mination the House to pass this bill and he
complained that while every other state has
been provided for TO sorc extent, Virginia has
been entirely overlooked, because the Virginia
delegation have constitutional scrupies on this
subject, and have not appeared before the Com
mittCc on Commerce 10 urge the claims Of that
State. This should not prevent those who have
no constitutional scruplcs from doing right to
Virginia. While he could not vote for the bill,
there being many unconstitutional items in it,
1t was his duty to urge others to do so.
Mr.. Stanly interrupted and said-My sub
stitutc provides for V!rgna.
Mr.. Mead replied h. was aware Of that, but
he would prefer this bill, with the omission of
an appropriation for Virginia in it, to the gcn-
tlcmans bill with an appropriation for that
state, on the principle that lie would prefer the
lesser to the greater evil
Mr.. Scynour explained why the Committee
did not put in an tCa fog Virginia. The rea-
son was that none Of the delegation of that
State had appeared before the Committee on
Commerce, and because there were no estimates
from the proper department,
Mr.. Marshal, Of Kentucky, commenced
speech, but had not proceeded far when he
yielded to motion that the Committee rise.
which prevailed, and the House adjourned.

the numbers brought by vessels over and above

to him his resignation as Major General in the
Army.
Gen. Eaton, very cool, consderate man,
and friendly to Gen. Scott, begged to romou-
strate against this procedure. But General
Scott said that he had deliberately determined
upon it. "l shall 20 back to the practice of
hw," replied Cen Scott. "But" said Gen.
Eaton, you will find that field already occup-
ed, you cannot expect to obtain practice with
out undergoing another noviciste. Younger
men fill all the avenues to professional busi,
ness" Gen. Scott was, however, bent upon
his purpose and he added to his explanation,
that his family were in Europe, and that ne
was about to 60 and Join them, and should be
absent some months, perhaps year.
Gen. Eaton then requested Gen. Scott TO re-
main in the CITY, and to call on him next day.
Gen. Eaton went to President Jackson,
and informed him of the interview, and that
Gen. Scott had rendered his resignation. Gen.
jackson replied'-"l suppose Gen. Scott thinks
that, on account of old difficulties between US
am untriendIy to him,-which is not the case
and, therefore, he wishes to resign. Now,
MIR. Secretary, do what you please in the mat
ter, but treat Gen. Scott precisely in the same
manner and with the same consideration as if
nothing had ever passed between him and me-"
Gen. Scott went to Europe. After about ten
months absence, he returned to New York.
From that city he addressed a letter to Gen.
Eaton, Secretary of War, thanking him for
his courtesy, and expressing a desire to with
draw his resignation. Gen. Eaton replied
eendiRg him his letter of resignation, and say
ing he was much gratifed, that an officer who
had conferred so much honor upon the service
had determined to remain in it.
1t was, of course, in the power of Gen. Ea
Ton, at any time, while the resignation was in
his hands, to endorse his name on it and that
would have put an end to General SCOTS mill
tary career.- BoS'0a Mail.

of friendship, Colonel, and hope you may

Tennessee is all right. We have no doubt
of this State. Papers, letters, and every
Wing we see from there are full Of confidence.
The Wings of Illinois are making gallant
effort. Some prominent and close observing
Wings are making calculations upon this
State.
The same may be said of Iowa. There is
considerable enthusiasm in Iowa, and Wings
are laboring with zeal.
We have thus alluded to States to which
our attention has been more particularly
drawn within the last few days. Everything
around us breathes an air of encouragement
We hope the Wings of Indiana will roll up
a heavy vote for Scott. We believe a strong
and united effort will carry the State for HIM
1t was once carried for Harrison, and we be-
lieve it can now be turned over to Genera
Scott. An effort is demanded which We hope
will be made.

The Canvass.

To say that the appearance of things over
country at this time merely look as if Gen.
Scott would be elected, is but to family shad.
ow their prediction. To our observation and
judgment they strike away all doubt of the
election of Gen. Scott. We speak candidly
and honestly, when we say, things never
looked better for the election of Wing
President than at this day. We are not only
in the receipt ofpapers from different quarters
of the country, and have it thus in our power
to feel the pulse Of certain States to better
advantage than those not thus provided with
the documents-but we have recently receiv.
ed letters from Washington City, New York
&c. of highly encouraging nature. From
New York our latest news is highly crafty
ing. Old politicians, who until lately have
set down New York as doubtful, now consid-
er her safe for Scott. Thurlow Weed de-
clares New York safe. Greeley declares in a
private letter." We are perfectly confident
in this State.'' Calculations are sanguinely
made on 10000 majority for Scott in New
York, by many of his friends who are thor
oughly acquainted with the State.
A letter from Washington to the editor OF
this paper, says about Pennsylvania" We
have no doubt of her vote. 1t good for Scott,
sure. We daily hear of great changes, and
especially among the Germans. Depend on
il, Pennsylvania is all right
The same letter thus speaks of Maryland
81 have had doubts until recently, of this
State. Now, however. things are working
admirably. We are promised 5000 majority
by observing men, and the way they take
hold shows they intend to make their promise
good. Meetings are being held all over the
State. The Wings are at work. There is
work to be done there. We count on Mary
land for Soft"
New Jersey is ours no,c, or we are much
mistaken, although the Wings have some
thing to fear from the money of influential
Democrats.
Delaware and Vermont are good for Wing
: majority of course.
Virginia and Georgia have recently waket
up, and are taking hold with spirit and yea
we did not dare hope. They consider Scott
all right on the Compromise. The Virginia
Wings are working as if they really expected
to carry the State for Scott. We hope they
may.
In North Carolina the Free Suffrage ques
ton beat US in August. 1t can't hurt us il
November. She always does about 5000 o
thereabouts better for President, than 70
Governor, anyhow. The Wings have re
covered from their defeat, and are now con
fdent.
IN louisiana, the Wings are hard at worl
and We feel pretty confident of that State.
