cal philosophy and of its accuracy of statement in re-
spect to matter involving the character and the good
name of its country. Quoting the statement made by
two or three days since, that by this time General Scott
is probably in the city Of Mexico, the federal organ dis
courses as follows:

Where to STOP short sol her destruction And,
