The Wings rely exclusively upon General
SCOTS military services to elect him. "-Enquirer.
You are mistaken, neighbor! They rely upon
all his services. They know of no better eyi-
dence of mans ability and willingness to serve
his country than the fact that he has rendered to
it great services. They hold that General Scott's
military achievements do argue great devotion
to and love of country, and that they should not
constitute any objection to him They hold also
that his acts a negotator are little less bril-
! liant than his feats in arms and prove him as
eminently fitted for civil administration for
the conduct of war. The fact is, that General
Scott has been charged, in civil as in military
affairs with many Of the most delicate and i'm
portant trusts, and he has never failed in a sin
gle instance to execute them in the most perfect
and admirable manner. As was said by Cicero
Of pompey, o singular and remarkable good for
tune has attended all his undertakings He has
never failed in single enterprise, whether of
peace or war and the greater and more weighty
the matter in hand, the more signal and brilliant
has been his success. Like truly great man,
as he is, his genius rises to the occasion.
Ifgreat deeds, executed with unvarying success
through period of forty years, will not suffice
the Enquirer, adduee some other, which
may have happier effect. 1t is the authority
OF a Democrat, in whom the Enquirer was wont
to have confidence. An eminent Divine, late of
this city, speaking to citizen Of this place, re-
marked that Gen. Scott was one of the best in
formed men on all subjects, in or out of the pull
pit, with whom he had ever conyersed, This is
the testimony of all who know General Scott init
mately For long years, whenever not actually
engaged in military duties, he has been an indie
fatgable student.
! Some two or three weeks ago the Enquirer an
nounced that it would not enter Gen. Pierce as a
competitor with Gen. Scott on the score Of mar
tal achievements; and il at the same time
threw out some vague intimations about Il trained
statesman, and gave us to understand that it
would establish Gen 7 5 pretensions to that
honorable character We have waited in vain
for any evidences Of the pretension All Gen
Fierces legislative furnishes only two or

Men and Principles.

In the selection of Gen. Pierce as a candidate
for the Presidency, our friends on the other side
may have intended some meaning known to them
selves, or they may have been driven to that
nomination by feeling Of utter despair. That
or nothing might have been the alternatives be-
fore them We do not undertake to judge as to
their motives in the matter; but we submit it to
the common sense of the country il some apology
Is not due to the sovereign people Of this land
ior being summoned so unceremoniously and so
suddenly to cast their votes for u man for the
ngh once OF President whom they knew nothing
about whom they do not care for at alL per-
sonally considered; who has done nothing to con-
meet MS name with any benefcent public meas
ure; VINO, III fact stands simply on the general
level of common men, with no claim to more than
Il neighborhood popularity, or to such distinction
as New Hampshire bestows upon her Hills and
| Hales.
Let it not be supposed that we design in any
manner to depreciate Gen. Pierce. No. let him
have the full benefit of every estmable quality
which his character has disclosed since his nomi-
nation for the Presidency, with gracious oblivion
of every fault or weakness that may have beset
him before. We could wish that he were
worthier and an ADLER man than even his eulogists
dare venture to represent him. For the Wing
champion, in the panoply of his power, deserves
foe of some rcpute, whose discomffIre may
add something to the trophies Of his prowess. 1t
was deemed too great an honor III ancient times
for ignoble soul to have it to boast that he fell
beneath the spear of Achilles .
! We have, therefore, nothing whatever to say in
disparagement of Gen. Pierce. If his friends
will make tolerable eulogies upon him, such as
may be read without too much violence upon
eredulity, we will quote the most eloquent pas
sages from the same, and give them to our readers
with appropriate notes and comments. Can
charity go further We will lend our humble
aid to adorn the victim for the sacrifice next
November-so that he may go, for his country 8
good and his own, with gallant bearing to his
doom; and he shall bid adieu to all those
aspirations for the Presidency which the unkind
othciousness of mistaken friends has thrust upon
his unambitious soul, he may exclaim with heart
felt sincerity, in the language of Cassius, :" This
parting was well made. :"
No doubt of it. The voice of the country which
shall pronounce in favor of an older and better
soldier will be regarded by Gen Pierce as proc
lamation of justice, to which, in the modesty of
his nature, he will bow-and in his inward con-
victons, no doubt, he will look upon the Office Of
President, as he did upon that of General, as q
post for which he is, by education, habits, and
capacity, altogether unfit

Native and Adopted.

The constitution suggests but little difference
between native and adopted citizens; the Ameri.
can people generally desire to make none and
adopted citizens stand greatly in their own light
when they do
AT meeting of German citizens in New York,
few days ago, it was resolved that they hail the
nomination of Winfield Scott and William A. Gra-
ham as happy one; that they give it their
hearty approval and will support it in the cleo
ton /; that they, as Amercan citizens Of German
birth, aim at realizing those elements of progress
which are contained in the principles of the ma
tional Wing party that they will use their efforts
to spread the principles Of liberty and independ-
ence upon which our Union is based, and fol
which our heroic leader, Major General Winfield
Scott, has risked his life in numerous battles
that, as German-speaking Americans, they do in
nowise intend to separate themselves from their Eng
Hsh-&peaking Jelowcitzens or aim atseparate ends,
but 0ish to become cordially united NTH them in gooQ
harmony for a common cause-the prosperity of the
people, the advancement Of our countrys well-6eng,
and The principles Of liberty and independence upon
whaeh this Union is founded.
Such sentiments as these do honor to the men
who express them, and give the best possible
guarantees of the devotion of their professors
The attempts hitherto but too often successfully
made by our opponents, by appeals to citizens OF
European BIRTH as such can no longer avail,
when such views as these are entertained and
thus another of the arts of demagoguism falls to
the ground.

A Fedcralist.

A New Hampshire paper, says the Richmond
Wing, undertakes to stgmatze Gen. Scott, by
calling him "Federalist" 1t does not conde-
scend to inform us what sort of a Federalist-
:" blaok-cockcade' or blue-ight" If either of
these, if history does not lie and people are not
inconsistent, he should be very popular in New
Hampshire; for the Granite Hills were very pro
life of both these sorts of Federalists
Gen. Scott was supporter of Mr.. Jefferson
and received his first commission at his hands
He was the friend and supporter of Mr.. Madison
and Mr. Monroe, and received from both these
great men the most distinguished marks o.
friendship and honor. He was pre-eminently the
hero of the War of 1912, and his body was
loaded with British lead If his support of JEFF
ferson, Madison, and Monroe, and his over
whelming defeats of the British, constitute him a
Federalist he is one of the rankest to be found
Perhaps the New Hampshire Patriot can tell
us what militiamen those were who, when the
British, on the heights Of Queenstown, by mere
dint of numbers, were overwhelming and butch
ering American soldiers, stood with folded arms
on this side of the Niagara, and refused to bulge
to their assistance, from constitutional scrupes.
May be they were modern Democrats from New
Hampshire !-Fdirmount Va Republican.
