Fbasklin Pierg. " - LETTEIl FROM . Washington, August 5, IS52- It is my good fortune to be personally acquainted with both the distinguished citizens whose names have been presented by their respective parties as candidates for the .highest office in the gift of the American people. Gen. Winfield Scott is the candidate of the Whig party : For him I entertain the highest personal re gard and esteem. 1 admire him as much as I do afiy man living for his great mili tary talents, and I consider hint entitled to the gratitude of his country for his glorious military achievements. Hut Gen. Scott is no democrat. His political con victions are diflerent from mine. He is (rue to his convictions; and for this he has my respect. I mean to be true to mine ; and such is my knowledge of his character that I knoiv this will not lesser, me in his estimation. If the principles of the Democratic party are those that ought to prevail in the conduct of this government, then Gen. Scott himself would admit. w ith the frankness of a true soldier, that he is not the man to represent these prin ciples 'as Chief Magistrate of this republic, lie tills as it may however, I stand where I have always sluod in the ranks of the democracy. Gen. Frank Tierce is the candidate of the democratic party. The sterling quali ties of his character make him worthy of this distinction. Me is upright and hono rable in all the relations of life, and peculiarly calculated to command th re spect of and confidence of his fellow citizens.- Lv.ke Andrew Jackson Vie has been a lawyer, statesman, and soldier; and if it should be the good fortune of this na tion lo have .him for its.nextCJuefVlais trate, lie will tike Jackson, conduct the attairs 01 me government upon tne princi ples 01 rigid economy and pupular liberty. His course as a public man, in the coun cils of bis native State, was always democratic, fearless, and independent. He showed himself, on all questions and on ail occasions, an able and enlightened statesman. One of the noblest efforts'' of his life was in opposition to that odious feature in the constitution of New Hamp shirethat reproach upon the character tf the Granite State, which stigmatizes and disqualifies American citizens on ac count ot their religious opinions. In the face of unworthy prejudices, Franklin Pierce battled, in a true catholic snirit. for universal freedom of conscience, and denounced the proscription of that ancient faith, which is still the faith of three lourths of the Christian world. For this act of justice and moral courage, he is entitled to the sincere gratitude of every American citizen who condemns religious proscription, and reveres religious liberty. His career in the councils of the nation was in perfect harmony with his public course in his native State. Both in the House of Representatives and Senate of the United States, he was the model of an enlightened democratic statesman. The dignified simplicity of his character made him averse to ostentation and display; but his talents arid energy made him a power ful advocate of all great measures fr the advancement of the pu!Iic service and the welfare of the country. He entered Congress in 1833, and resigned his seat in the Senate in 1842. He declined an appointment as Senator of the United States iu 184J. He declined a place in President Polk's cabinet in 18-lG, and the nomination for Governor of his State in 1848. And yet this modest, unambitious' citizen who declined all these distinguish ed honors, and who retired to private life in the very flower of manhood, shouldered the revolutionary muskel of his father, and entered the military ranks as a private soldier on the breaking out of war between his country and Mexico: There is a moral grandeur in this portion of the life of Franklin Pierce which reminds one of the early and heroic age of this Republic. President Polk, who was well acquaint ed with his intrinsic worth, having served with him in Congress, raised him from the ranks by appointing him first colonel and then brigadier general in the army of the U. States. He landed with his brigade at Vera Cruz in June, 1647; marched from there to Poebla. where he joined the head quarters of the army on the 6th of August. On this march, which was very severe on fresh levies, his brigade was constantly harassed and attacked by large parties of guerilla. It vvas the universal opinion amongst military men in Puebla at that time, that General Pierce conducted the march with uncommon ability, and exhibit ed remarkable skill and m courage a his conflicts with the enemy. Soon after his arrival, he entered the valley o Mexico. The battle of Contre ras opened the campaign ia that valley, fflV'4Wh Ol AOJtttst-. r PltVce'9 brin.t- I'a ery active part in that cngagementV He Mmself commanded in; person do that occasion, apt! behaved whh aknowlJgeiI galjantrj janttliough very, severely in- jctpby,a-fal I from hj horseor 4 rather bj JLfies fall of hia horse he ' continued in t?t'mniand' in. the midst of llie fire "Until late In the night; when that action unni- nalfd-'i -; ' ' ' s . ; : - Me battle c;of.'Churubusco,: otie ' of the blffsdiest battles of the war wa fought the npvi iljo' in ik; nj,j...a;nnir..,. ....j.i