GEN. SCOTT AND HIS ApvERsARIEs.

The testimony Of Gen. QuITMsN in behalf of his COM
mander Gen. Scorr has been for some time before the
public 1t was an honest tribute, honestly rendered.
Nothing in Gen. QUITMAY's military or political history
does him more honor than that frank acknowledgment Of
the worth and magnanmiy Of the hero who now stands
in political antagonism towards him.
Another instance of similar frankness has occurred
Gen BUTLER of Kentucky, took the command of the
army in Mexico it may be remembered, when, by the
der of President POLK the victorious commander our
forces was put under and brought to account for
daring to accumulate glory in his countrys with
out transferring least reduary interest to the De-
and the President who worthy
that extraordinary party of aggregates
There seems be something in military service which
makes men frank and sincere towards comrades with
whom they have passed through the pes Of the battle
fed and the privaons of the bivouack and baed poll
tcans are often compelled to shrink away in confusion
before the blunt avowas Of these of Mars SO it is
with regard to Gen. BUTLER who the characteristics Of
a gentleman has added the becoming qualities of the
soldier At recent Democratic meeting in Kentucky
he took occasion to say
"Gen Scorr is known to the nation and to the world
and it is not my province to paint Wing portraits
would be content to examine his position before the world
without saying any thing of him personally but for the
known positions we relatively occupied in the city Of
Mexico, and for the purpose Of saying publicly, that
throughout whole intercourse tnouRn ueHcnte
embarrassing he acquitted himself in such manner as
TO win my esteem and admiration"
There is another bit of testimony from Democratic
quarter which may come in here wth appropriateness
Mr. Senator SHIELDS, of Illinois, was general of brigade
in the Mexican Let US hear what he has to say in
the face of political hostility towards Gen. scorT Let
Us hear the testimony Of soldier towards brother
soldier:
" 1t is my good fortune to be personally acquainted
with both the distinguished citizens whose names have
been presented by their respective parties as candidates
for the highest office in the gift Of the American people
Cen WIsFIELp Scott is the candidate of the Wing party
For him entertain the highest personal regard and es
TEEN. l admire him much as do any man LIVING for
his great military talents and consider him as entitled
to the gratitude Of his country for his glorious military
services. But Gen. ScoTT is Democrat His political
convictions different from mine He is true to bus
convictions and for this he has my respect mean 70
be true to mine; and such is my knowledge OF his char
acter that know this will not lessen me in his estima-
ton"
