FLoR1DA.--The telegraph news we give
this morning from this extreme Southern
State, indicates that Florida is following the
brilliant example set to the South by the
Democracy Of North Carolina. Florida has
been whig State for years past; but now it
appears that the people have resolved to cast
off the whig candidate for President and to
rally under the flag Of Pierc and King.

Making Pierce n Hero.

In the absence Of other grounds of praise,
Senator SHIELDS, we perceive, is trying to per
suade his constituents that General PIERCE is
hero A friendly print reports the Senator
to have said that General PIERCE was in the
hottest of the fight at Churubusco." By and
by General PIERCE himself will begin to be-
lieve the story, although his own declaration
up to this time is that he was not in the battle
Of ChurubuscO at all.
Senator SHIELDS made the same statemen,
in the East, and was met by General PIERcE's
admission to the contrary. The Illinois Sena
tor has so generally eschewed the trickery OF
his partisan allies, that we would fam hope he
has been unsupported in this instance by the
Shawneetown editor. 1t is hardly decorous
even to General PIERCE, to thrust laures upon
him for services which, according to his owr
testimony. he never performed.

An Incident.

When General ScoTT, with an army of some ten
thousand men, in fifty five days bad fought his
way from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico-when,
in the midst of a country Of eight hundred thou
sand fighting men, excited to the highest pitch Of
desperation, he had reduced every stronghold along
that guarded road-when, having reduced the cap
ita of the Montezumas, and conquered the coun-
try, he was abandoned by the Polk administration
to his own resources, and the hope that he NIGH
neper lire to return to the United States rife at
Waehngton; at that moment the authorities oil
Mexico offered him the supreme government Of
their country and million of dollars if he would
remain there and take the dictation of their {.
fairs. 1t then that WiNFIRLp SCoTT, burning

pudiated him, and desired his destruction, re.
plicd-"No! never will l turn against my native
land. have fought forty years for the United
States, and, so help me God, will never fight for
any other country!''
History scarcely presents parallel to the noble
subimity OF that scene.
And when, actuated by the mean jealousy OF a
Pillow and Polk the great Scott rds ordered
home under arrest, every regiment whose thuned
ranks survived the terrible conflicts of that nty
high road and participated In the last struggle for
victory, marched around the marquee Of the hon
ored leader, their "bruised arms trailing with tho
habilimen,s of mourning. "They were ordered
not to cheer" says one of them; ''but company
Of sha rpsheoters which had confronted most OF the
guerilla warfare on the road from Vera Cruz,
broke through the command, and saluted their
almost worshpped old general with uproarious
cheers" But all these demonstrations did not
swerve, for an instant, the integrity Of Scott. He
chcerfuily obeyed those whom the laws Of his
country made his superior, and FASTENED home to
onfront the petty malignity Of his narrow minded
enemies. g. ChiHicothe Gazette.

Senator SOule.

We believe that committee appointed by
Congress is now sitting to conduct an inquiry
into certain Mexican claims, with the view Of
bringing to light frauds that are alleged to have
been committed on the Government of the
United States. The frauds-real or suppos
ed-cnnsist in having received money from the
Government without having rendered conside-
ration for it, or without having experienced the
losses which, under the Mexican commission,
entitled the claimants to it.
OF this committee Senator SoULE is the
chairman, and in that capacity he is expected
to take full share of the labor necessary to
detect the imputed frauds. For the perform
ance of this duty he is believed to be in the
receipt of eight dollars per day.
Senator SoULE has duties to discharge in
another capacity. He is engaged in attending
Democratic meetings at the North, and in unison
with JOHN VAN buren,, is making speeches in
favor of General PIERCE.
We desire to be enlightened on three points
connected with these facts:
First. Can Mr.. SoULE reconcile with his
sense of duty to the country his abandonment
of the post to which his Senatorial colleagues
elevated him, no doubt in consequence of his
supposed fitness for the task to be performed!
Second Is Mr.. SoULE entitled to his Sena-
torial pay of eight dollars per diem while he is
travelling through the country on an election
eering tourl
Third. Surprising Mr.. soULE to receive
eight dollars per day for work which he doe.
not perform, is he a proper gentleman to pre-
sent a report on frauds perpetrated upon the
public treasury
We ask for information.

