The Difference.

Whenever a prominent democrat of the north
stands up boldly and defends the rights of The
south, the southern democracy show every dis
position to confer honor upon him. BY the two
third rule, which has become a fundamental law,
by which the Democratic National Convention
is governed, the south can prevent the nomina-
ton Of any one who is in the least tainted with
abolition sentiments, and hence we can always
although in the minority, present candidate
upon whom the South can safely rely. This we
have DONE and always will do, or fail to make a
nomination How is it with the wings in ma
king their nominations? Why, in the first
place they cast about to find man who was

no matterhow short time, and who has said
enough against the institution Of slavery to Sc
cure the abolition vote, or if they should happen
to nominate southern man for the Presidency
they are certain to place some one on the tail Of
the ticket to please the abolitionists Mr.. Fill
more was placed on the ticket with Gen. TAYLOR
on account of his Erie letter, In which he ex-
pressed as strong opposition to the institution
of slavery, as e,er Seward did. Gen. Scott was
nominated because, as MIR. Toombs says, he was
the choice of the Free-son wing of the whig
party Mr.. Graham was placed on the ticket

the Counter.

the Counter.
The undersigned having had their attention
called TO a communication published in the Man
chester Democrat of the 8th of January last, and
republished in the Washington Republic, of the
18th instant, purporting to give an account of
Gen. Pierce's speech at New Boston last winter,
deem it due to truth to make the following state
ment:
1--WE were all of us present on the occasion
referred to, and are therefore able to speak posi-
lively i'm regard to that report. We do not hes-
tate to pronounce it, without any qualifi-
cation, tissue Of falsehoods from beginning to
end. In whole and part, in substance and
detail, it is entirely false and grossly false and
was so denounced by those Of us who saw it at
the time of its original publication. No one ex
prission there imputed to Gen. Pierce is correct,
and most of them entire fabricatons, without
The slightest shadow of truth.
Gen. Pierce's speech on this occasion was an
able, bold and eloquent vindication of the course
pursued by the democratic party of the state in
recinding the nomination Of John Atwood, their
former candidate for Governor, on account of his
Joining with the aboltionists in their opposition
TO the compromise measures. He spoke of the
fugitive law as act in perfect conformity to
the requirements of the constitution, and one
that we were bound by the highest considerations
to observe and execute in good faith He alluded
to the arguments made use of by the higher law
politicians, and denounced their doctrines as
fanatical and dangerous. He showed that their
objections to the present fugitive slave law ap-
piled with equal force to the act of 1913, and
even the constitution itself The law of 1898,
be said had received the approval of Washing
ton and of many of the wisest and purest patri-
OTIS among the founders of our republic and he
considered these men as moral, as virtuous and
contentious as those noisy abolitionists who
were now trying to overthrow the institutions
they have established.
To us who are acquainted with the character
of the warfare of the abolition organs of this
state have been accustomed to wage against the
democratic party, communications in their col
luns like the one above referred to accession no
surprise. Here they can deceive no one. But as
a desperate attemp has been made abroad to
prejudice Gen. Pierce, by reviving some Of their
miserable falsehoods. we have deemed it'no more
than simple act of justice to publish over our
own signatures the foregoing declaration.

The Wings lament TO Gen. Scott.

