GEN. SCOTT-TRICK OF VAN BUREN,.
Gen Scott was in Buffalo on Tuesday. He was
received with due ceremony by the troops there quar-
tered He is on his way to the far West and
THEREBY hangs tale"
Our readers will recoect that upon the original
designation Of the encampment at Trenton, Gen, Scott
was spoken of as the officer who should have the
pervsion Of the encampment IL will be recoected,
TOO, that subsequently the abandonment Of the whole
arrangement was talked of; but upon inquiry it
found that much had been done toward collecting
the troops that to countermand the order would be pro-
ducve Of great disorder and inconvenience. 1t was,
therefore. finally concluded to permit the encampment
but it also determined that Gen. Scott should not
only not have the command but should be sent out Of
the country, under the plea that il necessary that
he should examine the posts upon the Western frontier
preparatory TO their further improvement
All Of these Observation-Disclosures marches and coun-
termarches--are susceptible Of clear explanations.
When the encarnpment was first determined upon,
Gen. Scott only talked Of very fine officer
who deserved the thanks Of his countrynen for his
diplomatic skill in adjusting the frontier difficulties
Before, however the troops had assembled, his name
connected withthe Presidency. and he threatened
to become formidable candidate against the = Com
mander-in chief Of the American forces" The result
Of this change of circumstances that the abandon.
ment Of the encampment was talked Of, lest its super
vision should place Gen Scott in too close aud
slant intercourse with the leading politicians Of the DIFF
erent States Blu, finding that this could not he done
conveniently, the Of sending him off TO the far West
was settled upon and put into reqnistion
The order from the President, therefore. command
ing Gen Scott TO spend six eight months in The will
dcrness, is trick OF Mr. Van Buren, TO get lid Of
individual who threatens TO be most formidable rival
to him in the Presidential campaign.
Those who are not acquainted with the intriguing
propensities Of the whom DE Wit Clinton styled
a " housing grimaikin," may deem him incapable of
such unfair and undgnifed movement But those
who do him. know that 1t is by just such manGuves
this that he has succeeded in crawling to the
high elevation which he occupies in the political
world
In this instance however his tr, kerry viii avail him
nothing The people know Gen. Scott. His absence
cannot make them forget him. nor induce less enihu
siastc canvass of bis claims for the nomination the

man who has condescended to such shallow pretences

LYON, ~ Cao,Io,,e,ri,,, psn,,blj,ou

The Enquirer seems 10 think that Mr. Rives cannot
be opposed 10 the re-elecIin OF Mr. Van Buren, with.
out that OF Mr.. Clay, and gliding into the support of
all those doctrines which have been so obnoxious TO
the people OF the Union. The Enquirer knows as
well as any one, that ir Mr. Rves were to vote for
Mr.. Clay in preference TO Mr.. Van Buren,, Il would
only be as lis editor said himself In supporting Gen.
Jackson over John Quiucy Adams, " a choice OF
evils" and that il Nj. Clay should be elected and
attempt In his admnslIal ion to introduce National
Bank, a system Of Internal Improvements or Pro-
iective Tariff that Mr.. Ryes would be i,und in bold
aud decided opposition 10 him. Does not the Enqu-
rer know that Mr.. Rives never can and never will
support these measures, and that he will decidedly
oppose any administration that attempts 10 carry
them out We know IL and so does The Enquirer,
and all that says TO the contrary, TO use us own de-
cent and courteous phrases, is vile ahectaton,
can't" lrickery," and humbuggery," in which
none are skilfn or more proiuse than the ed-
tor of the Enquirer. The argument that because
Mr.. Rves is opposed TO some OF the leading mea-
suIes of Mr.. Ciays policy, he is compelled 10 swa-
low others equally obnoxious is supremely ridicu-
lous.
II candidate were before the people stripped of
the obnoxious principles Of both MIR. Clay and Mr..
Van Buren,, and maintaining The true faith of 9S-
'99, We do not doubt that Mr.. Rives would ardenily
support him. And what sin against the true republic
can party and lis genuine anadaLtcrated principles
would this be- But such candidate, although OF
the most cunsummaie abity,-of The mos infexible
integrity, and pure asan angel OF light we believe
would not receive the support Of the EnGuiter; the
bare proposition, To place the name of such cand
date before The people, would be regarded by that
press as treason TO the party and il would instantly

The Editor OF The Enquirer has reared, not the
republican, but Mr.. Van Buren's flag and although
he takes strong exceptions TO some Of his measures
is determined 10 sink or swim with H. and as vocfe-
rouSly as il cries doHn rith Rires, it continually
