t5sy In compliance with our promise Of las
week, we publish some very choice specimens o.
the Scott correspondence for the purpose Of
showing the peevishness and petulence of thi.
vain-g glorious, would be President 1t appears
to us that Gen. Scott entertained the opinion
during the whole time he was in Mexico, that il
was absolutely necessary the great l. should
guard my personal rear; not from any enemy
in Mexico, but against an expected fire from
friends at home.
1t will be seen by the letters we publish this
week, that Mr.. N. p. Trist was clothed with suf-
ficient plenary powers, to conclude and settle
upon the terms of an armistice, and to conclude
a treaty Of peace. Mr.. Trst was also entrust-
ed with dispatches from our Government to the
Government of Mexico, to be by him handed to
General Scott, with preemptory order from
the President of the United States, for General
Scott to forward said dispatches tothe then ex-
listing government of Mexico. Mr.. Trist took
the earliest opportunity to deliver to General
Scott said dispatches, with the order of the
President; which dispatches General Scott de-
clined forwarding as directed, and returned them
to Mr.. Trst, with very disrespectful letter,
abusing not only Mr.. Trist, but our Government
at home
General Scott, in the working of his vanity,
had firmly settled ia his own mind, that he was
clothed with all the power that could be cor
ferred by mortal. In fact conceived the idea that
our Government, on account of its Democracy,
had no business to interfere Hence the contu-
macy and willful disobedience of orders. For
which, had Andrew Jackson been for the time
being, at the helm of our Government, General
Scott would have been relieved from the COM
mand in Mexico, and ordered home in the dis
grace which he so justly merited
Now to illustrate in faint manner the vanity
of this candidate whose brains lay in his epau-
letts," you have only to see him in fashionable
crowd, and by watching him you will notice he
has discovered star in the crowd that he con-
descends to speak to, he commences jamng
showing, pushing and crowdng along at a great
rate, perfectly regardless of his own limbs or the
lives or comfort of the Gnferior beings-inferi-

President ofthe United States, understanding
as do to him, for this special purpose in pre-,
cisely the same relation that one of your aids.
de-camp bears to yourself, when entrusted with
verbal order from you to n subordinate officer
Il do hereby convey to the general-in-chief OF
the army.
You will now, sir, trust, understand, when
the communication referred to shall again be
placed in your hands, that greatly deficient in
wisdom as the present (and indeed any demo-
cratic) administration Of the government must
necessarily be, it has not, in this particular in
stance, fallen into so egregious blunder as to
make the transmission and delivery of that com.
muncation dependant upon the amiable aflabili-
ty and gracious condescension of General Win
field Scott.

observation-disclosures, in the All-wisc dispensa-

RY CLAY, whose name, like WAsHINGTON's is first
In the hearts OF his countrymen, for his virtues,
his patriotism, and the many services he has rem
dered to our common country, in times of peril
by his wisdom, and the power of his eoquence
And whereas, it becomes us as American citizens
to acknowledge at all suitable times our appreca-
ton of the country's great Benefactors Therefore
ResOlced That in the death of this truly great
and good man, we deeply deplore the loss of true
and devoted patriot, sage and statesman, of un-
rvalIed honesty, wisdom and ability, the accom-
plished Minister the greatest and best of Senators,
and the most able and fearless of legislators; that
in his death feel have lost for time the pO-
lar star Of our political destnes.
Resolved, That we sympathize with the nation
at large. and particularly with his more immediate
compeers and associates at Washington, i'm the
loss the nation has thus sustained.
Resolced, That we regard the last great public.
measure originated and proposed by him The
Compromise of 1880 as browning his memory with
undyng fame, as wise and patriotic statesman.
ResOlued That we accord to the departed states
man through the whole Of his long and useful life,
purity of heart and honesty of intentions and that
If he ever erred, we believe that error chargeable

widow and family of the lamentcd CLAY: in their
great bereavement.
ReSolced, That the proceedings Of this meeting
be signed by the chairman and secretaries and for

