1t is not little remarkable that in the month Of
July, in the year Of Lord, one thousand, eight
hundred and thrty-nine, on the very day that His
Democratic Majesty, Martin Van Buren,, was look
ing at 40 cadets at West Point, with umbrella
over his head, and no patch upon his pantaloons,-
that very day Henry Clay adniring and prais-
ing the beauty and discipline Of regiment Of British
regulars at Lundy's Lane, where Gen Scott logged
the British numerically, and won such impsrish-
able laureis On that very day also Gen Scott himself
was up to the eyes in business, regulating whole
bsdy of turbulent Winnebagoes; troublesome and
dcmoralized tribe any that be found upon this
great continent.
Ii is about three four weeks since that General
Scott passed through this city on his way west, to
put down the troubles amongst the Indians He had
quoted all the discontents about Canada and the
Maine Boundary; by his single presence saved the
country vast expense, and trouble, and boodshed,
and misery; and then went off to regulate the trouble

riages and horses, and drums, and trumpets, and
trash and picking pockets, and after spending about
three weeks in all this folly, and nonsense and in
trgue and roguery, reaches the capital OF the state
without accomplishing any one good end or act dur
ing his entire route. On the other hand Mr.. Clay
comes laundering in a. the other end OF the state
with devil az flourish, and sputter. and sPcechi-
