The Recruiting Letter of Gen. Scott.

We see that Schuyler Hamilton, Captain by
Brevei. United States Army" publishes i'll the Ma
tonal Intelligencer, a communication contradict
ing the statement that Gen. Scott issued letter to
his Recruiting Officers in 1s47, containing the in
structions not to enlist foreigners, etc. Wewould
simply state now, that we copied the statement
from paper OF high standing and responsibility,
the Richmond Euquirer.-W Wilmington, IN. c.
Journal.
This is pretty game. The Enquirer copied a
statement purporting to be from the Concord Dem
ocrat of oath Junc-afirming that General Pierce
denounced the i-slavery resolutions Of the New
Hampshire Legislature. which the Virginia Legs
lature kicked out of doors. Upon an examination
the copy of the Democrat for that date was found
not TO contain the Statcment-and we are assured
that it never appeared in that paper at all. Thus
cornered the Enquirer informed us that it copied
the statement from some "respeetaJle paper
| name not recollected.
The Portsmouth Democrat published para
graph in which General Scotts name was forged
and substituted for General Pierce's. The Re-
public exposed the forgery, and called upon the
Democrat for its authority. The Democrat gave
the Enquirer-and the Enquirer has never inform
ed the public where it got it from-nor, indeed,
that it was a forgery!
Now, we have another case. The recruiting or
der being denounced by Captain Hamilton an
absolute and unqualified falsehood-no such order
having ever been issued by General Scott, nor, as
he is informed, by the authorities in Washington.
The Wilmington paper gives the Enquirer-"a pa
per of high standing and respectabilily'-as its au-
thor for the publication. The Enquirer has not
even informed its readers that the truth of the or
der has been denied
Ex- President Van Buren, has recently publish
ed letter to further the election of Messers Pierce
and King. The New York Express, in speaking
of it, says
Martin Van Buren, is out in another letter fol
"Pierce and King" He ventures in this last let
ter of his, to discourse upon the theme of miltari
heroes" and calls zeal for military men and mil
tary achievements an "infatuation." Such a let
ter coming from one who basked in the sunshine
of Gen. Jackson's military greatness, and who
could never have bee n President without Gen. Jack
sons influence,-from one whom Gen Jackson Sc
lected for seat in the Cabinet, and whom he ap-
pointed as minister 10 England-who walked be-
tween the legs of the military Colossus during the
eight years that he President Of the United
States, as pigmy betw cen the legs OF giant
who fatered all his vanities and pandered to all
his passions and weaknesses about the coolest
piece ofimpudence we have seen in the world OIL
political wonders.

The Lennon slave Case.

To he Editor Fl The v L. TrtbHHsi
VIII YOU oblige few OF your readers with
an opinion upon tie following supposition viz;
Had Rrtsh cruiser been aware Of The presence OF
the slaves On board of the steamship City Of Richmond
could her commander legally board the steamship when
more than three miles from land and consequently
the high seaf in neutral water free the slaves ana cap
tire the steamship having slaves on bcardr
" No Sir British cruiser has no right
to board or capture any regularly documented
American vessel on the high seas, and call her
to account for an alleged violation Of our laws
or any other. An American ship at sea, with
regular, honest papers, is part of the Ameri-
can Republic, and no more subject to British
supervision and discipline than the island of
Nantucket or the peninsula of Florida. A
British cruiser boarding o vessel claiming TO be
entitled to the protection of our flag, does so at
his own peril if she proves an African SLAYER,
she is outlawed by our Government, and is law
ful prey; but should she prove an honest ship,
the captain must smart for the trespass. Our
Government recognizes and protects the Slave
trade between one Of our States and any other
not between the Coast of Africa and any
where else.-We are not stating what in our
opinion should or should not be, but the actual
state of things, as we understand it. Ed.
