By- Gen. Pillow says that Gen.
Pierce, after falling from his horse at
Contreras-" lay all night among the
sharp pointed rocks of lava" Judge
Douglas says that the rocks Of lava
we're "red-hot." Now we demand
of the Colonels of the Times, who tell
us that they were eye witnesses Of
General P,'s misfortune, why they
didn't take him to comfortable quar-
tiers instead of permitting him to lie
all night upon the red-hot rocks There
would have been no danger of their
burning their feet, as We understand
they are always provided with sala-
mander-skin boots.
You should be ashamed of your
selves, Colonies, ;hus to haye/neglect-
your future nominee. Broiling all day
under a hot sun, is nothing at all to
broiling .all night upon burning lava.
The Concord (N.H.) Patriot says
that Gen. Pierce is 4" a kind-hearted,
peaeeable man, who never got into a
broil in his life," but, if he didn't get
into broil upon this occasion, there's
no truth in the " little giant. '-Loa-
