Pillow AND PIERcE.-Plllow comes
to the rescue of Pierce and vouchee for
his military skill and prowess- Judge
Johnston, of Ohio, thus backs up Pillow,
in his speech at Niagara:
Judge Johnston then referred to Mr..
Polk's Cabineta and their disgraceful treat
ment of the hero. He hoped God would
forgive them, and bio. out their iniquities
and memories together. He reviewed
the orders of General ScoTT during the
Mexican War and showed that compar-
ison of them with history of the events
as now known, would make il appear as
though they were written after the events,
to suit the history. Every order had been
carried out, with the exception of one
in the case of Gen. PILLow-of whom
poet-he forgot the poets name-had
thus spoken:
We hang our harps upon the willow,
Whenever we think of Gen. PILLOW.

their faces. "Vy. vat you mean --ishn',
you shick?" exclaimed a German. "Oh
no. my names PIERCE" answered The
boy, leaping to his feet and running for
life. Several of his nurses pursued him
a considerable distance at the top of their
speed, but he was not to be caught.
