MIA Democratic paper says that Gen. Scott mao
to use Pierces legal abilities in making the Ami
stice at the battle of Mexico, and that had Scott
followed Pierce's military opinion, the army would
have been saved thousand men, who were sac
rifced by Scotts being overreached by Santa An
ma. If our memory serves us Alright, grand
charge of the Democracy against Scott ut the time
of his trial, was, that he should not have made
the Armistice, and now, behold! the Democracy are
for giving the merit, ately discovered by the De-
mocracy, it seems,) of that Armistice, to the LIZ
GAL abilities of Gen. Pierce. A novel discovery
trueiy, well worthy the dscoverer!! What nexti
But had the military abilities of Gen. Pierce been
but allowed free scope, what saving OF human
life! Wonderful!! In other words, had Scott and
the whole American Army, taken to tdintfng beyond
the range of the enemys guns, the lives OF the one
thousand men would have been saved. Well, per-
haps they would, and more too, unless the enemy
had advanced, which perhaps they might have done'
when all had tainted ga la Pierce" But we pre-

which marked the great Napoleon, though 1t may
be the latest "Yankee notion on military subjects
The only instance in which Santa Anna overreach-
ed the American Army, was when he presented
President Folks permit or frank, by which he es-
capped from the country, and perhaps the "military

been suffered to act, he mad been near enough to

Of South Carolina, in the House of Repre-

that his sober second thought will cause
him TO renounce the error of his ways and

has done himself injustice in his late COM

The "Old Defender" spirited campaign pa
per recently started in Baltimore, has the following
article in its last Saturdays issue:
GENERAL PIERCE'S CALAMITY.
Mr.. EprroR Having heard it reported in Bal
tiu1ore that personal indignity OF the grossest
character was inflicted upon Gen. Franklin Pierce,
over "game of cards." in the city of Mexico, af-
ter its capture by troops, which insult was new
er resented write this to enquire whether you
have any information upon The subject, and if so,
ask the favor of you to explain the nature OF the
indgnity, and the authority from which the report
has originated. J. Il. b.
Baltimore, Sept. Sd, 1852.
We have no hesitation in answering the enquiry
of our correspondent. For the last two weeks, the
report to which he alludes, has been current in our
city. We have taken some pains to inform our
selves of its truth, and have not the slightest doubt
of the correctness of the answer, which we now
give to the above query:
urt On the night before Gen. Pierce left the city
Of Mexico, his face was slapped by hrotber Off
cer at game of cards, played in place of public
resort-which insult was not resented by him.
The authority for this statement, is Captain OF
the United States Army, of the highest personal
character who served with distinction in the.bat-
| tie near the city of Mexco-who up to this time,
has ever been n decided Democrat-and whose
brother and father hold distinguished positions
in the Democratic party"
The Captain alluded to, is resident OF this city,
but will not vote for Franklin Pierce.
If any Democratic Journal will deny the truth oil
the above statement proof can be furnished to re-
move the doubts of the Eost ihcredulous.
If any friend of Gen. Pierce thinks this charge
partakes of personal nature, and is therefore not
properlyin the canvass, will ask him which par
ty commenced personalities in the campaign, by
publishing anew garfield statement of the private
quarrel between Gems. Jackson and Scott?
