complsmentto to Gen. Scott.-1n the pre-
face to The Lecture on War,by Dr.Chan-
Mug. which has just been published by
Dolron and Wentworth of Boston, Is the
following well deserved compliment TO
Gen. Scott, the Pacfcalor, whose conduct
on recent occasion, has given him addi'
tional claims to the gratitude and respect
Of his counlrymeu, and of every friend OF
humanity. DR.. Charming says
"To this distinguished man belongs the
rare honor of uniting the military energy q
daring. with the spirit Of philanthropisl.
His exploits in the field which placed him
in the first rank Of our soldiers, have been
obscured bv the purer aud more lasting
glory of paciicaor, and of Friend To
Mankind. In The whole history of the in-
rercourse of civilized with barEarous or
half civilized communities, we doubt whe-
ther brighter page, can be found, ttlan
that which records his agency in the re-
n.oval of the Cherokees. AS far as the
wrongs done to this race can he aiOncd
for, Gen. Scott has made the expialion.
In his receut mission to the disturbed hor-
ders of our country, he has succeeded, mol
so much by policy as by the nobleness and
generosity Of his character. by moral IT.
tluences, by the earnest conviction with
which he has enforced Oh all, with whom
he has had to do, the obligation of patriot
ism, justice, humanity and religion. 1t
would not be easy to tiud among us, man,
who has won purer fame; aud | am
happy to offer this tribute, because l
would do something, no mailer how little,
to hasten the time when, the spirit Of
Christian humanity shall he accounted an
essential attribute, and The brightest orna-
ment in public man."
