SCOTT'S PRIVATE LETTER.
From the New York Express
The following is said to be the authenti
copy Of letter from General Scott, in reply
10 one addressed him by George Washington
Reed and others, in Philadelphia, on behalf
Of the National Convention Of that city, in
terroqaiing him as TO his views on their pc
cuIiar political principles. We believe II has
never before been published, and, ,aas we are
told, il circulated pretty freely 10 The Phlla-
delphia Convention, yesterday, possesses sui
ficien, interest for an insertion in our columns
So we give il as part and parcel Of the polit-
ical history Of the day.
WAsnINoroN, November 10. 1874.
| Dear Sir:--I have the honor 10 acknowl-
educ your letter OF the OH inst. written, as
Won aie pleased 10 add. ID behalf Of several
hundred Native American Republicans Of
philadelphia.
MOI confideniially, but mol for publication,
| have already replied 10 friendly letter
from David nj. Stone, Esq, Of your city, on
tho same subject. Iawill write to you in like
manner and in haste. This is the month
when the pressure of official business is the
heayies, with me-- leaving scarcely time for
necessary sleep and exercise. il must not,
Ihowevsr,w wholly neglect your communication.
Should any considerable number of my
countrymen assign me, or desire 10 give me,
promnent position before the public, u
shall make time TO methodist my views on
the great question you hsye proposed =
Those views had their origin in The stormy
elections in ibe spring Of 1885, and were
confirmed in the week that Harrison electors
were chosen in New York. On both occa-
sions was in that city. and heard in the
streets the cry, dosn ,oith the Natipes! II
was heard in almost every group OF forelga-
ers, as the signal for rallyng and outrage
Fired with indignation, two friends sa! down
with me in my parlo,, al The Aslor Houses
| Nov, lS40,) 10 draw up an address-de
signed 10 rally an American party. The
day after the election set out for the south,
and have never precisely known why our ap-
peal was not published. Probably the cleo
ton Of General Harrison rendered its publ
cation al ttur tiruc uu"ooessasS in the opins
ion Of my two friends,
Il now hesiiate between extending the Pc
riod Of residence before naturalization, and
a total repeal of all acts Of Congress on the
subjeci-my mind inclines TO the latter.
Concurring fully in the principles OF the
party in Philadelphia, &C.. &C., should pre-
| fer assuming the designation of American
Republicans, as in New York, or Democratic
Americans, as would respectfully Suggest,
Brought up in the principles of the Revou-
Iion-of Jefferson, Madison, &c. --undei
whom in youth commenced life, have al
ways been called, | have ever professed my.
self, simply republican, or whlgs@whlch,
with me, was The same thing. Democratic
republicans would include all good natipe
cilizens, devoted 10 our country and It's in
stitutons; and would not drive from us naiu-
ralized citizens, vino, by long residence, have
become identified with US in feeling and in
tcresi.
Wishing success TO the great work which
you and other patriots have happily set ON
foot, / remain with high respect, your fe low
citizen.
Signed, WINFIELD SCOTT.