your overtures, you refer that question to me
and all the securities belonging TO it. The safe.
ty of this army demands no less, and am re-
sponsible for that safety, until duly superseded
or recalled. Indeed, from the nature of the
case, if the enemy, on your petition, should be
willing to concede an armistice, he would, no
doubt, demand the military guaranty of my
signature, for his own safety R i"
Should you, under the exposition of circum-
stances have given, visit the movable head
quarters of this army, shall receive you with
the respect due to a functionary of my govern
ment; but whether you would find me here at
Perote, Puebla, or elsewhere, depends on events
changeable at every moment
The sealed despatch from the Department of
State ! suppose you to desire me to hold until
your arrival, or until shall hear farther from
you.
remain, sir, respectfully,
your obedent servant,

to the Senate, and without discussion, a resolu-
ton was agreed to, by vote of to 9, that in
the event of its suspension by the people, its
operation should be indefinitely postponed, and
not simply for one year, as the bill sent in from
the House provides. The resolution came
down to the House for concurrence and was
definitely postponed in that body by majority
of seven. There is no hope of the Senate re.
ceding from the vote on the resolution; so the
bill may be almost considered as postponed I'M

~ The Glorious Fourth passed off here,
gloriously-just as old John Adams foretold,
" there were bonires, Examinations, ringing of
bells and firing of cannons," besides the din of
fire-crackers and the shout of urchins, all of
which lasted about three days; as the 4th came
between two days, Sunday came in for its share
of patriotic feeling.
The ladies--bess their hearts, were the prime
movers in the celebration. Their picnic was a
love of a thing, got up at short notice, in fine
taste and abounded in good things, both eatable
and drnkabe. Our friend, celebrated for his
large understanding, the host of the Washing
ton House, presided at the table The Decla-
ration was read by &. Torrey Esq, and the
toasts by Hon. 7. w. Ferry, and responded to
by all the above named gentlemen, also by M.
b. Hopkins, Esq, Edward Dalton, Esq, Eve

was paramount and the day will be remembered

WASHINGTON. June "a.

WASHINGTON, June "a.
The Union publishes the following letter from
franklin Pierce, accepting the Democratic nom
ination for the Presidency:
GENTLEMEN: have the honor 10 acknowl-
edge your personal kindness, in presenting me,
this day, your letter officially informing me of
my nomination by the Democratic National
Convention, as the candidate for the Presidency
OF the United States The surprise with which
received the intelligence of my nomination
was not unmingled with painful solicitude; and
yet 1t Is proper TO say, that the manner in which
it was conferred, was particularly gratifying
The delegation from New Hampshire, with all
the glow Of State pride and with all the warmth
OF personal regard, would not have submitted
my name to the Convention, nor would they
have cast vote for me, under circumstances
other than those which occurred. shall ALWAYS
cherish with pride and gratitude the recollection
OF the fact that the voice which first pronounced
alone, came from the Mother of States-a pride
and gratitude rising above any sequences that
can betide me personally. May not regard it
as fact pointing to the overthrow of sectional
]ealousles, and looking to the permanent life and
vigor OF the Union, cemented by the blood of
those who have passed to their reward--a Un-
ION wonderful in its formation, boundless in its
hopes, amazing in its destnes.
accept the nomination, relying upon an abb
ding devotion to the interest, honor and glory
OF the whole country, but above and beyond ali,
power superior to all human rcht--a power
| which from the first gun of the Revolution, in
every crisis through which we have passed. in
every honr of acknowledged peril, when the dark
clouds shut down around us, has nterposed. as
if to battle human wisdom, outmarch human
forecaste, and bring out of darkness the rainbow
of promise. Weak, myself but in faith and
hope repose my security. Iaccept the nomna
ton upon the platform adopted by the conven-
ton, not because it is expected of me as can
dldate, but because the principle it embraces
command the appreciation of my Judgment; and
believe | can safely say there has been no word
or action in my life in conflict with them.
have only to tender my grateful acknowl-
edgments to you, gentlemen, to the Convention
OF which you were members, and to the people
OF your common country.
am, with the greatest respect
Your most obd't Servt,
