Without stopping to remark upon tie sub
lime impudence which could induce a late
Secession print to obtrude its advice upon the
friends of Mr. Fillmore. we propose to relieve
the Federal Union OF some Of its doubts as
to our position. In the FIRST place then, we
are dead against Mr.. Pierce dead against
the tassellated platform OF the Democratic
party and dead against everything which
the Federal Union advocates In the next
place. as between Scott and Pierce, we are
dead for Scott and dead against Pierce Re
cent developments demonstrate conclusively
that in many respects. Mr.. Pierce is a second

man with Southern principles. So little

As to Gen Scstt, it is due alike to him

misunderstanding is the result chiefly Of his
own conduct Had he declared before the
nomination, orii his letterg "a acceptance the
views he is now derstood to have expressed

have been no difficulty at the South Even
