He was ecveral times re-elected to Congress, till 1346, when he was elected to the Senate. In the Senate he deservedly ranks among our most prominent statesmen and powerful debaters, and so rapidly had he Ltr in thé estimation of all partica, tiat in the session commencing December, 1849, he was mado Obairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, a distinction rarely, if ever, conferred upon onc 80 young, among such Senators as Cass, Calhoun, Web- ster, Clay, &c. He entered poe a8 a thorough Btate righta democrat ‘of the strictest school, and has remained firmly attached to that branch of the democratic party, without the slightest faltering or the shadow of turning, and {s now recognised as a leader of the State rights democratic party of the | Union.

THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION OF 1852's, The Election of General Pieree to the Presi- dency, and the Part the New York Herald took in the Canvass, &o., ko, de. [From the New York Herald, June 6, 1852.) THE DEMOCRATIO NOMINATIONS AT LAST—GENBRAL PIERCE, OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. The democratic nominations have taken place at last. The Hon. Franklin Pierce, of New Hampshire, has been fixed upon—the best selection that could be made, under the circumstances. When such respectable statesmen as Cassor Buchanan could not get it, the democracy ought to be heartily glad that the demagogues, Marcy and Douglas, who have caured all the difficulty, have been de- feated. General Pierce is a good man and a young man—a representative of “ Young America,” but a discreet one—a man of modesty and decision of character. He distinguished himself in the Mexi- can war; and in bis political principles he is sound to the back-bone—a democrat of the old school, free from all the irms of the day. He is about the bert man that could be chosen to run against Scott, and, in all probability, if all the sections of the party unite warmly together (which is now highly picbelte will beat General Scott most terribly be- ore the tell gent democracy of this free country, The nomination for President is a very remarkable one, and the obvious result of circumstances of a | peculiar chayacter. In January last we pointed out the resuJt, from these circumstances, and almost predicted the actual nomination which has now taken place, in the following words:— po the New York Herald, Jan. 15.] * * * * . . ‘There are the most important movements in reference to the next Presidency that we have yet seen throug tout the country. They indicate a very dexterous system of policy—all of them similar to that which has been adopted in thi State. Everywhere the opposition to | General (age, who seems to bave been the leading éan- dida ¢, has brought forward a separate gnudidate in every State—-Marcy in New York, Buchanan in Pennsylvania, Butler in Kentucky, Pleroe tn New Hampshire, Stockton in New Jerres, Allen in Ohie, Donzlas in Ilinols, Lane in Indiuua, Houstom in Tevas, Walker in Wisconsin, and others in other States. This is a species of guerills war fare on the former position of General Cass, which ma; succeed, in the Baltimore Convention, in demolishing his pror pect, in epite of all the old strength which he may have bad, or the new popular position he has taken in re- lation to our foreign or domestic policy. At present Bu- chenan is his most formidable opponent; but, by-and by, Butler will come out a very strong man. and if tb friends of all the then strong candidates should quarrel in the Baltimere Convention, we should not be at all sur- prited to see General Pierce of New Hampshire turn up as 4 very formidatle man, on whom all the factions might teatle to unite, In such case, instead of the contest being between Cassand Buchanan, who will be almost de- molirLed before ey get into the Paltimore Convention, it will be betweem Fierce of New Hampshire and Butler Kentucky, beth popular men—both Mexican generali— both herces—both tolerable statesmen, with +he advan: tage on the side of Pieroe, who has more brains, but shorter legs, than Butler has. Thus stand the democracy. The nominations were received yesterday after noon, in this city, with general exultation by all the respectable and most influential members of the democracy. They are now confident of carrying the State of New York, in November, against any whig candidate—Scott, Webster, or Fillmore. General Pierce has quite enough of military reputa- tion to take off the wiry edge of General Scott, who has nothing elee to trust to. Pierce is, besides, a good ttatesman—a sound politiclan—a sensible man—a discreet man—and never wrote any “ hasty-plate-of- soup” letters in his life. He