The Difference.

When the Whiskey Insurrection broke
out ia western Pennsylvania, although not
a single life was lost, and the only(ofence
committed was a refusal TO pay the United
States tax on whiskey, Gov. M'Kean took
the field in person, under the direction of
Gen. Washington, to compel an obedience to
the leos but at this day, when rebellion
against the laws Of the United States breaks
out, and several men are murdered, Governor
Johnston keeps on his way making stump
speeches, telling his friend he owes these
laws no allegiance, and that they ought to be
Observation-Disclosures.

General scott,s Letter.

~ -AL
The New York Times states that some few
months since a gentleman of Pennsylvania,
at the request of eight members Of the State
Senate, wrote a letter to Gen. Winfield Scott,
addressing him as the undoubted Wing can.
didate for the Presidency, and requesting his
opinions upon the various political questions
which have agitated the country.
General Scott wrote the following quaint
reply:
Washington, March 20, 1851.
Sin have received your letter, (mark-
ed confidential, y in which, after commit.
ting the error Of supposing me to be "fully
before the country as the Wing candidate for
the Presidency" you proceed to interrogaie
me on many points of grave public interest.
Permit me TO say that, considering we
shall probably only have a Wing candidate
for the Presidency through a National Con.
v%ention, and that cannot be its nominee
except by the force of the unsolicited par
TALLY of large masses of my countrymen.
Considering, also, that if my character or
principles be not already known, it would
now be idle to attempt TO supply the def.
Client information by mere paper professions
of wisdom and virtue, made for the occa-
sion /:
And consideriny that, i: answer your
queries, I must 60 on and answer others al
ready before me, as well as the long series
that would inevitably follow, 10 the disgust
of the public
will beg Pc emission to close this ack.
nowledgment Of your letter by subscribing
myself,
With great respect, your obi. servant,
WINFIELD ScorT.
-@, Esq, Harrisburg, Pa.

nothing, on public subjects, which I am I'M
willing 10 see published. w. s.
