Gen. QuIman's Opinion Of Gen. Sea

Gen. QHiman,S Opinion Of Gen. .ScnH.--
"The American people have never done Gen.
Scott justice. The more that man character
and claims to distinction are canyussed, the
higher will be the stand he will take in the ad,
miration and gratitude Of his rountrymen. |
have been surprised and astoHished, that among
The Wing party there should be found a single
man unwilling 10 1--WE him Il cordial and t!eafty
support! A. TO lis being controlled Dy Sc
ward,--that is mere stuff! [ kpo1c tie man.
and he wN be controlled by no one, contrary 70
has orn conrjciions Of acbnt is right! And, as
TO his being true 10 the South, / consider hIm
the most uneXceptionabie man, on that score.
among all the Wings who have been named in
connection with the Presidency. | am Il Dem
ocrat; and, consequently dif1e ing widely, as |
do, from General Scott, on every political queS-
ton, can never give him my support--but, if
there is a Wing in the Union for whom, under
any circumstances, 1 could cast my vote for
President, that Wing is Winfield Scott"
Such are the sentiments of Gen. Quifman.-
He has had every opportunity of knowing The
iliustrious conquerer of Mexico thoroughly and
well. He has served with him in times of DIFF
hculty and danger, won laureIs under his con-
quering banner, and WAS made the first Gov
ernor Of Mexico, by virtue Of the authority
vested in the Commander in Ctief.

General SCOTS Kindhear2edneSS.-The New
York Mirror tells the following anecdote Illus,
traiive Of the kindness and humanity of Gen
Scott. 1t is but one among numberless others
but is so well told that we insert the material
portion. young man, who had beento AEexi.
co with General Scott, who had been sick. and
who would have died but for his kindness and
attention, declares to the editor Of the Mirror
his determination TO vote for the cid hero. al
though himself a Democrat, in the FOLLOWING
words, given in answer to an inquiry for rea-
sons:
"Why, sir, when | was lying on the stone
fioor in the hospital at Jalapa, parched with
fever, and covered with sores, with no one TO
look after me, General Scott came in and went
round among the sick and wounded. He came
to me and asked me if | was wounded. told
him | was not: but | was very sick, and could
not live many days. Don't talk So said the
General. He then asked me if | was we'll
tended. | told him that | had no attention at
all. lie then stopped down, lifted I'D nv fee
ole arm, teit my pulse, examined my fever sores,
and sent for The surgeon, and asked him whv I
was thus neglected. The surgeon sent for his
assistant, who, in return, sent for the steward
OF the hospital. The General charged rhem to
take good care of me-; and, on leaving. told me
If they did not, to report at once to him. So
you see, sir, he saved my life by his kindness,
as he did hundreds Of others; and | should be
a seoundfel not to vote for MIN. They saw he
is proud. So he is on horseback-on the battle
t1eld he is Major General Scott; but off, he is a
kind,hearted, humane man" This is a true
story-and a story to tell.