did not even answer the letter of Captain Scott, of Virginia, inquiring how he would use the veto power (the only coon | who did not come down). Yet General Pierce is perfectly sound on the Com; » and on | every other question of great national interest. He went through the great campaign of Mexico with | | bravery, courage and patriotism. At the close he rested quictly on his deeds, and made no attempts to get up quarrels with his brother officers, or to | claim exclusive credit over others for performing his | duty to his country. The whig journals and politi- clane will very likely uuderrate General Pierce, and talk lightly of his talents, his merits, and his Popularsyy. But they had better lay aside all super- ciliousnees, and prepare for one of the greatest poli- | tical contests that ever took place in the United States. They will require all the fe larity and in- fluence of Scott, Webster, and ore, to save themeclves from @ terrible defeat, which the demo- | ney if united, have now in their power to give em. ‘Lhe nomination of Pierce was first brought for- ward in the Convention by the Virginia delegation, | aided by Tennessee; but it has long been maturing | by the best democratic statesmen of the North and | South. He is a new man—untrammelled by any ties or promiser—and will be acceptable to all the tactions and sections, but especially to the respec- table, educated, and better portion of the demo cracy. In Pierce's nomination all the rowdy in- fiuences at Baltimore have been overthrown, and the discreditable intrigues of Douglas and Marcy | finally prostrated. General Pierce is seund on the public questions of the day—Fugitive Slave law | and all. He is in favor of the natural progress of this great republic, in the proper direction, and by roper means. In short, all the worthy and popu- r qualities of General Pierce indicate his admir- able chances of success—but nothing more so than | the bitter alarm and spite of the Seward anti-slavery section of the whig party. | « « « | [From the New York Herald, June 7, 1852.) | TRE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION—THE NRW MAN AND NEW MOUVEMENT. The enthusiastic nomination of Franklin Pierce, of New Hampshire, hy the Democratic Convention at Baltimore, has fallen on this metropolis, and on the country, and on all parties, like a clap of thunder inaclearrky. Few of any party were prepared for such a consummation of the proceedings of the Con- vention. The whigs exultingly looked for division and a final explosion; and the democrats, with fear and trembling, expected the nomination of a candi- | date with little available popularity. The result bas paralyzed with astonishment the whigs, and | created a general burst of fervid enthusiasm amon; all rections of the democracy in this city, an apparently throughout the whole country, as far as known, within the range of telegraphic commn- nication. The Jast day's scenes in the Convention | fully justify the rejoicmgs of the democrats and the terror and alarm of the whigs. That Conven- tion, after working like soldiers in a contested campaign, four days and four nights, came to | no result; till at length, through the instinct of ood fortune and sound sagacity, the Virginia de- my i stumbled upon the man, of all others, more calculated to unite the strength of their party at the polls, and satisfy all sections of the country, than any of the previous nominees. The perusal of the telegraphic report, describi the movements of esch Southern State, wheeling in with enthu- tiaem, omid cheers and bonquets, in support of the nomination of Franklin Pierce, is ‘calculated to create a corresponding sentiment in the mind of the reader, and has already almost brought tears into the eyes of many of the old democrats, who had well nigh despaired of ever seeing another demo- cratic candidate in the field capable of being elected. Jt was an interesting scene—like some scenes in the days of Jefferson and Jackson. The report of the last day's proceedings is one of those features which is more calculuted to produce an impression on the | country than anything else of the kind which has | been ecen or heard of for «long time. | The democratic candidate, Franklin Pierce, being now placed in the field by the Convention, as a man on whom they intend to unite, the whig candidate will, undoubtedly, according to all indications, be Gen, Scott, for 10 other in the whig ranks can anite | £0 mntch strength or procure such @ nomination ag he can, in their approaching convention. General Scott may, therefore, be considered as the undoubted whig candidate, to be run in opposition to General Pierce, of New Hampshire; and hee two men ma: hg " NY jarded as rar ee field at t same time, for a rize of the P: C3 this migbly republic. in this conte haghtion from this day forward, and ending with the | general election onthe second of November, the | great questions before the people will be, what are the chances of each of these candidates?’ what are gel reas n by them? and what may be the resulta, the future history and destiny of peoaty, of the election of either the one or the | er With the exeeption | | each side—one democrat and the other whig—both | culty—that having adopted the whig national plat- ,, . en the Hi a who have other and desperate to out, such demagogues as Cla: and , and their arociatee—al] the intelligence, and patriotism, and good rense, of both ies in this country—whig and democrat—are alike determined that the comin; contest ehall not be one between bull-dog and bull- dog—between @ higher-priced order of Tom Hyer ard Yankce Sullivan—but that it shall be a contest for elevating to the White House, and to the place once cooaee by Washington and Jackson, men who have intelligence and sense, and courage and pa- trictirm, aud common honesty and discretion, and all those qualities requisite for a high and digaitied administration of the public affairs in this country. The contest, therefore, now commencing, from oy forward, between General Pierce of New Hamp- shire, and General Scott of New Jersey, is a contest between the great principles promulgated by the two | parties who make those di tingulsbed men their representatives; itis a contest between those prin- ciples which, on one band, will lead this country se- cure and undisturbed to the highest pinnacle that ever nation attained, or will, on the other hand, alienate the two sections of the country from each other, dissolve the constituent parts of this glorious republic, and produce hereafter a series of convulsion fullowing convulsion, caused by the anti-slavery agi- tation of such men as Seward and his compeers. The lutform of principles and measures put forward by the Convention at Baltimore, is the platform of General Pierce, and that on which they will support and intend to elect him. The platform an paneules of General Scott and of party, re thore which he has himself Pecmsalaeied in advance, through his four famous political letters, which we have recently placed before the world. They are principles which are directly in the teeth of, an d to, those of the democratic are pany. General ott avows himself in favor of a nited States Bank—a measure which has been decided against by the ple of this country, as fraught wsth danger and injury to their independence, and to the purity of the government and its inatita- tions. Gen. Scett has also avowed himeelf in favor of modifying or abolishing the naturalization laws; and, therefore, he means to be in favor ofrentong the old alien laws of John Adams, which the firt great breach between the two great classes of the Femieton of this country, and originated those differences which have agitated its councils ever since. Gen. Scott has avowed himsedf inst any exercise of the veto power—thus declaring hon he ie be ents) io the Tae of a clique at may choose to regulate and manage Congress, withoot reference to eneral peae the provi- sions of the constitution, or the dut imposed on him by his office. Gen. Scott, among other princi- lee-—which we have not time to enumerate to-day. has, above all, declared his unalterable hostility to the continuance of slavery at the South; and al- though he points out no practicable mode, within the] mits of the constitution, for abolishing the in- stitutions of the South, he yet looks forward to a solution of the question at some future day, and leaves the inference that that solution—for it can be nothing elee—will be either insurrection or civil war, produced by the alienation of the North and | Scuth on these delicate relations. The principles | and measures, therefore, of the whig party, as pro- mulgated by the leading and only candidate they have any chance of electing, are such principles and such measures as, if carried into practice by his success, will alienate still more the South from : the North—will produce bickerings of the most dan- gerous character, and ultimately lead to insurrection, civil wer, and entire and final separation. On the contrary, what are the pends associated with the name of Gen. Pierce, in contest now ap) poaching! They have been enunciated by the Baltimore Convention, and they are of exactly an opposite character, and antagonistic to those which have been put forward by Gen. Scott, under his own signature, and which, no doubt, will be adopted by the Convention