POETRY.

Incidents in the Lite of Pierce-
Friink Pierce was born. in early life,
Down in the Granite State, I

And growed to be a General,
VVhen he reached man's estate.

Before he riz so very high.
A Coiigressmiin he went :

And. tnany years before. he gave
An unknown boy a cent.

The facts are these. as Gov. Steele
Related in his speech ;—

'.l‘wo boys were sucking. by the road,
A stick ofcandy each. - '

A third sat blnbboring on ll stone,‘ ‘
His eyes briinfull of \Vtlll’l'--

Says Pieice: my nasty little friend,
You feel wuss than you oughlto. _

I want to suck. theboy replied.
And have not. got. acent, _

Says Pierce. producing that. amount,‘
Now. stru nger, "let her went !"

The boy looked iip‘and’blotved his nose,
And, with prophetic lire, .

<Saii.l : you shall be the President ' ~

For giving me that 'iite.

S_ll'mtge boy. said Pierce, I am surprised
Tliat. you slioulil think ii cent I

Is casli enough to make a Dem-
Ocralic" President.

The boy replied :—a cent. I own,
Is not a heavy price;
But deinocratic presidents
Are not upon the rise!

\

Pier:-e now resolved to shape his course
Upon the gczicrous plan,
And soon he found :inollii=r chance
To prove himself ll man ;-—
A Simduy. Sclicul was in distress‘,
\' No Lilirary it liiid.-—
Said Pierce: this thing must never be,
'Tis loo infernal bad.

So seiziiig it subscription list,
He placed it on his hot,

And, signing 5 and 20 cents,
Said. CALL on Mt: roa THAT!

Elated by such deeds as these,
Pierce next to Congiess went,
Aiiil having spent so much at home

Thought there he'd sarca cent.

A bill was up to grant. a boon
To an old Soldier's 'wife:— '

—('l‘he gallant. H.iiiit:i.<o.~'. who’d served’
His country all his lil'e,)—-

And while the Naiion’s heart beat quick, -
To cheer the widow's woe,

And patriotic voices answereil, YES,
Frank Pierce responded, NO!

His noble deeds were now complete
But: one thing more was wantcfl,—-
So down to M exico he went
And tried to fighi—but fainted!

Press on! ‘pi-essoitl _
Press on ! press on l we love the boldness,
Tliat carves its way to victory !
The hearts wrapt up in barren coldness,
Are those cliiim'il by theenemy!
The lzinie of Scottiviis never tarnished
With base desertion ofa friend;
His noble pri-alt is evei garnished
\Vilh firm devotion to the end I
Press on, press on, &c.

Come on! come on! we love the rushing
Of friends to share the Hero's lot.

And keep the coluinn‘ouwiitd pushing.
l4‘orbiiive and gallant VVinficld Si-ott !

Our foes, dishearteneil, stand alirighted:
On every breeze they hear huzzas:

They feel that all their hopes are blighted;
’.l‘hut doomed forever is their cause!

Come on, coineon, &c.

Sing on! sing on! we love the shouting,
'l‘hat: Whigs are sending through the air;
It Proves that they are bent on routing
Tlia l ky party i-.vi=rywhi=.re.-'
Our lli-.ro's sword is brightly shining;
H 3 minor we have girdeil on. ‘
Till l'ieedotn’s hand shall finish twining
The wreath for Scott and Graham won I
iiig on, sing on, etc.‘

MISCELLANY. 

The Reason wlty Bennett of the
Herald goes against Scott.

We find the following in the Memphis
Enpuirer :

Two oi-three summers ago, Gen. Scott
was spending it short interval of leisure at
that delightful re.'sort’ Newport, Rhode Island.
\'Vhile sojourning: there’ one tnnrnihg at the
breakfast table, he ask:-ii one of the servants
fora newspaper. A lady sitting 0‘ppOSllP, a
pcrfectstranger to him, reached across the
table with a neivsnaper in her band, saying,

“ Gen. Scott, alloivlmc to furnish you with
the New .Y0r/: Herald.”

