So Infamous falsehood as that Gen. Scott approves

ago, could only be penned by the who in the face

Journal.
Hurt, badly hurt. Defrees is cornered again, and
gets of his difficulty usual by playing the black
guard. What asserted above, we proved by inccn-
royertbe testimony and for the benefit of our readers,
we again submit it. Read and Judge We will now
call to the stand, James Watson Webb, editor Of the
New York Courier and Enquirer. Gen. Webb says
the letter of Gen. Scott to George w. Reed was
written in November 1884, six months after the Phila-
dephia riot In that letter Gen. Scott says:
COnearring fully in the principles of the Philadel
Pha movement, | should preies assuming the name OF
american Republicans, in New York. or Democratic
.4merieans, as would respectfully suggest"
Now, what does Gen. Scott mean by this declaration!
He means the organization of the Native American
party with all its acts and movements. They burnt
the churches Gen. Scott does condemn that act,
hence the reasonable and rational inference is that he
approved it.
Gen. Webb, who then acted with him, now says:
"On the 25th of October, 1S41, Gen. Scott in deGn.
ing his principles added my principles convic-
tons We honored him for the sentiment and although
approved Of Philadelphia nativeism and
ultra Gen Scott in regard naturalization,
yet adhere firmly to the principles have ever
held upon this subject, because they convictions
Now, Webb certainly understood Gen. Scott ap-
proving the ultra movements of the Native American
party in Philadelphia. This is the proof which
based declaration. 1t is strong and conclusive and
wounds deeply our Wing brethren. We are sorry to
hurt the feelings of SO nice young John D.
Delrees but it can't be helped. We must aud will tell
the truth II Gen. Scott did not approve the Philade
phia movement, then he did not tell the truth in his
Reed letter We have charged the Old Hero with
lying, and never intend to.
