that his case should be taken OF the hands OF his

Executive in attempting TO crush him will succeed
as poorly as Mr. ISGERsoLL IN his attempts to ami

If The Administration don't cease their persecu-
lions they will certainly make Gen. SCOTT the most
popular man in the country. When the People see
! oF heir bray nd
ted by small ambition, they are sure TO run 10 the
| rescue.
But even if they should succeed. by the immense
power of Executive tyranny, in placing Gen. Scott
in false position before the country they need not
faer then selves that they crush all the dlstn
gushed men OF the Whg party. The people OF the
country know that, though Loco Focoism has often
succeeded in getting the country into trouble. the
Wings have had TO get her out OF II. Suppose they
try to crush ScoTT by eeva,ing TAYLOR how
would they ike 10 contest the course with old
Rough and Ready" the hero of PGlO Alto and
ResocQ de Ia Palma! When the time comes for
the nomination of a Wing candidate we will name
plenty of distinguished patro;s-soldiers and
civiians-from whom 10 choose.
The bes, way for Loco Focoism 10 act, however
contrary to its nature is to give fair play Yet they
| have used Gen Scott shamefully. Their conduct IS
such that the country will pronounce il highly unjust
TO Gen. Scott They have essentially suspended
him in the command of the army, hoping by insult
poin,ed Gen. Scott will do nothing unworthy of
! his character as gallant soldier or as a patriotic
CITIZEN And when the military fame OF all the Polk
family is forgotten with their preensons 10 patriotism
there will remain indeliby written on one oil the
brightest pages of our country's history the name OF
| WINFIELD SCOTT.
You will see that the [ Mon is exhaustng all lis
powers of euloev on TIE Administration, in the
conduct OF this War. But there is no word OF praise
Tor the brave fellows whose blood and bravery won
the battles and saved the country even IN spite OF

to chronicle the names of the common soldiers who
died in these two battles. Is 1t Democratic 10 besiow
