To show what General ScoTr's companions

written by William Thompson, of Virginia. to
the Old Dominion. The letter can be found in
the life OF John. Randolph, by Hugh A. Garland.
Mr.. Thompson says
We have been visited by the young ladies of
Liberty Stock. and by its MENTOR Major Scorr.
Ihad rather hare his uisdomMaa Ncrton or Locke s.

The single fact that President Madison invited
Scott, when under twenty eight years OF age, into
his Cabinet, is evidence that in his early man
hood he one of the most extraordinary men
of the times, in respect to mental cultivation, po-
litical knowledge, and high craftsmanship. And
we all know that during the nearly forty years
that have since passed, his situations and occupa-
tions have been such as 10 increase vastly those
powers and mplzkule:its, which cary ,!istia-

Hi.,RY CLAY AND GEN ScoTr-In a recent
speech made by Hon. Edward Stanly. of North
Carolina, at great mass meeting in New York
the following passage occurs:
1T was stated ia some papers that Clay was
opposed to Scott's nomination This was not
true. That eminent statesman lived long enough
to hear of Scott's nomination., and to hear the
guns firing in honor OF him at the ratification
meeting and when asked if the firing should be
stopped, he answered, No! let the guns shout out
their wecome-their noise brings to me nothing
but satisfaction and JOY" (Applausel And next
to the knowledge Of having done his duty, came
the consolation in his dying hour, that if Scott
was elected: the country would have a repre-
sentative who would protect its best interests
(Cheers.)

Fact piled on Fact-The Cap.stOne
of the Pyramid.

The Manchester IN. H.) Union Democrat. an
organ of Gen. Pierce, following the example of
some OF his organs in the South recently stigma
tized the sworn witnesses to the truth of the re-
port OF Gen. Pierces New Boston speech as "Ab-
otionists." This has called out the highly re-
spectacle editor of the Manchester American and
Messenger, Wing paper, who gives an exposi-
ton which can scarcely fail to excite 'oathing''
and 'revoltingso in the hearts and souls of the
Southern Democracy. 1t appears that James
McCurdy, who signed one of the affdavits. is
gentleman of high responsibility who has been a
Democrat all his life, and that another of the
signers Is a Pierce man, an unequivocal Pierce
man, straigh out Pierce man. who wishes
Pierce elected to the Presidency though he does
not wish to see him lied into the Presidency
Read the following from the American and Mes
senger:
Let us therefore see who are the signers of the
affidavlts in favor of the authenticity OF Mr. Foss'
report. Who is Rodney McColom! He is
Pierce man. He a straight out Pierce man.
He is an uneqlLvocal Pierce man, and so far as
we are informed, of uneXceptionable character
When asked to make the affidavit he said he was
in favor of the election of Pierce, that he should
vote for Pierce, but he didn't wish to see him lied
into the Presidency. Who is James McCurdy9
He Is one Of the most independent farmers of that
respectable town. has friends and sons residing in
the South, was at the last election, when the town
of New Boston went Locofoco by large MAORI
ty elected one of the selectmen, and has all his
life been Democrat. Solomon McCurdy is his
son and is by no means an abolitionst Geo
Clark, Samuel Davis. Daniel Andrews, and Ma
than Hall are all Wings. They opposed to
the election of Pierce but it does not from that
follow that they are impelled by fate to swear to
lie. These are part of the who have
made affidavits of the correctness of MI Foss'
report.
Now let us make the acquaintance of some of
the sgners of Messrs. Aver, Campbell, & Co.'S
manifesto. That production, which carried evil
dence of its tasity its face, was made to order
in office of Manchester, and signed by twelve
residents of this city before it carried to New
Boston, where names Were obtained for it by all
sorts of equivocaion and subteruge. Strange
as, after the froth of the Union Democrat, it
may seem. the fifth name is an Atwood man.
standing precisely in the position of Mr.. J II.
Goodale, having seeded from the Hunkers at the
same time with him. and in the craft with the
whole company which the Union Democrat has
during the whole controversy termed "Aboliton-
ists!' Following this man are twenty-one others,
all Of them Atwood men.