Qpn. Scott to take command oftpierce's Mththis force to fall on the euemv a rear and cut off' his retreat. Pierce and myself with our united commands, proceeded as rapidly as the nature of the ground would permit to carry this order into faithful ex ecution. Pierce was suffering dreadfully at thif time' from the injury of the preced ing dy, and, as Gen. Scott hirnself-says in his1 report, was only just able to keep the saddle." As we approached theen emy?s position, directly under his fire, we encountered a deep ditch, or rather, a deep narrow, slimy canal, which had been previ ously used for the purpose of irrigation. It vvasnotime to hesitate; so we both plung ed in. The horse I happened -to ride that dayj was a light, active Mexican horse. Thii circumstance operated in my favor, and enabled me to extricate myself and horse after considerable difficulty. Pierce on the contrary, waS mounted on a large, heavy American horse, and man and horse both sank down and rolled over in the ditch There I was compelled to leave him; for being in charge of the whole command, I had not a single moment to spare, and the manner in which a few moments are em ployed on such an occasion may determine tiie fortune of a field and the fate of an army. After struggling there I cannot say how long, he extricated himself from his horse, and hurried on foot to join his com maud, then closely engaged in a desperate con test with the enemy; and there he remain ed till, overcome by suffering and exhaus tion, he sank on the ground, and was car ried all but lifeless trom the Held. This is a true statement of facts in relation to Gen. Pierce at Churubusco; ant! this state ment I would have made at San Augustin, four days after the battle, when I made my clicial report; but the brigade havinir re- lirreiflts" rti vision" tm medial ety "a fie r'" the action, the olhcers, instead ot reporting to me who commanded them in battle, made their report to their division commander; and as his report of an action, which he had no opportunity to witness cannot be very circumstantial, I think it due to mil itary justice to make this statement ;(t this time, when my silence might be liabjV to misconstruction. ...Whoever takes the trou ble to read my report of this engagement dated at San Auguslin, Mexico, August 24th, 1847, will find the following para graph: "Pierce's brigade, under my command in this action, lost a considerable number in killed and wounded; amongst the latter vvas the gallant Col. Morgan, of the 15th. This command having rejoined its division, 1 have vet received no official report of its loss." As I never received this report, ofcourse I could make no official statement on the subject. As my only object in introducing this matter is to plate the military conduct of General Pierce, while under my com mand, in its true light before the public, I do not deem it neccessary to follow him through the rest of the campaign, where that conduct has never been the subject of injurious criticism. Permit me to say, in wconclusion, that in reference to General Pierce's courage and conduct in Mexico, 1 only do for him what I would be ready to do for any other gallant officer with whom 1 had the honor to serve that is, declare the truth in vindication of his military re putation. 1 regret the unexpected length of this letter, but the importance of the subject must constitute my apology. f have the honor to be, gentlemen, your obedient servant, JAS.

C, have taken measures to secure a patent lor a useful improvement in a machine for sawing fel loes and other articles forming parts of cir cles. The nature of the improvement con sists in providing a revolving table on which the plank or stuff" out of which the felloes are to be made is placed; this table is so arranged as to have different centres, either of which may be employed as desir ed, so that the felloes may be cut to form parts of circles of different diameters ac cording to the centres on which the stuff is placed. The saw sash is of ordinary construction, ami two saw s are secured at one end of it. and made adjustible, so as to cut felloes of different widths. There U a stationary table adjoining lo the movable one, on which the plank partially rests, while the saws are cutting, to keep the stuff firm and steady under the saws. fific American. As KxcELtEST Life Puksi-.iiveh. A life preserver of a novel construction, has been placed in the rotunda of the Ex change, by James McGat rah, the inventor. It is a new application of a well known principle, by which every settee and chair in use on board of a steamboat will serve as life preservers, in case of accident. A settee is exhibited, having a tin air tight vessel securely fastened beneath the seat, the legs of the settee protecting it from damage; and when thrown into the water its buoyancy will sustain from six to eiuht persons. The advantage of this plan is that these air vessels can be applied with but little expense, to the settees or chairs, without disfiguring them. Had the Henry Clav been furnished with such life preservers," the sad loss of life would have been avoided. a every passenger would have had at hand a means tcisustain him self in the water. Phila.
