OPINIONS OF MILITARY MEN.

General GAINES, recently published letter
giving his testimony in favor of the distinguish.
Cd qualifications of the gallant Harrison for the
first and highest office in the world, as that of
President of the U. States is acknowledged to
be, which accidently escaped from our hands
without republication. We find one equally
important and pointed from the veteran General
ScorT, as brave man as ever drew blade, a
fellow soldier Of the Hero of Tppecanoe, which
We publish below, for the purpose of calling the
attention of the People to the character of
the unfounded calumnies which the Federal
Office .holders have scattered broad cast over the
land. A single word from Gen. Scorr is snfli-
sient to outweigh the detraction OF the whole
host Of writers and spocch-makcrs in the pay
Of the President

Dear Sir Your complimentary letter Of the 10Th
Instant inviting me on the partof the Harrison Com
mittee Of Correspondence for Butler county to visit
YOU and be present at Convention in Pittsburgh,
has found me in this place.
A tour through the Keystone State would be high
ly interesting to me, but my public duties at this time
forbid and ought TO add that as officer the Fed
oral Government early prescribed to myself the
rule to abstain from taking active part in the con-
Act of politics Hence, in thrty-two years, have
not once been to the poll, to party meeting. This
official reserve has however never prevented me from
discussing with the spirit of freeman, in the casual
inter Of society, the merits Of all public men and pub
lie measures of my time. Thus hhas often fallen in

es~rics Of General Harrison both statesman aud
a soldier. VITA those services Ihare long been, ia
rnliar, and only attribute to gross gnordnce or
70 party nalignity, TIC recent inpatasions 70 which
you a!lude.
If al the end of the late war with Grca, Britain, OF
Ut the end Of that successfully wagcd by General
Wayne against the Northwestern Indians, any perso,
HAD shamelsssly impeachcd the courage OF Gen Har-
rison, he would am fully persuaded, have not only
HE patriotism but his courage denied by every honest
hearted American 1t was never my fortune TO serve
