These delegates we're invited to meet their

GEN. SC0TT'S BROGUE.

Gen. Scott professed himself at Cleveland an
adnlirer OF tbe "rch Irish b,ogue."8 He
pretended TO "ioye" ii--lhal was the word
''luve" il.
The richness of Gen. Scou's broeup, we be-
lieve, was never reciptocally apprt cal-d by
those for whom this "bIarney" was nended.--
Il is strange, 100, That they should not have
LEANED to love such native brceue as This;

GEN. SCOTT AMONG HIS TROOPS.

Napoleon was the Idol of his soldiers. He
could inspire them TO deeds of incredible daring.
His presence. his name the words that fell from
his lips, made the most desperate battle fields his
greatest victories. Evsn Wellington, cold and
tacilarn as he was, was deeply rooted in the
hearts OF bis troops, and could arouse in their
bosoms the widest enthusiasm, The pure, dig
nihed. and venorated Washington was beloved
by all with that devotion which Is ALWAYS
paid TO unchallenged virtue and indomable
yaor.
How different Gen. Scott from each and all Of
such examples He took pat among the cliques
OF the army, aud discredited himself by the most
bombastic productions He who now asks that
nobody should attack his deficiencies has u turn
quarreIed with or prosecuted The most eminent
soldiers now living, and many of the most emf,
nenl now dead Wilkinson, Jessup, Brown, Me-
Ne, Porter, Leayenworlh, Wood, and Towson,
all OF whom fought with great distinction on the
Niagara frontier--he sci the example by himself
treating them with injustice, and This example has
been followed by his political biographers. .--
Without going through the list Of soldiers Of the
late war with Great Britain, whom Scott has
outraged, or recapuning the details of his sue
cession of quarrels, look at his treatment of
'Oi'ui Duntdhs iluON, duu UtHtfs III the NalicN
OF Mexico-bis arrogant orders his vain boast
Jag, and his coarse criticisms upon men who had
Sd noby distinguished themselves. When we
recall these events, we shall wonder no more
that Cen Scott failed through ali his life to al.
tract to him the men with whom he is now or
has been associated in the American army.
But ii is said thai II Gen Scott quarreed with
the officers, he was the lavore with the men. .---
The progress of the present campaign amply
disproves this, especially when we contrast the
manner in which numbers OF the rank and file
worked to elect Gen. Taylor in lS4s, with The
present absence OF all enthusiasm for Gen Scott
among those who fought in the valley But is it
TO be believed that the brave troops WIN fought
in our last wars lean entertain feelings of regard
or OF gratitude for man who 10 turn qlarreIled
with he very heroes who had led them to battle
The American volunteer is now the American
voter The regular, who has served his allotted
time in the army. is now pursuing The ayocalions
of peace in the ranks Of civil le Each of these
men is history 4l The campaign through which
he passed and zach will recall the manner in
which the folies and the weaknesses of Scott.
aud his war upon every officer OF any distinction
with whom he has been associated, have been
discussed aud denounced on the march or The
bivoulc, and by he freside at home. Their
voices will tell what side they will take in the
present struggle, and we are willing TO abide the
issue.- Washington Union.
