What the Wing papers say of Gen. Scot


The Wilmington IN. c. Journal, a well
known whig paper, says:
To say that Gen. SCOTS nomination has
been received here with coldness-nay, with
ANGER AND DISGUST-would be but
to state the simple truth, in which we will be
borne out by ALL PARTIES.
The New York Courier d Enquirer says
We feel that success cannot crown our la.
hors; but we shall labor honestly, notwith
standing, in the wing cause while it contin
ues to be such. But if the wings
of this State thrust aside the platform, ant
sustain the candidate only, we may feel it in
cumbent upon us to abandon tie candidtat
and adhere to the PLATFORM.
The Macon (Ga.) Journal 6 Messenger
says:
We view the nomination of Gen. Scott a
a triumph Of the enemies of the South; anC
it now remains for our own political friend
in the State, to take such course as will
best insure the great interests of the coun
try.
The Bridgeport Conn Farmer, edited b.
Or. J. g. Afflock, who has stood in the viii!
ranks from bOyhood, says:
OF Gen Scott we shall say little. Hi
qualifications for the presidency arc purel
military; and were he in that department
greater than the conqueror Napoleon, W
should hesitate to approach the ballot DO
in his favor. Nature seldom bestows tw
great gifts upon one person. If she has Civ
en- him the art Of war" which is general
acknowledged, we think his consummate wan
ity should be satisfied"
The fredericksburg CV.) Ne,os, lcadin
whig paper, holds forth as follows
We should not think Scott can come it,
Heisa military chieftain, and the people ar
tired of military chieftans. We have ha
enough of them for the next half century
But this is not the only objection to Ger
Scott. He has committed sbsurdities whic
have disguised the people. His hasty plat
of soup, connected with other incidents in hi
ridiculous Marcy correspondence, prove hir
unfit for any elevated civil station.
The New York Mirror says:
Gen. Scott cannot come within sight
the White House in popular election !!

The Crosse Tste Plank Road.

The Police Jury Of the parish Of Yves.
Baton Ronge at their session of last Mon
day, passed an ordinance to take the sense
Of The people Of that parish upon the ex.
pediency Of levying a tax Of fifteen thou.
sand dollars for the construction Of the
Plank Road TO Crosse Tete.
We do not for a moment doubt that The
people will sanction the proposed tax; in
deed il can hardly be called q tax upon
the people Of West Baton R~ouge-at any
rate it is a tax which will eventually be
returned three fold. BY existing law, mp
on the completion Of this road. the whole
Of Crosse Tete becomes annexed 10 West
Baton Rouge, and becomes taxed not only
for me third OF the spccial tax, bur also
for the taxes Of the parish Of West Baton
Rouge. The value of taxable properly
10 West Baton Rouge is near thirteen
hundred thousand dollars. with but little
room to increase. The value Of taxable
properly on Crosse Tefe is over four hug
dred thousand dollars, constantly i~ncreas-
and more than thrilling within the
past ten years.
Thus il must be clear 10 every one, that
while the tax upon West Bafon Rouge
Is nominally fifteen thousand dollars. In
Crosse Tete pays three thonsand
do;lafs Of it; and ere the whole will be
paid. she will pay nearly, II not as much
BY paying her qnota Of the ordinary
parish taxes. and it must be clear that
while thE lax Of Crosse Tese will be near
" doubled. the tax Of West Baton Rouge
will be lessened.
In addition to this, The tax payer will
entitled TO stock ia The Company; this
will certainly pay eight, and perhaps
per cent-thus giving the lax
