Parson Bhownlow, who was rocororoondd to tho Secretary of State by a majority of the Wbf mem bers of Congress from Tennessee, as & proporporson to print tho laws of tho United States, on acqonl of his orthodoxy as a Whig and tho popularity of his paper, and who Mr. Webster endorses in reply to Senator Mangum, is now publishing an aitbontic Life of Scott, from which wo sclocl tho Mowing obaptor, commending it to (he attention of our readers, asking them while they read it to boar in mind that it is not “locofoco slang,” but the iruduc , tion of one who prints tho laws of tho UnUedSlalcs, “nr autkoritt,” from a Whig administration j chapter hi. Pike's Life of Scolt,‘lho picture book,'a going nut into (bo country by ship loads, an atrxiously false biography in ail material respects, intoded to deceive and humbug tho people. This promotion was gotten up by iho Centra! and Executive Commit tee at Washington, whoso members are each and all office seekers, having the promise ofa reward in the event of Scott's election. J.S, Pike, the writer of this "picture book," is Iho notorious Abolitionist, who was beaten for Congrssa in Maine by Fuller, Democrat, in tho last contest in that Stale. Hois tho Washington correspondent of Greeley's Tribune, the organ of Northern Abolition Whiggcry. Pfce, tho biographer of Scolt, is an Abolitionist of as d«op and hateful a dye, as the notorious Garrison or Hate, and was no doubt selected as (ho writer of Scott's Life, to reconcile Northern Abolitionists to tho South* ern Platform! Three large job offices arc engaged in N. York in working off those Lives, from Sternlypo plates, and Greeley superintends the factory. Then is one other set of these plates at Cincinnati, mat , Abolition office. Tens of thousands of these "picture books" are being ground out for the uto of the Fre« Soiler of Ohio, Illinois, la , and Michigan. Tho hoatk qrurlcrs of tho concern nt Washington, is (lie No tional Fra office, tho groat Conn at Abolition press of the Union, where, wo are informed by letter, i power press is engaged night and day, in turning them off. Our object in selling forth a new Life ofScotl, is, to supply various important items, 101 l out of Pike’s companion. Thai work represent* Scott like Wash. mgton,ss fighting tho battles of his country for mere glory and patriotism, without any kind of compensa tion. Washington did command our armies through the Revolution without receiving one dollar of com pensation. Gen. Scott, on the other hand, has re ceived out of tho public Treasury in forty four years of a military career,TWO HUNDRED AND FOR TY SEVEN THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS ! This is compensation enough for (ho services ho ever has rendered in 44 years, boeduso it is an average of $5,024 00 per annum,or 810,50 per day! Why do wo assert this 7 Gen. Scolt entered i tho service on the 3d of May, 1808, as Captain of Light Artillery. lie remained in (his rank for six years, and during which lime lie received as pay and prcquisilcs $5,754 00. On tho 25th of July, 1814, ho was hr6vcttcd a Ma jor General. In that capacity, in frm# of peace , ho received in pay and prrquisitics, §1.412 per year.— Since 181 4, out of (ho 38 years, the country ha a been at pence 28, during which lime Scolt lino received 1 $90,240 ! On tho 24 th of Juno, 1841, he was crea ted a Major General, Ins pay bong iho same as it was while brevctlod. But tils compensation during lime of war, or while in active service, was always 1 .f 4J v. i— i - -*-«r-r: c ‘r IB years in active service, os it is termed, and during (hat lime, ho has received in salary, forage, subsist ence, Ate., 5&,412 00— in 8151,41 600 ! For his whole 44 years, two thuds of which timo was spent in card playing, and visiting ihe fashionable watering places in the country, ho lias received from the United Stales Treasury 8247,400, or a quahtcr or a million I!! While Gen Washington accepted Ills commission on tho express condition that only his expenses were to be paid,Gen. Scot! has received about five fortunes, and is entitled to nothing more. Dul in 1836, ho conceived the idea, that in consequence of being wounded at Chippewa, ho could add to his already f»t salary, hy having himself placed on iho Invalid Pention Roll, which would hive yielded him an an. nunl pension of several thousand more. Accordingly he drew up his petition and laid it before the House of Representatives accompanied by numerous hard oaths, setting forth that ho had boon wounded in the shoulder' This petition ho urged with usual zeal, in person, and when inquired of if ho intended to retire, end lire on his pension ho answered NO. but that ho wanted the pension in addition to tho SIX TEEN DOLLARS PER DAY, ho was then rccolv- Jog I In response to his petition, the Committee, a majority of whom wore bis political friends, reported advorsiy. Thus it will bo scon, that General Scott was not satisfied will) an enormous salary for life or during good behavior, but wanted to bleed the Treasury ofthe people, in tho shape of a huge pension! About what wo might expect of a general who would use tho funds of Ills poor soldiers, when but a Captain of the Army ! An Offset vo the Candv Stout. —Tho whig pa pers mention on instance of rare bcnovolnnco in Gen era) Pierce—his present of a cent to a little boy to buy candy. As a fair off-set to It, the following authentic ancodolo of Gen. Scott is presented to the reader; It is said that General Scott followed Fillmore to Virginia, last year, to efface the acting President's fool.prints