From the washingto~ Republic.
GEN. SCOTT g. THE TREASURY

MIR. Meri~ether, the short. term Sc
nator from Kestecky, and his coadju-
tors OF the Democratic press, have ar
ralgned Gen. Scott for having received
= certain allowance from the Govern.
ment in a ID Of his expenses during
trip to Europe in 1876, when he was
charged with important public negotia-
tions.
On looking into this matter, we find,
as we find in all directions when we
examine General SCOTS character and
transactions, new testimony to his de-
serts. Had il not been for the attack
OF these Democratic worthless on Gen.
Scott, it is probable that the following
letter from Jas. Monroe would not have
fallen under our eve.
Let those who say that Gen. Scott
has rendered no "civil services read
the document, and circulate ii among
their neighbors:-

which Mr.. Dobbin, in his speech at this place,
spoke Of Gov. Grahan's letter to the Esatos Of
the Commercial, has induced US TO repuhlish, foi
the consideration Of our readers, that portion Of
it which regards the interest manifested by Gen.
Scott in the passage of the ,emsyomise measures,
and his participation in that great wolk Of pacii-
cation. With all the ingstniiy which may be
brought by Gen. SCOTS opponents to esade il,
the proof is positive and plenary that he has pro-
we'd himself, through all its stages, sincere friend
to the compromise, and therefore may be fully
relied on by the South for its faithful execution

letter to which VIC refer, and is so direct and POI
.i,ive upor the subject Of which il treats, thai no
room is left for ca,il or doubt.

subject Of dispute was thrown open for
agitation anew. found Gen. Scott

given place for the purpose, It o'clock, Mr..
n ash spoke in the court house 10 large and at
ten,ve audience for more than two hours. We
did not hear the beginning, bat suppose he had
not been speaking long when we entered. When
we first heard him, he was discussing the subject
Of the Public Lands, in connection with the De-
mocra,ic Platform, and he showed conclasively
that the old States. North Carolina includesl,)
could never expect to share inthc benefits arising
from the vast Pablo Domain il Gen. Pierce were
elected To the Presidency. He argued, that the
policy Of the Democratic party had heretofore
been TO refuse to distribute these lands in eQuta.
Bile proportions among all the States, while they
were continually giving them to the new States
in large slices; that in the Democratic platform
it is declared that they "are opposed to any law
for the distribution Of such proceeds among the
states, as alike inexpedient in peGcy and repug-
nant to the Constitution; and that, as Gen.
Pierce stood upon this platform, no distribution
could take place with bis appreciation. There
