Gen. ScoH-His Personal Character, and
Public Services ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS assaults
upon Gen. Scott by the more abandoned and I'M
scrupulous of his political opponents, has brought
out powerful and interesting article from the
Philadelphia North American, from which we
extract as follows:
Conspicuous and brilliant rs the military re-
nown of Winfield Scott is acknowledged to be
all over the civilized world, the virtues of mer-
CIV, of humanity, of Christian forbearance; and OF
exemplary liberation, which have been insepara-
blv associated with all its splendid triumps, do
him even higher honor, and shed more lustre up
on his name.
"History in no age, and in no country, presents
the name ofa commander, comparing in achieve
ments and position with Gen. Scott, whose NOR
al reputation, can challenge a severer scrutiny.
From the time of his entrance into the army un-
til this day, Notwithstanding all the temptations
bv which he was surrounded, and the opportunl-
ties which were thurst upon him, not one bIem-
sh has tainted his character, or one lmputaton
dimmed the brightness of his honor.
For the first time in period reaching near
" to the far limits ofhalf century, have the fam
ishing boodhounds ofparty tracked him into the
virtu0us seclusion of domestic life, and howled
at his doors with venomons vituperation. But
they have only deepened the popular sympathy,
and excited more earnestly the Indignation OF
the country. Gen. Scott is as poor to day as
when he received his first commission from the
hands of Thomas jefferson. Sharing the dan
gers and vicisitudes the common soldier in the
ranks, he has freely given from his own purse
whatever was needed to console thesoldiers con-
dition. On the frontiers of Canada; amidst the
ravages ofthe cholera: in the hammock ofFlorida.
and among the wounded in Mexico, he was the
friend and the nurse of the dying and afflicted.
He, the great commander, could find time e:
nough from his oppressive duties to visit the sick
and to smoothe the pillow of the suffering; to
give to humanity what others were giving to
pleasure and selfgratication. Such things
must be remembered. They impress themselves
indelibly upon the popular heart, and will be an
swered with grateful pulsations.

Gen. Hoors Opinion Of Gen. Scott.-We
commend the following extract from General
Woods speech at Louisville, to the careful pc
rusal Of our Democratic friends. The gallant
General, although a democrat, knows SCOTS
services to the country, and does not hesitate to
do him justice:
Permit me to return you my very warmest
thanks for the kind reception you have extended
to me since | entered your State. / am not
vain enough to believe that these loud cheers
which hear are given for any merit Of my own.
They ascend in consequence of my association
with my iliustrious chief abiding to General
Scott that man whose name awakens thrill
in every bosom, and the memory of whose deeds
calls forth the shouts of assembled thousands in
every city of the Union. Those deeds adorn
the brightest pages in our military annals"
