Letters from Mexico.

Locofoco papers almost weekly publish
letters from the army in Mexico, for the
purpose Of making their readers believe
that all our volunteers blindly adhere to
the policy and meanness of the admins
tration. These letters are either written
here at home, come from some individual
in the army begging favors ofthe party in
power, or, if they come from honest VOL
unteerS, have their meaning perverted.
Ofthe latter class is an extract of the let
ter sent to the Eagle few weeks since.
by young aspirant for legal and politi-
cal fame in Walnut township. The broth.
er of the individual requests us to say
that there is not word of truth, in the
sense the author of the communication
wishes to alta ch to it, in the extract. He
has received a number of letters from his
brother and every one gives the lie to the
imputation of the Eagles correspondent
The latter TO us justly adds:-"Some
individuals have an opinion that they know
everything and yet never learned any
thing ofwhat they should know"
We merely add,-the Eagles CORES.
ponden: had dozen chances of showing
his patriotism upon the tented field and
in the sickly climate of Mexico, and had
he been imbned with half the "love o
country" which his friend in Mexico pos
sesses, instead of now being at home, al
tempting TO give false coloring to hi
friends views, he would be side by sid,
with him in Mexico. He, at the tim,
volunteers were wanted. had no earthly
excuse why he..should not "show his fatl
by his works"

We are desirous of circulating more copies of

another offer.
We will supply the GazeHe to any individual
who pays us seusn'yJfve cents in adUdnes, from
the 10th OF June until after the Presidential
election.
Or. We will supply the Gazette to ten individ'
nals, who will pay us six dollars in adranes and
have their papers directed to one address.
This is the last offer. which we shall make for
the Campaigns but il there are any more wings
in the County than our subscribers, who feel that
their hearts and souls are big enough to give two
dollars year towards the support of county, a
home paper, we would be glad to lave them hand
in their names. We wish to improve the ap

The Editor ofthe Scioto Gazette, after
devoiing short paragraph to the demon
stration in favor of Gen. Scott. closes as
follows:--
"Under The head of rrpeiiency howev-
er. we conceive there is an inseperahle
objection against the nomination of Gen.
Scott. He was once the nominee OF the
Native Americans. for the Presidency, II
we rightly remember; but how far he ap-
proved ofthe proscriptive ienets of that
struggling faction. we do not now recnl.
lect. This matter is proper subject of
inquiry with those on whom the duty Of
selecting candidates will devolve."
We have hitherto considered the Edi-
tor ofthe Gazette as one ofthe most can
did and reasonable Of Gen. Taylor's sup.
porteis. We do not know what has come
over the spirit of his dream,--probably
some of the recent attacks upon him has
somewhat disturbed his thoughts, - else
he would not have made such an attack
upon one of the oldest, purest and best
Wings in the country and based it upon
mere indistiact remembrance. Before
he had made the charge, would it no,
have been betier for him. Wing speak
ing ofa Wing as good as himself, to have
made it "a proper subject Of inquiry3
Or, has he, with some others we nigh
name, determined to find no virtues save
in his own favorite?
"gwe rightly remember" is very poo
excuse for one good Wing to base
charge against another, whom he admits
to be equally as good. Probably thu
Editor had not at the time read the repl,
nf Gen. Scott to Alderman Franklin
which we publish to-day. At any rat
we commend to him the "maiter" as {"
proper subject of inquiry" and hope tha
before he reiteraies the charge he vii
find some better than the hypothetica
reason-"if we rightly remembe r"-t
base it upon.

Arrival Of GEN. ScOIt.

Gen. Scott arrived at his home, in N.

the point unheralded and taking the frs,

Wagon, driven by an honest, good tenn.
pered lrishman in his shirt sleeves, he
reached home. A triumphal car, indeed,
for the gallant soldier, who has fought and
won so many battles and added such glo.

The following is the account given of
his arrival:

Rector oftheC Church The Rev. Claiming
Moore, on his way to church, called to see
the General, who soon after followed him

to tho hat, and the hearty cheer could be
read upon the halEopened lips, and the
enthusiasm legible on every face was

affection he shares.
But cannot forego the mention ofthe
scene presented in church, when the
beautiful thanksgiving of the Episcopa

Kentuckians are taking decided stand
against more slave territory. In that
State, which might have been second to
none in the Union in wealth, in popula-
tion, in resources, the people feel the
blighiing effects of their social and poll
tical system. Kentuckians are Noble
hearted, chivalrous, and had they been
left alone-slavery would now have been
abolished in their State.
At Taylor meeting, in Maysvile. held
few days since, one speaker said: 'the
question of slavery will figure largely in
the coming Presidential canvass, and
that he was heartily opposed to the ex
tension of slave territory" He received
the manifest appreciation of his audience
Another speaker followed. delegate
to the coming Wing National Conven
tion, who after some appropriate remarks
said: "in reference TO the acquisition o
any more slave territory, 1 Iloathe, Iabho,
the idea" He was. says correspon
dent of The Examiner, applauded by the
large audience even ITO the echo" The
speaker continued and he is slavehold
er;-"to oppose the introduction of so

and to oppose the addition of poli'ica
evils to the nation whose interest ht
