Itiswith pain that the press making most vile

TEN. Pierce has been charged with cowardice with
drunkenness, aud with religious intolerance Scott
has been charged with cowardice religious intolerance
and having defrauded the soldier of his poor
pttance. And one half that said of either of these
men true, they would disgrace the fish markets of
any city Yet these men before the American
people rival candidates for the first office in the
world and seems that large fraction of the press is
satisfied that they untitled for that exalted station
until they shall have been proved to be too mean too
shamelessy corrupt, to dignity procurers posi-
ton in brothel To satisfy themselves and their
readers of this important fact the ridiculous sto-
res trumped up and scattered broadcast through
the land.
Scott, who has cohfessedy done good fighting for
his country is coward, forsooth because he refused
to fight duel with General Jackson Piereeis base
coward because he fell fantng from his horse from
exhaustion and pain, produced by crushed knee
Scott is ntoerant because he prohibited by General
Orders, the American soldiers in Mexico to interfere

ntolerant because he endeavored to repeal clause
in the constitution of n Hampshire, of religious dis
ability. Ofsuch stuff do these men stand charged and
to with what fury the combattants and PITCH
stranger might naturally suppose that the safety of
the Universe depended upon the.issuc. This is what
gives to elective system its peculiar SALT and men
have to believe that this vtuperative course is
necessary ingredient, without which, the contests are
vapid To men who are seeking place to the tricky
demagogue, this course may recommend ITSELF because

The paper named above seems to be pleased with
some remarks of ours made the 10Th of June last
Those remarks were deliberately made, and they ex-
press our opinions we defend them from the re-
cord, and challenge manly controversy in regard
to them The Gazette however, avails itself of trick
common with the press, but not the less dishonest
because common, to convey an impression wholly I'M
warranted by the tenor of remarks when present
ed fully and honestly to the public The species of
warfare adopted by the Gazette is one in which do
not indulge it is low for fair criticism, and is too
much mingled with deception for any purpose except
to subseve the views of those who intend deliberately
to deceive the people. That is not vocation, and
we turn from it with repugnance. But the Gazette,
may not have intended to msrepresent and We are
charitable enough to believe that it will justify ITSELF
and set its readers right in regard to the position of
this paper. Below copy the Gazettes article;
Testimony from their own Ranks.
The Mississippi Pierce organs are very fond of
denouncing Gen. Scott as unsound on the slavery
question. They were very ready however, before
the meeting of the Convention, to take either
Douglass or Buchanan as their standard bearer

ator Brooke and Col. A. X. McClung. But why is
Scott SO generally repudiated by Southern wings =!
He may be unexceptonable in regard to his opn-
ions of the abstract justice of slavery, Pierce. He
may be as great friend of the Compromise acts and
he is surely better wing. If then, Southern wings
repudiate Scott, there must be for it. Just
admit for the sake of argument that he is sound
Pierce on the points named, the means by which
he secured his nomination. should deter Southern
man from supporting him. He put before the
convention by who operate openly with Seward,
Greeley, Johnson and Raymond his claims
ged by all the who denounced Fillmore, and Web
sters 18th of March speech, the speech it said last
summer saued the Union, because it secured the pass
age OF the Compromise bills. The very men who an
nounced their determination to agitate for the repeal
of the fugitive slave law were his devoted unshrinking
friends in the conventions they were and are so STILL
and they tell Southern wings that they scorn and spit
upon the National platform Such were the men who
were for Scott in the Convention such were the in
huences that crushed Fillmore, the almost unanimous
choice of the South the open and declared friend of
the Compromise acts /; the man who had staked his
popularity on those acts and who for enforcing the
fugitive slave law, made martyr for his devotion
to the constitutional requirements of the South. For
this, and this alone he sacrificed, and we challenge
the Gazette to show in opposition to our
conclusions on this head. He was given up to be dis
graced by the abolition party, to be bueted and
gled by the partisans of Seward and Greeley. Look
at the convention and its baotings Fillmore got i
Northern votes and Scott but II Southern votes Is
he the choice of National wings The votes say No
