Robert EarieS. Esq.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer,
who is making tour of the state, writes from
Pittsburg as follows concerning the above uam-
ed gentleman, the chief Engineer of the New
Portage Road. This tribute of respect from
political opponent, exhibits the high esteem in
which men are held by both parties, who trans
act the business entrusted to them in a compe-
tent manner.
ssAt the Summit, took board Robert
Faries Esq, Chief Engineer of this mountain
division. Mr.. FAIRIES has been employed by the
State to lay out and superintend the construc-
ton of new track to avoid the inclined planes
This new track has been making considerable
progress. 1t will be very important State i'm
provemeut. 1t win ultimately be great saw
ing to the State. 1t ought to be pushed to a
speedy completion. These inclined planes are
not only expensive, but tedious and dangerous
Mr. FAIRIES remarked that he had been en-
through the State for twenty-six years. Dur
ing considerable portion of this time, he has
been in the service of the State.
We once heard bis father, who is a resident
of your city, say that he had sent his son Rob-
ert out with his scale and compass, to work his
way. They have worked well. They have ear
ned for their owner reputation as a faithful,
efficient and successful engineer. They have
done much for the State in marking out her ca
nal and railway courses.
There are few men who have been so long in
the public service of greater reliability, end of
n more unsullied reputation than Robert FAIRIES
The direction of this important work of cons
tructirg new railway across the mourtain
could not have been committed to better I.qne'=

Scott's Native Letter.

| The Ohio Statesman, in commenting upon this
letter, has the following severe exposure of its
statements:
''In the first place, Gen. Scott charges base
falsehood on the foreigners. They never started
the ''RAILYING" cry, ''Down with the natives. ~
There is not a word of truth in it. his cry
was instigated by the ruthless and wicked acts
of the NATIVES themselves, and American Iorn
as well as foreign born citizens united in tie cry
Down With SUCH principles, and tue men adyoc:
eating them.
':SecOndly, General Scott and two others "sas
down at tie ASToR House," ''in my parlor," to
rally an ''AMERIcAN PARTY" This was done to
fight Mr.. Van Buren, but Harrison's election
secured the natives brief triumph We gre
rendering into English Scott's words, as We uu-
derstand them.
"Ihardty, Gen. Scott was for extending the
Period for naturalization; afterwards he inclin-
ed to total repeal of all laws on that subject.
thus cutting foreigners off from ever becom;ny
citizens
"Fourthty, Gen. Scott FULLY concurred in the
PRINCIPLES of the philadelphia movement.'-
The PBnA DELPnIA MOVEMENT was the one that
resulted in numbering Irisbmen and burning
churches and libraries.
sFgfthlJ, Gen Scott did not wish the war a.
gainst foreigners to be confined to one RELIGIOUS
sect alone, but ALL foreigners, of every grade,
condition, aud religion, were to come rnder his
enathemas.
s'!Sirthlg, He wished the GREAT WORK of ma
tivism success, and dubbed the co-workers in
the infamy PATRIOTS and then reposed on the
honors he had thus achieved.
''This is truly the most extraordinary letter
we ever saw coming from man aspiring to the
presidency. 1t would be disgrace to tn . dark
est ages of the world, when man fought man
simply because he was born in different cline
from himself-when rivers aud mountains were
enemies of men because they separated them

A New HAMPSHIRE WHIG.-A Democratic ex-
change says: There affipites IN principles
as well as in matter hence it was perfectly ua-
tural that A. +. STEVENS, who labored and
spoke at public meetings in New Hampshire, in
favor of retaining the Religious Test in the con-
stitution of that State, should be sent to the
Wing National Convention to vote for Winfield
Scott the Wing nativist, who was in favor of a.
polishing all laws in regard to naturalization
and who says he is now in favor of law, where
by at most only in t,centy of those who fee
to our shores from foreign oppression, would be
allowed to become citizens. Such are the ne
cessities character of Wbiggery and its candi-
date, that it inevitably inActs injustice on some
class.
