MAJOR GENERAL WINFIELD SCOTT.

The greatest of living generals may be ex-
pected to reach our city, in company with Gen
eral Roger Jones and Surgeon General Lawson,
either by the mail boat tonight or tomorrow
night. AS a proper mark of respect to one
whose bright military career is the theme of
every American tongue, and whose long and
invaluable services in the field has endeared
him to every American heart we have already
suggested that he should be welcomed to our
city by some public demonstration on the part
of our citizens. But having read private note
from him under date of the 18th inst, protest
ing against any thing of the kind, and urging
his friends, if in their power, to prevent it; we
presume, out of Difference to his feelings, such
demonstration will not be made. 1t is, how
ever, certainly proper, and to this General
Scott cannot object-that the mayor and mem
bcrs of our common council should in body
pay their respects to him on his arrival here.
Less than this cannot be done, taking into con-
sideration that he is the commanding general
of the United States army, and victor of more
battles fought than any other officer of his rank
ever attached to the American army.

WILLIAM LYON MoKENzIE, who has been re-
turned to the Provincial Parliament of Canada
from the county of Haldimand, is well known
in this country. He was the great Canadian
patriot who took refuge in this land of sympa-
thy good many years ago, when Canada was
not revolutionized and he it was, too, who found
lating to John Van Buren,, James Gordon Ben
