The CANDY SToRY.--Our wing friends
seem to I've very much tickled with the sio>
ny that Gen. Pierce once gave a little boy
a cent, to purchase candy with. They pa
rade this frivolous occurrence before the
public with all the ostcntation Of a polili-
cal argument. A cent in New Hampshire
is equal to a dime in Louisiana--and it is
only four years since. that the nominee OF
the wing party for President, was too stin.
gy to pay a dime postage on the letter
from the President of the wing conventions
informing him that he had been nominated
Tor the highest office in the world Gen.
Scott isthe stingiest man on record, never
having given a dollar in charity or enter.
prise in all his HE. He can squeeze a hal
eagle between his fingers till yellow juice
runs out OF it. When the wings can pro.
duce a man more liberal than Gen. Pierce,
they may then cast stones at him.

Gen. Pierce,
THE CATHOLICS.

Perhaps there was never a more weak
and transparent. yet malignant efot 10
cast injury upon a man, than that which
the wings are usIg TO fasten tho rsi onfi-
biliiy OF a certain clause ia The New lamp
shire constitution, relating TO Catholics,
upon Gen. Pierce. Because New lamp
shire las chosen to administer a test oath
to feIigionists-or because she msy have
any other constitutional defect, is Gen.
Pierce responsible for IL? II we iecollect
Alright, this anti-C Catholic clause in the con-
s%titution Of New Hampshire was invented
by the wings, when they had a majority in
that State, and when they yet entertained
a fIiaI affection for the " mother Church, +"
Of England. Gen. Pierce has always adj
vocated the repeal Of this odious constitu-
tionaI restriction ; Int the majority Of the
people Of his State, decided against him.
Gen. Scott is a citizen OF New Jersey,
where the amalgamation Of The white and
negro races is partially tolerated and he
could be blamed with the binh Of every
bastard negro child In that State, just as
well as Gen. Pierce can be censured for the
existence of the anti Catholic clause ia the
New Hampshire Legislature. Why don't
Gen. Scott go to work and break down the
abominable tendency to negro amalgama-
ton, in his State! Is il less horrible to
see a buck negro's arms around the neck
Of a white girl than it is TO have a religious
iest in a State constitution? We advise
our wing friends to sse that their oy n cas-.
tic is b~ullet,proof, before they sally forth
to attack their enemies. The Boston Ar
gus contains the following:
Gen. Pierce and the Constitution oil
New Hampshire-We are authorized TO
that Gen. Pierce, so far from approx
ng of that clause ia the Constitution of
New Hampshire which disqualifes Cath
,lics from holding certain Offices in the
State, is utterly opposed to snch proscrip.
lou, and, both by speech and vote, has ell
leavored TO erase this unjust clause from
he Constitution Of the State We shall,
a few days, have the official proceedings
IF the Convention in our hands, proving
facts, and clearing, in the most effec-
.ual manner, Gen. Pierce from all such big
,ted and anti-republlcan views. It will be
ound that this obnoxious feature in the
constitution of New Hampshire, has been
etained by the combined efforts of the
and 4botaioaistS, and that upon
hem the condemnation Of the free and lib
,ral should fall.

10 Speaking of slavery in the District Of
Columbia, Gen, Scott says;
"lIere, with the consent of the owners.
" or on the payment Of just compensation,
Congress may legislate at its discretion
This is a INDUSTRIOUS doctrine, fatal to the
interests Of the South. Once grant this
right to Congress to squauder the public
money in freeing negroes, and our end is
come. Who should be the appraiser OF the

miuee consisting OF such men as Seward.

friends would think $500 a very jus, com.

where is the money TO come from! viii
the North pay i out Of its " pocket!
No. no. it must come out Of the national

ey out of It's right pocket, which is to be put
into the left, by the Just compensation. -
The North will be oil wiunef. She will
have paid out but . trife, and gained her

This Is the deliberately ma,nred and de-
clared opinion and policy Of Winfield Scott.
