_,ignoring the principles of public policy
for' which they have heretofore'contended,

There is no need that we should correct
the misrepresentations of the whig press
in yespect to the character and qualiden,
tionsofGeneral Scott and General Pierce,
by giving a just, estimate of the merits of
the two men. The country will ~do this.
No excess of extravagant and unmerited
eulogy can convince the American people
that, General, Scott is anything more• than
a competent and successful.soldier, and no
amount Of-misreprosentation can disguise
the radipal end_ prominent defec,ts of his
character. Neither •is . it within the power
abbe defamer to depreciate those solid
and, substantial qualities, that stern integ
rityc ,Biat ,keen ,sagacity, that profound
wisdorh, that resolute courage, 'that , cauti• '
sap. prudence, and that ardent patriotism,
utwhich the : character of Genersil,Pierce
isand has ever been the brilliant illustre

they have been ,before the people for .the

Cunha Ertleslastical Trial
'The Pittsburg Journal has' the foll Owing
statement respecting a,very Singular trial
before the elders of a Presbyterian Church
in
. Beaver county, which has, just been
concluded :
riNVO, farmers, memberseb of the 'same
church; aurrendered ' portions 'of their
landifor the constrtiation of the' Ohio und
Pennsylvania Railmrtd...Mr.:l. gave the
right of way. fqr nething, and also grounds
for a station which was needed on his
farm. • 132 received five 'theusand dollars
damages, and other considerations. 'A.
went into the business of selling town lots
around the station, and is gradually ma
king money, B. having received hisdarn
ages "in a pile," tiller some time got tired
of his bargain and entered suit against the
Railroad Company for,,having defrauded
him, and .succeeded in working himself
into a most hearty hatred of rails, [octane
lives and everythiw , p connected therewith;
and when he saw that A. was pleased
. with
the Railroad and was likely to make me,
ney out, of the improvement, included him
in his displeasure.
The suit against the Railroad has not
progressed very,rtipidly, and in the mean
time, Mr. B. thought there was a chance
of punishing Mr. A. and bringing the Rail
road into disgrace, at a single stroke; so
he accused his neighbor and fellow-mem
ber,,before the cliurch„ofgrossly immoral
conduct. A trial Was granted, and before
Ilte asSembled.elders,,Mr..B. solemnly ac
eased Mr, A. of owning stock in a; railroad
tharpractiscd and encouraged immorality;
the Ohio and PenrisylvikMA Railroad hav
ing, as he alleged, . broken the Sabbath by
running cars, and ,making repeirs.; : an,
having injured the cause of temperance by
carrying barrels of whiskey as freight•l
It was admitted that the cars had run
on Sunday when the Saturday night train
unavoidably fell behind,time; that barrels
of whiskey might have, been. ; shipped,. on,
the freight train, and lastly, Mr. A.
wias 4 stockholder;—then we neard*inrcely
add the elders most solemnly acquitted
Mr. A...0f the charge against him;
But Mr. 13. will not permit the purity of
the church to be.sullied in this manner.—
Re intends .to appeal to the Synod which
will amemble, in this 'city next month, and,
after that will, no doubt, curry the case AP'

A TENNESSEE WHIG'S OPINION.
The Nashville American of the 11th

ry, a leading olig of that place, in which
the writer says that ho has "nerver in his
life voted for but one degnocrat,and that
was for Andrew Ewing, on personal
grounds. Ile luta been a whig always.—
He was a whig when ,it was an easy mat
ter Pr him to count his associates in his
county--when be could number less 4ssp
ciutcs than ho can now count whigs wbo
will not vote for Scott. He was for Clay
when the Nashville Banner was for Jack
son."
And yet ho goes on to say,, "I will not
Vote for Scott. With all my devotion to
Mr. 014 y. were hepow living and in his
prime, I would not vote for him if 'brought

