NEw CuTs ron THE ScoTr PIcruRE Book.
lin our last number we quoted from the Scott,
picture book, which the wings are sending over
the country, those thrilling messages which r..
late how the shank robber" would not steal HE
medal, and how The .head thief sent HIM back
his money
This giowing production, 80 flied with pic:
lures of Gen. SCOTS savings aud doings, has
suggested to US a few designs, winch men-
ton good mater for the next edition, in case
few IT the s.niillion copies shall yet rcniaia
t. be printed and sent out
Among those good historical subjects which
occur to Us are 3:
Gen Scott "6red with indignation" against
adopted cit,zens!
Gen. Scout drawing up the address 70 dis
tranchise theml
Gen Sctt supporting the bankrupt bill
Gen Scott wishing vote for the natonal
bank bill and the distribution bill
Gen Scott abolishing the veto! 80
Gen Scott quitting the three new blanks into
the whig platform
Gen Scot. at the head Of the aGalphin tall"
Gen Scott strenu u.ly urging abolition petit
tions upon Congress- to be RETIRED and reported
on
Gen. Scot refusing TO write before hs nonai-
| nation
This last should be large picture. On ono
side should be the "pnhhc' whom Gen,
Scott fears to s.d>gusl' ii he takes pen in hand.
The Gen-rel himsef may be- represented in the
centre as ..,alR Ring freely 10 Mr.. Bats, out
whose 'breeches pockets peers q very small
letter to Mr.. Native American Archer while to
balance the pictpye, on the other side we may
have the Wing Convention, under the lead Il
Mr. Seward and Mr.. JohnsoG, striking ~ that
tbargaln" which is TO get Gen Scott nominated
| BY iew southern votes in exchange for the
platforms! Beside this in tbe distance should
! be seen the Office Of the N. Y. Tribune, with
ITS editor in tine act OF expect ration
We cannot doubt that the Scott picture book
| furnished with these addcndo, and sent out by
million over the country, will produce very
| saloary impression the mind. In fact these
additions would introduce a really political ele.
! 'nent IN that valuable work which, as now pub.
lisLed, it entirely wants ~ as,aln gon Union.