that will nominate him next week—opporition to any construction of finan- cial power in the government, by the creation of a national bank—opposition to any change in the naturalization laws, or any hostility tothe increase of the population of this country by | emigration from Europe or eleewhere—a due regard for the recent compromise acta, and particularly | for the Fugitive Slave law. All these measures, ith many others which have been already publish- ed in ovr columns, are identified with the success and name of General Pierce. They are principles and measures which will now—as they have here- tofore done—bind the States in closer union, and lead this country into more harmony, more con- centrated action, more power, and more Glo asa republican nation, than wasever yet seen past times. ; e * * * * [From the New York Herald, June 22, 1852.) GENERAL SCOTT'S KOMINATION AT LAST—TRE GREAT CONTEST BEGUN. Yesterday, at one o'clock, the Whig National Convention at Baltimore, after the fifty- reacked ao majority, declared Scott to be the whig candidate of the coming election. This consumma- tion we predicted and believed trom the moment he was started by Mr. Clayton of Delaware, adopted by Governor Johnston, of Pennsylvania, and backed up by all the energy of W. H. Bewurd aud his associates, of New York. It is a trh of Seward over Fill- more and Webster, with all the favor, intiuence, and patronage of the government to back them; but it is not a triumph of which W. H. Seward and the whig abolitionists can boast. The whig party, by a so- lJemn act of their National Convention, and by an immense majority, stand pledged in favor of the Compromise measures, including the Fugitive Slave law, aud against American intervention in the af- faire of The whigs, in fact, occupy the fame ground the democrats assumed in their convertion. The two parties have thus committed themselves to the same principles, and appealed to the same reat interests throughout the country. The con- ert, therefore, between these two candidates and arties will not be so much a contest between con- icting principles as between individuals, and on the ground of personal character—perhaps still more be- tween the influence of cliques in both the parties. It will be an interesting and a clamorous fight. The old dietinguished men of the whig party, trom Webster down, are now thrown back on private life, as unsuitable to the present age, and Seward and the anti-slavery faction stepinto their place, are now in the ascendancy, and, under the shadow of Gen. Scvtt, take the field. The contest for the Presidential election now be- gins to assume some tangible proportions, from which some rational calculations can be made as to the final iasue. There are now candidutes—one on repudiating the auti-rlavery elements of the North, as well as the secession clements of the South. As between the two parties there is probably a balance | of strength, the result will, therefore, be deter- | mined by the eectiens repudiated by both. With regar@ to the Southern rection, who had been s0 clamorous for disruption of the Union, we find that they have fallen into the wake of the Democratic National Convention, and that they regard the nomination of Pierce as satisfactory and reascnable. ‘The repudiation, therefore, by these two Conven- | tions, of the abolition sentiment, has produced the most Panny ec upon the temper of the secession- inte of th ith. Unfortunately, however, there seems not to have | been the same disposition among the sections in the | North, whether they are called the “ liberty | men,” the free soilers, or the anti-slavery clique. | We have Deas! ntetes the calls of national | conventions of different branches of this party—an antitlavery convention at Cleveland on the fourth of | Avwgust, and a iree soil convention on the first of Reptember at Buffalo, We nowlearn that there is tobe a national convention of the liberty men, on the eleventh of Angust, at Pittaburg. ere is to be also a State Convention at Worcester, on the sixth of July, of the same stripe, and which will merge into the National Convention at Cleveland. In fact, | the whole of these conventions are kindred, and they will ultimately unite into one perty. The convention called to meet at Pittsburg is the ema- | nation of the free soilers of both houses of Con- | grees, and may be regarded as conclusive as to the designs of that party. | In illustration of the principles by which this | party are influenced, we give extracts from several of their organs—the Washington Era, the Com- menvealth, of Boston, and Fred Douglass’ paper at Rochester, There journals indicate clearly euough that they intend