ing in numerous places very significant
expressions of public confidence, it seems
specially fit to publish such descriptive

truthful tribute Ia his memoirs, from the

"Tnlhis distinguished man belongs the
rare honor of uniting with military ener-
gy aud daring, the spirit of philanthro
plSt. His exploits in the field which plac.
ed him in the first rank Of our soldiers
have been obscured by the purer aud
more lasting glory Of tue pao'icatnr, and
a friend Of mankind. In the whole his
tory of Intercourse of civilized with the
barbarous oi half civilized communities
we doubt whether brighter page can he
found than that which records his agency
in the removal of the Cherukees. A.
far as the wrongs done to this race can be
aloned for, Gen. Scott has made tho ex
pialion.
ain his recent mission to the disturbed
borders of this country, he has succeeded
u 50 much by policy as by the nobIenes'
and generosity Of his character, by Tor
Influences, by the earnest conviction witt
which he has %enfurcrG upon all whom he
had To do, the obligations of patriotism
justice, humanity aud religion. 1t woulC
not be easy to find among us a man wh'
has won a purer fame; aud | an happ,
to offer this tribute. because | would d'
something no matter how little To hastel
the time. when the spirit f christian hu
manily shall be counted an essential trib
