not know him) to cast stain on the character and integrity of such officers as Mir. Polk and Mir. Marcy, and attempt to do so by such crude materia, as Winfield Scott is composed of.
 Why the effort on the part of the whigs in Congress to suppres the answer of Mir. Marcy to the letter of Gen. Scott of the 24th of Feby? but to deiame the charac- ter and impeach the motives of that Off Ger and the President, and to deceive the people.-What objection could honest men have to the answer of Mir. Marcy accompanying the letter of Gen. Scott which called forth that answer,? We as- sert without fear of contradiction that such objection emanated sobiy from desire to deceive the people and conceal the falss- hood of Winfield Scott from that people, and then to accuse the President of having gdrbled the letters of Gen. Scott, is a greater peace of impudence, publicly de- monstrated than we anticipated from the most reckless calumniator and aspiring, though foolish demagogue, but thanks to circumstance and the intellect of Mr.. Marcy and the President these monstrous and most daring fallacies are now fit an exhibition by the model artists, for the V are now in state of perfect nudity and can be plainly seen by any one with sufi- cient sagacity to last him from sun up to breakfasttime. The whig members of Congress were perfectly aware that the answer of Mir. Marcy would open the eyes of the people to the great ability and in- tegrity of the present Government while it would also clearly show-to that people the sophistry and deception with which they expected to deceive the people, They also knew that Mir. Marcy's reply was not unlike a sharp razor, for while i. cuts very smoth it cuts remarkably deep, as far as it goes, but it did not go sulfi- ciently far, for he could have with truth reminded Gen. Scott that it is much easi- CT to obtain an honorable peace from Mexico than to get along with him (Scott) without alteration, and then have cited him to his many altercations with other officers during the last war with England, his alterations during the Florida war, his alterations during times of peace and lastly, his altercations during the Mexican war. up to this time. On the back of all this for Winfield Scott to plead pcrsecu- tion,-that he is martyr to execution, ambition &c, reminds us of the opossum calling the Coon ''long nose."
 This poor old man has been so much trouble to the human family that the world wishes to give him up,-Hsaven will not receive him, and Satan Is not prepared for his reception Che has no red brandy we presume) and the Lord only knows what is to be done with him, for he has (it ap- pears) busted the Boiler and lost his rud- der, and after recapitulating mentally, all the trouble caused by that old sinner against the peace and dignity of these United States, we uncousciously exclaim,!! "What old sore-headed pet Bear is that" when the echo answers, "That old pet Bear is WINFIELD SCOTT"

sLoui>i;,ma Republican,

We received very neat paper during last week, bearing the above name, from Lake Providence, Louisiana, conducted by Messrs. J. J. Berry x Charles Yancy. We have frequently thought that paper could be sustained at that point, and if the "Louisiana Republican" is not, it will not be from a want of energy on the part of one of its proprietors. The appearance of the Republican gratifies Charley's old friends in this section very much, and we wish him and his paper every success that good luck and industry can give.