! Ane w Rigs lament TO Gen. scott.
To you, General Scott, the hero of old Lundy
Lane,
We have submitted our fate in the present cam
paign;
But we fear you are entirely too proud, and to,
light,
The battle to win, in polite fight
II 'twere the British, or the Mexican foe,
Instead o. the great army Of the Dem-Loco,
Victory would surely crorn you in the fight,
And we could follow, knowing all would be
right.
But, Alas We have mistaken the man
For to be President, General Scott never can,
Which, too late, we now very clearly behold
In spite of the " Fuss and the Feathers" so old.
The old .. Ship Of State" already is sinking.
And of the bottom our pilot is thinking;
But to save the old vessel we can't for our souls
For doubtless, she is Pierced into thirty-one
holes.
We thought because General Pierce tainted and
fell,
While you were giving the retreating Mexican's
h-N,
He would stand not the least showing at ALL
To win the great battle to be fought next fall
But sure at home he fights much better,
And to the 3 -Four Winds our army he'll scatter;
Nor viii his horse from under him fall
Until to the heart he has ierced us all.
In eighteen hundred and forty and forty eight
We carried the Union-almost to State
By riding hobby, called '' Military Fame;'
But in fifty-two find that old critters lame.
Having drawn so many i" gcabjins' and poles
And barrels-with {" Cider1-flled up to their
holes
Eating Roast Beef. with wages, sstrcO dollars per
day."
He no longer on duty can be expected to stay.
So come Gen. Scott, in the retreat with us Join,
And let us no longer manufacture base coin,
But to hide our shame, disgrace. and chagrin,
Not even a & grease spot shall tell where we've
been. WHIG ARMY.

names of Colonel Roberts and Childs had
to be used, and it seemed to me unfair, not
to glance at the circumstances under which
they acted at the time. The former found
a grave in Mexico, and [ would do lit
tie justice to my heart, did / not say that
| esteemed him as a good, conscientious
man, and brave soldier; and have no
doubt that he was prompted in the affair
alluded to, solely by motives of humani-
ty, arising out of consideration such as
have mentioned.
With respect to Col. Childs, let me say,
in addition to what | have said, that but
for his care and kindness at Jalapa ex-
tended to me, at the precise line where
death and life meet, L, too in all proba-
bility, would have found a Mexican grave;
and that write this with no purpose to
criticise or find fault with his conduct,
and do not say that he may not have had
ample reason to Justify, in bis own opin-
ion, the course he pursued.
Of the transaction itself, [ know moth
ing except from the relation of others at
the time. All know is, that General
Scott never issued an order authorizing it,
and that he is in no wise more response
bic for it, whether right or wrong, merit
orious or otherwise, than he is for the
crimes committed by the criminals and
wrongdoers of his army.
We marched under his general march
ing orders, for glory, for our country, and
for the great cause of the human family
and to attribute to him, because we so
marched, an act of infamy committed by
any one Of us, as the consequence of his
order, for which he is to be held up to
public reprobation, would be and is as
wickedly unjust as to attribute to him the
affair Ihave alluded to, as the consequence
of his order on the subject, when all his
orders inculcate the largest exercise of
the rights Of conscience, and denounce
punishment upon these, whether friends
or foes, who would in anywise interfere
with them. Whilst he caused all the
rights, religious and civil, of the humblest
member of his army, to be respected, he
in like manner, caused all the rights, re-
igious and civil, of the Mexicans, to be
respected. All were held mutually and
reciprocany inviolate.
/ The orders that Gen. Scott did issue
on such subjects are before the country
and the principles contained in them,
whilst they illustrate the annals of the
war, will command the appreciation of ev-
cry right-minded man of the country, be
his creed (religious or politicaD what it

An Interesting Pfeacher.-A clergyman
was once sent for in the middle of the
night, by one of the ladies of his congre-
cation.
"Well, my good woman" said he, "sc
you are very ill, and require the consola-
tions of religion. What can 1 do fol-
you?"
"No," replied the old lady, 81 am not
very i'll. l am only nervous and can not
sleep"
"How can I help that ?" asked the
clergyman.
ooh, sir, you always put me to sleep
so nicely when l 60 to church, that !
thought if you would only preach little
for me"
They say that the parson swore; at
any rate he "made tracks" in less than
no time.

