Letter OF Senator Pearce.

In the publication Of the speeches and letters
brought out by the recent WING Ratification
Meeting in this city, the letter Of Mr.. Senator
PEARCE, of Maryland, was inadvertently omit
ted. Now that we have an opportunity of sup
plying the omission. the delay in its publica-
ton will call more particular attention to the
letter, which in mass of matter might have
been overlooked. 1t is tribute Of which even
General Scorr might well be proud:
WEDNESDAY, AFTERNOON, June %.
Sir: regret that cannot attend the Wing Rat
fcation Meeting this evening.
Instead OF my presence, please to accept the as
surance of my determination to give cordial and
earnest support to the ticket nominated by the
Wing Convention.
/ have entire confidence in both the nominees;
and having long known Gen. ScoTT's intelligence,
honor, patriotism, and true American sprit, feel
assured that to the unsurpassed GALLAsTRY and
skill, which have given him renown as the first
soldier of the Union, he would, Chief Magis-
trate, add the crowning glory Of the pure.t fdeli
ty to the Constitution and the country.

TESTIMONY OF AN OpPoNENT.-Thcre is not an
ADLER Democratic paper in the country than the
New York Erening Post nor is there warmer ad-
vocate of the election of Pierce and King We take
pleasure in giving that papers estimate of the
Wing nominee for the Presidency:
1.-The name of General Scott is familiar to the
country, not politician or a statesman per.
haps, but a military leader. There is but one
man living who enjoys as envab!e military fame,
if such fame is to be envied; and there is no
American soldier, per haps, save Washington, who
has durable place in the history OF our coun-
try. Before he Was thirty years OF age he had
earned impcrishnble honors on our northeastern
frontier. Through the meridian of his life he was
steadily adding to their number, and within the
last decade has crowned his military fame with a
series Of the most memorable victories recorded in
history. Achiev ements like these are not the re-
suit Of accident, the fruits of common place
minds; neither are they regarded as such by the
American people. There Is no true American who
ia not proud OF them; one who would not, if ne
glossary, become the personal champion of their
authors greatness, wherever and whenever such
championship should be needed"
This ia just and true Some of the Democratic
editors W, ud do well to read it aud ponder upon it
Why should they assail with vile and scurril~ us
abuse the man who has done more than any other
living man for the promotion OF our country's
glory, merely because portion of our country
men have seen fit 10 nominate him for the first
office of the Republic he hos go devotcdly and &C
successfully served Louisville Journal.

WHO is THE Mum CANDlDATE?-This query has
been propounded, and the following briefly stat,
facts form an answer, plain and square: 1t has
been sought to make it appear that General Scott
was mum as to the Compromise test In answer
to this his Castle Garden speech in New York, and
all his open dec arations before and after the pas
sage Of the Compromise acts, stand up in bold de-
NAL and prove to the satisfaction Of all intelligent
readers that he is Compromise man out ami out,
and desires no secrecy to his views on the sub
ject.
On the other hand, General Pierce was written
to before the assembling of the Baltimore Conven-
ton as to his opinions in regard to the Compromise
measures. Similar letters were addressed also to
all the gentlemen of the Democratic party who had
been prominently spoken of in connection with the
nomination for President. All the gentlemen thus
Intercepted returned prompt and favorable an

before his nomination, nor has he done 30 since,
"Itho is the m,.m candidate?" Let plain FACTS
speak for themselves.

Qua FLAa.-We unfurl to the breeze this week
our banner, with the names of SCOTT and GRA-
HAM inscribed thereon as candidates for the Pres
idency and Vice Presidency OF the United States.
In doing SO, il ia useless to say that General
Scott was not our preference for that distinguished
and honorable position. Every one who knows
our sentiments is aware that have from the first
advocated siren uously the claims of our worthy
and patriotic Chief Magistrate, Willard Fillmore.
The convention which has just closed its labors,
in its wisdom and discretion, has deemed il impoi-
tic to nominate him, and we have determined 10
abide in good faith the nomination Of General
Scott. We will support him
LIST. Because we believe him to be more OF states
man than General Pierce; equally sound on ques-
tions of vital interest to the South, with moro ex-
perience and capacity for the station.
Cd. Because he has planted himself upon plat
form manufactured by the hands of southern
men--a platform guaranteeing every thing claim
ed by the Southland platform of such sound
timbers, and constructed in such an elegant style
of workmanship, as to be ample and capacious
enough for the North, South, East, and West, as
common brotherhood.
Sd. We will support him because he is n
man of unquestonable ability, unblemished
character, unflinching patriotism, Of high and
noble impusos-and man who, when convinced
that he is right, Coca ahead.
Lastly. We will support him because we are
convinced that the reorganization of old parties at
the South is inevitable He is a Wing, has always
been one, and expects always to be one; therefore
we would prefer defeat with our friends than tri-
umph with our enemies.
These some of the reasons why we will sup
port the statesman, hero. and patriot-fully conf
dent that if the Wings will unite as they should
in the sustainancc Of such man and such prnci-
plcs one of the most brilliant victories will be ours
that was ever recorded in the history of our coun-
try. Recollcct the language of him who said,

A Paris spondent Of the Courier des

After describing briefly the existing state OF

President BY CuIning maneuver, proposed tho
restoration OF universal suffrage they could by an
honorable return to the principles OF Democracy,
