Some of the pessaniest affairs OF the season come
off these hot evenings at Colemans Hotel the
Hotel is quite city OF Itself The ladies' are agreea
Die aud beautiful and the gentlemes are brave and
generous. They have adopted custom OF giving
icecream parties in their several rooms. These
social meetings are not intended TOR the iormaIes
OF party, but mere call TO their fellow
boArders. We have one OF these little family meet
ines quite frequently. Straw berries ice-creams and
other beverages circulate 10 great abundance This
is the ouly way we can keep cool We had quite
a splendid affair OF this kind last night. Those
Rhode Island Senators clever men. The party
was composed OF as much beauty, bravery, talent
and worth as collected IN the same space
before. | give no names, and only mention the cir
cumstance 10 show what contrivances we have 10
resort 10 here TO pass the dull evenings.
The Loco Focos have succeeded so badly IN their
conspiracy 10 crush Mr. WEBSTER that they are
going Try for better luck in attacking Gen SCOTT in
the way have already mentioned. They talk of the
General refusing 10 take command and other foolish
stories. Gen. ScoTT, who hogged the enemies OF The
country before viii defea, those who are disgrace
to il now. Why do they Call for the corresPon-
dence between him and the War Departmental they
think any thing is wrongl II this correspondence
is published it will show three things:-l. That
Gen. ScoTT has held himselfin readiness to so at
moments warning wherever his country called him.
,. That he was scrupuousy guarded against inter
iering with his brave friend Gen. TAyLoR-and 3.
That the Loco Focos are influenced by mean and
contemplate spirit in trying 10 de:ract from the
merits of one whose popularity with the people they
fear.
Lee, me not be mistaken here. There is nothing
said for political effect l defended Mr.. WEBSTER
as would SCoTT or any other distinguished Patriot
whose moral worth fits them Tor the prosecutions of
Loco Focoism II is for ruth and justice and not
for political purposes that speak There are bright
names in the nountry. which the blighting breath
OF Loco-F ocosm shall not-cannot dim.
