Now the same article complains that Gen Scott who

fact that Scott was understood to be whg. and an
asprant for the presidential chair, and prudenty
compelled to repose on the old laureIs of Chippewa and
Lundys Lane" Yet Scott is now employed, and is
pobly adding fresh leaves to the laurel wreath which
graced his brow and we presume the complaint is,
that Scott is employed in the Vera Cruz army and Tay

from his own column, and employed under Scott!
