The Pardon OF Drayton and sayres.

The Union, after studying the affair over for
some days, has at length determined to attack the
Wings because Mr.. Fillmore has pardoned the
above-named personages and let them slide |!
The Union announced the fact Of the pardon
last week, without comment, (the pardoned
convicts being then in transitu!) Time and re-
Election have, however, determined the editors in
the course they think it best to pursue: and Mr..
Fillmore, and through him the Wing party, are
to be demolished.
If Mr.. Fillmore were our candidate, we might
feel called upon to excuse or defend him; but as
he is not but is the gentleman the Union in
sisted should be nominated by the Wings in pref
erence to Gen. Scott, because he is sound on The
slavery question, we think the Union should now
be tranquil about the matter.

Hereditary HonOrs.

The Life of Pierce, by Hermitage" says,
page 10:)
Crank Pierce sprung from Democratic fam
lily. He inherited Democracy with his birth, it
flows in his BLOOD" &c., &c.
Gen. Scott had both father and mother, we
have no doubt; but as the fact is not germane,
when we know that he is and ever has been, a
true and genuine republican, we shall not trou.
BILE ourselves about it. We shall be glad to know
that old Gen. Pierce was good old man, and
hope that his memory may long be honored
His virtues, however, are his own. In this coun
try, nothing is hereditary except the govt ant
wooden legs.

upon Wig detection to procure his defeat; and
they trumpet to the world many instances of it.
But this is no new game with them. They prac-
tised it four years ago to the same extent. Para
graphs like the following, from the Richmond
Enquirer, were then - thick as huckleberries in
the Democratic papers. Read it.:
"TREAsoN IN Hon PLAcEs.-How can the

ways been the leaders of Whiggery, refuse to en-
dorse him:

feat him, and hundreds of Wing papers refuse to
