There has been but One Washington.

1t is frequent remark in this country, in re-
lation to great and honored citizen, that ne is
second Washington 1t is often made of states
men, but oftener' of warriors. We have never
repeated it, but have always objected to it. Cen
turies will pass away, as centuries have passed,
revealing but one Washington-but one man en-
dowed with the attributes he evinced. We hope
it is not irreverent so to speak, but it does ap-
pear to us that, in the order of things arranged
by Providence, a crisis was prepared, and the
man for that crisis was developed, with as marked
and certain design as is evinced in the Sacred
Records themselves. Nowhere else in the pages
of human history do we find character SO per-
feet, SO consistent, so entirely adapted to the po-
siton to which he was elevated. Brave, yet mer-
ciful; courageous, yet wise; ambitious, yet mod
est fearfully resolute, yet gentle as unconscious
innocence And while characterized by the most
guileless simplicity, there was in his every word,
and look, and action dignity before which his
fello w. men bowed in involuntary respect and rev.
erence.
There has been but one Washington, and we
compare to him no other man. 1t is wrong to do
so. We do not defy him, we do not idolize him,
we do not deny that he possessed all the weak
nesses common to our nature: but his duty in
life was one of such magnitude in its difficulties
and results as has been committed to no other
man in many centuries; and in every particular
he proved adequate to its achievement, and i'm
pervious to the temptations it entailed upon him.
There has been but one Washington, and we
do violence to the honored dead, and to the living
who deserve our honor, when comparison is
Instituted between them. A great and illustrious
patriot and hero now prominent in the minds and
hearts Of his countrymen, We are well assured,
neither covets nor is gratifed by such compari-
son; and there are others who are shamed and
belittled by the bare suggestion Of it,

SIR: In my last communication to you,
spoke of an incident that occurred on the slope
of. the hill at Cerro Gordo. We started for
Jalapa that same evening, and in the course of
day or two the sick belonging to our company and
regiment came on to Jalapa.
1t was my duty las often as my other duties
would let me) to go and see the sick in hospital.
Often when there did l see Gen. Scott, with one
or other of his aids, making the most minute in
quiries into the state of health and the nature of
the wounds of the different non-commissi oned
officers and privates. Upon such occasions of
kindness and mercy, his manners were those of a
father, tender and kind hearted. To those who
were distressed in mind as well as body, he would
always have some kind and good remark to make.
His visits upon such occasions were of necessity
short, but though short, always sweet to the
poor soldier. That tall, erect, dignifed, and good
commander could and did unbend the general,
and stoop and place himself by the bedside of
the humblest of the men under his command.

Betting I

We earnestly wish it we're in our power to in
huence any portion of cur fellow-ctizens, of
either party, TO refrain from this disreputable
and pernicious practice.
Betting at best is but gambling but betting on
elections is fruitful source Of political corrup-
tion.
Few men change their conduct in consequence
of new convictions, when bet of thousand or
two thousand dollars depends upon the success Of
the cause they have espoused; and 1t is not an
unfrcquent thing for the friends of one who has
risked largely to endeavor to insure him success
in his gambling speculatons.

A Sectional Party

Mr.. John Forsyth, formerly editor of the
Georgia Times, and son, we believe, of the late
distinguished John Forsyth, is in Washington,
and some party movements, it is stated are 60
ing on there, in reference to his connexion with
the Union, or some other metropolitan organ Of
the Democracy. He writes letter in the South
ern Press, firing array into Gen. Cass and the
"old fogies" of the party generally, pretty much
in the style of the Democratic Review. He is of
the "Southern wing" of the party, little tainted,
we suppose, with Secessionism-to which he
thinks Gen. Cass is bitterly opposed, and hence
he is extremely belligerent towards that gentle
man. He declares that the democratic ticket"
is the "cREATIoN and choice" Of the Southern
Rights Democrats. The Union, we see, scenting
danger in Mr.. Forsyth's vaunting proclamation,
declares, on the other hand that it rejects any
such conclusion as that Gen. Pierce's "position
commends him rather to the South than to the
united Democracy Of the North" The leaders
must arrange this difficulty; we have nothing to
do with it. Mr.. Forsyth's letter goes on to say
that the old fogies have been crushed" and to
intimate very strongly that if the party generally
do not knuckle to his particular set in the South,
they will all be blown sky -high-along with Cass,
Buchanan, and the rest of the concern!

THE Non N-CoNTENTs' OBJECTION TO GENERAL
ScoTT.-It is a strange objection to make against
man, o candidate for public Office, that he is
supported by men who do not agree with him in
all his political views. One might think that
this support, honestly given, was evidence of
superior merit in the candidate receiving it,
which neutralized and overcame the objection
to which the difference in political sentiments on
some subjects would otherwise have given rise,
and which would have been an in surmountable
obstacle to his receiving the votes of those from
whom he differed.
We care not who votes for General Scott-the
more votes he receives, the more we will like it.
He stands upon the platform of principles laid
down by the Wing National Convention. His
success, then, is the success of these principles
This is what every friend of the Union must de-
sire and for any Wing, therefore, to hesitate to
vote for him, is equivalent to placing himself in
opposition to those principles, and, Of conse-
quence, out Of the Wing party.

efect--literally and truly, "telum im6elle sine

Georgia it will accomplish none, and we believe
the result even there will not be what the Georgia
Representatives anticipate. Mr.. Toombs in his
speech expresses his great horror of political
conventions. Would he substitute for these rep
reservations Of the people the direct dictation of
members of Congress? Would he convert the
Senators and Representatives in Congress into
managers Of a Presidential contest, and every
fourth year turn the Capitol into a grand cleo
tioneering committee room? It is not because
Messrs. Toombs Stephens & Co., in their indi-
yidual capacities, choose to desert the candidate
of their party upon false and untenable grounds,
and publish themselves to the world in that atti-
tude but because they set themselves up as MEM
