DREADFUL ?ACCIDENT.
On Wednesday iast, the family of Rev.
A. G. Osborne, of George township was
visited by the severest dispensation it has
over been our lot to record. We are in
debted to Dr. Walker, the attending phy
sician, for the following, facts respecting
the terrible accident. A. son of Mr. Os
borne was engaged in reading in the dwel
ling of his father - on Wednesday evening.
, the 16th inst., surrounded by his brothers
and sisters, and the oil in the lamp being
exausted, he attempted to replenish it
without putting out the light, when the oil
in the can from which he was pouring,
took fire, enveloping the whole room in a
flame, and exploding produced a scene of
horror and destrUcuon. Two children, a
boy end girl, were so badly burned and oth,
emse injured, that they died, one in about
twenty, and the other in about twenty-sev.
len hours after - the accident occured. The
young man who was pouring the oil into
[ the lamp aged 21 years, was so badly
injured that serious apprehensions are ca
1[ '. terudned for his recovery The whole
family were more or less inured. Mr.
Osborne himself was in the room at the
time, but taking the precaution to lie
down beneath' ,the influence of ,the flameei
made , his . escape. from the room., without'
serious Injury. lie, however; immediiite.'

OEN. PIERCE . AND UEN. SCOTT COMPARED.
The candidates of .tho two parties aro
now' fairly before the country; and we
deem it proper to- present a competitive ,
view' of their respective characterS and
palificatiOnS. As democrats, we do .not
pretend to write without bias; but we menn
• to use nolanguage either orpreise or dis.
prevalent, which facts do not fully sanc•
tion.'
Gen. Pierce springs from the bold• and
hardy race of the granite hills of New
Hampshire. He/possesses all the leading
characteristics of that sturday stock. He
is sagacious, clear-headed, wise, firm, well
educated, thoroughly versed in the history
and politics of the country, and ripened in
judgement by an experience • in public life,
both civil and military, which few mon of
his ago have enjoyed. He is now in the
prime and vigor of manhood, with, every
phyisical requisite to impart energy to his
acts and wisdom to his counsels. His
manners aro as simple as those of a child;
his modesty is proverbial; his ambition, is
chastened and controlled by a feeling of
distaste for public life, and a habitual def.
orence to the opinions of his fellow-cid
zens. 'Hence the confidence they always
reposed in him ; hence, too, his resignation
and refusal of some of the most tempting
offices in the nation, and his unbounded
popularity at home, among those who have
known him from his youth. He is emphat
ically one of the people. He was hbrn and
reared in their midst. He , toiled with
them in spring time and in harvest. -He
served thorn faithfully in both houses of
Congress, and he fought for them gallant
ly on the sanguinary fields of Mexico:—
As a lawyer he is well read, and universal
ly distinguished for the clear, sound, prac
tical judgment which lie never fails to dis
play in the conduct of•his cases. He is
an able'and effective speaker, and few can
rivet the attention of a court and jury with'
more intensity than ho. His military ser
vices are an interesting episode in his litb,
because they prove that he is over ready
to serve his country in the hour of danger.
He was not a soldier by profession; he
had even refused high civil preferment,
and was relying on his own labor;:yet at
the 'call of his country he left his home
and volunteered as a private soldier to fight
the battles of his country. The high of
fice of Attorney General of the United
States could not tempt him Crum Ili* r otir.-
moat, but he promptly entered the ranks
when others, were seeking commissions:—
Without his solicitation, and, against his
wishes, an importaat/command was con
ferred upon him, and he discharged his
duties with zeal, courage, and ability, and
then retired. again to.private iirq, with the
high esteem of his companions-in-armp,
without demanding praise for his patriotic
conduct or arrogating: to himself distin
guished merit for having been faithful to
his country. • _ . • I
Until his nomination for the office of Presi
dent
no one doubted or questioned his bra-_,
very or his ability as a military comman-
der. While in. the army he was above
the reach of censure, and lie returned to
private fife with his escutcheon bright and,
undimmed. But since his nomination to I
an office :which, he never,, sought, a few
skulking traducers, have been carping at
his well-carped fame. Who or what' they
are, no one knows, but . their' calumnies
hav ' e thus far , met with no response but
the contempt of the army and the public,
and they never will. The casualities that ,
befell General Pierce in, two'Of the hard-,
est-fought 'battles in Mexico arc not now
to be mentioned for' the first time.` There
was.not an officer.or private in that army
who was net familiar with : them: /He yea
into one battle from a bed of sickness, ex,
hausted and feeble, against the remit
strances of his. physicians and friends—
for, as Napoleon said on a like occasion,
"the thunders of cannon amuse the
brave"--and overcome : with. fatigue . and
exertion, he sank on the ground. ',ln the
other conflict Kerred to he wap leading

