OF military conduct which is TO characterize his pres
Dental auborlly. This is striking paragraph IN the
last revelation he has made OF himself to the publc
CONVINCED that hs rmony goodwill between the diff

He win not "toleraie any sedon, disorder, faction, or
resistance to the law the Union in any part OF the
land" The elder John Adams had law passed by Con-
gress against sedtion disorder, faction" &c, &c,
but that law was repealed long since, because It was
found that our counirymen being sometimes sedtous,
disordery, factious people, must be tolerated IN those
manifestations which more or less characterize popular
liberty everywhere and which, when too severely re-
pressed, break out into revolution sink down into
slavery. II is evident, from the context that General
SCOTS mind directed TO the troubles growing out
Of the sectional question in % our country and ah hs

mary warning that he would carry into civil aa,

officer His course in Mexico shows that ne VIII execute
this pronuncameno. He has meditated well the Time
and the mode of applying his 'tone principle OF military
conduct the sedltous disorder, faction or resistance
to law on the part of abolonss in the North or State
rights men The South. That he is resolved not 10 toll
crate the irregular and unlawful conduct which he has
already distinctly branded with his dispeasure is clear
and equally clear that he relies on his military scholar
ship to furnish the remedy 1t is the European plan OF
dealing with sediton; country had taste of it un.
der the first federal ruler who blended both OF General
Scotts favorile political ideas in his famous alien and
sedtion laws-he one rid the country OF aliens, the
other of sedton, by force General Scott has exhibited
his theory aliens in various lights and he has given
striking example Of his mode OF execuiionand we
may gather from il how he would manage the sedltion
and faction North and South which he is resolved not
TO toerate-with the avowal contained in his several
letters these topics, and his deliberate declaration IN
iavor OF national bank and OF national bankrupt
iawthe one TO build up gigantic moneyed power, the
other hordes of privileged speculaiors to uphold -here
little doubt but that regular military at the
bead OF the government might make short shrf for any
