The Scott Organ.

The Scott Organ.
We discover that we are to have serions OPP
position to our pretensions as the Scott organ Of
the State of Louisiana. We had not expected
this, and felt assured in our claims by the
spriyate and confidential y communications ad
dressed to US, from time to time, by the (now)
distinguished President of the Scott Association,
our genial and jovial friend, Major j. A. Kelly.
1t is unnecessary for us to vindicate our position
or To demonstrate our standing, but to show to
the unobservant how highly we stand with the
original Scottites, we may state, that we now
hold letter from the worthy President of the
Scott Association, in which he unhesitatingly
advises us, in advance of all our contempora-
ries, that in Cinein natl, Ohio the 18th inst,
strawberries were selling at 20 cts, and cher
ries at 10 cts per quart. This is a commercial
item, which we are confident none of our con-
temporaries have as yet received, per mail or
telegraph, and our able correspondent will ac-
cept our profound acknowledgements for his at
tentions The rest of the letter is, we are con-
fident, eloquent and interesting, but we cannot
decypher one word of it, for the life of us
Yesterday, we also published the last pronuu-
cianiento Of the Scott Association, duly signed
by the worthy Secretary. This, alone, ought
to have given assurance of our confirmed stand
ing with the Scottites.
But there is no reason or magnanimity in this
world. We are not to be permitted to wear our
honors gracefully and peaceably. Our neigh
Dor of the Bulletin Get tn, Brute, that is to
say, oh, thou Brute y pretends, after all said
and done, to poach upon the Scott preserves,
without warrant or invitation from the Scott
Association. The editor is a very clever and
able gentleman, but we protest against his
intrusion, upon the following grounds, to wit
First, We are the only journal recognized by
the Scott Association; the only Journal Zone ex-
cepted) which has ever been favored with the
pronunciamientos of the Scott Association.
Secondly, The proprietor of the Bee has an
pounced that he is ''placed (by l, myself, in
sdiyidually'? at the head of the whg organ of
the State of Louisiana Our neighbour of the
Bulletin will see he is ruled out, and will, there
fore, phase retire with becoming modesty He
is not permitted to enter the arena of political
contest except as bottle holder to our brilliant
neighbar of the Bee.
Thirdly, Worst of all, there is d genuine Rich
mond in the field, Ourwiry, restless, and ener-
getic friend, Marks, has concluded that none of
the wing papers of the city are progressive
enough to suit him entirely, and has established
an organ " &c on his own hook which will
play such music as may not, offend the refined
and educated delcacy of hisear He, g Isaac
4 N. Marks, President Wing STAG Central Execu-
tive Committee has publishede flaming adver-
tisement, notifying our neighbos of the Bee,
Bulletin, and ourselves of the crescent, that
none of us (such is It's virtual fore) can be
whig organ for the campaign, beduse he de-
clares that Sc II. E. johnson, the edtor,'' is at
the head (hear and weep, oh neighAr of the
Bee y of g the Wing Campaign Orgas" Our
friend, /. N. Marks, Esq. is an euterpriIng gen
tleman, and we were confident that he Nuld do
something in his official capacity ito tr up
matters" He does not like" slow eoaches' but
fayors the locomotive; ergo, he has ruled out
the Bee, Bulletin, and Crescent, and proclaAed
to the faithful, s'the Wing Campaign OrgA.'
He is perfect Louis Napoleon with the pre-,
and puts any journal under indirect interdiG
ton, at his own good pleasure. With such wisa
celebrity has he acted, that numbers of the Wing
State Central Executive Committee-in fact
the larger portion-assure us that they do not
know how that ''the whig organ for the cam
paign'' came into its presumed semi official ex-
istence. We protest against being mercilessly
'trubbed OUT" If he only had the signature OF
the Secretary to his documents we should feel
overwhelmingly annihilated.
There is another paper [the Delta) which in
terferes with our pretensions to be the Scott or
gan. What business has it here at such time
But the other day it Published a series OF Gen,
SCOTS letters, which was most insidiously de-
ceptive-several well known and important doc
uments being most singularly omitted.
When the President Of the Scott Association
returns, we shall procure from him counter
proclamation to the advertisement Of Mr. Marks
We know Mr.. Ms paper will be profound in
argument. witty in repartee, amusing in anec.
dote, and eloquent in appeal; but we do not
think our neighbors of the Bee, Bulletin, OF
ourselves of the Crescent, are yet ready fol
total humiliation, and, in the extremity of des
pair, we cry, ''Kelly to the rescue!''
