.'i Xibantyon tqasl rfncorcly forthe cordial and enthnxlo*.
iio cbcora wilhwhicb you bate Just salatcd me. I fl?n
proud, on this occasion, to acknowledge my deep obligations

- I congratulate yon, follow rititengr , upon the nomination
Of franklin I'ioreo am) William It. King, for. Uio two high*
bst oiUces In your gift. Th«» nomination boa proved to bo a
.most fortunate event for tho Democratic party of the ooun
try. It bas produced unanimity every where in our great
and glorious party; onAwbon-firmly united we can stand
ogainst tlte World In arms. - - It has terminated,! trust for
ever,the divisions which existed in our ranks; and which,
batft fow shorfmontha mss portended dire defeat In the
brcsent'l > reaidonti&l oontwfi The North, tho South, tho
Eart and therWc&t, are now*, generous rival.*, and tho only
struggle amongst them la which-ehnU. do tho most to secure
the triumph ©rtoegood .old cauro of Democracy, and of
Fr&nklih Wcrco and William R. King oar chosen standard
hearers. '
5- And why should wo notall be united in support of Frank*
Un Pierce? It is his pecculiar distinction, above all other
nublio men within toy knowledge, that ho. has never had
occasion to take osingio step backwards. What speech, rote
or-sentiment of his whole political career, has been incon
sistent with the purest and strictest principles of Jeffersoni
an Democracy? Our opponents, with {all their vigilance
and icftnrch, have not yet been able to discover a single
one. Ills public character asa Democrat is above all excep
tion. Ineupportlnghim, therefore, we shall do no mure than
sustain in his person, our own dear and cherished prin
ciples. •
; Our candidate,' throughout his life, has proved himself to
bo peculiarly unselfish. Tim offices and honors which other
men soek with so much eagerness have sought him only to
be refused. He has either positively dedinod to acceptor
has resigned tho highest stations which tho Federal Oovem
inent or his own natlvo state ooold bestow upon him.
Indeed, the public character of General Pierce is so inval
uable that It has scarcely bccnscriously assaulted. Our po
litical opponents have, therefore in perfect desperation, been
driven to dafomn his private dxaroctor. At first, they de
nounced him as a drunkard, laid friend of the infamous
Anti-Cotbollc test In the Constitution of Now Hampshire,
and» coward. Inwhathavo these infamous accusations
resulted? They have already recoiled upon their inven
tors The poisoned challco has been returned to their own
Jips.. Nodocentinanof the Whig party will now publicly
venture to repeat tbeso slanders. •
Frank Pierre u coward! That man * coward, who, when
hKcountry was Involved In a foreign war, abandoned a lu
erotivo andhonorebfo profession and olltbe sweets and com
forts of domestic lifo dn his own happy fomliy, to bceomo a
private volunteer soldier In the ranks > Dow preposterous!
And why a coward? .
' According lo the testimony of General Scott himself; he
was in such a sick, wounded and enfcehlcd condition that he
was M just able to beep his saddle I n Yet his own gallant
Spirit impelled him to lead his brigade lute tho bloody battle !
of Cberatraaco. But his exhausted physical nature was not
stroug enough to sustain the brave eotil which animated it,;
and ho sank tosenalblo on the fidd in front of his Brigade.
Was this evidence of cowardice? These circumstances so far
from being an impeachment of his bourage, proTsconcluslvo
ly that ho posacreoa that high quality, In an uncommon de
gree- Almost any oilier man, nay, almotbony other brave
man, in his weak'and disabled condition, would bare re- 1
mained in his tent; but the prompting* of bis gallant and ,
patriotic spirit impelled him te rush. Into the midst of the ;
battle. To what lengths will not party rancor and malignity >
proceed when SuchlfighevidcneesQflndomitablocourageare |
construed lutoproofe of cowardho? J{ow dificrcnt was Gen. ;
Scott's opinion from that of the reVHera of Franklin Pierce! j
It was on thl< Tory occasion Uuit he conferred upon him the i
proud title of “the gallant Brigadier General Rcrcc. n ;
The cordial txnion of the Democratic party throughout the
Country presents a sure presage of approaching victory. -Even
dor political opponents admit that we are in the majority
When thoroughly united. Aud I wntaro now to predict,
that whether with, or without tho vote of Pennsylvania,
Franklin Pierce and Milliam.Tß. King, should their lives
be spared* win as certainly bo- ducted President and
Vicu President of the United States pn tho first Tues
day of November n<?xt,as that tho biassed sup shall arise
Onabat auspicious day. We fool the inspiration of victory !
