GEN. Scott's NatiYeism.

The charge Of Nativeism against Gen,
Scott is source Of great affliction and troub-
lie to the wings, and they are trying every
means to dispose Of il, but it is foul spot
which the waters Of Niagara will not wash
out There it stands, and there it will
stand. We have already published Gen.
Scotps letter to Mr.. Reed, in l84l,
declaring his hostility to those who had the
misfortune not to be born in this country,
and who might flee the tyranny Of their des-
potis rulers to fad home and an asylum
upon our shores. Thelwhigs have endeav-
ored to break the force of that letter by 6rst
declaring that Gen. Scotfs views had uLs
dergone a change upon the subject; but
finding that did not take, they next charged
that it was forgery; but its authenticity is
too well established to be thus easily got rid
of. The New York Herald furnishes ad-
ditional evidence, il any were needed, Of
Gen. Soott's hatred Of foreigners, by pub.
fishing communication from the National
Intelligencer of December 1874, aligned A.
nacricus. upon the subject of naturalization
which that paper says it is prepared to prove
ia from the pen Of Gen. Scott. In thai
communication. after suggesting bin foi
the amendment Of the Naturalization laws
SO as to prevent all Foreigners, except suct
as shall serve two years in the Army or Ma.
Wy frem ever obtaining the privileges of tn.
elective franchise, he uses this language:
@We think we are liberal enough wher
in providing for America, sOs haus tn,
door Of admission open to THE cHILDREe
OF FOREIGNERS, now abroad, ,DIo ma,
hereafter be born hers, scithout allow,ns
their FATHERS TO COME AND HELP eovERr
Us. We, soho alone have any right t.
think on the sub bjsct, CLAIM THAT WE cAr
BEST ooNERN OURSELVES"
Such are the sentiments of the man whom
the wings have nominated for tho highes
Office in the gift Of the people-sentiment
as illiberal and atrocious as those which
govern the desPotisms Of the old world
And yet whiggery has the audacity to asi
the votes Of foreigners for their author.

Scott in the Revolution.

Some of the Whig papers are making
merry over an error of a Democrat who
had Gen. Pierce connected with the war of
1919. What would they say about one of
their own wise ones making Scott out reg.
ular veteran and hero in the Revolution?
The Steubenville Herald thus eulogized
him:
s'For it must be admitted-,for services
in the soars Of tie Rsuolsstion-his braves
ry and diplomacy exhibited in repelling the
tyranny Of the British Grown, he merits
the votes of not only every native born cit
izen-irrespectiye of birthplace %
As our revolutionary war was over be.
fore Scott was born, we are little curious
to know where the Herald got it's history.
GF"John Bull don't like General Scott;
he don't like the nations of Protective
Tariff. With the To-
ry organs abroad to advocate the election of
Pierce and King, and the Canadian editors
to illuminate against General Scott and the
party that supports him. their prospects are
certainly brightening."-M. Y. Express.
To which the New York Mirror. another
Whig print, replies thus:-"Our cotempo.
rary must be careful or he will use terms
which are not sustained by the record =
The story Organs, instead Of fdenouncing
the doctrine of Protection have been, and
are. its defenders The wings Of the Unit.
ed States as party and the tories of Eng
land, oppose free trade. The American
Wings demand protection for the manufac.
tnreI; the British tories for the farmer.
sit is said there is nothing in ,aams,-
still ifthe friends of protection in the United
States are to console themselves with the
comfortable assurance that they have a
right to claim the honored name of Whigs,
they surely will not attempt to fasten upon
the advocates Of free trade The odium which
would inevitably be the resul, Of an alliance

to draw some little consolation, and by
which be measures the Democratic enthusi.

the wings here to raise little scrawny,

not effect it till they sent to the railraod for

The Great Niagara Fandanro.

The great whig national gathering at Nj
agara, according to the representations of
the neutral press and Of disinterested per.
son who were there, was rather com.
FORTRESS affair. About the only things
for which it was remarkable was the large
crowd in attendance, and the vast number
Of pick pockets, side showsand gingerbread
and beer carts on the ground. That there
should have been a vast concourse of peo-
pie there when they could go from all Sec
tons Of the country, upon all the public
thoroughfares, 10 see one Of the greatest
works of natures great architect, the adj
miration Of the world, and considering that
the whig wire-workers had made despa-
rate effort to outvie nature herself in the
grandeur and magnifcence of their display,
was to be expected But with all these in
ducements, according to the accounts, it
must have been very far from the realiza'
ton of the hopes of its getters-up.
The battle which this gathering was de-
signed to commemorate took place thirty
eight years ago, yet this is the 6rst time
the whig party have formally celebrated its
anniyersary. Whether this neglect was
for the reason that that battle was fought ia
a war which their party opposed, as they
have every war in which the laurels of their
candidate have been won, let the reader
Judge. Certain it is that their admiration
for the valor of American arms and the glo'
ry Of our victories are excited at a very late
day, and never finds vent except when they
dream Of turning it to political account
but they will find they are stoo late" this
time.
The correspondent Of the N. Y. Herald
a neutral paper, who was on the ground
after giving the proceedings Of the last day
gives the following estimate:
aThe whole affair was very tame and
sptritless, and the very minutest degree oi
enthusiasm was manifested. Even the cheers
were of the faintest character, and totally
unlike any Of the New York mass or club
meetings.
"a large proportion Of the visitors lsfl
here this evening by the Buffalo cars.
@Your regular correspondent estimated
the crowd around the principal stand al
about 5000; but don't think they reached
that figure. The assemblage to-day wal
greatly interspersed with gamblers, black
legs and pickpockets, who pursued their av
ocations with great industry. One old gen
tleman lost $500 Some eight of the fra
ternity were arrested by corpse of speoia
constablss.
How well those fellows follow "in th,
footsteps" While the Galphins are plum
dering the peoples treasury, they arc fol
lowing up their glorious example by plum
dering the peoples pockets.
