General Scott and the Naturalization Laws.
"By his long cherished convictions he is in favor
of repeal of the naturalization laws, with pro-
| viso recently inserted that every foreigner who
will serve year in the army shall have the
rights of citizenship forthwith. Union Of the Sh.
lift were always allowable to call spade a
spade, we should not hesitate to apply to the
above paragraph the only word in the English
language that will justly describe it. Perhaps
the word may as well be understood as ex-
pressed.
1t is we'll known to the Union that General
ScoTr is not in favor of repeal of the natu-
ralization laws; and that he has repeatedly de-
clared himself in speech and letter to that
effect.
General Dix, in recent letter to the Tam
many Society, had made similar statement to
that of the Union, but when he discovered his
error he had the manliness to retract it. Let
us see if the Unions love for veracity will
prompt it to follow the example of Gen. DIX.
PopToHEsrER, July 6, 1852.
To the Editors Of the Euening Post:
In a letter addressed to the Tammany Society
few days ago, on the occasion of their commemo-
ration Of the national anniversary alluded to the
illiberal opinions of General Scott, published by
himself come years since, in respect to the admis-
sion of foreigners to the rights of citizenship In
the Tribune Of the 30th ult., which came into my
hands by accident this morning, saw for the first
time, letter from the general renouncing those
opinions, and also his letter accepting the Wing
nomination for the Presidency, in which he sug-
gests an alteration in laws Of naturalization,
which shall give the right Of citizenship to all for
egners "who shall faithfully serve in time of war,
one year on board of our public vessels or in our
land forces-regular or volunteer-on their receiv-
ing an honorable discharge from the service"
Deeply impressed as am with General Scott's
eminent military services, and his equally eminent
dsqualfcations for the hghes; civic trusts, it ia
source of the greatest regret to me thatI should
have misunderstood and misstated his present po-
sition any matter of public interest. Without
stopping to comment on his change of opinion on
a question in respect to which the Democratic par
ty has for instant wavered, hasten to re-
quest, if my letter above referred 10 should be pub
lished in your columns, that this note may have a
place there also.
am, very respectfully, yours,
JOHN A. DIX.

At large and enthusiastic Wing ratification
meeting held at Uniontown, Pennsylvania, on
the 25th ultimo, the Hon. ANDREW STEWART
having been called upon to address the assem-
blage, made few remarks, which we find re-
ported in the Democrat, in the course of which.
referring to the Wing and Democratic candi-
dates for the Presidency, he said:
"He knew both candidates WELL In his opinion
the Wings had the strongest candidate, and the
Democrats the weakest they ever had. Mr.. Pierce
was an excellent and amiable little man-too anna
BILE for the great office to which he aspred he had
not the nerve, he feared to sustain its high respon
sbties-the firnness to say mo, SIR to the cour-
teous and willy ofice-seekers who would surround
him. Scott had filled many offices of the highest
responsibility, civil and military he had never
failed in any-he was always successful and sue.
cess, after all, was the best test of ability He
knew him intimately; and, in his opinion, bet
ter, Drawer, a more patriotic heart, God never
put into the bosom of man. Immense cheering
He was no crafty politician-he was too frank and
honest for that he knew nothing of the tricks of
the trade, and was too honest to practice them If,
he did.
"The Wings have had many glorious candidates.
but Scott was the "noblest Roman of them all''-
He was the hero of more wars and Of more battles
than any of them; he had done what no other can
didate for the Presidency, Wing or Democrat, had
ever done, not excepting the immortal Washing
ton himself-he had sealed his victories with his
blood. Long and loud cheers.l The people owe
him debt Of gratitude; and, like honest men, they
will pay it at the polls. There are thousands Of
Democrats who will vote for General Scott
Voices: Yes, and am of them;' sAnd am
another land why? Because you know him, and
have perhaps served under him; you have shared
his dangers and his glories. In battle he was at
your head, and in sickness at your bedside; always
and everywhere you found him father and a.
friend; he never deserted you, and you never can
desert him; he always led you to victory, and he
will do it again.
ono true soldier would desert his general; if any
do, let them go, you are better without them. IA
voice: That's true. That's the voice of an Irish
thousands Of Irishmen he had commanded, he
never knew one to turn his back on his friends or
his enemies and no true Irishman would ever turn
his back on General Scott"

From EE- President Joh, Tnler.


GENTLEmEN: am honored in the recent of Won
invitation to unite with the Tammany Society in
the celebration OF the approaching Anniversary of
American independence. Duties which carry me
elsewhere will deny to me the pleasure of being
with you, but nevertheless enter fully into YOUR
feelings, and cordially concur in the objects YOU
have in view. The reformation and consolidation
of "ihe great Republican party" is consumma-
ton most devoutly to be wished-not for the mere
empty purpose of elevating one man to office oyer
the head of another. but for the higher and more
holy object Of asserting and maintaining the prin-
ciples of the Constitution, and thereby giving inn
mortality to the Union of these States. In arriy-
ing at satisfactory conclusions as to what const-
tute the true principles Of our system of govern
ment, look to the expositions made from time to
time by those who were chiefly Instruments in con-
structing it, and more especially and above all, to
those furnished in the life and public conduct OF
the iustrious Jefferson. With the light of his
teachings to guide us, and repudiating all false
commentaries, no matter from what quarter thew
may have proceeded, or by whom they may have
been countenanced, we throw out q banner around
which will gather "a tho tribes of Israel" to de-
battle, as of yore against consolidation and nation
atty in the name and on behalf of a great confed-
eracy, composed of sovereign and independent
States.
recognise in the leader who has been selected
to conduct these gathering hosts to victory one
worthy of the hi h charge, and he has my ardent
wishes for his success.
am, gentlemen, with high respect, yours. &C.,
JOHN TYLER

withdrawn from the canvass between them, and
the no less exciting questions in regard to Ma
tional Bank and the uses and deposit OF the moneys
of the people, which 30 convulsed the whole coun-
try by appeals to individual interest and cupidity,
have been finally settled by the adoption of the
Democratic policy.
In regard to the personal characters Of the re-
spectve candidates. the prospects are not less pro-
pitious. The Wbig nominee in that chivalrous
spirit which belongs to his character, has COM
menced his first political campaign with a frank
admission Of the private worth and elaine to pub
lie confidence of his opponent-a concession which
I am worry General Pierce will be, at all times,
ready to reoiprocae.
Presidential election held under the circum-
stances to which have adverted must, il seems to
me- result in the success Of the Democratic cundi-
date. No wellinformed and candid mind can
doubt that large majority of the people of the
United States prefer the political principles for the
administration OF the Federal Government of
which Mr.. jefferson was the fret and greatest ad.
vocate, and which have, in the main, guided the
councils of the Democratic party. The Wing no.
minee is the open and bold opponent of the most
important Of those principles, and the decided nd.
vocate of political doctrines which are, in the est
nation of every sound Democrat, in deadly hostil-
ity to the spirit Of our free institutions.
On the other hand, General Pierce and Mr.. King
have both been brought up in the true Democratic
faith, and spent their lives among the sraightest
Of their sect. They are honest men, long tried in
public life, possessing talents abundantly adequate
to the successful discharge Of every duty and pri-
| vate characters above oil cavi or reproach They
have been fairly nominated, and ought to receive,
and am confident will receive, the vote OF every
single. minded Democrat in the country. If my
life is spared they shall have mine