from the infallible indications of ■ public opinion throughout i
our sbterStatcs. *'';
t-lt-inry ha achieved without the TOlco Or thevote i
Af No President has ever yet been elected
without her vote. Shall this historical truth be reversed,
ami shall Pierce and King bo etected in Novcmbur, despite
thereto Of the good old Keystone! God bless her. No—©ov
er, never, absU tho Democracy of our great and glorious State
be subjected to this disgrace.
And yet, strange to say, tho whig* at Washington and tho
Whigs throughout every State of the Union claim the vote of
Pennsylvania v jtb tho utmost apparent confidence. To so*
euro bar vote was one of tho main inducements for the nom
ination of Genera) jfcott over thu brad of Billiard Fillmore.
Is thcro one unprejudiced citizen of opr party In tho United
States, wjio caa lay Ids hand upon, his heart aaddodore that
he believes General Scott would moke an good aud as safc a
President ffivMr- FUlmore? ho, fellow citizens, all of us must
concur in opinion with Mr. Clay, that Fillmore had superior
Claims and qualification* to those.of Scott for tho highest
civil station,- Availability, and availability alone, produced
tho nomination of Scott.
< The whigs well knew that the Democrats of the Keystone
were in the majority. What must then bo done to socure
her vote?- Pennsylvania Democrats must be seduced from ]
, their party allegiance—they must bo induced to abandon the i
political alters at whidh they have so long worshipped—they i
must be persuaded to renounce the principles of Jefferson i
gwH of Jackson, by tho nomination of a military hero; and i
this hero, too, a most bitter and uncompromising whte. Gen.
Boott-ta none of vour half war whig*—he is not Uke General |
Taylor, a whig. f>qt-«ot an ultra whig. He goes tho whole. |
1j there a single whig doctrine, or a 6ingl» whig principle,
however odious to the Democracy.*© which hols notdovoted,
which be has not announced and taught under his own
frnn.i? , if there bo, I hnvo never beard it mentioned... hay,
more, odious doctrines are with him not merely strong
ooinlons, but tboy are absolute convictions, rules offeltb aud
of practice- Tho Bank of the United States, the Bankrupt
Law- the distribution of tho proceeds of tho public lands
among the States, the abolishment of the veto power from
the Constitution; la short, all tho whig measures against
which the Democracy of the country have always waged tn
; war—are bo many articles of General Scott's political
creed. When asked, in October, 18*1, whether, “if nomina
ted a* o Candidate for tho Presidency, would yon accept the
nomination?'’ After expressing his strong opprobationof
all tho whig measures tp wjilch 1 kayo just referred, as well
'as others of aalmilar answers i—“ I beg leave
respectfully to reply—Yos; provided: that I bp not TOulred
to renounce any- prlncjplos professed above, My principles
are convictions.” _
I wUlddhim the justice to declare that bo has never yet
recanted or renounced any ono of these principles, They nro
/still convictions with him; ondyet-tho Democracy of Penn
svlv&da are asked to recant and renounce tbclr own most
' solemn aCd deliberate convictions, and vote Cor a candidate
•for the Presidency, merely on account of his military fame,
who if elected, would exert the power and rafiucnco of his
administration to subvert and to destroy all tho essential
principles which bind us together os members of tho great
and glorious Democratic party of tbaUnion. Isnotthobare
imputation, muctemore the thoDeroo-
of pennsyhaala will renounce birthright for such
a mlasrablo mesabf pottego the highest induHwhJcft Mo be
offered to them? The whig*, in effort soy to yonwo know
yon are Democrato-«yc,know you are tn the majority { but
yet wn Wievo you will renoUnco the political foith of your
fkthere, that yon may shout, hosanna* to ft successful Oener
a), and bow down before ttift image of military glory which
we have carcnptlvatlDgyonr senses.
: Thank Heaven! thus for, at tepst Ihpse, pteocafos of
avoUabmty havo been disappointed. The. soup socle*;
ties and the fuss and feather clubs have ynt produced but
little Impression on the public mind. They have foiled even
to raise enthusiastic shouts among the Whigs, owb Ipm to
make any opostates from the Democratic ranks.
What a subject It Is for felieitotionln every patriotic heart,
• teat tha days have passod away, I trust forever, when mere
military «arvlces, however distinguished, shall bp a passport
to the chief civß magistracy of tho country 1
I wotild lay (town this this broad and strong proposition
which ought In oil future tim* to hp held sacred as an or

