Good Advice.

Horace Greely in his Tribune Of the l0th gives some
good advice to the Wings, to the manner of con-
Quoting the Presidential canvass, which ii would be well
enough fOr our young Whigges who make speechs and
scrbble for the Journal read and consider The fol-
lowing pointed extract particularly refer to their al
tention:
As politician and candidate, Gen. Pierce is one Of
the kind to whom opposition labor Of love but
private citizen, have nothing to say OF him.
And respectfully request ell correspondents not TO
say any thing for our columns about his fanting falling
from his horse, anything implying disparagement OF
MS personal character his military exploits. With
that sort of warfare desire to have connection
and know that il is dsagreeable To Gen. Scott, be-
tween whom and Gen. Pierce the utmost personal cor.
diaiity exists.