A slight Mistake.

Yesterdays Onion endeavors to regain the
lost affections of our German and Norwegian
citizens by the assertion that OLE BULL, the
celebrated violinist, "wil show his sense OF his
attachmen, to Democracy by roting and working
for PIERCE and KING"
We beg to inform our contemporary ihat
OLE BULL has only just taken the initiatory
step toward naturalization, and therefore that
it cannot avail itself of bis vote for General
PIERCE. Having been so grossly misinformed
in regard to the fact, the Union cannot be con.
sidered very reliable in its announcement Of the
opinions Of the distinguished gentleman Of

The HarmOniOuAo Democracy.

The - Harmonious Democracy.
When the members Of any political party dsa-
gree and quarrel with each other in considerable
numbers, it may be generally regarded as an un-
favorable augury Of success in any eeciioneering
projects which their leaders may contemplate.
In this city open warfare is announced between
the factions which declare respectively in favor of
Messrs. Johnson and Sloan, the Democratic aspi
rants for a Congressional nomination, and on Sa-
turday night last their convention adjourned with
out transacting any business other than rejecting
two opposing delegations from the Tenth Ward
and ordering new election to take place in that
terribly disafected district. The city convent ton
which is to assemble this evening will, pre-
sumo, postpone its intended operations until peace
is restored in the refractory ward, so that expect
ants of nominations for mayor, chief of police,
police justice, Sc, will have to " wait little
longer" for the contamination OF their hopes. We
told that the friends of Mr.. Englebert Lott
strenuously insist that their favorite will defeat
MIR. Seabury Monday night next teiore the
county convention as an applicant for the sheriff
atty nomination, and if such should be the cuse
there will be another stampede in the camp, leav
ing the Wings but little to do to elect their several
candidates by large maioriies, ,ay
T" The New York atlas, WHICH Is generally well
posted up in political matters, and ia an ardent
supporter of Locoocoisn, does not hesitate to pre-
dict that the Wings of the metropolis will triumph
over their opponents at the ensuing election, in
consequence of the bitter feuds which exist in the
Democr ratio ranks, and The foul corruption which
has been resorted 10 in many instances by some of
their most prorrincpt candidates to secure nomi-

Impelled by strong sense Of justice, the recent
Wing State Convention unanimously passed the
following resolution. more emphatic tribute to
the character, talents. and patriotism of the Presi
dent could not be imagined:
IS. That in the firmness, consistency, and fidel-
ity with which the President and his Cabinet hav c
administered the affairs of the Government, in
maintaining the honor Of the nation abroad, aud
in preserving peace and harmony at home, in
promptly arresting every attempt to embroil us in
a foreign war, in repeling in just indignation the
very approach towards interference by a despotc
power with our right Of independent judgment III
matters Of policy and political action, and IN add
ing strength TO The bonds of our glorious Union, we
recognise an administration whose wisdom and
patriotism cannot fail to command the lasting re
spect and admiration of his country"
When MIR. FnLMoRE came to the Presidency at
unexpected hour by the death OF General TAY-
Lon, "the bonds of our glorious Union. were
sorely tried by the reasonable strength of sec
tional factions. The greatest and most expe-
renced statesmen were seriously alarmed. They
believed that it the duty Of all good citizens to
add strength" to those bonds.
We need not recapitulate the steps taken by Mr.
Fillmore to effect this great object Overlooking
all personal considerations, and disregarding the
obloquy showered upon him by those to whom he
had right to look Tor support, he devoted himself
with singleness of aim and heart to the pacifca
ton of the country, and succeeded, as the resolu-
ton truly says, "ln adding strength to the bonds
of our glorious Union''
The dark days have passed away. All men now
acknowledge the patriotism, the wisdom, and the
consistent fidelity Of Willard Fillmore. Even those
who assailed him hasten to declare that his admin
istraton "cannot fail to command the lasting re-
spect and admiration of bis country"
Never did an honest patriot and statesman enjoy
a more signal triumph than is already accorded to
MIR. Fillmore. The cordial and spontaneous ex
preston of his contemporaries, anticipating the
verdict Of history, assigns to him the highest re-
ward a public man can hope for. His success il
unques,onable his motives appreciated and
his character indicated. No man ever came into
the Presidential chair at crisis 30 gloomy and
dscoura ging; and none ever LETT it with more
cheering assurance Of the admiration, gratitude
and esteem of his country. Never solicitous for
place or power, Mr.. Fillmore has proved himself
adequate to the greatest trusts and the moot en-
barrassing duties, comforting dignity upon every
station-even the hghest-by his talents, his in
tegrity, and his true hearted devotion to the pub
lie veal. The American people owe him n'dsb
of gratitude which they will not forget 10 pay: Al

