Dear E.--iou will allow me the priv
i!,ge- of ga wing one word on politics. |
A:ow cfno nlsu that would be more de.
serving the Presidency than Winfield
Scott and more outrageous and shame
fnl act, could not have been committed
hy the Administration, that TO drag Gen.
Scott from his high command and make
fin prisoner i'll the very Capitol which
h:s Own valtjr had won. But they that
wowd have sacrificed Gen Tay lor on the
plains of'Buena VISTA and our own ar
my in the Valley OF Mexico, are capa-
he too Of trusting the danger Of thrust
ing the dagger Of revenge in the hero's
heart. Bat enough of this. was very
much pleased IN looking over your City
election. II was indeed unexpected TO
Inc, but as the city Of Reading went for
Mayor, 50 will the State and Union 60
Tor President. Mark that.
Next, let NC tell YOU how Senator
Eass was treated by the volunteers. You
elli recollect that We, Tor the VOLUNTEERED
we're mustered under the act Of May, INC
" which we were allowed SO SO per

SEEN. that Mr.. Clss. with good eco !
nor; al heart, offered bill to cause the
volunteers to he furnished with clothing
in Kind >! The same rates according to |!
GRADER, IS is provided for the troops Of
t.ss regular army. Thus YOU SEE he has
reduced our pay for clothing from - %
70 so This, suppose, is the COM /.