in strict accordance with his own convic

legislation and policy of the federal gov
ornmont to its pristine purity, and scourge
from the temple of freedom the "Money
changers" who now make it the 'theatre
for their iniquitous traffic. He stands be.:
fore the country unpledged to faction—un
bought by aspirants--the tool of no man,
and the slave of no clique of partisans.—
He attained his present position without
solicitation, or supple compliance, or prom
ises of office, and he will bear himself, if
elected, with' equal dignity, independence,
and patriotism. Such must be the course
of Franklin Pierce, or the tenor of his past
life must, be disgraced and shamed by that
of his future. This. cannot be. The man
who teaches the highest station in his
country withouT "bending the pregnant hin
ges of the knee," will not begip to truckle
when the highest object of his ambition is
secured.
General Scott is a native of Virginia,
and military glory has been his exclusive
pursuit since his early manhood. He stu
died law; but, having little taste for that
profession, he abandoned it for the more
congenial career, of arms. In 1805 he
entered the army wtih a captain's cotimis
slon. He soon eistinguished himself in
the war of 1812, and rose rapidly to the
highest posts. .He won proud distinction
in several fierce engagements with the
British veterans on the Canada frontier.—
As commander-in-chief of the army he
exerted an important influence. In the
days of nullification, in the Florida and
Black Hawk wars, and ie the diflbulties

very-momentous character; nut nts - ineis:

The truth is these half-military - half-civil'

ing the exainple of Europe, the chief share
of fame is awarded to the chieftain; but let
us not forget the rank and file—the heroic;
mass or nameless men who, inspired by pa.
triotis m alone, covered their country's arms
with glory.
We do not hunt for spots on the bright
disc of General Scott's reputation, nor Tor
faults his c h aracter; but he possesses
. .
soma prominent traits which ought not to
be overlooked, for they bear directly on
his fitness for the office which his friends ,I
would confer on' him. There are ingredi
ents of vanity and obstinaney in his men
tal organization, which must sometimes
drive good men away from him, - and al
ways expose him to the Malign influence
of worthless flatterers and useless favorites.
Such parasites always cling' around men
like General Scott, who has always been , •
more or less their victim. His'petulant
complaints of "a fire in the rear," his
strange suspicion of a design on the part
of Mr." Polk's administration to destroy him
in Mexico; his anger because ,of Mr.
Trist's mission, and his difficulties with
his generals, sprung from the weakneis
We -have mentioned, and the consequent
influence of evil counsellors,producing'en
vy, jealousy, and unnatural .pride. His ,
political conduct has been constantly un
der the influence of such counsels. HIS
disposition prevents him from entertaining
fixed political opinions. The whig plat.
form is a clumsy and unsatisfactory pere=
dy on that of the democratic patty. and
was adopted on an understandingby
which the whig party became abolitionix-`
ed ; and yet General Scott adopts it, and
permits himself to be presented to the
country as its champion and defender.

General Scott will be !to. the anti-slavery
leader as • "clay in the: hands olthe. pot

firmness on the field of battle: they nre
no sure guarantees of moral' and political