Tnuoe fi>r oor descendants-
The fathers of the Republic were deeply olive to thebe great
truths. They wore 'warned by the experience of past times,
that liberty is Jlcspcrfahfrulfcand can only bo preserved by
watchful jealousy. Hence In all their constitutions of gov
ernment, and In aU their political writings, we find them.
Inculcating In Uio most solomn mimner, a jealousy<>f stand
ing armies and their haulers, and a strict subordination of
■ the military to tlio civil power. . Our own Stale.fconptiiutlon
declares, in emphatic language, that‘‘tlie .military shall, in
aU cases and- nr ail times,- l*r in strict subordination to tho
civil power- ’ But oven if there were no danger to our liber*.
Ucs from such a precedent the habit $f strict obedience and
absolute command acquired by the professional soldier
throughout a long Ufa, almost necessarily, disqualifies him:
far the admininlstrotion of our Democratic Jtepuhllcan Gov
ernment, civil goTemmout is not a mere machine, such as
a regular army. In conducting lb allowance must be made
fi>r that lovo of liberty and spirit, of independence wlricb
characterize our people. Such allowances can never.be
made,— authority can never be tempted with moderation
flU d discretion, by a professional Boldleiywho has been ac
customed to hare his military orders obeyed .with the uner
ring certainty of despotic power. ■■ y
Again;—whatfaloleffects would, itnai.hava on thodls
clplino tmd efficiency of the nrmy to hare aspirants ibr^tho;
Presidency among Its principal officers. How numy jnlUta
ry cliques would ho -foundhow -much Intrlgulhg- and' 1
electioneering would exist In a body which ought': to : bo a
unit, and have no other ohlocMn view than to obey the law
ful commands of the President and to protect and defend the
country. If all the political follies oi General .Scott’s Ufa
were Investigated, and lbc.sc are not few, J venture to say
that nearly the whole of them have resulted from tbo long
continued aspirations far the Presidency. At last, ho has ob
tained the whig nomination. Tbo military power has defeat
ed htsown constitutional Commander in chief, and trampled
: over tho civil power. Tho Constitution declared! that, •* tbo
President shall bo Commander lu chief of the Army nnd
havy of tho Called btates bat the subordinate, lho actual
commander of the army, has supplanted hia superior. What
. a spectableis this; and how many serious reflections might
It Inspire I .In times of war anil ofdauger. what falso con
-1 4equencos-n>lghtresult to tho oountryfrom tho fact, thattho
.President and the commanding''General of the Army, are
rjval and hostllo candidates far the Presidency: But I shall
not pursue Gils train of remark. It is myjpost serious
• conviction, that General Scott would have stood far higher
both before the present generation anil poKtority, had he
• never been a candidate for the Presidency. Tho office which
he now holds, and deservedly holds, ought tosatbfy thoam
■ bltlon of any man. This the American people will detcrv
i mine by a triumphant majority on tho first Tuesday of
-.= November next. This will prove to be oue of the most •for
tunate events in our history,—auspicious at tho present
i time, and still more auspicious for futore-geoaratlonx. It
. ‘ "will establish a precedent, which will, I trust, prevent fature
i. commanders In chief, uftho American Army, from becoming
«»awlMafcf fnr the Proalitppttwl
Again;—To make the army, a hot bod for-Prosidentiah

