The Southern Rights Party.

The Baltimore Sun, generally affecting neu
trality i'll politics, gives the following version Of the
result of the interrogatioils 10 GEMS. Scott and
Pierce by the Alabama Southern Rights Party.
1t will be seen that Gen. Scott answers prompt
ly, and refers his catechsers to the disnctaniun-
citation heretofore made Of his principles on all
the questions propoundcd to him, while Pierce is
mum.
TIE following is the letter of Gen. Scott to The
Southern Rights Party of Alabama, who pro-
pounded to him, as well as 10 General Pierce, a
series of ntcuogatores in relation TO slavery, ad-
mission Of new States, and the right Of a State TO
sece!e from the Union:
lPt WASHINGTON, July 20, 1852. .
Gentlclnen: have the Eonor 10 acknowledge

sire my answers TO number of political inteErog-
atorcs.

"JoHN w. MAUaY 10 announced as a candidate
for the Mayoraity al the ensuing election in June.
"MANY CITIZENS"
In making the above announcement, il is deemed
proper to say that large number Of citizens of all
parties, from the several wards Of the city, ad-
dressed to Mr.. Maury few days ago commune
cation expressing their wish TO present his name
to his fellow-citizens candidate for the Mayor.
atty at The ensuing election, independent Of all
questions connected with the politics Of the day,
and solely in consideration of his long and useful
services in the Councils and of his fitness for the
place.
To this communication the following reply has
been received:
81 have received your communication. What
ever might have been my personal wishes on the
subject, 1t would have been difficult for TO resist
the friendly coll you have made upon me; but,
agreeing as do entirely with all that you have
said as to the inexpediency of bringing national
politics into our city elections, most cheerfuly
place my name at your disposal as candidate for
the Mayoralty at the ensuing election
APP 26-df JOHN w. MAURY"
As the friends Of other candidates for this Office
are already active in their behalf desire to pre-
sent the name Of the present incumbent, WALrRR
LEsox, esq, for reelection. II is to be expected
that personal preference will to some extent gov
crn the choice Of many; but before the community
generally. honest and discerning in it's decision, is
not the proper question, "What is the public inter-
cst!" 1t must be admitted by every rejecting cti-
zen that sudden and uncalled for change is not
only unjust to the officer, but TO the public inter-
eat. II takes away the personal motive and ambi-
ton which induce the faithful performance Of duty
and loses to the public the benefits of official expert
ence. If the present incumbent has discharged
the duties of the Office with ability md zeal, and
can hereafter bring to 1t the advantage Of practical
experience, ! trust that the people Of Washington
will not use the elective franchise to their own in
