GrNKxAL ScorT's RETURN 70 the uSir1p
STATES According to the latest intelligence
from Mexico, General Scott has retired from the
important post of commander of the army there,
and will probably soon be in New Orleans, on
his way to Washington and New York.
The return Of this distinguished military man,
covered with honor and glory, by his splendid
campaign from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico,
will be the signal for movements of allkinds-
both of a social and political Misunderstanding
his progress from New Orleans to Washington,
or northward towards this city. To the whole
country General Scott will be an object of great
interest, as one OF the most brilliant military men
OF the age. We do not wish to make any COM
parison between him and another distinguished
military hero--he victor OF Buena Vista
Both possess merits of their own sufficient
to enable each OF them 10 stand upon his own
pedestal, b fore the people OF the United States
The friends of Gen Taylor do honor 10 their
hearts and TO their feelings, when they indulge
in acts and deeds honorable to that distinguished
man. We clnnot deny the same thing to the
friends of General Scott ; but his return will
give new stimulus, and lead to new exer,iors,
with large class of politicians who wish to
place his name before the people, in connection
with the Presidency His return will stimulate
their energies, and lead them to concentrate
their forces, and animate their powers, wherever
the seeds OF them may XIst. In this State, In
Pennsylvania, and in New Jersey, Gen. Scott
mas great many friends, who will be ready to
act, whenever an opportunity is presented them.
The Wall street wings here are really for Scott,
although they profess, at present, to be for Tay-
lor.
Ia the meantime, there remains developement
10 be made by the Executive and by Congress,
upon the subject of the late treaty, and the late
events in Mexico which will be locked for with
great interest by all parties There is the correc-
pondence between Gen. Scott and MIR. Trist !;
also, between Gen Scott and the government,
which, according to rumor, has much in 1t SINH
lar to the famous "soup" correspondence, and
upon hich those WHO are opposed to the Gene
raj rely III order to stop his aspirations to the
Presidency. No doubt, all will be brought out
in due time, and will cause, when II appears,
great deal OF discussion as to the capacity and
prudence Of General Scott as an able civilian.
We believe, however, there is no enc who
will not readily give him the high st character
for genius and capacity. as a military leader and
a military chieftain. We ought to be careful,
however, in the ardor of political aspirations,
act to sully the disting uished military character
Of General Scott, by endeavoring TO depreciate
his civil qualifications for high office How
ever, we much fear such prudent course will
not be followed by the noisy, csp,ieus and re-
lentless politicians belonging TO the various par

CLAY, WEBSTER CORWIN.

The editor of the North American, i the
city Of Mexico, Is, at the Same time, the
Mexican correspondent of the North Ame-
rican in Philadelphia. In the latter capaci-
ty he has been much complimented by our
Federal neighbors, and on one or two we'll
known occasions, his opinions have been
paEaded as the eloquent condemnation #
the war and the administration. Lieut..
Tobey, who conducted the North Ameri-
can, in Mexico, is a most intrepid writer,
and although he may, like others, sometimes
lose his patience by the non-arrival of re-
Inducements and of supplies, yet there are
few men in the American army, whose heart
and whose pen are more thoroughly patri-
otto. This able editcr-the ~favorite army
correspondent of the domestic North Anne
T~ican, in his paper, the North American in
Mexico, thus ailudes to the correspondence
of those who have opposed, and continue
to oppose the present war. He aIludes to a
compliment paid to Messrs. Clay, Corwin,
Webster, &C., from the Monitor Republi-
cano, of the city of Mexico:
"Hear this Americans! Heart We whose
relatives and friends have fallen in the des-
perate encounters of Mexico, while uphold
ing the banners and the honor of your coun-
try! Hear it ye stricken widows and help
less orphans, whose support and guide have
laid down their lives in defence of the rights
guaranteed them and you by the blood of
the patriots of the revoEutioni And hear it
ye few remaining links between the glori-
IL achievements of '76 and AZ, though it
freezes the feeble life-pulse and still your
brave hearts beating forever! God of Heav-
en-! Can men thus false to their country
thus Iattered by the common enemy of the
land of their birth-have the effrontery to
retain their places in the Congress they have
d~ishonored? We hope not. If they have
any sense of shame left, let them desert the
companionship of Americans and Join our.
foes. Here they could but kill their coun-
trymen-there they stab their country"
Yet, one of these men is to be the Wing
candidate for Presidents about to solicit
the support of the fathers and brothers Of

has stigmatised as robbers and land pirates!
Surely he must have a ssfront of brass'' to

THE KNOWING ONE CAUGHT.

A person was once complaining to a tav-
ern'keeper in this State, where he had
stopped to dine, that he had picked up a
frkin of butter on the road, and had car
ried it on his back half a mile to overtake
the team from which it had been lost, but
the only reward that he received was a
mere "Thank you" OH said the tavern.
keeper, I consider that of the same value
as 25 cents, and if he had said, "Thank
you very kindly" it would have been e.
quail to 81 l-2 cents! The man was silent,
and went into the dining room to satisfy his
hunger. After he had eaten a plentiful
meal he went to the landlord and said, 81

long since Bachelors Grove, near Rocky

the Mound Tavern, still farther up, was

did not speak French, has been applied in some OF
