This document has been quite extensively
circulated throughout thevhOle country and
and for fear that our whig friends are not
quite satisfied with their candidate, We rec
ommeud the following articles from ParsOn
Btewnlow's whig. which we ihd in that pa
per Of the 2Ist ult. We recommend them 10
the Scot and Graham Clubs, of this county,
if any such can be found; -
Brownlow's Life Of Gen. Scott.
While Greely and Seward, and other ABB
olitiouisls at the North, and ofhce-seekers in
the South are publishing and circulating
their pictorial lives of Scott, We have DEEM
ed it proper to issue brief life Of the Gen
eral, which all can take the time to read and
in which We shall exhibit the. .facls, emitting
the pictures. The people of the United States
have not forgotten his almost innumera-
| Bile ouarrels, he has had with brother officers
of the army, and others. He began his mil
itary career, us a Coptain, and by quarrel
ling with at least half of ths officers with
whom he was associated; tl.l' at length, he
was suspended from the army, for one year
for defaming superior officer, and applying
to his own use, portion Of the funds due
Ibis company After he was reinstated, he
struck up an unprovOked quarrel with Gen
Ieral Wilkerson, and published several most
lbitter and rancorous assaults on that brave
ard meritorious officer. His next quarrel
was wi h Gen. jackson, and our readers will
recollect that he came off second best in that
contest, He next pitched into personal
difficulty with Coy. Clinton, and came out
of that disgraeed; having been posted as a
liar and coward. His next quarrel was
4. with Gen, Macomb, in which he came of
second best again, but not until the gallant
old Macomb had involved him in the guilt
: of lying. He then pitched into seven
years quarrel with the brave, generous, and
: Imeritorious old Gaines, and this war was
carried on in pamphlets, until Gen Gaines
proved him liar and calumniator by the
certificates, and sworn to evidence OF arme
officers. His next regular built quarrel was
with President Adams, his personal and po
litical friend. His conduct towards Mr.
I Adams, was so malicious and outrageous,
that he ordered the Secretary Of War 10 sus-
pend him from his command, as the follow
ing letter will show. - .....