to take strong ground, aud organ- ize their forces against the nominations of both the Baltimore Conventions. It is well known that the anti-slavery senti- | ment has been continually increasing in the coun- ry, till it has now reached $00,000 votes in the free States. General Harrison was the last President elected by a majority of the popular vote. Every election since has been decided by the minority, and the votes of cliques abstracted from the majority. | In 1844, the greatest number of votes was al stracted from the whigs; In 1848 the greatest | number was abstracted from the democrats, under the Van Buren defection. The question now is, which of the two nominees will lose | the greatest portion of free soil votes in conse- quence of the various elements now in agitation over the free States. It will require some time and attention, during the movements of these factions, for the next few weeks, to determine which of the two parties will bave the advantage in point of organization, integrity, and firm adherence to their latform. As matters now stand, Pierce appears have the best chance, as he has fortanately attracted and concentrated, in his own person, all the centrifugal elements which flew off from the deme- oratic party in the North in 1848 ; and the South | will ttand y him as immovable asa rock. Generul Scott, on the other hand, labors under this diffi. form, he cut himeelf from considerable portion of the abolition fansciee€ of the | North, while his avowal of those ples comes somewhat too late to obtain for him ral of the entire whigs of the Booth. are ey, ‘thies of the New York Nerald of June 24, 1888 ) THE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATIONS—THBIR RSOSP- bar beeay” iteoer’ 4 THM ae: A e of the Seward whigs have thrown themselves into ecstacies about the nominee, under | the hope that he will make a good ran, and that he | stands a good chance of being the winner. This tion of the whig party is also distinguished for its | sms, odd notions, znd marked hostility to all milita: | ry glory and military reputation. The singular and | palpable contradiction, therefore, of receiving the | no ion of a military man with such delight, is |* not more characteristic of these vagaries than the violent hostility they have shown to the platform, which was agreed upon by the Whig National Con- vention with a greater majority than the nomina- tion iteelf. The anti-slavery faction embraces the | candidate, with all his fuss and feathers, but they abominate the platform, and treat it with no sort of | respect. On the other hand, the constitutional and | conrervative whigs have warmly received the plat- form; but they have great doubts of the success of a military man with such a platform. * * It_is evident, from these indications of public inion, both from the newspapers and the assem- the people, that the nomination of General Scott has by no means been received, in the different sections of the country, with the same unanimity as the nomination cf General Pierce by the democracy. General Scott will be acknowledged to be one of the greatest military chieftains that has n since the days of Washington. No one doubts that. If the fact of being a successfu! soldier, through the whole course of life, is to be regarded as a full and sufficient port to the office of chief magis- strate, in the condition and circumstances in which this it nation is now placed, there would be no op- ee m whatever to “ the General who never lost a ttle,” and he might march into the White House at the head of the army, with bands of music playing, colors fiying. and bright military plumes nodding, without faking the trouble of counting the ballots, which, in that case, would be as ureless as counting the sands upon the seashore. Far more to the pur- would it be to enumerate his hundred fights and reckon the number of the slain. But we have reached that point in our history when high princi- ples, and not mere military renown, must decide the pretensions of men to hold the highest office in a civil, nota military government. The balance of power between the North and the South is now in the crisis of adjustment, and the result will be, that new ideas and new issues are going to affect the com- ing contest—ideas and issues quite different from any that have influenced the contest forthe Presidential cbair for many years; and the le will look for some proof of the principles which the candidates cherish, becaure these principles may affect, for good or evil, for better or for worse, the future action of the government in its domestic relations, and in the execution of the laws of Congress, and they may af- fect the very destiny of the country itself. Indeed, this new phase is beginning to make its | py at an early stage of the canvass. Oneof | the Seward whig journals speaks in the most raptur- | ous language about the candidates, while it pours its wholesale condemnation ‘Upon the platform. 