SCOTT, POLK AND MARCY.

Heading the correspondence between Scott and
Secretary Marcy reminded us of an anecdote told
by an Englishman some years ago, in substance as
follows
Two farmers, tenants ut will on the estate of n
BRUSH Lord, had conversation on their way to
pay Their annual rent, and mutually resolved that
some OF their Lords conduct i'm private life was too
scandalous, and they would each improve their op-
poriunlty to give him "a piece of their mind' Ac-
cordingly, when they reached the mansion and
made known their errands, one was called in trans
acied ms business and came cut again. assuring his
cohrade that he had rated my Lord for his intem-
Perahce, ilDerlnism, &c, &c, and with perfect i'm
Punlty. Inc other went in, but soon came out
with flea IN his ear and most downcast coun-
lenance What is the matter p asked No l.
why handed in my rent said No g and after
your example, took occasion to tell my Lord that
his debauchery and drunkenness made him the
scandal of the County-and he in violent ANGER.
told me to quit his estate instantly why. YOU
oiockhead said No |, you didn't say all that 10
ms face did you 2? ITO be sure did-how else q
why L said it mentally, and he didn't take the
least offence at it,
we think Gen. Scott was quite right in his sug-
gestlons as to the plan of campaign against Mexi-
co-qute right also in believing that he SHOULD
leave more formidable enemies i'm Washington than
he would find on the Rio Grande His mistake
was in saying all this openly in his official cores
pondence. when he should only have said it men.

AN HONEST CONFESSION.

The government paper of Saturday night. in an
