"Gen. SCOTS Quarrels."

The Locofoco papers are publishing q
list Of twelve or more quarrels which,
they say, Gen. Scott has had during the last
half century he has been fighting the bat
ties of his country. We suggest that they
add three or four more Just for the variety
of the thing. Here they are:
He quarreled with the British Govern
ment in 1912 or Id, and taught them the
respect they were glad, at that early day,
to exercise towards American arms and
American commanders. himself included.
He quarralled with the wild rowing saw
agos of the Southwest, and brought them
to state of meekness and quiet they have
not yet forgotten.
He adjusted quarrel which the admin
istration of General Jackson had forced
upon it by the nulifers of South Carolina
and really made them believe the supreme
cy of the law above their petty grievances.
He had several serious quarrels with
Santa Anna and other Mexican generals; so
serious, indeed, that he was compelled to
pepper them, and their whole command
with cold lead. The Mexican government,
backed up by an imbecle administration at
home, could not prevent his quarrels with
them, or the choice of weapons he felt it his
duty to use, in the defence of his country S
rights. He kept right on, not regarding
the "fire in the rear" or the difficulties
ahead, and conquered an honorable peace
His war equipage was securely lain away
while he and his brave companions 'revel-
led in the halls of Montezumas." In his
dispute with the Mexicans, he taught eight
thousand half disciplined troops to conquer 6
country containing several millions Of in
habitants.
He quarreled with the "Polk and Dallas .
administration in 1916, and taught it to res
peet the ''hero of three wars" Polk and
Marcy had an idea that the laurels Scott
had won in Mexico should be equally di
vided between the president and his writ
/, ing master"
He at present has a remarkable misun
Outstanding and dispute with the Locoiocc
party. They question the propriety o
electing ''mere military men, to the highes
honors of the Republic. This quarrel thu
people will settle in November.

TELLING NEGROES FoRTuYEs.-This
new device for running of slaves-as prac-
ticed at Lexington, Mo.-has been attempt
ed here, and may become fashionable else
where. A man calling himself by the Gu
phonious name of Benjamin Franklin James
Brown, has been hanging around here for
some time-tall, talkative and yankee-born.
A vigilant eye had been kept on him for
some time, from the disclosures of negroes,
with whom he carried on nightly cores
pondence, and who had grown suspicious
that he wanted to steal them for sale.
He was arrested last Wednesday night,
but the testimony not being sufficiently le-
gal to convict him, he was let off on proinis-
ing the vigilance committee to leave the
county instanter. lie was afterwards the
same night, seen providing around in the
back part of the town, and strong efforts
were made to catch him when he would un-
doubtedly have been lynched. During the
pursuit pistol was fired at him, but by the
tallest kind of running he succeeded in
reaching the bushes. Others are suspi-
cioned, and win be closely watched; and an
example should be made of the first one
known to be tampering with the negroes. -
The community cannot be too much on their
guard against the evil intentions OF low
white men who are infesiing the country
without honest means OF / livelihood -

Another Affidavit.

Here is another affidavit, in addition to
the many we published last Tuesday, in re-
lation to the remarks of General Pierce in
his New Boston Speech. The reader will
see, that, like those already published, it is
strong and directly to the point. No Dem
ocratic editors of good sense, none whose
brains are in a better state of preservation
than the yolk OF an added egg, have any
doubt of the strict truth of these afidavits,
but they know that they cannot admit the
truth of them without giving up the Presi-
Dental election and all hope of the spells,
and sooner, than do that, they would pre-
tend to feel the loitiest scorn for the oaths

|, Philip N. Little, of Sutton, in the coun-
ty of Merrimack, and State of New Hamp-
shire, depose and say, that attended po-
litical meeting which was addressed by
General Franklin Pierce; who spoke at
length on the subject of negro slavery and
the Fugitive Slave law. He represented
slavery as having ever been a disturbing
element in our confederacy, and instanced
various historical facts to prove it. He re-

We're as much and as truly opposed 10 that
institution as any political party in the
State. He repeatedly expressed his aver
sionto slavery and the Fugitive Slave law,
in language fgreat force, declared that his
heart revolted at the surrender of fugitives
under the provisions of the law. The en-
tire remarks of Gen. Pierce on this sub
iect were of a decided character, and well
adapted TO promote the unity of the Demo-
cratic party by proclaiming the anti-slavery
sentiments of that party in general and Of
himself in particular, and the aversion of
both TO the Fugitive Slave law, the execu-
ton of which he and his party acquiesced
in as being necessary to the preservation of
the Uunion.
