GEN. SCOTT AND THE COMPROMISE.

Tue GCxERAL's PosITIoN DEFINED.--A
Washington spondentof the Nashville BAN
ner recently had an interview with Gen. Scott,
who, it is alleged, is indignant at the charge
made in some of tho newspapers that his posi-
tion in regard 10 the compromise measures, is
ambiguous. According TO this writer, Gen.
Scott, in his conversation with him, said:
elbow can any one doubt my past or present
support Of the compromise measures? Did
not at the first meeting of the friends of the I'm
ion, held in Castle Garden, New York, public
ly proclaim my approval of them-at period
too, when but a few in that city advocated the
propriety of their adoption? And Immediately
after my perusal of Mr.. Clay's first great speech
in their defence, made in the Senate OF the Uni
ted States, did not sit down at my residence i'll
the city of New York, and write TO him in sub
stance as follows
have, in my day, and generation, fought
battles which have gained for our common coun-
try some little rcnown and glory. These, how
ever, might have been won by other men, or il
lost, would have been repaired by the indomita-
BILE chivalry of our brave sodery. But the
great battle which you are fighting, involves all
that is glorious or immortal, OF the present and
the past, all that is dear and hopeful of the fu-
ture. 1t is the battle Of the preservation of the
Union and the constitution, the perpetuity Of
our republican institutions. thrust in God that
you may be successful in your patriotic under
taking. For most heartily GppreUe of ell The
measures of your bill, and trM gius 10 Them cor
dial and energetic s,Pport."
He also addressed similar letter, il is said,
to Mr.. Webster, after reading his great speech.
According to The writer, Gen. Scott also re-
marked TO him
"Did not, during their discussion in Congress
personally exert my influence for their passage
through both houses? Besides, there is extant
the most incontestible proof that had it not been
for my humble aid and influence, the Compro-
mise measures could not, by a vote of from five
to ten, have passed the House of Representa-
tives.h p.
