Mr.. EDITOR: In the "OHIo PIcAYUNE," a
newspaper edited by Joseph Cable, in this town,
and published on the 5lh of May, inst, fiud an
artlcle over the signature of 81. ATKINSON"
which ! think deserves my notice.
With the attempt of the writer to thrust him
self between the Wings of Carroll and The
"FREE PRESS" and his endeavor to block up and
cut off the channels of intelligence through
which the readers and patrons of that paper get
their news, have nothing to say. That paper
has wiIhstoOd his opposition in days that are
past and gone, and doubtless will again. His
power is not omnipotent. With the entire arli.
Gle of the writer, have nothing 10 do: save on
ly the first clause. In that ESQUIRE ATKINSON
uses the following language when speaking Of
the "FREE PRESS"
"a slandering journal, in the hands Of few
base petlloglng lawyers, who have no chara cter
even in that profession, but make living petit
ioging small cases before justices of the peace,
engenderng strife between neighbors about small
matters &C. This course has
been continued for years."
Now, of the lawyers who ever had any thing
to do with the "FREE Press, am the only one
who remains in the practice. 1t was first con-
Quoted by Johnston u Pearce, the first of whom
is now Judge of the Superior Cour Of Cincin-
nati, and the second President Judge of this Cir
cult. Mr.. Lloyd, who came into the editorial
department after | left, is now Clerk Of the
Court. These are all The lawyers who ever, TO
my knowledge, had any thing 10 do with con-
ducting the paper. "A few base pettJoging
laUyerS IUh0 haze no character eren in that pro-
.tesSiOn."
| will not stop to inquire whether Ihave any
character at all, even in or outside of "thdt pro-
tesSiOn." have been longer in this commu-
nifty than Isaac Atkinson, Esquire; and the pub
lie know both of US, and any thing either he or |
can say Of the other will not, in my Judgment,
shed any new lights on the public, or in any way
control the minds of right thinking men. The
public can and wAIthink for themselves. There
fore let his wholesale denunciation of "lacgers'
90 for what it will bring. He is merchant-I
am lawyer. The laws of the country tolerate
both. Let each attend 10 his own business, and
not envy his neighbor who never injured him.
But there is one point in his article which will
notice. He says in speaking Of the lawyers
who have controlled the "FREE Pass" for years:
"They make a liriag pettJogiag small ca
seS before justices of the peace, engendering
strife bettOeen nsighbOrs about small natterS"!!
Now, charge of this kind, if true, is criminal,
because the statutes of Ohio, Swans collection,
page 243, make ii so; and subjects the guilty to
6ne and Imprisonment. If the charge be true,
ii is susceptible of proof if false, ii is SANDER
Gus. And if |. ATKINSON, EsQUlRE, intends to
charge me with "engender'ng strife between
neighbOrs," for the purposes charged in his arli
Gle, | then pronounce his charge 10 be an INFA

Gen. Scoll,s Lellfr.

We publish to-day, TO The exclusion Of other
interesting mater, the straightforward and SOL
dier-like leuer Of General Scout to The Secretary
Of War, closing the correspondence between
himself and The War Department, previous to
conyening Of the Couu Of Inquiry, aud review
log the policy Of the Executive towards him from
lifetime he left the United States until he reach.
ed the Capital Of Mexico. The letter, though
lengIhy,is is exceedingly interesting. and will be
read with ayidity by the numerous friends Of the
old hero throughout the whole country. The
reader will find inthe letter clueto someofthe
battles in Mexico, as well as the extraordinary
delays of our army in advancing upon the city
Of Mexico.
The course Of the Administration towards Gen.
Scout, for weakness and duplicity, treachery and
oppression, tyranny and ingratitude. stands with
out parallel in the annals of the nation
Whether we regard his pass, granted to Santa
Anna, or his cCnnivance al the defeat Of our
army, for the purpose of blasting the fair fame
of the commanding general, or The arrest of the
victorious hero, and his deIension, as a prisoner
al large, in the very city that his skill aud valor
had conquered despite the Vaccinations Of the
Executive, we see the same wanton and wicked
disregard Of justice and human rghts-the same
unhoy purpose. Every act of the Executive
seems 10 have been undertaken for the delber-
ate, we had almost said fendsh, purpose of dis.
robing the oldgeneral ofthe aurels he has won in
many hard fought battles, eventhough he should,
by so doing, effect the entire annihilaton of the
little army. that his mad folly made it necessa.
Try TO send to Mexico.
Gen. Scott has been too long in the service to
be caught in Executive traps, and James X. Polk
has, perhaps, experienced the fact that he is as
unable TO conquer the scar.stained veteran, as
was his PrOtfge, General Santa Anna, on the
heights of Cerro Gordo, or at the city of Mexico.
The ExecutivewiIl soonregard its attempt to
pluck Iaurels from the brow of Gen. Scott as a
brown business for, after having deposed its
Worth, it is left without Pillow on which TO
lay its inglorious head.

PERSONAL MATTER.-We had intended to
stand aoof from controversy existing between
individuals in this place and our immediate pre-
decessor ia the editorial department. of this pa
per, with which we have not had, and will not have
any connection, but card, published last week,
over the signature of 81. ATKINsoN," makes it
incumbent upon US 10 say something in regard
TO it. The card sets out by observing that the
writer "had supposed that an enlightened people
would not, for any considerable time, support
public Journal or newspaper, unless it merited
patronage by usefulness; but the length of time
which the wings of Carroll have sustained the
Free Press, slandering journal, in the hands of
few base pettifoggihg lawyers, who have no
character even in thatprofession, but make IL
wing petlifogging small cases before Justices of
of the peace, engendering strife between neigh.
bors about small matters" #-. .hn
Now, it is not our place to speak of the char
acter of the Free Press-that is a matter for
others to determine; but that it is sin the hands
of few base pettifogging lawyers" or that those
connected with the paper spend their time in
''engSndering strife between neighbofs," is a
consideration that affects us-a matter Of imme-
diate moment to ourselves, and of which the
people, our neighbors of both political parties,
ought to know something. We are not stran-
gers here, neither are we entirely unacquainted
with the people of this community, and shall,
therefore, constitutethem the judges between 81.

The Presidency.

We regret to see the spirit of irritation dis
played by some of our contemporaries in discuss
ing this subject. It's, in our opinion, neither
wise nor polite. The friends of neither of the
proposed candidates can hope to succeed with
out the assistance of the friends of all the other
Wing candidates. How is this assistance TO be
obtained! Will brow-beatng the friends of one
asPirant, ridiculing those of another, and scof
fling at third, answer! Most surely not. Then
why pursue such a course! 1t can accomplish
no good, and may result in much evil. 1t can.
not be expected that after such a course has
been pursued, the friends of unsuccessful aspi-
rants will rally to the support of the nominee
with the same alacrty as though nothing harsh
or unkind had been uttered against their parc.
ular favortes. If editors have chosen their
men, and most people have, let them sustain
those men, but not at the expense of others, as
worthy and as good Wings, as the individuals
they prefer. The contest we are entering upon
is too important to admit Of our wasting words
in the selection of candidates. All our strength
will be required to combat the intrigues of the
common enemy, armed as he is with the emol-
uments of Executive patronage, and reckless as
10 the means that will enable him to reIain power.
For our part, we care little phO the candidate
is; we should rather ask what he is. Is he a
Wing? Will he advocate and support Wing
principles, in all places and at all times! Will
he, if elected, recommend and carry out in prac-
nce the several principles laid down in the Wing
code! If these questions are answered in the
affirmative, we shall be satisfied, whoever the
candidate may be. We are battling for princi-
pie, not for the promotion of men.
