w Hon. GEO. RATHBUN, leading
Barnburner of our State, having, in the

ced Gen. Cass as utterly unworthy of
support, Gen. G. publishes a letter writ

expressed the highest esteem and regard,
Mr.. Rathbun explains that when said

might acquire from Mexico, and that the
letter published by Gen. G. was impell-

II We were under slight mistake,
yesterday, in our statement in regard to
the withdrawal of Mr.. Zinn from the
Convention. He did not arise to offer
resolution, but to state, as we are inform
ed, as follows: That he had been instruct
cd by lis constituents to advocate meas
ures which were within the provisions of
existing law; and that the Convention
having gone beyond The course contem-
plated in his instructions, he did not feel
himself at liberty to act further. He was
proceeding to explain, when he was cut
short by the President, who did not wish
to hear any more from him. He was
then told to goi upon which he withdrew,
amid the jeers of those whose democra-
oy teaches no tolerance of dissenting
opinion Mr.. Zinn will, no doubt, make
himself heard elsewhere, although he
was gagged here. 1t must be remem-
bered that this contempt was exhibited,
not for his own opinions, which were not
expressed. bnt for his fidelity TO the in
structions of those who had delegated
him to the Convention. Such is Locofo-

Not all harmonious

1t must not be supposed from the
Statesman's account of the proceedings of
the Traitors Convention, that all passed
off harmoniously. There was some SPAR
ring there. Mr.. Brough and two.thirds
of the Hamilton county delegation op-
posed the phraseology of the fist reso-
lution-opposed the latter clause of the
thrd-and the sixth.
When il is recollected that these del
egaes are from the county, which the
Locofocos say is most aggrieved by the
Jaw, what will our readers think of tho
movement Barely two from that county
supported the resolutions and one ofthem
was Ewing-one of the GLORIOUS fif.

Congressional.

The Senate has been principally en-
gagged. during the week, in the discus.
sion of the Yucatan Bill The debate
has taken a wide range and some able
speeches have been made. 1t is probable
that the bill will pass the Senate; but we
trust that it will be killed in the House.
In the Senate, Johnson, of Maryland,
offered resolution calling upon the
President to inform the Senate why Ger.
tain military nominations, Pillows and
Quitman's, were not sent into that body
for confirmation. Mr.. Allen, of Ohio, OPP
posed the motion on the ground that the
Senate had no more right to call upon the
President for such information than the
President had to call upon Congress ask
ing them why they had not passed certain
bills. Pshaw! Let Allen and other Lo.
cofocos have sway and the President
would soon be beyond the reach of Con
gress and the people-a President in
name, but an absolute monarch in fact
Resolution laid over.
In The House the Wisconsin bill has
passed. Also bill granting bounty land
to officers, who have been promoted from
the ranks, since they have been in Mexi-
CO. Also bill, altering the bill passed
last winter, to reduce the number of Of
6cers in the army at The close of the war.
Also resolution providing forthe pay of
the Texas mounted troops called into
service by Col. Curtis-the resolution
was amended by providing, also, pay for
the horses lost in the Florida war and the
Gulf of Mexico.
We have not noticed any other busi-
ness of general importance.

The Administration and Gen. Scot

The Administration and Gen. Scott.
How contemplate and mean is the
treatment, which the present Admins
tration bestows upon the General, who
has fought their battles and conquered
their enemy!
Had Scott performed a series of blum
ders ftom the time he left homo up to
the resent moment--had he failed at
Vera Cruz at Puebla, at Cherubusco and
at the city Of Mexico-had he met with a
series of disasters and suffered defeat
in every encounter with the enemy-had
he, by misconduct and cowardice, caused
disgrace to the American arms and the
American name; the Administration could
have done no more than they have done
to disgrace him.
But thanks to free thought, free press,
free speech and American honesty and
gratitude, the people will become ac-
quainted with his victories and the Ad-
ministration's meanness, and while they
reward the former they will hold in utter
contempt the latter.

The lovers of law and order in the
State of Ohio. have reason to he thankful
to the gentleman, the sole delegate from
Ross county TO the Convention, whose
name stands at the head of the article.
Although there were many in attendance
at the Convention, who by their pres
ence and the open expression of their
opinions resisted the tendency to strife
and bloodshed shown by some of the del
egates, it was for him, openly and fear
lessly, to stand forth the bold and tenn
perate advocate of the mildest, and at
the same time the most effective, meas.
nres that could have been proposed.--
Happy and fortunate for his party would
it have been if his councils had prevail
ed. . His opening remarks upon motion
of his to strike from the third resolution
that which commits the party to ulterior
measures, struck us as exceedingly true
and well timed.
He said, he was opposed to the resolu-
ton in the form in which was it re ported.
because twas revolutionary. The people
OF the State of Ohio are not prepared for
a Revolution. If this course is persisted
in, it will produce a state of things ending

are not prepared for the shedding of
bood-.-lhey have no sympathy with
bloody men, and no love for the blood
thirsty.
If, said he, the Constitution is viola
ted, it is to be regretted and atoned for;
