This comes verv appropo just now, as our
excellent whig friends are irving to excite the
foreign population against Pierce, on account of
the feature in the New Hampshire Constitution
excluding Catholics from political offices. Their
indignation we know is not all exhausted upon
Pierce, we therefore expect them to come down
like "thousand of brick" upon Scott, on
account of his desire to close the door upon the
poor oppressed foreigner. We extract from
a letter dated Washington, Nov. 10, 1641.-

Gle of justice in it. The north by the action Of
the Convention have solemnly naffirmed their
pledge, and made anew covenant to execute in
GOOD faith the fugitive slave law. Unless they
be dead to every instinct and sentiment of hon
or, of good faith, and self respect, they must ex
ecute to the very letter of the bond, their pigh-
ted faith to this new covenant. But we have
no great faith in paper pledges. The quirks and
quibbings, the tortuosities and equvocations
for the last few years, teach US that the best
pledge is u sound and uncorrupted public senti-
ment. And to that must we look more than to
the language Of the pledge. If the north really
intend to carry out this measure to the letter
and spirit, no pledge will secure it more certain

mind is sufficient to evadeit
This resolution of the Convention, we do not
consider precludes any one from favoring the

llumbia or any other of thoee measures save the
lFugiave slave law. 1t would be ridiculous,
absurd, and preposterous to say, that any law
passed and executed, and inits nature repea!able
should be unrepealable. That no matter how
injurious OF iniquitous it might be, no matter
how much the interest Of the country. and how
much the interest Of those directly interested
would suffer, that 1t must still be final, even
with regular constituted power to repeal it.
Our Government was made for the protection
not the injury or ruin of the people, and hence
power is given it, to repeal any lawwhch would
not only destroy or deteriorate the legal and
constitutional interest of the whole or any Sec
ton of the country. The nature and spirit OF
our government would forbid any Laycurgus,
placing the irreyocable seal Of finaiy on any re-
pealable laws, and no convention would as
sumo snch high dictatorial power above the in
alienable rights Of the people. as to take from
them rights given by the laws and constitution
of the country.
This resolution then could have been intend
ed alone TO secure the performance Of the only
unexecuted Of lie series of measures, known as
the Compromise. The Fugitive law has been
passed unler the requirements Of the Constitu-
| tion, and the Convention have provided against
its repeal CT modification, unless to secure more
cfectaally, the rendition Of fugitives.

After Gea. 11ilas concluded, Judge Wilkinson
asked leave to reply, which was courteousIy
granted, and ia speech Of about an hour long,
h. showed that Sco.: was unsafe on the slavery
question, that he was not worthy the support OF
Southern vhi5s--and gave Z hasty sketch Of

THE SCOTT GAME.

The New York Tribune, leading Wing paper.
holds the following language in relation to General
Scott and the proposed National Wing Convention {:
ave do not believe there need be any Wing Ma
tional Convention held believe any one which
may be held will be productive of mischief alone
All the States which likely to go Wing at all
including Kentucky and Tennessee-will nominate
Winfield Scott by State conventions, il necessary,
and choose electors vote for him. And no matter
how the delegates to Wing National Convention
may be chosen, it will nominate Gen. Scott for Pres
ident. Such convention may do sundry foolish and
misehievous things-,hings calculated to embarrass
the party in the and reduce Gen. SCOTS
jorty-but no convention be got together OF which
majority will vote to the ship the rocks
when they might just well carry her gasntly into
port with the signal of triumph streaming the mast
head"
1t is here distinctly stated that there is need of
Wing National Conventon-that the thing has
already been determined by the Wings of the free
States, who have the strength-that a Convention,
Gen. Scott having been finally settled the Wing
nominee, would be productive of nothing but ' mis-
chief, and might diminish his vote and the South
era Wings are coolly told that they must take the
medicine just as it has been prepared for them Will
they do it4 Time will show.