en- NUMBER In tne ear OF JonHj Ae quleIIy
pockets the money just as the school bel
rings, and they all go in to their books
John to rejoice in the success of his ex,
pertinent; and Charley, to anticipate the
pleasure his excellent cutting knife will
afford him.
As soon as the school is dismissed
while Charley is hunting for a good hard
stick to show the other boys how glorious
ly it will cut-John makes all haste for
home, to announce hissuccess, and to bank
his money. Almost out of breath he en-
ters the house, exclaiming, "Father, |
have sold that pewterfaced knife which [
bought of the pedlar at twenty-five cents,
for forty"
"Ah! have you! But how did you
manage? You didn't tell lie, did you,
Johnny? You must never lie you know.
"Oh, no sir. l sharpened it very nice
ly-took soft stick in my pocket, and
kept whittling-said nothing, and let them
bid"
"But who bought? and have you got
your money!"
"Charley Sumner, who always has mo-
ney, bought 1t, and here are the forty
cents"
"That's right; you should never lie, and
always get your pay down, to prevent af-
ter trouble. [ say, mother! Johnny is
pretty smart. We must make mer-
chant of him, eh-what think you?"
DWELL, he has done we'll with the knife,
surely, and 1 always thought he would be
somebody, and get rich; besides, Charley
is better able to pay high price for a
poor knife than Johnny. Bring the mo-
ney to me, my son, and I will save it for
you"
This was lesson number two, and the
boy, from this propitious beginning, kept
practising until he was old enough to en-
ter a store as clerk.
His father kept him short Of change for
his new situation, and desiring to appear
well with his associates, he began by bor-
rowing small sums from the money-draw-
er, designing to pay it out of the first re-
mittance. But the economical father, de-
string to keep him short, to teach him e.
economy, neglected the penurious remit
tance until the Boy mad secretly borrowed
the full amount of what he received from
his father, and he cannot pay it then; and
finally, after some struggles with his de-
faced conscientiousness, and urged by his
necessities, decided not to pay it at all.
He went on in this way, borrowing and
never paying, until he robbed his master
of large amount, and ended his life a
villain:
His parents pocketed few extra dol
lars for COW, by means of a circuitous
falsehood-t son imbibed the educa-
ton, and that education shaped his future

Tune-THe old Granite Rtate
Hark it thunders from the mountains,
And pours down through all their fountains;
YEA it reaches the tall fountains
OF far off Mexico.
Chorus.
We're a band of soldiers,
We're band of soldiers,
We're band of soldiers,
And our leaders name is Scott.
With his banner streaming,
And our weapons cleaning,
And fresh glory bearning,
We are fighting as he fought
He is mighty in the battle,
And, 'mid wars iron rattle,
Drives the foe like frightened cattle,
Before his conquering march.
Chorus.
With his band of soldiers,
With his band of soldiers,
With his band of soldiers,
He has won his mighty fame.
Hurrah hurrah! hurrah =!
Hurrah hurrah 4! hurrah
Then, mid banners streaming,
And old weapons cleaning,
We see glory beaming
Round our Hero's honored name.
With the gallant Graham near him,
The Locos all will fear him,
And the nation soon will hear him
Shout aloud our victory.
Chorus
With his brave Wing soldiers,
With his brave Wing soldiers,
With his brave Wing soldiers.
Naught can stay his proud career.
Then, with his banner streaming,
And our bucklers proudly cleaning,
We hail the bright day beaming,
With a heartfelt shout and cheer.
Lo the hosts cen now are rallying,
From every hilltop sallying;
They no longer can be dallyng
With foemaD such as Pierce.
Chorus.
For these brave Wing soldiers,
For these brave Whig soldiers,
For these brave Whig soldiers,
VIII sweep him from the field.
Then three cheers for Scott and Graham,
For the Locos must obey them,
And true Wing hearts will never fail them,
While our conquerer's in the field.
And with his brave Wing soldiers,
And with his brave Wing soldiers,
And with his brave Whig soldiers.
Naught can stay his proud career.
Hurrah! hurrah :! hurrah!!!
Hurrah hurrah! hurrah!.!
Like our good old sires before us,
We will shout aloud the chorus.
Till the heavens are Ger us
Shall rebound the loud hurra.
