On that point I have this Statement to make : I arrived in Wash ington, upon the invitatiou of President Fill more to the Navy Department, on the l..-t day of July, Witt. On that day the " om nibus bill, s-o called, reported by Mr. Clay from the Committee of thirteen, was reject er, aud the whole subject of dispute was thrown open for agitation anew. I found ion. Seott acting as Secretary of War, in which situation ho continued for several weeks ; and happening to take lodgings at the same hotel, I was in daily and intimate iiitcrooursc with him from that time until the consummation of the com promise by the passage ol its various provisions, in sepa rate bills.

Here are 'nice witnesses, (and their num ber might be multiplied) who testify to the soundness of Gen. Scolt's views with regard to the compromise measures, including the l ugitivc Mave Law. J his testimony is ot :i character which shows upon ,ts very lace private hi-torv. This is ecrtainlv a n-ble i,.i i .i ii .-. - that these men spake as they were moved by the truth in this matter. I'ntil, there fire, Dr. Pierce or th" "Standard " shall invalidate this testimony, by showing, cith er, that it is un founded injci't, or that the witnesses themselves were either im; impe llent, or dcsiuinii men, it must stand as au thority that will forever exculpate Gen. Seott from the charge of " entering "' in any sense whatever; and put the brand of I unmitigated condemnation upon the ni.-inu-j tion that either Gen. Scott himself, or the Convention by which he was nominated was in any degree "suspicious.'' lie who can believe such an insinuation, must sure ly be a voliinttir in faith. Hut, Mr Editor, however conclusive this may be considered, it may nevertheless be asserted, that Gen. Seott s view may have been different subsequent to the period here alluded to ; (specially, during the session of the Convention. To this 1 reply, V. That his sentiment are identical with the preceding, during the Session of the Convention in Pialtimorc in June last. There is no evidence, that during the session .if the Convention, he ever uttered a word adverse to the sentiments attributed to him by the previous testimony. In the absence, therefore, of such a lveist testimo ny, 1 might re-t my cause so far as Dr. Fierce and the " Standard " are concerned. 15-.it, I have testimony, that during the ses sion of the Convention, and alter the AVhig Platform, as now- existing, was adopted, and be w as a-.-ured of its doctrines; that he expressed the very same seiirimcnts that hi had expressed, and sustainc by his prev i- oils coiniuct.

From the investigation pursued tlm- far, it appears clear to luy mind, that my friend, Dr. Fierce was laboring under a liii.-taken apprehension, with regard to the political opinions of Gen.
