From this ii will he seen that the gallant G en-.
Worth had occasion to change his opinion ol
Gen. Scott. And SO II has been with nearly
very officer and citizen who, IN any capacity,
Las ever had any thing 10 do with him Gen.
jackson denounced him no gentleman.
John @. Adams suspended him for bad con.
duct, Gen. Wilkinson denounced him, Gen
Tay lor i said TO have denounced him, and a
remarkable fact is. that every officer who serv.
ed under him in Mexico, - now against him,

The above precious extract Is taken from the
Republican of last MISUNDERSTANDING, ms a
commentary upon. the letter of Gen. Worth.
preierring certain charges against Gen Scott
Ii is brick from the Republicans Babel, and
shows the manner in which lhal journal IS con
Quoting the canvass. AS 10 the matters in is
sue between Scott aud Worth, we have only
10 remark that the finding of tie Court Mar
tial was against the Inter. upon every point in
the controversy. The Republican could scarce
ly have failed to know this faet--and it's pub
lcauon Of Wouh's complaints. under such CIR
cumsances as testimony against Scott is about

npresen,men, as evidence of guilt, where the
party accused had been acquitted by jury.

suppose the Republican would say The re-.
verse oithis Is the Casa memorable instance
oil which is commissioner Tlist. Whatever
bemlsh of character Gen. Scott may have is
upon the surface only His enemies say he is
vain, and we think that n man who wins hi,
way by his own valor and address, to tho tide
of MAJOR General in the American Army, be
fore he is thrty-who has commanded the con
hdence and applause of every President since
the Elder Adams, and whose deeds of hero
ism and generaship are the admirstion o
two hemisPheres-hasn right TO be vain. Thos,
who merely sec him, sometimes. form. we ar,
told. an unfavorable opinion Of him; but the,
who come to know him well, and see and fee
the many noble qualities that make up his ma
turr, if they fail to love him, it is because the,
cannot appreciate virtue and honor
Where does The Republican find aurhorit,
for Its statement that Gen. Scott was suspend

II the Republican can only produce sue
es''mony,to put down grey headed and war
