GEN. ScoTT's PoLrTIcAL REcoRD.-The whig
organs seem to give this up as bad job. Well
thew may. Gen Scott stands on record over his
own signature as bank man, a bankrupt-bill
man, land distribution man, and native
American of the fiercest stamp. He is on rec
ord, too as in favor OF the " determination" of
slavery and, in so far, was naturally chosen as
the candidate of the higher law" He is on
record as opposed to the annexation of territory
at the South, and in favor of the extension of
the extension of the presidential term, and in
favor of the abrogation of the veto. He is also
on record as having gone out of his way to in
suit @e Catholic church, by having represented
the election of the Pope by the college of cardi-
nails as an interested bargain" to place the
"nost superanuated' In the Papal chair.
Not one item of all this record does the Re-
public dare either to deny or to defend. Not
one item of this record has General Scott recan-
ted or repudated, save in respect to his native
Americanism None Of his own leading organs
brands him directly with having on that point
"repudiated his convictions" in order to remove
out of his way stumbling block which stood
between him and his nomination. 1t is proper
to add, that in thus repudiating' his native
American convictions" General Scott has ta-
ken care to introduce an odious and unjust fa-
voritism in favor of those few foreigners who
may place themselves under his command in the
regular army.
Does this record, either with or without the ad
mitted reputation of convictions. present Gen.
Scott in the proper attitude of candidate fol
the presidency of the American people p I'm
ion.

THE DEPTH OF MEANEss.-The deepest depth
to which political meanness has ever descended
in this country is now being exhibited by those
scurrilous whig prints which are basely misrep-
resenting General Pierce's conduct in Mexico

Churubusco, the glory of which these menda-
cious political hacks which monopolize for Gen.
General Scott and General Pillow place g the
gallant Pierce in the thickets of the fght-at

sank exhausted under injuries received on those
very fields, whilst under the blaze of the enemys

his men were reaping the last harvest of glory

fail to excite disgust in the hearts of gener-

A Little Thought.

BY l.. VIRGINIA SMITH.
Where the sweet waters met
Gracefully sweeping,
Lady the white violet,
Peacefully sleeping,
And a star-shaaow fell,
Sllvery cleaning,
Soft On the snowy bell
Blissful!y dreaming.
Up from the oceans lone,
Storm haunted dwelling,
Came a deep thunder tone
Mournfully swelling,
Through the air solitude
Cloud banners waving,
Marshaled the tempests rude
Angrily raving.
Morn DER the pillows shone,
Playfully rowing,
Where has the flow'ret flown
Lovely and loving?
Far down the chilly tide
Broken and faded,
Wanders the " fairy's pride"
Lorn and degraded.
Thus on the stream of years
Youth is a blossom.
Hope, like the star, appears
Bright on its bosom.
Age IS the coming cloud
Faltering never,
Sorrow the tempest crowd
Blighting it ever!

The Augusta Chronicle and Sent mel, having
lately ssbollted' from the National whig party,
has already begun to show the effect of the bad
company itnow keeps. L has just ''hooked'
one of Miss Virginia Smiths poems-s'THe beau
tiful South.," without giving the proper credit
to this paper-1femphis Eagle.
1t is quite unfortunate for our Memphis con-
temporary, that in charging us with an editorial
impropriety, he should have been led into the
utterance of two untruths. We have never
'sbolted" from the National Wing Party. We
have only refused to support nominee of that
party whom we regard as incompetent and
totally unfit for the office. We did not 'hook'
Miss Smiths Poem. We found it in an ex-
change without credit and copied it, it appeared
as selected matter.
It may not be out of place to remind ouI
contemporary, that they who are prone to suspect
others of improprieties are most apt to be guilty
themselves. He may probably profit by the
knowledge of this truth
There is an old fable, something about glass
houses aud stones, which might, if learned
teach the Eagle the improperly of an associate
and companion Of Seward, Johnson, Greeley and
Co, making any insinuations about the company
of others. We presume the Eagle does not
subscribe to the adage, s'a man is known by his
companions. ."-C Chronicle and Sentinel.
