Paper ProSsssions OF wisdom and virtue

Paper PrOresstons OF Wisdom and Virtue.
The fact that General Scott has no "pruriency
for newspaper controversy" is sadly agonzed
over by his benevolent ndyersaries Without the
ability to discover in his past history aught with
which to impeach him before the country, they
sedulously seek for new points of attack,
The Union appears, however, to have despaired
of success in this effort, and turning back to the
ripples in the wake Of time, brings forth the fol-
lowing waif upon the glitterng spray
WASHINGTON, March 26 1881
SIR have received your letter, (lnarked
"confdential,'') in which, after committing the
error of supposng me to be fully before the
country as the Whig candidate for the Presi-
dency," you proceed to interrogate me on many
points Of grave public interest.
Permit me to say that, considering we shall
probably have Whig candidate for the Presi-
denoy through National Convention, nnd that
cannot be its nominee, except by the force Of the
unsolicited partiality of large masses of my
countrymen:
Considering, also, that if my character or prin-
ciples be not already known, IL aUouLd be idle 10
attempt to supply the deficient impression by mere
paper professions of wisdom and virtue made for
the occasion: " ~.@4
And considering that, if aasosr your queries,
|
me, as well as the long series that would inev-
itably follow, to tie disgust Of the public
/ will beg permission to close this acknowledg-
ment of your letter by subscribing myself, with
great respect, your obedient servant,
WINFIELD SCOTT.
-, esq, Harrisburg, Pa
p ST. must add, that write and say moth
ing on public subjects which I am unwilling to
see published. W. s.
This letter. than which one more just and ap-
propriate never was written, the Union, much to
our amazement, finds redundant in all that is
wicked and ant-republican. What! refuse tc
make "paper professions Of wisdom and virtue =
Oh monstrous! I" Is not the design to put such
man in the highest Office now known to the
world" that paper exclaims, "exactly in keeping
with the old federal ideas of his party? Is not
such design the natural result of the theory Of
the elder Adams that the people were not fit tc
be entrusted with power :" SC.
Surely not The letter proves nothing, excep,
that General Scott thinks the people of the United
States ought not to be guled with electioneerine
letters Kane letters" if you please The
Union goes on to say that
"His Canada annexation letter, his Native
American letter. his subsequent letter of recan-
tation, and all his early correspondence show
very clearly, that if he speaks his own thoughts
he is in danger Of misleading if not of disgustng
the public" :. @..@
If so, why are our Democratic friends not
satisfied? What more do they need But, in our
humble Judgment, "the public are taking very
singular method of manifesting their disgust

The Civilization or Africa.

No thoughtful man can doubt that the condi-
ton of our colored population presents questions
of the deepest import to the whole American
people. To the people Of the Southern States the
question of duty to the free people of color and
to the slaves are among the greatest, whether we
regard morality interest, which can occupy
their minds. There is, we believe, not less but
more humanity towards the children of Africa in
the hearts Of the Southern people than among the
citizens of other States, but it has not been
aroused to any great practical measures, and
very many causes mot the least the ultra aboli-
tonism of the North) have repressedits activity
1t is gratifying to know that Africa is opening
vast regions to be occupied by free blacks from
the Southern States who will provide homes for
their brethren now in slavery, but surely des-
tined to voluntary emancipation through the
sense of justice and the spirit of Christianity
increasing in the communities of the South. and
that thus the great work Of African civilization
is to be accomplished. Doubtless it is due to our
character rs a free Christian people, but more
especially due to the interests and moral sense
of the citizens of the slaveholding States, that
the federal government should extend friendly
hand to that wonder Of our times and token of
promise to the descendants of Africa wherever
dispersed-the republic of Liberia; that ii should
afford facilities and aids 10 the spirit of emigra-
ton, now beginning to stir the minds Of free men
of color from Canada to Texas, and thus con-
tribute, rs its constitutional power shall permit,
to develope the resources of Africa and bring her
vast domain and uncounted tribes into the infu-
ence and light Of Christian civilization. There
can be no difference Of opinion, we imagine, in
regard to the object Why should not the thoughts
Of our good end great men he directed earnestly
to its accomplishment!
