On the. lOth OF March. 1847. Cen. Scott ~

| On the 10th Of March, 1847, Gen. Scott ar
| rived before Vera Cruz. On the 18th of Septem-
Der, 1847, he planted the stars and stripes over
the national palace in the city of Mexico. Within
these six months San Juan DUlloa-the Ameri-
can Gbraltar-was stormed, and the battles of
Cerro Gordo, Contreras, San Antonio, Churubus-
co, Molinos del Rey, and Chepultepec were fought
and won. With less than ten thousand lighting
men he attacked and routed again and again,
thirty thousand of the best troops Of Mexico
posted behind the strongest Notifications, and
fighting with the courage of desperation. No
thing of military achievement recorded in an
cent or modern history can excel the glory Of
that march from Vera Cruz to the cityof Mexico!
Such is brief sketch of one whose life has
been devoted to the service and glory of his
country, and whose patriotism is enlarged enough
to extend to the whole country. Born a Southern
man, reared and educated among Southerners, he
has fought and bled alike for the North and South
and to suppose that he could be willing to do in
Justice to either, would be to declare the last
forty years of his life but lie.
Much abuse has recently been heaped upon
this gallant patriot because he declines giving
written pledges upon the various questions which
may be involved in the approaching Presidential
election. We doubt not that several of the gem
tlemen now prominent before the Democratic
party would cheerfully give pledges of any kind
aohatever, provided they could thereby secure u
nomination 1t is not difficult to make promises,
and it is very easy thing to break them. We
could point to an illustrious example in the his
tory of the Democratic party which occurred but
a very few years since. A certain Presidential
candidate gave written pledge that he was in
favor of the protective SYSTEM and got tariff votes
thereby but as soon as elected, became sudden

Mr.. Buchanan was undoubtedly the first choice

of plundering the public treasury is the incentive
to the union. Since Van Buren's time, when
honest Lewis boys pocketed the public money by
thousands and tens of thousands they have not

after full investigation, pronounced the charges
against Gen. Scott unsustained; and, further,
that "he had been jealous and interchangeable in
the discharge of his duties and that his plan of
campaign was all devised and prosecuted with
energy, steadiness and ability"
In 1888 Gen. Scott was sent by the President
to the Canada frontier, then in state of fearful
excitement on account of the burning of the Caro-
! line within the American territory The whole
! population of northern New York seemed about
to march into Canada to avenge the wrong which
had been done TO the national honor The object
OF the administration was to preserve the peace
between the two nations until pending difficulties
could be settled by negotiation For this pur-
pose Scott was sent to the frontier. There he
labored night and day, passing rapidly from point
to point, experimenting and directing the actions
both Of the military and the civil authorities and
| frequently, along line of eight hundred miles
addressing immense gatherings of the excited citi.
zens. He succeeded in his mission beyond the
expectations of the most sanguine The peace Of
the country was preserved
During the same year he was ordered To the
delicate service of removing the Cherokee nation
beyond the Mississippi. Here he DISPLAYED Mt
once the highest degree of energy, sagacity, and
humanity.
The leading journals of the day were filed
with encomiums upon the conduct of Scott in
| JneSe services. Inc Nauonal lntelgpncpr of
September 9th, 1888, says The manner in
which this gallant officer has acquitted himself
within the last year upon our Canada frontier.
and lately among the Cherokees, has excited the
universal admiration and gratitude Of the whole
nation"
| In 1880 arose the Northeastern Boundary
difficulty. The disputed territory was about to
become the battle-ground between the troops of
Maine and New Brunswick. War was considered
inevitable In this crisis General Scott was
again deputed by the government to calm the
rising storm. His able services on that occasion
showed him to be possessed of the highest talents
as O statesman and dplomatist war con-
sidered inevitable was prevented-the honor of
the country preserved-and Scott returned with
fresh laurels upon his brow and O. the hero of
Lundy's Lane was hailed on all sides rs the
I" Great Pacyfcator."
The services of General Scott in the Mexican
war are of so recent date, and so fresh in the
recolections Of the American people and the
whole civilized world that it is useless to do more
than make q passing allusion.
