BRING our THAT LETTER!.

The question has been asked thousand times "did
Mr.. Pierce answer Robert G.. Scott's letter3 THIS
has been denied, in and unsatisfactory
manner, that the opinion prevails that either Mr.
| Picrcc's law partner, else, did reply to
Captain Scots letter. The opinion that letter has
been received from that quarter materially strengthen
ed BIZ the recent colloqay at Lousa q H., between the
man who went to bed private and Captain. and
his opponeat in hcdscussion, w. G. Scott gallant
| Wing.
In the course Of the discussion W. G. Scott Esq com
mentcd upo the fact that General Pierce had refused

ASK THAT QUESTION
Mr. W. q. Scott contended THAT he had right to ask
the question: as the fact Of the correspondence had been
made public; but Mr.. R. G. Scott refused to answer
Here we have what is taatamount to an acknowledge
ment that letter has been receyed-a letter too which
does net dance up to the music set by r. G. Scott but
one apoogetc for not seplying to- his earnest inquiry
whether hcb Mr. Pierce, in of an election to the
Presidency and in Of repeal Of the Fugitive Slave
Bal by Congress, whether he Mr. Pierce would veto
previously answer. What there to prevent an an
swer to the inquiry in the apologize letter If Mr. Pierce
meant to deal fairly with all sections Il the country P?
Why allow favorable an opportunity to pass when ii
was 80 easy matter to set himself right before the
South on this question Of momentous Importance But
MIR, r. G. Scott wouldn't fair an inquiry as
that addressed by w c. Scott the grounds that he
had no rightio ask him VIII the South be content with

addressed to his old constituents As this letter is
but the forcrnncr Of another promised at an carly day
We for the present forbear comment, and viii await the
second edition, to have ali sthc reasons before us
at once. We design attack on Mr.. Lyons But IL
that gentleman thinks himself privileged 70 publish
proneiamsnfos against the Whg party their candidate
and their position, with mpunity, he is mistaken So
far a. fr Lyons himself concerned, we would allow
his opposition Scott topass undecided and uncared for
But when he undertakes to furnish the Democrats with
his testimonials Of the soundness Of the New England
Democracy, must be pardoned for Investigating the
sources Of his information. When Mr.. Lyons is seen
in company with those, who, in 1913 rallied under Van
Burcn, in support Of the Democratic Frcesoilcrs and Of
whom the Union thus wrote but feel and express
surprise
