Mr.. Clay and Gen Scott-overboard for Gen. Taylor,
whom he is mporuning for an Office to reward his
devotion. Why, then, should be surprised at the
clamaon with which he is haing the advent of the new
organ and the cold in which he "damns with faint
praise the National nellgencer II is idle to cay that

saying, that ga respectable journal than the Inte

press in the United States who universally respect

While the last quarter Of century has doubled pop

usually requires centuries to produce. The ntcgencer

Such, quite CERTAIN will be the leading

support it has given to Cen Taylor of the services which
its proessed editor (Worhngton G. Snethen) has rem

which it has to the support of his friends; and the de-
voted zeal which it intends to manifest in behalf OF his
