust, there are no odds for him to con-
tend with. Let the Wings be true to him; and
may the People, as they have ever before done,
sustain him. for his cause is their own

Executive and Municipal offices were closed during

THE MARYLAND SENATOR'S.

We observe by the Baltimore Patriot of last night
that Senators PEARcE and PRATT, of Maryland,
were invited to attend the Wing meeting which
was held at Baltimore on Wednesday evening Mr..
PRATT responded by brief note cheerfully accept
ing the invitation; but Mr.. PEARoE, not being able
to attend replied in letter of which the conclusion
is remarkably happy and striking as testimony to
the merits of Gen. ScoTT:
CHEsTERTowN, OCTOBER 26, 1852
DEAR SIR Your letter of the 3d. postmarked the 25th
has just been received If it possible for to adj
dress meeting in the open air. would not hesitate to
pat aside the business which, during my i'll health and
long absence from home has accumulated greatly, and
go to Baltimore tomorrow for the purpose But am
not well enough to speak in the open air at all 1t
would be imprudent useless in me to make the
effort.
No regret this SO much myself for very
much desire repe before my feow-citizens of Bati
caumnies aimed at Gen. SooTT, and to declare my
conviction of his eminent ability and pure patriotism,
spoess honor and admirable character private
His glory public is mperishaby united with that
of his country Unless lustrous services to pass
for nothing the highest political honors be the reward of
medocry, Gen. Scott must receive the greatest dis
tinction which his country's favor bestow.
Very respectfully, dear sir yours, SC.
