Ex-secretary Crawford.

We yesterday quoted paragraph stating that
all the members of General Taylor's Cabinet, en-
cept Mr. Crawford, were in favor of General Scott,
and that he was for Pierce and King We were
unable from our own knowledge to contradict
this report, but are assured to-day that Mr.
Crawford sailed for Europe prior to the nomina-
ton Of Gen. Scott. The statement is therefore
haeeless

Our readers have no doubt perused with high
qualification the able, wise, and philanthropic
letter of Gen. Scott on this subject published in
our paper of yesterday 1t has ELECTED the praise
of all whom we have heard speak of it. The Bal
timore Clipper, journal Of eminently conserva-
tive views, recites its tenor, and remarks:
"We entirely concur in what Gen. Scott says
of slavery in the above letter. We believe that
religion, humanity, and sound policy alike die
tate the propriety of the gradual emancipation and
transportation 10 Africa of the slaves of this coun-
try. We know not what effect the publication of
this letter will have on the prospects of General
Scott for the Presidency, or whether it will have
any. But we think that it does credit to both
his head and his heart. His views on the right
OF petition are correct We always condemned
the introduction of rule into the House of Rep
resentatves to suppress that right, as it was not
only unjust, but had the direct effect of increas
ing agitation on the subject of slavery"

Assaults upon Gen. SCOTT.

The New York Mirror, paper which does not
advocate the election OF the Wing candidate, in
reply to q very low and coarse attack Of the
Cleveland Plaindealer upon the military charac-
ter of Gen. Scott, says eve can say to Demo-
cratic papers of the Cleveland Plaindealer stamp,
that such stuff as that paragraph quoted above
can only inspire indignation among the people,
and lose hundreds and thousands to the Demo-
cratic ranks The bastard, who to vent his
partisan spite, would deny valor, heroism and
exalted military services to Gen. Scott, would
rob American history of its glory, and the Father
of his Country of honor, to serve political ends.
Let the truth be confessed. Whatever the other
merits of Scott, as soldier and hero his name
is blazoned with the splendor of a fixed star over
the record of the two national wars. Ten pitched
battles, equal to those of Caesar and all glorious
victories over British and Mexican hosts prove it.
His stalwart frame is scanned with battle-scars,
and the nation exults with just pride in his PROV
ess. Yet there is an American base enough to
deny him the credit of a hero, and to link his
name and claims with those of Arnold. Shame !!
shame"
That madness" which goes before "destruc-
ton" is evidently coming upon many of the po-
litical adversaries of Gen. Scott Nothing could
more strongly demonstrate their growing convic-
ton of his increasing strength than the blind
fury with which he is now so frequently assailed.
x 1t would be easier to 'take Gibraltar
with pocket pistol" They cannot effect their
object without destroying the history of their
country. The name of Winfield Scott is SO COM
pletely identified with the military glory of
America that it cannot be assailed without wound
ing to the quick the sensitive national pride of the
American people. The consequence of these as
saults will be to strengthen Scott tenfold in the
hearts if the people and, if persisted in, they
will as inevitably elect him President of the
United States as the sun rises Tomorrow. But
it Is humiliating to every man who exults in the
martial prowess of his country, and in the skill
and valor of her heroes, to see them held up
to the world as towards and imbeciles.
