from the Philadelphia Sum-
MILITARY Services.

The present political campaign has developed
a novel argument against military services, as
tending to induce love of war and aggression.
Until all the world becomes linked together in
one universal "peace society,"" armies to fight
and generals to command will be as necessary to
the welfare of nation as its executive, legisla-
tive, or judicial powers. The laurel of war
wreathes crown more acceptable to the masses
than the olive of peace. The mission of war,
however, is to conquer peace" and from peace
flows national wealth. This is the Interpretation
of the beautiful Athenian myth, which made the
God Of Riches the son of the Goddess of Plenty,
brought up under the fostering care of the God
dess of Peace. While &c nations rage" and hui
man nature is selfish and aggressive, misunder-
standings must occur and ia this world of bad
passions, where might too often makes right the
means of defence, and the services of men who
know how to husband those means, are as neces-
sary to the general prosperity as the plough and
harrow, or the sturdy husbandmen to direct
them. The duty Of the citizen to bear arms is a
plain one in our republic it is privileged duty
while in monarchies it is often compulsory. The
forced levies of Europe, and the mercenary spirit
which instigated the Hessans to lap the German
eagles in the blood of our revolutionary patriots,
are the attributes of Ate, melting man to evil,
and spreading commotion among nations. But
the proud position of the citizen soldier is beaut-
fully illustrated in the life and character OF George
Washington. He cultivated the arts of peace,
and titled the ground, until his country's wrongs
aroused him, and then he was the patriot warrior,
the heaven directed general, and by its blessing
the triumphant conqueror. Viewing then, mill
tary services in a land of freedom as part of the
high privilege which all enjoy who "know their
rights, and knowing, dare defend them, we have
been struck with the inconsistency which depre-
ciates the value of those services in General
Scott when but short time since the entire ma.
ton rang with his praises as the conqueror Of
Mexico, who wrested peace from our enemies,
and acquired vast possessions, untold wealth, and
universal renown for his country. Why cannot
politicians argue upon principles, instead OF seek
ing to strike down character justly acquired 7
This is one of the mysteries ofpartisanship which
we cannot unravel

what or Pennaxlxanias

Since Friday last the Locos of this city have
been in high gee because Of their belief that the
Hon. Lewis G. Levin had sold himself and the
whole Native American party to the friends Of
Pierce and King They have shouted over it,
Dragged over it, and bet uponits effects Whether
it is true or false, they best know. But such has
been their exultation that we are well convinced
it was to them much-desired result
This morning, however, we find in the Penn
sylvanian the following:
UNHoLY CoALITIoN.-We learn that the
Wings and Natives have formed an amalgama-
ton ticket for this city and county. We have all
the particulars, and shall make them public in
due season."
So, then, it is your bull that has gored my OK!
If this shall prove true, we win expect 10 hear
terrible ado about it. 1t will of course be an
+" unholy coalition" and all that
We know nothing of the intentions of the Ma
tive American party of Philadelphia. We know
that before the nominations their sole and able
organ declared them to befor Mr.. Fillmore-that
Mr.. Fillmore himself is now ardently for Scott
that change from Mr.. Fillmore to General Scott
is by far a more easy and natural transition than
from Mr.. Fillmore to General Pierce; and that
if the Natives are consistent men, this is the
course they will be most likely to take And we
certainly should not refuse vote, the bare hope
of obtaining which has afforded so much delight
to our opponents
The Natives have dealt severely with Genera,
Scott; yet they may still prefer him to General
Pierce and they may even do this without eff.
fecting any "unholy coalition" We are clear fol
their doing as they please-acting as freemen
upon their own unbiased convictions.

following:
LAueHABLE AFFAIR AT CoScoRD.-At one of
the churches in Concord, where General Pierce
usually attended public worship on the Sabbath,
the clergyman, the Rev. Geo. Scott, shortly after
the Generals nomination Mt Baltimore, COM
menced the morning service by reading hymn
from Watts selections, and, on coming to this
line
"Ths fearful soul that tires and faints,'
his eye happened to fall on the pew where the
General sat Instantly all eyes were turned in
the same direction, and all the blood left by the
Mexicans in the hero's body seemed to rush to
his face.
After the close of the morning service, several
of Gen. Pierce's political friends called upon the
Rev. Mr.. Scott and charged him with intention
ally directing the attention of the congregation
toward the General. He assured them that they
were mistaken but they wouldn't be satisfied
Throughout the ensuing week there was great
commotion and discord in Concord, and, ON the
next Saturday, such Of Pierce's friends as were
members of Mr.. Scotts church called church
meeting and proposed to dismiss their PASTOR
whereupon a vote was taken by ballot and re-
suited as follows: For retaining the Rev. Mr..
Scott as pastor Of the church, AZ for dismissing
him. a; blank, 2. When the result of the bal
loting was made known, one of the jealous friends
of the Rev. Mr.. Scott sang out" Hurrah for
Scott" Another, probably associating this hur-
rah for Rev. Mr.. Scott with the idea of the
coming Presidential election, proposed nine
cheers for Scott and Graham, which were hear
tily given, when the church meeting adjourned
without day.

Eloquent and Truthful.

Major Alexander B. Bradford, of Mississippi,
Major of the lst Mississippi regiment Of rifemen,
delivered a speech at Memphis on the 10Th of
August, in which he thus referred to certain
charges made against Gen. Scott, by Col JEFF.
Davis, a few weeks previously, at the same
place:
"Col Davis told you, fellow citizens, that in
all of those qualities which command the affec-
tons and the confidence Of those around him,
Gen. Scott is singularly wanting, being proud,
petulant, vain, and presumptuous.
" Ii 1t be proud to pay strict attention to the
wants of the poor soldier-to visit the dreary and
pestilential hospital and wipe away the moisture
from the fevered brow of the sick-to wait upon
the cholera patients Of the army-to raise the
dying soldier from his CORY bed on the battle
field and stanch his bleeding wounds-if it be
proud to do these things, then Gen. Scott is a
very proud and naughty man.
+" If it be petuldnt to curb the restless and un-
ruly officers of the army--to hold them down
with hand of iron, and make them behave them
selves like good soldiers and gentlemen; if it be
petulant to be tight on the officers and good on
the men'-if this be petulant, then Gen. Scott is
something of petulant and peevish man.
I" If it is uafn to apparel himself the eve Of
a battle, according to the rules and regulations
of the service, with his golden epaulets on his
shoulders, and his tall plume towering above
b m, so that friend and foe may know his grade !;
and then to plunge into the battle where the con-
fict is fercest, where the bullets rain thickest,
and where the carnage reigns deadiest-if this
be vain, am afraid Gen. Scott is vain glorious
man! Tremendous applause.
:" If to know that be possesses as much skill,
promptitude, and judgment as any man of the
age in the planning Of campaign, reducing a
fortress, or in drawing up the programme of a
pitched battle, SO clear in its details, so auspi
cious in its success, that it would seem as if the
victory was won before the battle was Fought
this be presamptuous, then we must conclude,
with COL Davis, that Gen. Scott is very pre-
sumptuous man. [Cheers.
