whom our legislature ordered the presentation

OF Chapnltcpec; and in consideration Of tina,

of unfolding the first American flag upon the

or officer and soldier in that army, Of their hard
earned laurcls-and place them on the brow
Of Gen. Scott. simply because no was tho com

officers who fought under him and under Gen
Tay'"r-it is All outrage upon the regular army
and an ou!rageupon the volunteers. And Gen
Scott should scorn to appropriate the honors
duo to Others, which the plunderers of the pub,
lie treasury are hcsping upon him, and upon
which they seem to rely solely for success in
this campaign. But it will most assuredly break
him down. 1t is utterly impossible that he can

~ General Pierce.
In my estimation, General Pierce is not a
man qualified for a great general. In fact, he
has never desired military reputation or mil
wholly of other and higher tastes. He shrinks
from osten,ation and display, prefering that
quiet life whose paths are not tracked with
blood, whose memories are not disquieted with
the phantoms of battle fields. He was called
from retirement by the demand upon the coun.
try for citizen soldiers. He took up the sword
not from choice or profession, but from the
higher demand Of duty. While in the military
service he fulfilled every duty in the camp on
the march, and on the battle field, with fideli.
ty and constancy His modest bearing won
him the universal esteem Of the army. and his
conduct in battle that title detraction cannot
alter nor thieves steal away-'the gallant
Pierce" This was the christening of General
Scott. the high priest Of the battles that bap.
tlzed his army in blood and whose seal on gal.
