Disrespect to the President.

The following extract from article in the
National Intelligencer, commenting the pro-
ceedings Of Congress at the late session, shows
how isrespectiully the President of the United
States has been treated by Democratic House of
Representatives:
On looking over the Calender of Business of
the House of Representatives for the 30th of Au-
gust, the day preceding the adjournment, we find
first among the Orders of the Day-irst upon the
docket, it is by the Constitution made the first
duty of Congress to act upon it-after lying on
the table from the day of its reception, during
period of nine full MONTHS get untouched, the An
nual Message of the President of the United States
to Congress. A fact like this, demonstrative of
the utter neglect of imperative duty by the House
of Representatives-of It's utter incapacty, as at
present constituted for the discharge of its highest
duties-it would be idle to enlarge upon. The
fact itself stands upon record inleloe reproach
upon the House, which no apology can extcnuate,
much less excuse. 1t is not merely lis,
to a coordinate branch of the Government but IA
deliberate and wiltnI disrespect to the authority
between which and itself the Constitution has es-
tablished relations that can be dissolved )nly in
the mode which that instrument itself points cut
by amending the Constitution or by revolution.
Deliberate this omission of duty by the House has
been, for it has been of nine months 1uratiOn.-
That it has been uiyfui, no one can !eny VIII, will
admit, every one must that no such !isrespect
has ever before been shown, even by Democrat
ic House of Representatives. to the official act of
the President of the Republic.

The Old issues.

Whenever Whg attempts to prove that there
are no longer any issues between the two parties.
remember that he is paying the highest compli-
ment to Dem mDcratic measures and men. and at
the same time unconsciousy rebuking the policy
of his own party. "a. Uh'On.
The UMon is levout believer in the ignorance
and credulity of the people-or at least that por-
ton of them who compose the rank and file OF the
Democratic party
A month has not yet elapsed since the Democ-
racy. through their Congressional delegations, de-
liberatey aband ,ned two planks OF their own
platform, and adopted, instead, two of the old
issues" of the Wings. The action of the House of
Representatives in reference to the public lands.
and of the House and Senate in reference to river
and har3or improvements amounted to ''the high
est compliment the Democrats couli pay to
Whig measures and men, and at the same time
uncoIscously'' condemned the policy laid down
BY the authors of General PIERcEs nomination.
We are not aware that the Wings have any
ambition to prove that they and their antagonists
are as one upon all great questions. If Wing
can be found with taste that would permit him
to make the attempt adverted to by the Union,
we venture to say that his conscience would re-
strain him from executing task which involves
an open Justification of contemporaneous history.

A CILNcuEK.-The Charlottesville (Va.) Ad-
vocate remarks that since Gen. Pierce denies his
New Boston Speech altogether, the following tes-
timony of his organ-the New Hampshire
Patrot-becomes of the highest importance:
SHe (Gen. P) is known always to have acted
heartily with his party in New Hampshire, and
we have proved incontestibly that throughout the
prolonged agitation of late years they have uni
tormly been found on the side OF the Freesoiers.
and against the South. Gen. Pierce did but echo
the sentiments of his party in his own State when
he iaumched his bitter denunciations against starery
and the fugitive slaue law"
This extract, says the Advocate. probably has
reference to the speech at New Boston; but that IS
a matter Of small consequence. Its importance
consists in the admission that Gen. Pierce has
"Iaunched his bitter denunciations against slavery
and the Fugitive Slave law,"-the place where,
or the occasion on which, he did so, is entirely
ilnmaterial. 1sa a .fEs

An Incident.

When General SCoTT. with an army Of some
ten thousand men, in fifty days had fought
his way from Vera Cruz to the city Of Mexico
when, in the midst of q country of eight hundred
thousand fighting men, eXctel to the highest pitch
of desperation, he had REDUCED every strong hold
along that uarded road-When, having reduced
the capital of the Montezumas, and conquered the
country, he was abandoned by the Polk admins
tration to his own resources and the hope thai lie
might neuer lire to return TO the Unitcd Staies was
rife at Washington; at that moment the authori-
ties of Mexico offered him the supreme govern
ment of their country and million of dolars if
he would remain there and take the dictatiJn of
their affairs. 1t was then that WINFIELD ScorT,
burning with the love OF that country whose rulers
had repudiated him, and desired his destruction,
rerled-"No! never will turn against my hative
land. l 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
sublimity of that scene
And when, actuaied by the mean jealousy Of a
Pillow and a Polk, the great Scott mas ordered
home un4ier arrest, every regiment whose thinned
ranks survived the terrible conflicts of that inty
highroad and participated in the last struggle for
victory marched around the marquee OF their hon.

habiliments of mourning. They were ordered

The Little Giant i'm St. Louis.

appointments for Senator Douglas speeches dur
ing the present and succeeding months:
Buffalo, New York; Cleveland. Ohio: In liam
apos, Indiana; Louisville Kentucky; Lexington
Kentucky; Cincinnati, Ohio; Columbus, Ohio;
Monroe, Michigan; Chicago, Illinois; Milwaukee,
Wisconsin: Rockford on the border of Illinois and
Wisconsin; Galena, Illinois; Dubuque, Iowa; BuI-
lington, Iowa. Quincy, illinois, St Louis, Missouri
3elleville, Illinois. He will then pass down the
Mississippi, and very probably speak at Nashville.
and at Memphis, Tennessee; and at Jackson, Mis-
sssi?pi: and Helena, Arkansas. He has already
spoken in Maryland, and twice in New York
and Pennsylvanian
We are extremely glad TO learn thus authorita-
lively that the Little Giant of Illinois is coming to
see the people where the Big Giant of Missouri
thunders Giants, both of them, in a Democratic,
not to say Pickwickian sense. We only regret
that the Missourian is not at home to extend a
cordial welcome to his brother Democrat; but the
new organ unler the teachings of the Quincy
Herald, will doubtless GO the honors handsomely.
Several things we want to hear abou, from Mr..
Senator Dougla We want to have those ton
mage duties explained; that direct tax vessels
Tor the improvement of harbors, which he pro-
posed and Senator Atchison renewed in the Senate
few weeks ago; to take the place of apprcpria-
tons by the General Government. We want his
opinion confidentially as to whether General

Democratic Congressman from North Carolina,
says positively that he will. So DO the Democrat
ic press Of Virginia, of Georgia; and Gen. Pierce
himself has this year publicly repeated his opinion
that they unconstitutional. Mr.. Douglas will
please make note of this before he comes here.
We expect to hear him 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 pirates" are good, we'll behaved
giants. We want to learn great deal from the
Judge, and we hope the honorable Senator won't
