Pierce says he accepts the nomination, plat
form and all, Sand it meets the approval oil
his Judgment He at the same time con-
fesses himself'the most surprised of all men,
whether surprised at the barren platform pre-
scented or not he does not say, but 'twould
not be strange that amid the 'noise and con-
FUSION that the announcement created In
the mind of the astonished General, that he
should accept and approve hiS code-and
why not! There could certainly be nothing
offensive in it, inasmuch as it contained moth
ing-and perhaps the General may have
been quite as sagatious as his Baltimore
friends were in discovering the Propriety OF
suppressing those superanuated and explo-
ded issues, which were to hang as milestone
about their necks if incorporated in their
platform.
Gen. Scott accepts the nomination togeth-
err with the platform made and adopted be-
fore nomination. Not one made to suit the
peculiar views of any candidate before the
convention, nor adapted to their peculiar
intellectual capacity, but one at once broad
and national in its import, strongly and dis
tinctly marked in every feature, and embod-
ying the principles and measures of the par
.ty and the nation. No other view can be
taken of Gen. SCOTS acceptance than that
he is willfully dishonest in so accepting, or
that he will strictly adhere to the maintain
ance of the same in all its parts. The
American people will not impute sinister
motives to Gen. Scott now, after having re-
peatedly tested his fidelity and patriotism in
the most important stations in their gift; both
civil and military, in which his uniform sue
cess is the best proof his capacity and hon
esty. The great and fatal error into which the
Democracy have have fallen in planning this
campaign, is their only ground of hope!-
Their hope of success is not in the strength
of their own code or candidate, but in their
imaginary weakness of Gen. Scott and the
Wing platform. In this they are doomed to
a disgraceful disappointment, and one which
they but too plainly foresee. Fearful apPre-
tensions and forebodings, have lead them to
the yilest abuse of Gen. Scott, which is on
ly to recoil upon their own heads to make the
awfully portentious defeat the more grevious
to be borne.

WADE's JEwELRY FoUND-BURGLAR AR
REsrED.-Our vigilant Marshal, Mr.. Glover,
returned yesterday from Cincinnati with a
customer in charge, in whose possession was
founi the jewelry stolen from the store of
Mr.. Wade a few weeks since. The burglar
is medium sized German, and says he has
been but about eight mon tbs in the country,
shrcwd, and well adapted to the business in
which he was caught. The young mans
prospects are flattering for his becoming a
resident Of our State for the next ten years.
The Marshal also brought down another
handsome young man, not exactly as felon,
but we very much question his sanity, judg-
ing from the manner in which he converses
upon the subject of politics.
We certainly think that any man who
doubts the election OF Gen. Scott, and who
has really convinced himself thatFrankPIe
is ever to be President'of the United States,
is peculiarly fortunate in falling into the
hands OF our kind Marshal, who delivered
him over to his friends with the admonition
that he would not do to travel.

10 The Louisville Times of the 18th pub
fishes letter, over the responsible signature
of three stars dated ''Mosy Creek
&C." which it offers to its readers as addition
al evidence of the pride and haughtiness of
Gen. Scott.
A Mr.. Taylor, is introduced as the agriev-
ed character in the farce the Times is at
tempting to play; and as we conceive him
never to have had existance except in the
visionary Imagination of the "Four Colo
nels," we shall not faint, fearing that his
ghost will rise up in judgment, and with the
gunpowder potency OF the Times, defeat Gen.
Scott.
Speaking OF further evidence" we regard
this fabrication, as only another manifestation
of the strong proclvity of the Times, to give
falsehood and SANDER, precedence of all other
matter in their columns, whenever it relates
to political adversary. When will these
military gentlemen say something about
Gen.Pierce's qualifications for the,presidency!
Has he none! Why are you silent on this
subject! Your readers would Ike to hear
your views.