“I thank you Madame. very sincerely.”
I‘Pll]l'l'lP(l the General. “for vour‘ kindness
-—but I 71.21.-er rm/Z Ilia Herald.” '

“ Do you know, sir,” ietorted the lady, with

‘ the utmost indignation painted on her coun-

tcnan('e——“ do youknow, sir, that I am the
wife of-Mr. Bennett, the editor ofthe Herald '2"
General Scott-—-“ I cvitainly did not know,

Madame, that such was" the case, of I should’
not have been guilty of making the remark

that has inst passed my lips. But, Madame,"
I have siiicl it,aod itcunnot now be recalleil.”

From thalday to this, the husband of Mrs-

Bcnncltlias made most malignant war upon

Gen. Scott, tbrnngli the cofumns ofhis un-
princiipleil journal. No species of attack-
no‘ mode ol warfare, has been left untried to
defame and blacken one of the best and
brightest characters in American history. -

£t§=,A man named John Timpson, died
suddenly, in Danbnry jail on Monday night
of last week. He had been placed lrrcon,
finement for picking the‘ pocket of Mr. Beers‘
Blakematt the Sunday previous. Ajury of
inquesi, were of opinion that. his deatl1.'re-
stilied from the excessive
spirits, . . ,

Letter ti-om an Old Soldier,

We: have believed, (says the Huntsville‘
Southern A'di:qi:ale,_) since the canvass opened,
actively, that‘S_cott would _ci_a__rry Tennessee.
'l‘bere:ivas some dis-"affection at firét-‘seine
few-soured politicans flew off--but the bone
Md $i!ieW Sloiitl firm, closed their ranks‘, fix‘
ed bayoncts, and charged _upon their oppo-
nents. ,,,_'I‘he indications now are that the
soldier ‘Suite is s‘afe.for the gallant old soldier
who has always" led the columns to victory.
As one of the -many indications we see, we
copy théifollotving letter from Lieut. Shields,
of Sevier county, East 'I'c.nnessee. The
Knoxville Register says he "is one of those
who ‘volunteered from Sevier county to serve
in the I\ilcxi_can war, was afterwards a lieu-
tenant, cornmissioneil by Polk, fought in

I every battle in the valley, of Mexico, was sev-

craltimcs wounded in battle, as the scars
on his body test.” He now is enthusiastic

—. for Scott. Listen how he talks about his old.

commander; his words came burs ing from
the heart, and communicate on electric
thrill to the hearts of others‘:

1 Ssvi1:r.v1Li.rt, August 6, 1852.

Tolhe Editor; l learn by the newspapers
iniitsnmie man in “Little Kentuck" has ‘ be-

Scozt. —I had supposi (I this wasa fice coun-
try, and that a man bad it right to vote for
whom be. pleased. The writer oftbat article
says that lam aconvert. In that you are
correct; I was a Democrat, and at fir.~.t felt
like supporting Pierce; but when I remem-
bered‘: the trials and dangers -l had gone
througbiiviib while under Scott,I did not
feel that] could do my feelings justice and‘
vote against him. '

When ?I thought ofthe long and toilsnrne
march from Vera C-ruzto the city of Mexico,
when we were fifty days in the heart of an
enemy's ‘country, cut off frornall supplies,’
as well as fromall coinmniiication with our
own country and friends, surrounileil by
guerillas on every side; and when you heard
ofus again we had planted the star-Spangled
bannernpon the Halls of the Mootezumas.
and it was still floating triuinpbatly in the
breeze over as brave an army and as noble
a commader as ever wi.-nt forth to- batile; and
when I_beard -my brave "old couimander

° abused lfiouiil S7"£i’id”i't n"o""'lo'n’g9rL"" ll/ell do
. lrcmember with what kindness be visited

the sick and wounclel in that campaign, and

how be administered to their wants day after
pay. I tell you, Mr. Editor, the officers and
soldiers under his comm-'1nd loved him. You
my brother S()lCllt‘.l'S, remember how he visit-
ed the hospitals in the city of ‘Mexico, and
how be administered :to the wants of the
sick—furnishing each man with a shirt, a
blanket. a pair of shoes, and a dollur’s worth
of tobacco; and Ifor one drew all these
comforts, and a kn-ipsack also, as did all.otb-
crs who l0:‘t their in battle. But now l“ am

to be abu~‘al because I choose to vote for
my kind, geneious, noble and brave old

commander; and that too;—by a man who

tires from behind a masked battery and won't
sign his name.

