EMrTy1NG HIS PocKETs.--Many years
agoa collection was taken up in his native
town to the purpose Of increasing the Sum
day School Library, and remember with
pride the satisfaction it gave me TO see
Gen. Pierce empty his pockets as freely as
he did for that good object Cor. Boston
Post.
The editor of the Manchester IN. H. }
American, on seeing this paragraph, was
wicked enough 10 hunt up the record of the
benevolent deed. He publishes a copy of
the original document, dated March, 1927,
which records the wonderful generosity of
the marvellous Pierce upon the memorable
occasion in question. The names of all the
contributors are given with the sums con-
tributed by them respectively. Opposite
the name of Pierce, who is now publicly
gloriied as having freely emptied his pockets
i'll the sacred cause, is set down the sum of
TwENrY-FIvE CENTS!
The Posts correspondent beheld General
Pierce give twenty-five cents for the pur-
chase Of Sunday school library and felt a
pride similar TO which Gov. Steele, about
four years later, experienced on beholding
the same Gen. Pierce put his hand into his
pocket, draw out cent, buy stick Of
candy, and give the candy to a boy who was
4 total stranger to him.
We breathlessly await the exposition of
other illustrious instances of the liberality
and generosity of the New Hampshire
Yankee.

II The Richmond (Va.) Wing reviews
the state of parties at the South, and says
of Virginia:
We are glad to receive the most salts
factory information from all parts of the
State, as to the state of feeling existing
among the rank and file of the people. The
prospect ahead is indeed most cheering
The mass of the people are just beginning
to appreciate the true issues involved in the
pending contest. The bright halo of glory,
Shed on nations history, by the heroism,
bravery and patriotism of Scott, can't be
dimmed by the breath of scandal, or dimin-
ished by the detractions of party vitupera-
ton! The feelings of admiration for Scott
cannot be counteracted by the effort 10 black
en- his name, as noted for virtue and purity
as it is for patriotism and heroism. We
can assure our country friends that the me
tropolis of Virginia is fully alive to the i'm
portancc of the occasion, and will do her
whole duty.

The Fishery Difficulties.
WAsHINGroN, July 81


The Intelligencer of this day reviews the
Fishery question, concluding an article with
the expression of his opinion that the time
has come for us TO cease demonstrating and
protesting upon the subject. We must eli
Their abandon our pretensions and inform
the citizens that the construction of the
treaty for which the English contend is the
true one, and that they must govern them
selves accordingly, or abide the consequent
ces, or we must insist upon our construc-
ton, and maintain our rights under an ade-
quate force, or submit to arbitration for the
settlement of the true construction of the
treaty.
The Intelligencer contends that the En-.
glish construction is the true meaning of the
treaty.

Democratic Testimony for Scott.

We have, says the Washington Republic,
heard great deal about the dissatisfaction
expressed by two or three Union Wing
journals in Georgia, in reference TO the
nomination of General Scott; and the Wash
ington Union still labors indcfatigably TO
produce an impression that the whole COM
promise press of that Statc-Whig and
Democratic-is united in favor of Mr..
Pierce. We have proved, on the contrary
that reliable Wing papers have given in
their hearty adhesion to Scott in Georgia as
well as in every other Southern State; and
we now append evidence that at least one
Union Democrat is prepared to follow their
example. We quote from the Macon (Ga. }
Citizen, an able and influential Democratic
authority:
First, then, on the score of personal SER
rlce TO the country, who takes the pam?-
Answer, General Winfield Scott, mem. con.
I'd. On the ground of ability, honesty,
and other qualifications, to whom shall the
reward be rendered? Again, we say, to
Gen. Scott. Gen. Pierce has never shown
any extraordinary capacity for civil or mill
tary government.
Sd. On the score of principle, TO whom
shall we give the preference? We fancy
that this point is a matter Of taste or opin-
ion. As Democrat of the Jackson and
jefferson school, our preference individually
would be given TO Gen. Pierce, decidedly,
because Oh all the past issues which have
divided the people, our affinities and feel
ing have been with the Democracy of the
country. But the question arises, are not
all these old issues obsolete, defunct, or set
tied? If they are, then we would give up
our preiudices in favor of Gen. Pierce, SO
far as they are concerned.
4th. As to Soul,dneSS on the great question
in which the South is deeply interested,
which of these candidates is the most &C
ceptable to Georgians? General Pierce is
Northern man-Scott SoHhener and
stakeholder. Gen. Pierce voted in Con-
gress TO receive Abolition petitions. Gen.
Scott has no such sin to answer for. Gen.
Pierce has accepted the Democratic nomi-
nation, and placed himself upon the plat
form of the Democracy. Gen. Scott has ac-
cepted the nomination of the Wing Conven-
ton, and placed himself on its PLATFORM
Both platforms are good enough--one adop-
ted by the Wings, as a condition precedent ia
the nomination, and that adopted by Pierce
and the Democrats, as a condition subsequent,
when the Convention was in disorganized
and confused state, and more than half the
members had left. On this head, therefore,
we opine there is but little to choose between
the nominations; but the tendency of things
is in favor of Gen. Scott.
We would not detract an iota from the
fame or services of Pierce. We would moi
throw single blot on the escutcheon of his
revolutionary ancestry. Distinguished as
Gen. Pierce may be in the annals of his coun-
try, when compared with the lofty patriot.
ism, brilliant services, and glorious fame o
his competitor, he is q pigmy alongside of f;
giant! With the lights then before us, ant
no third candidate intervening whom W.
may like better, we cannot hesitate to give
our support to Gen. Scott.

CHURCHES OF THE CANDIDATEs.-The
Presbyterian, religious paper of high char
acter, publishes letter, said to be from the
pen of DR.. Junkin, from which we ascertain
these facts:
General Scott is Protestant Epscopa-
liam, and worships at 81. Johns Church,
Washington. Mr. Graham is by birth and
education Presbyterian, though not COM
municant Of any church; and as his lady is
member of the Baptist church; he worships,
part of the time, with that denomination
Gen. Pierce is by education a Congrega-
tionalist, though not a member Of the
church. Mr.. King is Protestant Episco-
palian in his preferences.