4 We see, therefore, from the platform, the meet- ings, and the journals of the w ie party, that the bomination of General Beott, with all his military | glory, has by no means been received with the same | unanimity as the nomination of General Pierce. One | portion of the whigs object to the nomince, the | are other to the platform. Both sections are aiding and | aseisting in the demoralization of their party, and be- fore next fall they may succeed in producing a com- lete disruption ‘in its ranks. It is like the case of the man who married two wives, one young and the other old. The younger one never ceased pullin; out all his gray hairs, and the old one pulled out his black hairs. The result was, that between them both, they did not leave him a hair at all, and he we ae perfectly bald, an object of laughter and erision, [Froin the New York Herald, July 15, 1852.) GENERAL ECOTT AND THE ALIEN 1,4W8—MORE DOCU- MENTS—ASTOUNDING DEVELOPEMENTS. We lay before our readers, in this morning’s Hera.p, the most remarkable and important docu- ment which has yet come to light-during the present campaign. In iteelf, aaa passing anonymous com- munication to a newspaper, it amounts to little or nothing; but in connection with the fact that Gen. Scott is the author, it becomes a matter of the oor 'y cet interest and of the gravest moment, especial! to that immense body of our out the limits of the United ores to exclude forever from the tu e locument in question is from the National Intelli- gencer, of December, 1844, and bears the signature of “Americus.” We are, however, authorized to ray that this “Americus” is General Soott—that he-is the writer ofthe article; and, furthermore, that if required, we are prepared to prove it, accord- ing to the usages in such cases made and provided. We shall accordingly treat the document as if it were signed by Wiutleld Scott in his own name; and we challenge any of his most honest ans, or apy of the most unscrupulous of the “higher law” demagogues, by whom he is surrounded, to a refuta- tion of this indictment, ‘What, then, does “‘Americxs,” alias Gen. Scott, propose to do, in order to rid himself and the coun- try of the terrors of our foreign born population? He gimply propoees to amend the existing naturalization laws, in a vew law, as follows :— 1.—To reduce the term of naturalization from five years to three years. 2.—To exclude all altens forever from the right to vole tw any pullic elections whatever, %.—Buch aliens as +ball have served two years in the army or navy, who shall thereby be entitled to the rights of citizenchip, including the right of suffrage. —Aliens shall be exempted frem involuntary service in the militia. the army, or navy, (just as free negroes and Indians are.) 5.—he law to go into operation six months after its yareoge. . * * * * * © We here repeat, then, that from 1835 to 1/44, a sufficient pericd is involved to allow of a man’s rinciples, upon any question, to become hardened nto convictions; £0 that when General Seott de- clares, after nine years deliberation, that ‘‘we are literal enough to open the door to the children of for- eigners, who may be here, without allowing ther fathers to ccme heretohelp to govern us,” we must’ believe that it is his conyiotion. A pan born with- ites, which he Be ‘ht to vote. * Ifthe American people desire to out down the margin of pe ular sovereignuty—to introduce again the gocd old times of the alien and sedition laws— the views of General Scott upon naturalization sug- gest the course to be taken. If they wish a nilitary Gespoti:m, and a classification of aliens with negroes and Indianr—if they with to procure a message to Congress urging there beautiful aristocratic reforms— and if they wirh to see abolitionism, and a paltry, impudent, and selfish aristocracy lording it over the country, read the programme of “Americus,” and they have their man. If they wish to divide the peo- Be into cates, and the country into sections and factions, and engender those hostilities between them which ripen into bloody revolutions and intestine wars, “Americus” is the ticket. Finally, we repeat, that General Scott, brave and patriotic soldier as he is, ond has been, is still “Americas,” and in that vnenviable character we hold him responsible to the country. {From the New York Herald, Aug. 1, 1852) THE PITTSBURG CONVENTION—THE PLATFORM— SEWARD’S POLICY—THE PROSPECT.

