The Return of General scott.

fona, and possibly reconquerng Mexico for the bene-
fit Of unborn generations
But General Scott is returning. He will reach Wash
ington in few days. How will he reach liz Can he
look back upon the route he has raversed with pleasing
emotions How many of the crowds that cheered his
presence will vote for him How few have voted for
him since they have his face and heard his voice
Proud General Scott is of HIMSELF and vain as he is OF
his services and his desevngs, he cannot have failed TO
learn useful esson-i lesson which, in his approaching
retirement, he may study with ample satisfaction His
countrymen. however they may applaud him as SOL
der, not willing TO take him as President
Whenever they have recently spoken at the polls they
have told him this in unmstakable language In two
weeks he will admit this fact to himself, and bow
10 decree which he ought to see is inevitable
General Scott will return wiser if not happier man.
The high hopes with which he started have been chilled
and the voices that greeted him on his Journey Dromised

will find the volume that describes worthy of earnest

years the overthrow Of his hopes will be an adj

supposed creduli,y and ignorance Of great people.
