TThe Mexican war seems to have en-
ured pretty smsrtly to the benefit of most of
our heroes who were engaged in it.. Two Of
them have been elected to the Presidency,
two more Of them are members Of the pre-
sent Cabinet, about twenty Of them are
members Of Congress, end il seems that the
mission to Mexi o and the Offices Of Indian
Commissioner and Commissioner OF the Gen.
eral Land Office and probably q hundred
other Offices are to be filled from their mum.
Der. Gen. Scott appears to be shout the
orly one Of the heroes Of Mexico that is like.
ly TO go unrewardcd. He alone is regarded as
undeserving. Our Loco.oco House of Re-
personalities has even refused him the title
of Lieutenant General, though the Locofoco
Senate voted it to BIN by an overwhelming
majority. sd 7ifr
Last week twenty two officers tina. belong
ed to Pierce's brigade in Mexico called upon
him by invatioD, and, as the accounts say,
had most interesting interview with him.
He expressed himself most happy to see them
and felt confident that as in time past, so in
time to come they would stand by him in
every emergency. We wonder how many
of these twenty-five patriots are otfice-seek-
ers. Probably every man of them. And
does not the President who pIofesses so much
confidence as to their standing by him know
tnat the greater part of them will stand by
him or not accordingly as they shall be gfati-
neo IN their expectations or not! -

The Appointnsents-

The appointment of Mr.. Campbell, of Ala,
(ire-eater.) 70 the Supreme Judseship, to the
exclusion Of Union democrat applicants, Of
superior quasf ications, is indicative Of some-
thing not readily solved BY our : Pocket de-
mocracy." II the superintendent Campbell,
and others of the same stripe, are made with.
a view to conciIiate that feeble, though bois-
ferrous faction, it evinces a want OF firmness
and courage, which renders him unworthy the
cognomen of "Young Hickory" by which
name he has sometimes been mis-calied.
The example of "elder Hickory" in sup
pressing the factions and multiplying spirit,
which showed it's hydra head during his adj
ministration, would do any President honor
to emulate. The catering of Gen. Pierce in
pampering the Free-soilers, by the appoint-
ment of Abolitionists in the North, and ire
eaters in the South, 10 crafty their extreme
and reckless policy, is becoming too glaring
to allow the old line Union democrats to re-
main any longer silent. Some have already
openly expressed strong terms Of condemns
ton against the course pursued, and its con-
tinuance. which is now more than probable,
win not only call down the indignation of the
true friends Of the Union Of his own party,
upon his administration, bus Of every sensible
rejecting man in the nation. If the acqui-
sition Of Cuba is to be . leading object Of
the present administration, (and the Presi-
dents inaugural spreads out platform for
the acquisition Of contiguous territory which
will easily admit il, then tbs alLimportant to
have Fire-eaters and FilIibusters to fiIl Offices
on our southern coast, and for which, there
are now thousands of applicants Of that kid
ney, making their best strides for promotion.
| We would not impute to Gen. Pierce, the
weakness Of thinking that he con conciliate
southern extremists by encouraging them
Virtually endorsing their conduct, by calling
them to fill high stations, nor that their infiu'
ence, if secured, would make him or his adj
ADMINISTRATION stronger, or more popular. Mo-
} tives, equally as obscure, and underlined rs hi:
former political life has been, are now actual
ling him, of which neither the public, nor, his
party, have any right to know about until he
reveals himself to them. ~He was a stranger