The democratic party, whatever may be their local dis- putes upon local tickets, and local questions, are united ay their Presidential candidate, from Cape Cod to San Francisco, and from the great lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, as they were never united before. In fact, it is manifest that the isms of our modern phi- Iesophers, and infidel retormers, and abolition dema- goenes, have so far demoralized the whig party hat there is no longer any adhesion in its elements; but that it is breaking up, and that its rapid disso- lution and reconstruction upon some new and sepa- rate basis, North and South, are consequences which are now inevitable, and may be expected to follow close upon the heels of the Presidential Ce RE SF Ripe SR eB os! Such are the unmistakeable signs of the times, The military reputation of General Scott, the great- est living military chieftain on the American conti- nent, to a most extraordinary degree, has proved a political abortion. When gunpowder capital can- not be revived, even Ly the wonders and the thua- ders of Niagara Falls, and in full view of the heights of Chippewa, Queenstown, and Lundy's lane, then, indeed, as a Presidential article, is saltpetre at a discount. Tke whole country demands somethin; more. The last experiment with that good, hones! old man, General Taylor, was enough. He was a ae General, quite a8 successful as General Svott; ut the Presideney was not his vocation. Free soil and abolition demagogues crept in and controlled his cabinet, through his kitchen cabinet, while Gal- Foibe and Gardiners, and Chickasaws, swept out of he treasury thousands, hundreds of thousands, and even millions of the public money. Yet General Taylor was honest—honest as the day was long. He was, however, unequal to the important de- mands of the high civil station to which he had been elevated; and hence he died with a resolution of censure hanging over his head in Congress, for certain rascalities of which he was as innocent and ignorant as King Kamehameha of the Sandwich Islands. The result is the wonderful falling off in mere military popularity which has been illus trated in this campaign. The people want some- thing more. * s LR ee RE ‘The attempt to arouse a military furore has proved & mitetable failure. The pictorial documents got up by Greeley, Tepresesiy Scott inthe midst of smoke and fire, urging on his troops, have turned out worse than his speculations in zinc, quartz, and copper stock jobbing. Hypocrisy has met its re- ward. It was not proper that those who so bitterly denounced the war, and “gave aid and comfort to the enemy,” should sing hosannahs to the chieftain whore garments were dyed with blood inits prose- cution. Some regard should be paid to decency in posers as well as in one’s personal appearance. The jing was too barefaced—it had too much the ap- pearance of eating one’s own yrords. * * Is General Scott «till desirous of re-establishing a national bank, a fiscal corporation, or any other monster of that surt? And as the question of another bankrupt law may spring up one of these fine days, is he still in favor of that wholesale system of sponging out private debts by a legalized repudiation ? hat are his opinions on the an- nexation of Canada? What has he said applicable to the Le ot of Cuba, or another slice of Mexico? What isthe secret of the very intimate relatious between General Scott and Seward and his agents and allies, before the convention, and after @ convention? Issues such as these are the issues upon which the people wish to be informed. They ractical things. Instead of pressing these questions, however, the democratic jor have been burying themselves in clearing up the silly charges of cowardism and abolitionism against General Pierce, and in Saining, up the paltry pay and extra allowances to General Scott for his public eervices in the army. In fact, the democrats owe nothing in respect to the good prospects of their national ticket to the tact or g management of their party journals. They have been doing watt work in a good cause. If they succeed, they i owe their success tu the'r principles, to their bona fide adherence to their platform, to the independent press, and to the spontaneous “sober second thought” of a patriotic and intelligent people.

If we a desire to make an approximation to the results of thei paeetoe Secon of noe month, the only mode of doing so is by means of a thorough and Zereful and deliberate analysis of the ast elections and their peculiar characteristics. In our columns elsewhere, to-day, we have compiled in one mass the popular and State elections which have taken place in this country from the year 1624 up to the preeent time. These tables are cal- culated from tLe most accurate data, and have been compiled and preserved during a series of twenty years, the mort of that time iu connection with or under the supervision of this establishment, They comprire the figures of every Presidential election, from that ot 1624 up to 1548, besides inclading al- most every interven! ng State election since the year 136. There tables will form, for the politician as wellas for the man of business and the man of lei- sure, @ series of authentic and curious facts, from which, with his own recollection, united with the facts of history, he may be enabled to form certain conclusions bared upon the past elections in this untry, a8 to the probable results of the approaching one for, the Presidency now pending. * Buch are the general views with which we ac company there important and valuable tables of election results for the past weet beng According to all rational conclasions, founded on facts and on natural inferences, it would appear that General Scott has not the slightest chance of reaching the Presidency, and that all the military popularity at- tributed to him is an utter and unqualified absurdity in the h’story of politics in this country. Our elec- tions have been decided by other causes and springs than those arising from military popalarity, and even the military renown of Jackson, Harrison, and Taylor, would uever have elevated any of them to the Presidency without the combination of other political, social, commercial. and financial causes, concurring in thore particular times and janctures. ‘The free soil vote, bereft of its Van Buren intluence, which gave ita factitious importance in 1848, will be reduced to its natural dimensions.

