faith. 1t is also said that Gen. Scott refused
The gllttering proher with lordly scorn and
os'entatlous contempt.-This is one of the
boasts OF the wings in the present contest.
II true, u was matter between Gen. Scott
and his country's foe; and, therefore, We
shall he glad if some friend of his will
give us all the facts connected with it. he
a0as 6oHaa t9repoH the disgra cetM proposal
to tie United States government. Did he do
so? 1.-The did, where are the papers? If
they are recorded, can they be produeeds
Dare they be produced? TO keepsu thing
a secret, and then let his partisans boast over
it, would be to dishonor himself and his
country, viii the friends of Scott give us
the proofs of the offered bribe by the Mexi-
cans to their chief Wash. Union.
Keep it before the People,
Thatthe wings have lately claimed the glori.
GUS achievements of the Mexican war, and en-
Ideayorng to make the public believe that
they Won the glory, while the facts are star
ing them in the face that their leaders re-
fused to vote supplies, and offered up pray
crS that the Mexicans might meet them
with "bloody hands" There first desire
was to starye the American soldiers; their
next was that the Mexicans might butcher
them, as Corwin prayed for. This heartleas
prayer was met with universal indignation
by the whole Democratic party. The adro.
Gates for starving the American soldiers, and
the whig Senators who desired a ruthless
foe should be permitted to wash their hands
in the blood Of American citizens, are now
Iendcayoring to make capital for their party
out Of the fact that their candidate went to
Mexico but, at the same time, under the
fearful apprehension that they would receive
a severe "fre in the rear" lie, very for.
tunatel y, escaped and had the prudence to
to keep both his front and rear outof harms
way, and he came home safe, while thoua-
ands of his fellow countrymen braved the
fire Of the enemy, and won the victo-
ries' that the starvation party are attempting
to turn to the account of man whe was
never in battle at Mexico.