I venttirethe man that has written against

, .nc,,and who is" tiyiiig to tear down Scott,

never slept on a wet blanket; never stood
sentry at night for his country ; was never
put on half_ra'ions and baid crackers, and
v‘va.-:never compelled to drink warm vvator,
unless it was to work eff it close of pbyic
But if I am not mistaken, in November next
next, we will give you a hasty plate of Scott
soup, that you will find warm eiiough for
your comfort, and the water of it shall be
real Niagara wa:er.

But I said the soldiers under Scott.’s com-
mand loved him. -You, brother soldiers, re-
member vvnen he was arrested ; you remem-
ber when he was arrested; you remember
the morning he left the army for the United
States, and viliat was done that day; yes,
every regiment marched iound his quarter.-,
clad with in badge of mourning, ‘in order to
show how they honored and loved him.

You know we hac orders not to cheer; but
one of the volunteer companies was obliged
to cheer and break the solemn silence, and
cheer they did. . This was a company ‘of
sbary shooters who took a’ part at Vera Cruz
and Cerro Glordo, and who did so much of
theguerilla fighting on the .l0a(l to the val-
ley of Mexico. They were a noble set of
fellows, and did their duty‘ to a man. You
all remember how slow and siuggisbly we
marcheii up the bill that brought us in_ vicis-
of the capitol, before llie,-b‘altlc'iof Contrcra.-3
and, on arl'lVEtlg at the top of ii, there was"
our old commaniler looking through his spy
glass and crying out to us as we passed liiin,
Boys, the, capital, the capitol, the capitol !”

hour? ,DldD’l you feel new life take hold

by the blessing of God,.we will try and. be

More Democratic Testimony.
_ Gi'or_i/ to l-Vinfilzl Scott.

The folloiving were the sentiments of the
Democrzuic Union, pu bliished at Harrisburg,
in regard to Gen. Scott but five years ago:

The first extract we make is from the
Dcmocralzc Uiziim of April 21st, 1847._ In
it the Union blames'the,wbigs for abandon-
ing Scott and attempting to nominiite Gen.
Taylor: _ _ '

Gen Taylor will tarnish the lustre ofpbis
fame if he permits his name to become‘ the
rallying call for such an unprincip1ed,selfi.=h,
time=séi-ving facti.;n as the vi-big pairty—
They li-.iv_e laid aside Henry Clay, at whose
name every whig heart was wont to bcat
with exultaiion, they have stepped over the
gallant Scott, whose cirlues and abilities
iveie theibeme of praise, and have pounced
upon Gen. -Taylor in the hope that-"his glory
will cover the defic,ienifies of their principles.
What ivasiibavalueof all their professions
to Henry Clay ’.? As much as the friend.-hip

of the fawning, sycophantic courtier. -— W hat

was the viorth of their admiration of Gen.
Scott ? As; much as the love of a courtczan.
which takes wings at the approach at adver-
sity. ‘

The second extract is from the Democratic
Union of Maylfith, I842. In it the Union.

-calls Scott the Hero of Lundy’s ‘Lane, al-

though the locofoco papers are now deny-
ing it. p A
“'l‘besi= men were‘ the waim‘ fiieuds of

Harry ol the West, the devoted‘ admirers of
the -Hero of Lundy’s Lane, and are new the

equally auacheel fnlliivvers of Gen. 'l‘aylor,
and will be the suppliaiit courtiers of any one
who issailing, upon the current of popular
lavor. They arena the. alert to throw them-
selves in‘ the wake. ofhim who is most likely

=T»he_tliiril‘extraet is from the Demo‘i:rdtzc'_

Union-of M-ay'12_ih, 1846. .r-The Union was
praising" I’olk’s administration-for‘ its magna-
nimity in appointing Scott-and 'I‘a_vlor,- and

commenting onthe manner in“ which the’

Whigs were trying to _make_political capital
