" The Pen is Mightier than the SaVord"-
This eloquent line which Bulwer puts into the
mouth of Cardinal Riche1ieu, is likely to be-
come quite popular. lis application can be
very appropriately perverted. Gen'l Scott at
tempted 10 uset this dangerous weapon. and ne
fell victim TO its potency. His g hasty p1ate
OF soup letter" almost annihilated HIM: he
however, went TO Mexico and redeemed nm.
self. But before the Court of inquiry mot
acting upon the proverb that a burnt child
breads the fire,) he has taken up his pen again
and completely destroyed hlmself-tor the
Presidency. So with Henry Clay. He has
proved the magic power of The pen. He has
written an address to The Wings of the Union,
which his friends lament and his opponents
rejoice at There is all the weakness of age
mingled with all the conceit of egotism in it
Henry Clay says he is the man for the crisis,
and he is the only. man that can save the
country. Although against his inclinations,
he will run again. Henry Clay, in this adj
dress, has been attempting to put into practice
sentiment of Observation-Disclosures words were
given 10 us for the purpose of concealing ouI
ideas Henry Clay would feign make the
people believe that he does not wish to be q
candidate for the Presidency, and that he is
not ambitious, whereas we think ,hat he would
rather lose his fight arm than not be candl'
date, and that ambition goads him TO his pur'
| DOse.-DcmOcrdtiC Union.

As to the complaint of the want of funds,
you were aware that the appropriations were
nearly exhausted-the small amount avalla-
Bile was obliged TO use so as 10 preserve Inc
credit of the department; and | made the only
arrangement IN my power for the supply OF
funds. by authorizing the officers of the de-
partmenf to draw on me without limit. The
service, know, was carried on with as little
embarrassment as ever attended the service of
any army in a foreign war.
The complaint of General Scott in regard to
clothing is fully answered in my report of the
18th February last, which will be found in
Executive document No. Sc, page $50, to
which respectfully refer.
General Scott complains that not more than
half of the surf-boats he required came at all =;
and OF the seige train and ordnance stores, on
| ly about onehalf had arrived when the Mex
lean flags were replaced by those of the y. ).
at Vera Cruz. The science and valor OF the
army, he says, had to supply all Deficiencies;
The result shows that he had surf, ooats ana
stores enough: and one of his EIgh 'meri'S aS
a commander is, that he never douolel Inc
science and valor of his army, but made Inc
hest use of both. He had invaded country
with sources sufficient 10 support large armies
J AGAINST ,s he avaiIed himself, with great a.
bilitv. OF the resources of the enemy. This,
"A know, YOU and the President expected him
to do; had be failed 10 do so, or had he doubt
ed the science and vaor of his army, he would
have proved himself unfit for the high trust
confded TO him, and those who placed him in
command would have had heavy account TO
settle with the country. But his complaints
are entirely groundIess, as he, in his cooler
moments, have no doubt, will admit lie is
one of the best informed military men now
living but it would puzzle him TO show a
t single instance in the military history of the
f last two centuries, in which an army, whose
personnel and mdterieI had to be collected
from so vast a territory, was as well appoint
ed and supplied as his army has been: The
glorious results of his campaign are suti'
Gent answer to all his complaints results SC
astonishing, that the faithful chronicler of the
events as they occurred, will probably be con
sdered rather the compiler of fables than the
? relatcr of facts.
