Dear Sir : I have, as you are fully aware, since 1 have had the privilege of vutiog, always voted for j and advocated whig measures und men; and 1 in | lend to advocate them until 1 shall be convinced that they ore wrong. Rut. in llio prcoonlprosidonti.il question, I a*n fully convinced of the honest. lm»ffriiy and ability of Gen. Pierce : for I have known him personally, and fed satisfied that ho is too good a p.ilriol and lovcrff bin country to allow ony porfy frfling to influence him contrary to bis good judge ment,'in the exercise of bis prerogatives if elected, lollie detriment of bis country. I admire General Pierre fur bis ability and modesty, and shall, if 1 live, give him my vote and do all in my power to get oth ers to do the same. Gun. Scoll’s laurels as a lioro arc enough to satisfy (ho vanity of nny other mon living ; nnd, although 11, 0 country is indebted to him Tor some of its mili- I ary glory, it has acknowledged tho fuel by placing him at tho bond oflhal branch for winch naluro has so eminently befitted him. Further ibun ibis, I can not go for Gen. Scott. As for Gen. Pierce's military capacity, that ia of unimportance now. Ho was not long enough in the service to bo spoiled by il | and I think, from w hot little I saw of the two men. Hint Gen. Pierce ia by f.i 7 the beet filled of the two for tho Presidency of ihrae United Stales. II 1 arnwrung. il is not by deairo to do injustice In Scotl. I would not attempt to lower him in the estimation of his countrymen; but I wonld raise Gen Pierce to the Presidency in preference (o Gin. Scott, because I think ho (Scotl.) Is now os high as wo can make him, and that,loo, on the ladder adapt cd to his peculiar talent. 1 In respect to tho person who impeach the cotirogr and valor af Gen. Pierce, I would any that must of : thorn either did not serve in Mexico, or serving there sm-t'i Ined rulbcr equivocal rcpualiuns. I Tho story of Gen. Picico having fainted is a con temptibly twisted and over wrought ono. Anti al though he mo y have fainted, ll is no evidence of want ol courage; lor 1 saw on instance on tho same field | and on tho same doy, when it is said Pierce fainter!, which I think good evidence that the truest and i bravest men may faint from pain and Buffering. ] Our lamented townsman.

From llic KoysUmo. The Traveling Candidate, As Gen. Sccll progresses, the thin veil of public business thrown over his electioneering tour, appears to bo thrown aside, and ho stands before tho people In his proper position, a candidate for the Presidency, appealing tn person to them for their suffrages, and ondoovoring, by his presence to excite that interest and ontlmslsm which his name, his character, and qualifications, havo failed to excite. It was bad enough to present the commandcr-ln* chief of thoonny as a candidate for the Presidency, while still in possession and the enjoyment of the honors, emoluments and Influence of hie office, but wo think the people of tho United States will deem it considerably worse, to boo that commander-in chief, leaving Ills official duties, while receiving Ids official p-iy, and devoting hie lime and lUtir money to the promotion ofitis own interests os a candidate for the Presidency. . It will not do for the whig editors Co say that (hb | s not tho object of Gen. Scott's present tour, that these receptions are merely accidents!, tlio sponta neous tributes of the affections oCtlio people to a brave old soldier— tbo whole thing was obviously precon certed. llouaok Greeley telegraphs, ahead (hot Gen.Scott,“willconsent to public receptions;” duo notice is given of his arrival at every station, impor tant and unimportant; and ol ovory point, whether a I slopping place, a wood and water station, or a more 1 station to take on or lot off tho Gen oral and Ins committee ore prepared lo b'o received and lo address the people. Wo have already said that tills Is the firpl lime in our political history that such d scone has boon wit nessed, and lint wo think the success of the experi ment will not bo such as to induco any party to haz* 1 ard a repetition of it. There is nothing in the i deportment of Ocn. Scott calculated to conciliate or | attract tho masses, nothing to reconcile them to this I strange departure from propriety-. Th r ro is evident I effort in oil bit) attempts to boliafwclous; in all his I condcßccnlions. Ho is out among the (people, and nothing con bo more ungracious Ilian hie movements through a crowd to whom ho is under 'going the process of introduction. Go where tie I may, if the longed for enthusiasm docs not exist, his I presence will not create it. His appearance in Pennsylvania, Just at this time, is a tacit acknowledgement that the whigs despair of carrying the State, and deem some extraordinary effort necessary to secure it. Having made up their minds to make this desperate effort, (hey should have spared no pains to moke it as successful ns passible ; but “whom the Gods will to destroy, they first make mad,” end hence tho electioneering (cur has been so managed as lo make it oven more unsuccessful hero and more disastrous in its consequence elsewhere than it need have been. Having made tip his mind to “consent lo public re captionB," they should have taken tho General to Lancaster, (lien lie would have beenjat Hollidaysburg | at the miss meeting, and have made his entree into | Pittsburg m d.iy light, instead of al midnight, when sensible people were m (heir bods, and there was no body about lo receive him. Then, ngiin, whatever might bo the effect of tho tour upon the people of Pennsylvania and Ohio, it was certainly not necessary that It should bo so manoged ns to produce injurious effects anywhere [Clse; but by a singular fatuity, Gov. Johnston was brought on from Pittsburg to figure al the the re ception of Gen. Scott at Hollidaysburg, ond then, that there might bu no mistake ns lo his identifica tion wiih the General, ho hastens back to Pittsburg to preside al the meeting (hero which was lo bo ad dressed by him. Tho effect of this identification upon the interests of Gon. Scott in tho south, may, as the newspapers say, “bo more) easily imagined than described.” It was about the only tiling that could have been desired to have rendered Ins pros peels in that region more hopeless limn they were before, the most effectual means of rendering it cer tain (lint he will not receive Iho electoral vole of a Stale south of Mason and Dixon’s line. The sagacity of the General himself must have been sadly at fault when ho allowed himself to he introduced even lo I tie people of Pennsylvania, under the auspices of a man whom they had so emphatic ally repudiated last fall. I On the whole then, wo do not hesitate to pronounce this last grand deplorable expedient to revive the dormant energies of the Whip party, and create (lie Scott enthusiasm which would not grow spontane ously, n failure, and an experiment that will not be repealed. • Very flinch Like a DefnnKcr. Just before llio close of the session of Congress, llio acting Secretary of the Treasury, in reply lo the resolution of Morriwelber, adopted by (bo Senate, made a report from llio records, showing Iho amounts of public money received by Scott and Pierce. It exhibits a very ugly account against Gen. Scott, and c-.lubits him as a defaulter to the Government.— Pierce's account Includes bis pay ns a Senator and I Member of Congress, and on U.

Tho opinion of the Attorney General was solicited on this question, nnd on the I2lh day of I March Inst, that officer gave an opinion in the nega. | live. According to this interpretation of the act of , March 3, 1849, General Scotl was not authorized by I that act to retain tho above sum of $7,885 19, ns Iho collections or contributions on which the charge was based were not made at a sen port, but in the interior.’ 1 I Now, if Ibis does not present Gen. Scotl very much 1 like a Defaulter— unlawfully retaining in his own pocket, money which legally belongs to the Govern ment Treasury— we would like to know whal con stitutes a Dolnnllcr. <<Tlio Ilrlllali Cuudldntc.** Musi of ilio federal papers huvo shown themselves moon enough to attempt to cscito prejudice against tion.
