The delegation from New Hampshire, with all the glevrof State pride, and with ail the witrinth of personal regifrd, would not bate Submitted day Swat to the Convention, nor would they Lave cast sl. vote for me, under circumstances other than that Which occurred. I shall always chey^"with pride and grati tude the recoljection of the fact that the voice which first pronounced fur me and pronounced alone, clink from the mother of States—a pride and gratitude rising above any consequences that can betide me per.oo - May I not regard it as a fact pointing to the, overthrow of sectional jealousies, and looking ICI the permanent life and vigor of the anion Cemented by the blood of those who have . passed to their re' and ? A Union wonderful in its formulaic' boundless in its hope., and amazing in its destiny. I acce t the nomination, relying upon abiding devotion to tibe in tenon, honor and glory of the whole country, but above and beyond all, upon a power superior 'to all human might. A power which from the first gun of the revolu tion through every crisis through which we' have passed—in every hour of acknowledged peril,lwhen the dark clouds hive shut down around us—have interposed as if to baffle human wiedum—outniarch , ed human foretaste, and bring out of darkner the rainbow of promise — weak myself, but iu faith hope I repast my security.

FRANKLIN PIERCE. To lion, 'J. B. Barbour; J.

This greaudistinction--tonferred by a numerous, intelligent and. patriotic body, representing mullions of my countrymen—sinks deep into my heart.; Re memberingthe very eminent names which were be fore the Convention in amicab'ecompetition with my own, I am made to feel—oppressively—the weight of responsibility belonging to my new p,ositioit. Not having written a word to procure this ,dis tinction, I lost not a moment after it had been con ferred in addressing a letter to one of your members, to signify what would be, at the proper time, the 'substance of my reply to the Convention; and( sow have the,honor to repeat in a more formal,saaddar. as the occasion justly demands, that 1 accept the nomination with the resolutions annexed: The political principles and measures laid down in these resolutions are so broad that. but little is left for me to, add. I, therefore, barely suggest,' in this plice, that should. I, by the partiality of my countrymen, be elevated to the chief magistracy of the Union, I shall be ready, in 'my connection with Congress, to recommend or to approve of measures in regard to the management of public domain, so as to secure an early settlement of the same; favor-. able to actual settlers,• but consistent, nevertheless, with a due regard to the.eqiral rights of the whole AmericZn people, in that vast national inheritance and, also, to recommend or apoorn nr 4 ,44...1.-L ....,_., __.,..., „valiance, viz :— d iving tit all .for eigners the right of citizenship, who %hall faithfully serve in time of war one year on boarder our public ships, or in our land forces regular or voltinteer— on their receiving an honorable discharge froth the service. In regard I to the general policy Of the administra• thin, if elected, 1 should of course, look among those who may approve that policy fur the agents to carry it into execution ; and I should seek to cultivre harmony and fraternal sentiments througbourthe Whig party, without attempting to reduce its mem bers by proscription, to 'exact conformity to my views. But I should, at the same nese, be rigorols in regard to qualifications for office, retaining and appointing no one neither deficient in cap city or integrity, or in devotion to liberty, to the c astitu lion, and the Union. Convinced that harmony orgood will between the _different quarters of our broad country is essential . to the present and' future interests of the republic, and with a devotion to those interestathat can know no South and no North, I should neither counte nance nor tolerate any sedition, disorder; faction, or resistance to the law or the Union, on any pretext, in any part of the land; and I 4huuki carry into the civil administration this -one principle of military' conduct—obedience to the leg ti se and, judicial! departments of government, each in its comnitution,l al sphere, saving only in respect to the Legislature; the possible resort to the veto power, always to bel most cautiously exercised, and' under the itdetest! restraints and necessities. Fitielly, for my strict adherence to the inciplet of the Whig party, as expressed in the relotions! 1,,, of the convention, and herein suggested, , itli a sin=; cere and earnest purpose to advance the grestnessl and happiness of the republic, and thus to cherish and encourage the cause of constitutional liberty! throughout the world, avoiding every act and thought that might involve our country in an unjust or 13D-,: necessary war, or impair ,the faith of treeties, an d the d:scountettancing allpolitical agitation injurious to the interests of society sod dangerous to - lhe Union, I Can offer no other pledge or guaranty, than the known locidPots of a long public life, now ult.; deriving the severest examination. ' i Feeling myself•highly fortunate in my associate on the ticket, and with a lively sense of my otbligoi lions to the Convention, and to your personal'sour, tesies, I have the honor . to remain, sir t with -great , esteem, your most obedient servant. , WINPIIII.O SCOTT.

WslpOle, of liancock county. Indians, heretofore a whir leader in the state Senate, and in 1848 one of the Taylor candidates for presidential elector. bits come out in warns opposition to Meese.- tion of Gen. Scott. William Wright, a few yelftsines the whig can: didate for Governor New Jersey, and the chief man of that psny in the state, participated in the-meet ing at Newark, to ratify the nomination of Pierce and King and will warmly exert himself for their election.' Col. 4. G. Ege, lately a Whig menbei of the Ma 'gland legislature from Carroll county, made a speech toe other day in favor of Pierce and King at the raificati9n meeting at Carlisle, Pensylvenia. Gen. Martell has also abandoned the whig party and will lend a hand to elect Pierce and King. The Washington correspondent of the New York - Express,:says that Col. William Campell (the pres t whig Governor of Tennessee, who served in the Mexican s war) has "telegraphed, to the Teneasee members of Congress that he will not abide I by the nomination" of Scott. If we did not have ;this on such undoubted wing authority, we could hardly be lieve it. • James M. Taylor, of Mobile, who was a leader in the "Union party" movements, in a letter to the president of the last Uni.m State Convention, with draws his name "from different posts assigned" him by that body, and declares his enthusiastic support for Pierce and King. ; The Boston Daily Advertiser repines to conduct the Scott campaign on the following sorry bailie: "We hope there will be a disposition of the whits of t he state. however hopeless they may he of the success of this nomination, to unite in support of thenominated'candidate, as the only rallying point of the efforts of the party."