from the sands of the Old Dominion. — The o ld hero fn his Crave/a chanced to haro hie attention called to « little boy on the way-aide crying most piteously because some of hi* companions had whipped him. The old hero, moved with compassion, called the little lad to him, and putting his hand on his head, thus administered tho balm of consolation. My son, cheer up. Go homo and 101 l your father and mother, that Major General Winfield Scott, of the United Stales army, pul hit hand on your head !" OQ»Tho Now York Mirror, » Federal paper, edi ted by one of Mr. Fillmore’s officials, seems to look upon tho election of Gon. Fierce as a fixed fact. It says: "Granting that other candidate! may bo storlodto divide the Democratic toUs—still, when It is consid ered that the Democrats have a large majority in the Union, and there la each palpable evidence of indif ference, of opposition to General Scott in (ho Whig ranks*—the very floating cole that elected Harrison and Taylor will ride anon the lido whers success ap pears certain. The Whig Mass Convention at Lun dy's Lane was not, from oil accounts we can -gather, equal to ilia meeting at Hillsboro’-—albeit of Gen. Scott's immense military prettige, Hie novelty of a* visit to Niagara, and the carte blanche of free tickets by ateamboat and rallroada, wore shoveled in to heap up the measure." Webster’s Advice.— We are informed that Mr. Webster lately remarked to a young whig of this Slate substantially as follows:—"There Is no whig Enrty left; It is broken up entirely. If you wish to o any body you must bo a Democrat." That Is good advice, and thousands of those who have heretofore opposed the Democracy are following It. —Concord Patriot.

The meeting referred to was held at Con cord, on tho 20lh iovl. A permanent association was organised, to moot annually, of which General F, Pierco was elected President. A report of proceedings in tho Boston Post says; Gen. Pierco returned his sincere thunks for the high honor paid him, remarking that circumstances rendered it necessary for him to decline the office, end ho begged leave to propose the name of (heir last commander, Col. Seymour. Col. Seymore said he fell It hie doty to decline acceptance of the office owing to tho groat distance that ho resided from Now England, and earnestly hoped tho General would consent to accept. General Pierce arose, and in some exceedingly happy remarks, declined receiving tho office, remark* ing ho should insist that Colonel Seymore serve as president of tho association, for by that means (ho regiment will secure a visit from the Colonel much oftoncr. (Cheers.) Tho General then proposed to the 9ill regiment to extend to tho entire first and second brigades of (he third (General Pillow's) regi ment, an invitation tojoin tho association. It would then, added tho General, consist qf members from oil tho New England Stales, Ohio, Michigan, South Carotins, Tennessee and Texas, and thus a band would be formed for all coming (imo (o maintain the Union, which, I hope, will ever bo perpetuated. Col. Seymour was then elected president, and Gen. Pioteo retired. Tft»4bi(owing resolution was then adopted, “ with a spontaneous burst of approbation "That wo cannot adjourn this meeting without expressing our high admiration ofGcnonl Franklin Pierce, Ist Colonel oftbo 9lh regiment, who, as a : patriot and soldier in the Kite war with Mexico, nobly I sustained the honor of his native State and country j adding to courage which elicited (ho applause of the army, the greatest kindness and courtesy. Wo awe! him a debt of"gratitude which wo do not expect lo 1 bo able lo repay ; hut wc beg him to bo assured that ' wo have neither (orgollcn his heroism on tho field of battle nor his attention to those who wore suffering from wounds or disease.” 'Ttte then adjourned lo dinner. I At the head of (ho (able sit General fierce and 1 at the other end was Colonel R«ymanr, ~r Connecticut. After the meals and delicacies were amply discussed, Colonel Clemens, addressing Gon. Pierce, said : “I rise to perform a pi casing doty.— 1 am instructed, sir, lor cod the following resolutions.” Col. Clemens (hen read the above resolutions, at Iho conclusion of which Gen. Pierce arose, evidently much affected, and in the language of the heart, returned his most sincere (hanks for (ho noble vindi cation of acts which ho said lie had freely rendered, wi(h no olhor object than that of serving his conn-1 try. Ho made brief a llusion to his Mexican service,, and in passing, paid a high tribute to the worth and gallantry of Major Stephens and Colonel Steploc. A MILITARY ADMINISTRATION, The following extract from tho speech of Hon. Stephen A Douglass, at tho Democratic meeting In Richmond, Vo ,is worthy of careful perusal. It is intcicsting and instructive, and cannot fail to inspire the mind of every candid reader with a sense of , d*nn<>. I" ll.» Inlofotl. * u - - ‘- r • - -«*..li C- n military odministralion : Why lias tho Whig parly forgotten, with an obii vion so complete, all that it once said about military politicians 7 Time wns when they preferred “war, pestilence nnd famine," to the election of a military chieftain, referring to Gen Jackson who did not at (ho time of tin nomination, hold any commission in the army, who never wns a soldier hy profession, and who entered the nrmy only in tho hour of danger, os Pierce did, and like him, sheathed his sword when the war was over. (Great Applause.) We have yet to see a professional soldier succeed os a Statesman. Washington was no military man I by profession, fallowing the army fora living, flo Was a civilian in fullest sense of the word. Ho was roared for nvil pursuits. He hold civil offices both before nnd after Iho revolution. Ho wos a member ofthe ConiinrniinlOongrcss that founded (ho Union, and a member of tho convention that framed our coirelitulion- Ho knew whether naturalization Inws ought to bo uniform or not. Tho period during which Washington hold a commission in the army,consti tuted, indeed, but n very few years of his long life.