Wa,IyeIsm.-Gen. seoll.

ksa ssllled matter, We think. that Gen.
Scott will be Ihe next whig candidate for the
Presidsney IN 1889. The Wing press gem
orally throughout the country are urging bis
claims above ,uif others. But while they are
sdsOcstinRihis claims they forget to mention,
thar be is a regular bred Native Ameriean-
person who hates and abhors ell foreign-
en, or Is the Native American party term
them sdsgraded Irish and Dutek." But
while they are sdyOca,i"g his claims, they
should, BY ell means, publish the following
letter written by Gen. Scott 10 George
Washington Reed and others, Native Amer
leans Of Philadelphia.
Whiggery and Native Americunism are
the same thing in substance, il not in reality.
Il any one doubts il. The following letter is
proof conclusive of that position. Let all
foreigners read.
From the LOuden, Va, Wing. June ls, 4S
LETTER FROM GENERAL SCOTT.
The following letter from Gen. Scott vas
circulated among the members of the recent
(PhiludeIphia) Convenlion,and created much
sensation: g.
Washington, Nov. 10, l641.
Dear Sir:--I have The honor TO acknOwl-
edge your letter Of the 9th instant, written as
you are pleased 10 add, in behalf Of several
hundred Natipe American Republicans Of
Philadelphia.
MOI confideniully, bu, mol for publication
| have already repIisd to letter from Da
vid M. Stone, Esq, of your city, on the same
subject; will write TO you in llko manner
and in haste. This ia The month when the
pressure of official business is tho heavissl
with me--Ieaping scarcely time for necessn.
ry sleep and exercise. must not, however,
wholly negisci your communication.
Should any considerable number of my
countrymen assign me, or desire 10 give me
a prominent posinoa before the public,
shall take time 10 methodizs my views ON
the gres. question you have proposed
Those views had their origin i'll The stormy
elections in the spring Of 1896, and were.
confirmed in the week that the Harrison
electors were chosen in New York. On both
occasions was in that city, and heard in the
streets the cry. "Down tcitt the Ndtives !h'-~
1t was heard in almost every group OF For-
eIgners, us the signal for rahying and cut
rage. Fired with Indignation, TWO friends
sat down With me in my parlor nj the Astor
House, November, lS40,) to draw up an
address--designed 10 rally an American par
y. The day after the election, sci oui for
the south, and have never known precisely
why OUR APPEAL was not pubiished.-
Probably the election Of General Harrison
rendered its publication at that time unnes
cessary in the opinion Of my two friends.
Inow hesitate between extending the Pc
Rod of residence before naturalization, and
REPEAL of all acts Of Congress
on the suyect--MY MIND INCLlNES TO |
THE LATTER.
Concurring fully in the Philadelphia, &c.
&c j., ! should prefer assuming the desena-
ton Of Amer,caa Republicans, as in N. York,
or Democratic Americana, as | would re-
speclfully suggest. Brought up IN the prin |
c:ples Of the Revolution of Jefferson, Mad |
lson, &c. under whom in youth commen-
ced llfe, have always beer called, have
ever professed myself, simply Republican
Or Whig, which with me wss the same thing.
Americans would include all |
good natire cliizens devoted TO our country |
and its institutions; would not drive from Us
nataralized citizens, who by long residence.
have become identified with us in feeling and
interest.
am happy to see by the Philadelphia
Natipe American, that religion il TO be ex-
:luded as party element. S.aunch Proies-
ant as | am, both by birth and conviction,
IhnIl never consent TO party or state rrli
zion. Religion is too sacred TO he mingled
Up with either. 1t should always bs kept /
ntireIy between each individual and God,
xcepi in the way of reason and gentle per
uasion; us in families, churches, and other
ccasions Of voluntary attendance tatter
ears Of discrction) or reciprocal! consent.
Wishing sacctss 10 the great pork which
ou and other Patr OTIS hare hdp.,ily set on
oot, remain NTH high respect your felloV
itizeR, WINFIELD SCOTT.

others, Philadelphia.
