| Captain Nayor having welcomed General Scott
in a highly eulogstic speech, the latter replied
in an address, of which the Pitsburg Gazette fur.
nishes the following outline
"The General commenced by thanking his fel-
low-countrymen for the high honor they paid 10
him by thstpublic demonstration, which, however
unworthy of it he might feel, was exceedingly
grateful TO his heart. He discaimed all right of
appropriating to himself one-tenth Of the glowing
eulogy of his old and intimate friend Captain
Naylor; but il was proud recollection to him
he had, under the providence Of God, been able
to DO anything in the service Of his country 10
merit the appreciation Of his fellow citizens. He
said that in early life il had been his secret and
cherished desire to do something for his country
which would prove OF advantage to it, and would
call forth the APPRECIATION Of his countrymen. In
der the blessings Of Heaven, and the favor of his
feow-citizens, he had been in some measure sue
cessful but not to the extent Of his youthful aspi
rations or to that Of the fattering tribute of his
friend and companion in arms who had just vel
coined him to this city. He then spoke of Pennsyl-
vania, and expressed his grateful emotions for the
| signal manner in which she had always manifested
her friendship for the humble soldier who had
been SO frequently honored in leading her gallant
citizens 10 battle He reverted to the gallant
soldiers Of Pennsylvania, both regulars and vol
unteers who had stood by him with unfaltering
fidelity and bravery on the fields of Canada and
the heights Of Mexico, and pointed the assembled
throng 10 some Of those who stood around him,
who had shared with him in the fatigues
and perils of campaigns of former years. This
glorious old Commonwealth was the Keystone
of the Federal Arch, and she had always been
true to the Union, and while she remained so-and
he felt assured she always would&-the Union was
safe in the midst Of oil the shocks which might
ever be REASONABLY hurled against it. He loved
Pennsylvania for this, as well as her many other
great virtues for he was himself Union man
not pusation Of his heart but beat for the Union
the whole Union, this great and glorious nation,
which ought and ever would remain one and in
Invisible, His obligations were also great to
Pennsylvania for the unsolicited honor portion
of her people had conferred upon him by SO
unitedly and heartily promoting his nomination
to the sutfrages Of his fellow citizens for the
august office for which he was now candidate,
and if he ever reached that exalted position it
must be by the vote of the people Of this gallant
State
/" In conclusion, he announced his intention Of
remaining in this city until Monday, and ex-
pressed his thankfuness that the discharge Of
his official duties had given him the pleasure Of
meeting his true-hearted countrymen Of Pitts
burg on this occasion. If his official duty had
not required it, he should not have taken Jour-
ney during the Presidential contest; but IL had
been made to him here, by the spontaneous nc
ton of the people, source Of unslloyed gratif-
cation, and would forever be cherished among
his dearest recollections. He invoked the bless
ings Of Heaven upon the people, and took his
leave Of them amidst their loud and enthusiastic
huzzas.