— Ho Was tho first of our citizen soldiers, (Cheers and apptsuso.) Andrew Jackson, 100 [Hero Mr. Douglass rvas interrupted by long and hourly chcora.] Ho coniftjuod : Gentlemen, it docs my hdert good to hoar Demo crals applaud the name of Andrew Jackson. (Renew ed applause ) Andrew Jackson started in life as a poor attorney, was United Stales Attorney under Washington, a Senator of the United Slates from Tennessee, and a Judge of lire United Stales Supremo Court of his Stale, before ho cvnr drew a sword When hia country was involved in war. only, did ho like Washington, leave tho purauila of a citizen fur the duties of a soldier, and like Washington, when war was at an end ho threw up his commission and wont to a farm. Like Washington, also, ho loft that form again only la become President of the United States. Ho was not a member of (ha military pro. Cession ; like Washington, ho was never moro than a citizen soldier. Of forty years public service, not moro than five or six were spent in the army, and Iho rest in civil life. (Cheers.) So with Harrison.— lie commenced hia corcer as a young physician; held many civil offices before ho wont into (ho army; I ho wont to tho army at last only as Mr. Pierce did, because there was war in (ho land ; and when ho was nominated for the Presidency ho had long since ceased to bold Iho commission of a military officer. Rut, next, wo come in tho name of Taylor. He was tho first, tho very first professional soldier who every became the Chief Magistrate of (his country. My friends, was there anything in the result of that experiment which invilet you to repeat it! If ho had lived for one year moro than ho did, with that cabi {not about him would this Union bo extant at iho present time 7 ( believe General Taylor to have been an honest man; but at tho Umo of hlo death ho was simply takings miiifary view of a cipß question ; and neither Whig nor Democrat who is at all informed upon tho history of lhAt period will bo disposed to deny that ho had already com mitted himself to the slops which would have led Inevitably to a civil war botwoon tho fodornl govern, mont and several soverign Slates In oar Union, and thereby have rent in fragments iho entire confedera tion. Why is U that the South American republics do not thrive 7 why do they have no peace 7 why do They live in perpetual revolution 7 They have adopt ed our laws; they have copied our constitutions; yet they do not succeed, while wo do. Why do not like causes produce like effects? Because, while between their Institutions and ours (hero Is a good parallel, in (heir administration of them they make a grand difference. In those republics the cotmnan ders of their armies arc invariably candidates for the Presidency, while with us such bos never been the case until the present lime. In those republics, when a civilian Is a candidate of one aide, ant) the com mander in chief is sol up by the opposite party, the civilian Is generally elected, by (ho people, but the toldier invariably taket pottettionof the office by hit ttoord. Hence their civil ware, resulting in anarchy and despotism, and destroying every vestige of liberty. — Now, wo are importing this unhappy, this Mexican policy, Into the United Stalee. We ere copying misfortunes—borrowing a falsi fault. This practice for setting up the commanders of the army for the highest civil office, I repeat, is an innovation on our theory and our practice, and tho history of those miserable sister Slates ought to settle the question of its expediency, It woslbo hand of Providence that saved us from our first and only military odminietralion. Taylor was gathered to his fathers 5 Fillmore reigned in his stead—a man who previous to that time, had never furnished such proofs of superiority of statesmanship os caused him to bo looked to as a candidate for tho first office—a man of respectable talents, respectable character, and of gentlemanly deportment, who lias performed no great and striking act to'signalizc his administration in history. Yet, regarding his official term in contrast with the military adminis tration that proceeded him, wo feci—aye, all of us feel—that Fillmore was a real Godeend! It was tho calming of (ho waters when the ship was sink, ing in tho tempest. Who It responsible fer the Religious Test In Mew Hampshire. The following extracts from a letter of the Hon.

A western editor thinks that stealing a man's wife is bad enough but to burrow Iho husband’s buggy to carry her off in, is adding insult to injury. A young gentleman of Detroit, who has lately been much afflicted by palpitation of tho hoarl.Hsys he has found considerable relief by pressing another palpi tating heart to his bosom. What a man ! ‘John, I fear you are forgetting mo,’ said a bright eyed coquette to her sweetheart tire other day. ‘Yes, Sue, 1 have been for oettino you these two years.' The young man who neglects (0 trot out his Anna Maria, such evenings as wo have just now. and (root her to ico cream and olhor delicacies, don't deserve to have a sweetheart.