The General Land ONCE at Washington.
We have lately had considerable correspondence
with this office, and, from the promptnsss of its off
GERS. we take it that said office was never better
mana ged-never in better hands. Our friends of
the other party used to claim great credit for
Whitcomb when he the Commissioner, and
boasted Of the immense amount Of business he
brought up. and kept going. The office then had
hardly moiety Of the business it now has, owing
to the mania for entering land and the labor grow
ing out of the land bills of Congress in recent
years. All this immense labor has been thrown
measurably upon this Department, and the able
Commissioner, Mr.. Butterfeld. and the obliging
Acting Commissioner, John Wilson, esq. despatch
all without loss of time, and keep up voluminous
correspondence with all parts of the Union. They
must york to accomplish SO much, and the country
should give them credit for being faithful, prompt,
and energetic officers, who know their duties and
perform them The heads of the offices generally
at Washington efficient business men-a credit
to able and patriotic administra tion-and de-
serve to keep their places, whether or not there
may be change on the 18th of March next.
In these remarks we design special application
to the General Land Office, under Hon. JUSTIN
BUTTERriELD. and the Third Auditors Office,

The appointment of Jerome Fuller, for The Office
OF Chief Justice OF this Territory has been rejected
by the United States Senate. This act OF Demo-
cratic Senate is a striking illustration OF the extent
to which party spirit is carried in country.
No man ever sat upon the bench of any court with
more general acceptabeness. His thorough know.
ledge OF the law, his sound and ready judgment
his stern justice and unyielding impartiality on
the bench, and his bland and urbanc demeanor in
social life, have for him, during his bi lief ca

appointments for Senator Douglass speeches dur
ing the present and succeeding months:
"Buffalo, New York; Cleveland, Ohio; Indian

Monroe, Michigan; Chicago. Illinois; Milwaukee,
Wisconsin; Rockford, on the border Of Illinois
and Wisconsin,; Galena, Illinois; Dubuque, Iowa;

soLri; Bellcvie, Illinois. He will then pass down
the Mississippi, and very probably speak Mt Nash
vile, and at Memphis. Tennessee; and at jackson,
Mississippi; and Helena, Arkansas. He has al
ready spoken in Maryland, and twice in New York
and Pennsy vania."
We are extremely glad to learn thus arehori-
tatively that the Little Giant of Illinois is coming
to see the people where the Big Giant of Missouri
thunders. Giants, both of them, in Democratic,
not to say Pickwickian sense. We only regret
that the Missourian is not Mt home to extend a
dial welcome to his brother Democrat; but the
new organ, under the teachings of the Quincy He
raid, will doubtless do the honors handsomely.
Several things we want to hear about from Mr..
Senator Douglas. We want to have those "ton.
mage dutes'' explained; that direct tax
sells for the improvement Of harbor5, which he pro-
a few weeks ago, to take the place of appropria-
tons by the General Government. We want his
opinion con6dcntally as to whether General Pierce
won't veto all internal improvement bills in fu.
ture-if ever he has chance. Mr. Venable, De-
mocratic Congressman from North Carolina, ga ys
positively that he will. So do the Democratic
press of Virginia, of Georgia; and General Pierce
himself has this year publicly repeated his opinion
that they are Unconstitutional. Mr.. Douglas will
please make a note OF this before he comcs here
We expect to hear him on it, and may Jog his
memory if we don't.
We should like to know what the Judge thinks
of "bar room politicians" too; and whether giants
that talk like "picates are good, we'll behaved