"WATCHMAN, WHAT' 01? THE NUT?"
We assure the Derdoeracy "of our coun-
ty that they nom entered on the eve of an
election with,' brighter,
.prospeets of a tri
umphant victory. The Democracy: are
every where active and vigilant, and it on
ly remains for them :to reach forth-and
grasp the victory now offered.' Let every
Demme ratio Voter go to the polls, theretore,
and cast his vote for the candidates pledg
ed to carry' out your principles. This is
the road to victory—and let every demo
crat remember that it is the only road.
But let us see "what the signs of promise
are 1" Last fall, it . will be remembered, the
Democrats carried tho State against the
strongest whip in the State, and the 'man
who having all the offices, both State and
national to aid him, was thought to be
strong enough to carry any Presidential
candidate the whigs might nominate. But
notwithstanding these great odds, he was
defeated by many . thousands. Then the
whigs were cordiallY united, and inspired
by a . conficleot hepe.of. vicTory. Now the
Democrats have the advantage of the State
.ffices—they are even better and more
harmoniously united than they We re then
there is -no disaffeetioa in the north—the
contest now is not a doubtful one—but . we
know our strength, and know that that
strength is all suflicient. Then the whigs
pretended to be contending for great prin
ciples—now the cry is, that :here is no
Principles at stake, and their manner of
canvassing the election most resembles a
gigantic system of mart worship. They
are now broken, dispirited, and without
'hope. Their masses are lulu:warm, if not
cold end careless. Whilst on 'the other
hand, the Democracy are every where
alive, active 'and vigilant,!and full of hope.
They can with compa i ratively !idle effort
' bring the masses logether in crowds much
I larger than Were ever known before.
This muChloi our own State. In a na
tional point of view, the signs of the times
are still more promising.
'Of the thirty-one States composing the
Union, but live are now presided over by
Whig Governors—of which New York,
certain for Pierce, is one. Taking, the
aggregate vote in all the 'States at the(ast
clef tions held in each, and it gives a De?n
ocratic • majority over the whigs of over !
one hundred thousand, and of some forty
thousand over whigs, free-soilers, aboli
tionists and all other factions combined.
And in the most recent elections held these
tnnjorities have been increased the most—
which is conclusive evidence that the spirit
of man.worship, from which they expect
ed so much, has availed them nothing.
But they aro fatally divided in sentiment
as well as in action. In the South, the
whigs go fox Scott for the sakeefthej*zt
,
form. In the north they go for the plat
form for the sake of Scott. Hence sus
picions, and doubts and misgivings arise,
while many of their best men in both ice
'tions have deserted thOk ranks and are en
listed on the side of,tbo Wmocracy. This

JUDGE WOODWARD.—The following are
the remarks df Judge WOOD*M2D in the
Reform Convention, to which he refers in
the letter we published last week. Is it
likely that ho would have made such a
.
`denial then, and in Mat pla'ce, if he had
I I used the language attributed to him by the
infamous Reporter of that Convention—
himself an unnaturalized Englishman 7 1
By no means—and this, of itself, shOuld
satisfy every man who desires ito be guided '
by reason and common honesty, that fed
eralism will stop at no act, however reck
less and wicked, in order to injure this
distinguished Democrat.
Wo freely admit, ;that, believing Judge
Wood ward to be the author of the senti
,
ments attributed to him,' no naturalized
citizen could or should vote for,him. But
here they, have the most satisfhctory evi
dence that the chargé is false—a base-and
wicked slander—and if they now vote
,
against him on that, account, they prke
themselves the victims of fraud andile- 1

We should like to hear of ihe demoemt

to Stand alone as the only man who ever
lived in this country that accepted a nom=

one-half of the States, and that paid him
self out of the national treasury for the

General' Washington resigned his posi
tion as Comrahnder-in-chief, of the army
before ho accepted the presidency, and
another soldier was appointed to the place
he had' filled,
General Jacksoieivas not at the bead of
the army when he Was elected.
General Harrison hadlprig resigned his
position in the army. before he, was elected
to the presidency. '' .
` Henry Clay even resigned his place in
the Senate of the Palled States, when, in
1844, he became the ttihi eandidr%-t:r
President.
General Cass resigned his place in the
Senate of the' United. States as soon ache
was nominated for the `presidency by the
democratic party.

In violent and repulsive contrast to, tilt
these examples, Ge.n Scott hold's Ori to his
commission as 'Commander-in•chief 'of the
American army, uses its'pet.rdnage. as it
may be used, travels about. the Country in
the hands of 'abolition agitators and parti
san slanderers, and pays himself out of
the treasury at the rate of ei g hteen dollars
a day. Shades of Washington, Adams,
Jefferson Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Har

upon the examples you' preSehted to the
