james X. Polk has "cap'd the climax" Of
his sudacity and political intolerance, by
recalling the hero Of Cerro Gordo, who has
won for himself 20 honorable a station in
the ncfarious war now wagcd against the
Republic Of Mexico. Il will be remember
cd that Gen. Pillow wrote several letters
over the signature Of "l.eonidas" laudato-

these letters, by some chance Of war, fell

such letters being written for publication.

violated this command, which induced Gen.
Scott to order Court Of inquiry into their
conduct. Pillow is particular friend and
a law partner Of tho Presidents. Worth
has recently become a Polk man. The
latter, il seems, has preferred charges
against Gen. Scott, growing out Of the old
hero's arrest Of those insubo rdinnte officers
So soon ns the charges Of Worth's were
nade known 10 the President, he recalled
