As our contemporary across the way ap-
pears to be determined not to render common
justice to Gen. Scott in this Native Amer
can matter or in any other, it is useless 10
discuss questions with him, even 1t by ridl-
cuie or defiance we could succeed in draw
ing him up to discussion, which we have
not yet been able to do. In Thursdays
Times he continues to make the old charges
against Gen. Scott vhich originated in the
N. York Herald in the form oil letter it pre-
tended was written by Gen. Scott, yet which
authorship it has not even attempted to proUe'
We have given our opinion on this subject

small editors would attempt to make political
capital. In return for republishing this let.
ter, we asked the Times to publish letter
from Gen. Scott and written several year:
ago, with brief extract from speech il
which he spoke in the highest terms of the
foreigners who had served under him at differ
ent times, and favored the naturalization o
any of them who had served year in thu
army or navy. The Times did not have tn
manly sense of justice, to thus place Scott il
his truly favorable position toward foreigner
before its readers, and has declined publish
ing those documents. Now we ask Germans
il not to tell them the whole truth in this mat
ter is not deceiring them! 1t is simply lik
charging man with crime before commu

Z ash Ready.

The London Times says that Gen. Pierce
viii, if elected, be AVAILABLE practical ally to
the commercial policy of Manchester and Bir-
mingham. That is broad hint that British
money ought to be expended freely at this
election, in order to insure from he United
States a "nation sanction and ;nviolable
establshm Mt OF the princil les of free trade"
So, gentlemen on the other side. John Bull
is ready to put up the cash to help out the
chances of General Pierce. He will stand
fat assessment fer the expenses of the can
vGss. The mill-owners and iron-mongers of
Britain have desperate stake in the issue,
and long more earnestly to beat Scott than
did G eneral Rail on the eve of that heroic
fight at Lundy's Lane. Let them have a
chance, then to prove their interest by mate
rial aid toward elect Ineering for the British
candidate. - " Y. TrItune.

Franklin Pierce is the cInIiIate now put

Gen. Jackson was long the idol Of the De-
mocracc party, and since his death, his great
deeds are embalmet i'll their memory. Cass,
Marcy, Buchanan, Dickinson and Douglas,
were among his earliest and have alw avs
been ranked among his most devoted friends.
On the other hand, Franklin Pierce. was, at
Il trying period in the history of the Old Hero
his lnveIerate enemy. % bite was his
hostility to him, that he turned his back upon
the Democratic party when that party took
up Gen. Jackson as Its candidate ior the Pre-
sldency, ana entered into u conspiracy with
the federal lawyers of New Hampshire
to deleat him! These facts are Notorious
Iney are Cn rcCoru, ant were Know to the
Baltimore Convention when, through the
agency OF some OF Gen. Jackson's ea:ly OPP
ponents, Pierce was brought forward 10 dc

The first

court martial on two charges. The first
was substantially, that Of withholding the
mems money placed in his possession for
their payment, for two months, and withhold
ing it Intentionally. The second was unof-
fcer-like conduct in speaking disresPect ul OF
a superior officer. On the first of these
charges, as we have said, he was acquitted
of all fraudulent intentions, and of anything
more serious than not having the formal
vouchers for about ffty-dollars, although the
Formally was all that was wanted to make
the proceedings entirely correct. On the
second charge, he was found guilty OF having
perior officer, and his conduct was thus de-
clared unoficer-like, but not ungentlemanly.
He was suspended on this last charge one
year, although the Court recommended the
remission of nine months of the suspension.
Now then, the article to which we allude,
after speaking of this first charge, as though
Gen. Scott had wilfully cheated his soldiers
out of their pay, thus concludes:
A court OF inquiry was he'd, which resulted
in the call of court martial. The court,
AFTER GIVING HIM FULL. HEARING, IN
CONSEQUENCE OF AMPLE TESTIMONY,
FOUND HIM GUILTY in qualified sense and
SUSPENDED HIM FROM COMMAND
FOR TWELVE MONTHS.
We give the capitals as we find them
This extract amply illustrates the character
of the whole article. 1t is intended to con-
yey the idea that Gen. Scott was found
guilty o stealing or swindling sin qualified
sense" and that he was suspended twelve
months for the crime, when in truth he was
found guilty of nothing criminal, of MOI aud
ulent intentions, and was suspended on dnotl.
er charge entirely, that of speaking disrespect'
fully Of superior officer.
Now what language should be applied to
the author of such SANDER as that article
and 10 those editors who knosoing its entire
falsity and its full criminality, stoop to repub.
lish it, 1t is probably better to apply nc
language to their rascally motives, but leave
the whole affair to the sober Judgment Of the
people.

The Louisville Journal touches off the cele-

"Here is very curious case. The nation

that u general system OF internal improve
ments is unconstitutional, and straighiwdy
the Democracy pass bill Tor half hundred
works OF internal improvement in the East,
the West, the North and the South, and rot z
Democratic Press can be found Candid enough
or bold enough to rebuke the act or to express
the slightest disapprobation oft. The Demo
cracy can undertake fifty works OF internal
improvement but they cannot think, honest
souls, OF such an enormity as a genercl System
OF internal Improvements! To ent,'r upon
fifty works is perfectly Consistent with the
constitution, but to enter upon general syss
TEN is the mcst horrible violation of the con-
stitution ever heard oil since the passage OF
the alien and sediton laws.
"llen of sense will readily see from this,
and from the late action OF the Democratic
House Of Representatives in distributing al
immense amount o! public lands among the
States, how much the Democratic platform
is worth. We should suppose that Dem
