We copy the following article from
the S. Il. Evening Journal, as show
ing in a concise form the services to
the country of that man whom Wings
are proud to place before the people
as deserving the highest honors of the
nation. Were Gen. Scott dead, the
glory of such services would strike
every one, no matter what his preju-
dices. Cannot some portion of the
justice which postcrity will award be
bestowed by those more Immediately
the recipients of the benefits of the
long labors of Scott, while yet the Old
Zero lives to acknowledge it. The
spirit of party detraction assailed even
Washington in his life, but hid its head
in shame when death saw him still the
patriot hero. SO with Scott. Many
thoughtless Or malignant word is ut
tered against Gen. Scott which will
call the blush of shame to the cheek
of the asperser, or those that remem-
Der him, when Scott is laid with his
fathers. We trust, indeed we doubt
not, that the seal of the peoples ap-
probation will be placed upon Gen.
SCOTS great services, by his elevation
to the Presidency. His experience
and vast mental resources qualify him
supremely to the station. That he
will honor it, let any one doubt after
reviewing his life.
GENERAL WINFIELD SCOT,
The Wings do not occupy that po-
sitIon with their candidate for the Of
flee of the Chief Magistracy of the
Union, wherein it will be found neccs-
sary to be asked the question Who is
your candidate" They will not have
to be asked by the sturdy lumbermen
of the Kenebec, the intelligent and en-
tarprising farmer of New York, the
chivalrous Sons of Virginia, the ar
dent enthusiastic Creole, the bold and
free hearted kentuckian nor the brave
sons of the sucker State, nor the Hoo
sier, nor the men of the State of Pike,
.e,cto is WINFIELD SCOTT?
His great name is coupled with snch
deeds Of high and gallant bearing;
such mighty triumphs on the worlds
great stage If action, that wherever
the names of the exalted of earth's
sons are mentioned, that OF Winfield
Scott, involuntarily rises in the minds
of the humblest and of the intelligent,
and places itselfin glowing characters.
side by side with the greatest on every
scroll of living fame.
Wherever his Country's history is
read wherever the name OF England
is or has been held in dread, there is
heard the name Winfield Scott, the
youthful General who met the serted
hosts of that invincible England, up
on the battle field, and sent from their
proud banners the glories which had
clustered there for centuries. The
men of our great country need not to
ask, who is Winfield Scott 2 They
look to our glorious battle fields, and
scan the history of our country, and
they discover him there the brave Off
Ger, the skillful General, the able ne
potiator, and the kind father of his
soldiers.
Gen. Winfield Scott entered into
the service of his country, commits
stoned as Captain Of light artillery,
in 1908. He has therefore served
his country as soldier for forty-three
years. During that time he has been
successful in every thing he undertook,
has failed in no duty, excused himself
from 10 service, been present on the
most memorable fields of battle, and
party to some Of the most important
civil, as well as military transactions
In that time he has every where, and
in every place, been obedient to the
civil law; been observant OF all the
duties of humanity; been true to
every obligation of citizen and
man; been the friend Of peace rather
than of war; and on three remarkable
occasions aided in preserving the peace
and tranquility of the country.