GENFRAL PIERCE AND THE RELIGIOUS TEST—THB QUESTION SETTLED AT LAST. We publish in another part of this day’s paper © very important correspondence, that gives its qui- etus, now and forever, to the infamous calumny against Gencral Pierce, in reference to the religious clause in_the constitution of New Hampshire, ex- cluding Catholics from office in that State. This atrocious fraud was hatched by Slievegammon & Co., of the New York Tribune, and industriously circulated all over the country by the majority of the whig newspapers, with a zeal and severance worthy of a better cause than personal defamation for party purpores. The documents we publish do five years to create an anti-slavery sentiment in the Noith for nothing. The seeds which they have | sown bave taken deep root, and are spreading upon | every wide.

There is every reason, then, to apprehend, espe- | cially in connection with the Webster defection that this Pittsburg movement, from the succeseful efforts of Seward and company to impregnate the whig party ofthe North with abolitionism, and all , the other abominations of the day, will result in the loss to Scctt of Ohio, and New York, and Massachn- setts, and Pennsylvania. Should this be the result, then we may look. forthe merging of the Northern | whig party into the general consolidated abolition party of the North.

THY PREBIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN—DAD MANAGEMENT OF THR DEMOCE. There is cvery prospect now that General Pierce not remove any doubt from our own mind on the subject, for we never had a doubt. We know that, like the chargeapt cowardice and drunkenness, which were part of the rame foul brood, it was concocted for the vile purpose of misrepresenting an honest man before the country, in the hope of ae him in the contest for the ptean But there are many dupes of party intrigue who may have been led astray by the false lights hung out by des byte for whose conduct a counterpart can only found in the dark deeds of the Barnegat wreckers. To all such simpletons, this correspondence must bring conviction like the lightning’s flash; and we en- vy not the man—hopelessly blind must be be—who needs any further evidence to convince him of the | cruel wrong done to General. Pierce by these politi- cal pirates. To accuse an innocent man of a crime, has been always regarded, in every country and in every age, as an art of barencas, stamping its perpetrators as cold blooded villains. But to cl a crime upon man not only innocent, but known to the accusor to abhor the crime, and to have done his utmost to prevent it, is an acme of villany for which lbageage jails to supply a name; and all men, even criminals, shun contuct with the moral leper. Does this species, of infamy lore its treble dyed criminality when it is perpetrated to defeat one candidate in a Presidential election, and to secure the success of another? Does‘ the end sanctify the means?” or are the authors of the accusation against General Pierce not to be placed in the same moral category with the wretc who take “blood-money” to swear away the lives of innocent men ina court of jnetice? As in the case of the charges of cowardice and drunkenness, we knew that this c also would one day or other fall w the heads of its coneoctors with a terrible iom; and here it is, like a thunderbolt, that must crushjthem to the earth.

But they indicate the facta sufficiently broac and expansive for the mind to perceive that, in the coming Presidential election in this beet we are g to behold one of the most e: inary revulsions or revolutions against mili availa~ bility and mere military Lumbug, that ever took place among a sensible and great people. There seems to be no doubt that Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana, in the recent contests dui the be- ginning of this week, have gone for the United De- mocracy by large und astounding majorities. There is no necessity to enter into details of this county or that county, this district or that district, im re- ference to these great results; the broad fact is before us, and that fact is a premonitory symptom of the prodigious revolution in public sentimag with respect to military humbug, which yeh be fully developed at the polls next month, The cause of these recent result; tm the elections throughout those great State, are both remote and immediate.
