We are gratified to knov that the nomination of this gentleman, has given general satisfaction to the Democracy of the third district. Mr. Dunham, has shown himself a faithful representat ive. His course in Congress has been snch as to reflect credit on the State. He has always opposed a general system of internal improvements by the government. These opinions be has on all occasions openly avowed on the stump. No one has been deceived by bis votes. This was the rallying cry of his opponents in the last contest, but he tri. uraphed over all opposition by an increased majority. Those who desire to see an extravagant and wastful system ofi nternal improvements adopted, by which millions of the people's money will be squandered on local works, had better bring out their candidate. They have noth ing to expect from Cyrcs L- Dunham. Democrats of the third District, if you desire to elect Frank. Pierce, send Dunham toCongress to sustain his administration. If Scott is to be elected then you want him there- to watch the Oalpbins.

O" A Whig orator at the late Whig meeting at Niagara, wishing to say that "those who live in glasshouses should'nt throw stone,'' made use of the following language. He evidently supposed it would not do to speak to his audience in the vulgar tongue. " Pugnacious individuals who reside in crystalline domicils should not perpetrate the indecorum of administering to the amusement of themselves and tho canaille who appropinquate them in moral deformity, by projecting fragments of granite towards those who j, ambulate in th ir vicinage, as such presumptuous viciosity, so far from being paradigmatized, is apt to induce sirailitudinary pntition."

.Gen. v ott and Naturalization. The following extract from Gen. Scott's letter of 29th ef May, 1848, should be kept constan .lv before the peopie, as it presents his reil views on the subject of the Naturalization laws, so much misrepresented by those who desire his defeat : "Cebtainly it would bb impossible roa me to BECOMMKND OR SUPPORT AWT MEASOBE INTENDED TO KXC LI' DE THEM (THE ADOPTED CITIZENS) MOM A JTTJT AND FÜLL PARTICIPATION IN ALL CIVIL AND POLITICAL BIGHTS NOW SECUBZD TO THEM BY OCB BKFCBLtCAN laws and institctions." Indiana Journal We never use hard words, therefore will say nothing about forgery; but we do say that :he above is a wilful perversion of Gen. Scott's letter to W. E. Robinson, for the purpose of deceiving the people. The word "adopted" is not in the original. Gen. Scott uses the terra "Naturalized citizens."

From the Nashville Union of the I3th nit Letter from en. Pillow. HIS OPINION OF FRANKLIN PIERCE. Columbia, Ttsn., July 8, 1852. As everything touching the character of Gen. Pieroe, as well as the opinion of oar public men, now interests he public, I have thought it not improper to give you, lor publication, an extract of a private letter of the late Ex-Prfsident Polk, written to myself, on the 18th day of May, 1647, and delivered to me in the city of Puebia, Mexico. The extract is as follows, viz: ' Your two Brigadier-Generals, Pierce and Cadwallader, who will be under your immediate command . are noble men. Gen. Pierce is now the first man in New England. He is a man of fine talents. He is my personal friend, and you may fully confide in him. He was wi'h me in the House of Representatives Cor several years, and was afterwards io the Senate. Gen.

Wright haS been pursuing and advocating that policy which prevents the development of our mineral wealth, depresses the agricultural interests by destroying home markets, and retards the progress of all manufacturing interests. G v. Wright preaches well on State priJe. but his practice cannot be too severely condemned. But there was another object he had in view in thus dwelling unon State
pride; he wished to divert attention from that series of I blunder and that destructive policy of the Democratio party whhh destroyed the best currency the United '
States over possessed ; which brought disaster and ruin ' Congress upon our country in 1836-7: which flooded our oonntrv

I deem it necetsary to add a single remark to the paragraph so fullv expressive of the opinion of the late distinguished Ex-Piesident of the nation, except for the very unjust, illiberal, and false reflections upon the conduct of Gen. Pierce, while an oflicer of the army ic Mexico, by certain eastern presses, and by Senator Jones and Mr. Netherlend. of Tennessee. In the operations of the army in the valley of Mexico, that Gen. Pierce fully sustained the exalted opinion of Ex-President Polk, will be seen by reference to the reports of Major-Genernls Scott and Worth, and those of my own. These despatches were all prepared with a personal knowledge of the gallant bearing of Gen. Pierce, and at a time and under circumstances exempting those officers from any possible motive to over-esti-mate the importance of bis services or the character of bis conduct. The repot ts of the first and last of these i. dicers agree in the statement of fact, that General Pierce was severely injured by the fall of bis horse on the iock of the Pedriga), while gallantly leading his brigade in the battle of Contreras. They also bear full testimony to the fact, that though so badly injured, he might have retired) to the hopitai as disabled for duty, and "though barely able to keep his saddle," yet he remained upon duty, and led his gallant brigade into the bloody battle of Churnbusco, and continued in its command until overcome by exhaustion and pain, he fainted, fell trom his borse, and was borne from the field. When it is know to the country that the whole army, including Gen. Pierce, had been upon duty from early on the morning of the 19th till late in the day on t he 20th of August, without refreshments or repose, and that Gen. Pierce was so badly injured by the fall of his horse that he lay upon the field and in the midst of the Pedrigal all night, and that next day he was "barely able to keep his saddle," br fore this long and bloody battle commenced, after a long and bot pursuit of tbeenemy ; when these fscts are known to the country as they are to those who shared in the glories and suffeiing ol that field, I am persuaded that no one will either leel or express surprise that Gen. Pierce's physical strength overcome with long-continued suffering, pain, and exhaustion, should have given way, and that he should have fainted and fallen from bis horse. But it s presuming a great deal to suppose that those who bcre him from the field shoal not have known the difference between an oflicer wbjM4 physical strength was actually so oventaskd, an', j a state of total helplessness and unconsciousness, 0Q9 who bad. from timidity, affected this condition . But it is impossible for an intelligent peop)-6 to belieVfi that had an officer of Gen. Pierce's rank r.d command so acted, bis immediate division commar der and Gen Scott himself, and Generals Worth and Shields the former of these his associate on the fild, the latter commanding him in that part of aaatJ ail have cou. ourredin making out false report, to the novei nment thus dishonoring themselves to screen Trom merited condemnation and disgrace an officer who had bnsely and cowardly shrunk from duty.
