The Union newspaper says that he has re-
ceived over 100000 for over forty years
of hard and distinguished public services -
What if he has! That paper during Polk i
Administration, received sum about equal
to that, and under the late law of Congress
will receive a greater sum. We are willing
to submit the question to the people-"1s
the Union newspaper, for four years print
ing, entitled to a greater compensation than
Gen. Scott for his forty odd years of SER
vice!
These Locofoco spoi-seekers are terribly
troubled when man who is not of them, re-
ceives just compensation for his services,
because it leaves the less for themselves.
A SOLDIERS TESTIMONIAL Ltbeller Bran
ded.--We invite attention to the following
speech of a gallant soldier. 1t was made
at Scott meeting in Baltimore city few
days since, after speech of Gen. Coombs
1t is u signal rebuke ofthe miserable libel
in the Eagle that "no worthy soldier of the
Mexican War will vote for Gen. Scott -
who dare say that member OF the "Volti-
guers'' was not worthy soldier! The fol-
lowing is the report of one present at the
meeting ....-
"But, although the hour was late, the in
terest of the meeting was not yet at its
height. A soon as Gen. CooMBs had ta-
ken his seat, a plain, but intelligent looking
man, who had listened to him attentively
throughout, came forward and took the
stand.
He gave bis name as ]. w. WALKER, and
declared himself frunkly, to have been, and
to be yet, decided Democrat, but that he
was now de,srmined to uote for Winfield Srott
for ths Prcadtncyof the U. States. He had
brought himse,fto tn . ID, determination, ,tecau, c
he Lnrlc The man. He had followed him from
Vera Cruz to the National Palace of Mexico
and had fully observed him in all his actions
and carefully studied his noble character
1t has been mentioned, said Mr.. WALKER
to njure Gen. ScoTT, that the officers OF the
Army were not anxious for his election
Let that be as it may, the men, the plain and
humble soldiers like himself, are for him
THey will not see him abused, without de
Tending him. They know how to appreciate
his true gallantry, his patriotism, his human.
! ity, and his open-hearted kindness TO then
in time fneed. Mr.. WALKER here gave
very interesting account OF his expert
lence in the great Mexican Campaign, an,
spoke in high terms of his associates in tn
Voltiguer Regiment.
Among the incidents he related, were tn
following: When the great works of tn
enemy had been carried at Chepultepec
Gen. SoOTT came in at the moment of vic
tory, and was received with trcmendou
shouts He raised his arms, and exclaimed
| to us: "Oh, lay brdUe Rites, hOto / than
! yoR! You HAVE BEEN TRIED BY FIRE AM
BLOOD, AND COME OUT STEEL! WiSh that
had arms long enough to clasp you all in on
,carm embrace Of joy and gratitude for you
noble deeds this days. ''Ycs, gentlemen,
continued Mr.. w "that is the way he spok,
to us. That is the man who has been so a
bused, and charged with all manner of i'm
proprieties. That is the man who they sa!
is no orator. Now have you ever heard o
any man who could have said that better
or more appropriately, in fewer words!'
AS to General PIERCE, he (WALKER) hat
nothing to say. 1t was not his place t.
speak against any man, for he was no politi
clan. He. knew very little about Pierce
and had seen little or nothing OF him whilt
in Mexico. But he te!tjHst right about Gen
SCoTT, and fell sure Of going right, (althougl
he was Democrat, and the General was
Whig) in going for him out and out. He fel
that ScoTT was competent to make splen
did President, not merely in a military poin
of view, but in all respects. After othe
remarks delivered in the same fervent strain
that engaged everybody's attention and ad
miration, he concluded by recitirg som,
verses he had composed in Mexico about th
VoAiguer'S and General Scott WALLER
speech was thrilling one, and made sen
sation. He was cordially welcomed int
the ScoTT ranks, and is now fully cnlistet
once more under his ever conquering leader
under whom he says he feels that we arr
sure to triumph"
! VINO WILL YOU BELIEvE!-Dr. Olds stat
cd in his speech here that Gen, Scott wa
under the influence Of such men as Sewor'
and Archer. '' '"'.Fr''t.N
Gen. Quitman says-"That is mere stuff
| know the man, and he will be controlle
by nc one contrary to his own convictions o
what is right"
The latter gentleman is pretty goo
Democrat, the former a first rate Dema
gogue. The latter says he knows Genera
Scott, the former says he does not. Whicl
will you believe. For our part, we will take
the word of Gen. Quitman, in preference to
that of DR.. Olds. s a.s