Presidency and for other high dvfi The. -American
people are sufficiently prone towarwithaut onyauch stim

l shall now proceed to discuss more mlnntely the dril
' qualifications of General Scott for the Presidency.’:' .1 t;is.
these which immediately and deeply concern
people and and not his military glory. For be ifcfromme,'
hoTTcrer, to depredate his military merits. As on American
citizen, lam proud of them. They wfll ever constitute a;
brilliant page in the historical glory of our country. The
triumphant march of the brave army under his command,
from vera Crus to the dty of Mexico, will ho over mentor*-'
ble In our annals. And yet he can never bo esteemed-the
prindpal horo of tbo Mexican war. This distinction justly,
belongs to Genera) Taylor. It was his army which at pklo
Alto, Besses do la Palma, and Mouterer, first broke the
spirit of tho Mexican troops; and the crowning victory iof:
Bueno Vista completely disorganized the Mexican -army-:
There Santa Anno, with 20,006 men. the largest,: the tost i
and tho bravest army which, Mebdeo has ever seat intb thc i

To tho everlasting glory of our volunteer tuiliUa, this great,
this glorious victory, was ochiorcd by them, agisted by only
four nundrod and fifty three regulars. The. Mexican tinny

detractfrom the glory Jojustly due to Scott’s gallant army.,
and Its distinguished commander In tho laities' which pre
ceded their triumphant entry into the capital uf Mexico.
But I repeat, my present purpose with General

as a mflltary commander.
The son presents dark spots upon its desk.: and the great
est men who have ever lived, with the exception of our owtr

jealous of rivals; whilst tho Presidency, above all other stiw

"breast of any other mortal man? Tho admirable' and un-;
answerable letter of Governor Marty, of April 21* 1848, In
reply to his complaints, triumphantly vindicates the admin
istration of Mr. Polk against ail there extraordinary charges.
Let any carefaHr nmi dispassionately read that letter,
andsav, if ho can, that Gou. Scott, In seif-control, temper
and disposition, is fit to bcoaxno the successor of Get!. Wash

• Tbo world knows, every body who has approschod him
knows, that-Gen. Scott is rain glorious to an cxrcxstve <lo
erw. Indeed, hU vanity would be strikingly ridiculous,
- piyi he not pcrfbrmed so many distingnWicd military ser
vices, as almost to Justify boasting. This, however, is ap
amiable weakness; and whilst it dous not disqualify him
from perfbrmiuft the duties »f I'rcridwit. this of itself ren
ders it morally impassible tlint bo should over reach that
station- Modesty combined with tmbicnt merit always se
cures popular Applause; but the roan who becomes tho
trumpeter of fcla ovm exploit?, nn njattcr bow high his de
serts may be, can never become an object of popular enthu
siasm and affection, lien. Scott’s character, in tms respect,
is perfectly understood by tho instinctive good senso of the
AmnriMn people. “Puss and Feathers l ” a volumo cullUl
not more accurately portray the vanity of his character than
this soubriquet by wlilcb ho is universally known. His
Mends affect to-glory In this title, but with all their effort*
they can never render it popular. Napoleon was endeared
to his army by the designation of H the little Corporal; n
Gen- Jackron, by that of “ Old Hickory j ” and Gen. Taylor
was “ Koogh and Heady; ” but what shall we say to “Fuss
and FeathersT” Was suchasonbuquoiercr bestowed upon
ft Gcnpral who enjoyed U)e warm affections of his army ? It
raises no shout,—lt awahep* po sympathy,—4 excites no
enthusiasm, —|t fells dead upon the heart of tho fntclllgciit
masses.

cuss his feroous political letters. In these ho has written
his own political history. *• Oil I that mine enemy would
