which. YOU Choose?

/ This question is very soon to be practically an
swered, by the people Of theslnlted states. They
are yery soon to decide upon whom shall fall the
mower ri exercising the Government of this nation
for tbe coming four years. They soon to select
the measures and dictate the policy that the coun-
ny must pursue and bywhicfl it will either rise
or fail. The question becomes, then, one of inn
mehse importance. The present we'll being of
twenty-iiv millions of human beings, and the flu
ture destiny of other millions yet unborn, may
hang upon it. 1t becomes every one to whom the
question is asked, to give it a serious, calm and
thoughtful consideration. ,.r-sa-=-sy,szss=-s.sss
: The arrangements of party nominations and the
existing customs of our country have narrowed
down this choice TO two lnen-Winfeld Scott and
Franklin Pierce. One of these two men will be
chosen President of the United States; Whoever,
therefore, casts avote for any third candidate, filings
away that vote, and shows an utter indiierenceto
the actual prosperity and well beg oil ms country.
Were there any hope, the slightest, oil elecng
any other candidate, the duty would be dliieteet
must be made between two--must we say, SO far as
the real, practical results are concerned-duty re-
quires decision u = s5,is,. ~
Here then we have two great candidates of the
parties presented to us. Something beyond The
mere support of our party or the grauhcation OF
our selfish or partizan feelings should guide us IN
this decision. In order, then TO night, correct
4dispassonatc judgment on this subject let us IN
lQuire s.+ +.I,,s-..T e. El,. -,
Which of The t,co candidates has displayed the
greatest abilities In answering this question we
fought to reflect upon the importance OF me uast 10
1be committed 10 the two men. a man OF Ordinary
abilities, ofinferior intellectual powers, OF OF mn
ited capabilities of judging, is not the man for such
Ian exalted and responsible post. Let us look
then at the two men in contrast. In whatever SIT
,ration Winfield Scott has been placed, he has eX-
ibited precisely the abilities necessary ior The eS
irencies of that situation He has been in the most
dangerous and difficult positions and has always
done precisely the thing necessary to produce sue
cess. Whether it has been on the battle field, IN
ihe acquisitions of conquest, or in the defence oil
our soil, in the management of intricate and per-
picking negotiations, IN the preservation OF peace,
General Scott has been uniformly successful. his
talents and abilities have thus beeu placed beyond
dispute. Can the same Things DO said oil Franklin
lPierce?, The has ever accomplished anything for
the good of the nation, manifested his aoliiles
BY the results of his actions his adherens wiii DC
able to show it. Has lie MADE MS MARK ASY-
WHERE! g"
risnee? Experience is of the greatest Importance
in the fnanaren,n mt of men. 1t gives us the knoWl-
edge of human nature, without which the most
transcendent genius but strikes III the DARK. Win
field Scott has the effect on his mind, which the
experience OF forty years III the various uu
ties which his country has called upon him to per
form has given him, to assist him in the manage
anent Of our national affairs. Where is Franklin
Pierces experience of all that the country requires
and the condition OF the world demandsf
! Which of tho candidates has been placed IN the
most truinr situations2 Here is another question
to assist in gaining the doubtful. Look at The dill
fcult situations in which Scott has been placed,
hnd view the prudence, moderation, and discretion
he has exhibited amid their difficulties and the
skill and energy with which he has surinounted
Them. Witness him in restraining the exaspera-
lions of our citizens on the Canadian frontier in
pooling the passions OF the Maine Legislature, Ill
breventing, by his moderation and forbearancc, the
utbreak of the Charleston nulliiers. Bat deci-
edly the most difficult situation in which Scott
las ever placed was in entering the Mexican ma
