GEN. CAss AND THE ABUsERs OF GENERAL
ScoTT.-The continued stream OF vulgar
abuse, which the Locofoco press and orators
are pouring upon Gen. Scott, seems to have
dsgusted Gen. Cass, as well as many less
distinguished men of that party. In a late
speech in the Senate he said: --.
"No man could be nominated for high
Office, and especially for the highest office,
but the vials Of calumny must be poured out
upon him, without the slightest reference to
his past life, his previous services, or true
character. His history is scrutinzed from
his birth-not to discover his good qualities
and his claim to public consideration, but to
find me subject for attack or misrepresen-
tation. He is, without the slightest scruple,
and without the remotest justification,
charged with crimes that in England would
send him to Botany Bay, and in France to
the galleys; and which, in every country in
the world, should consign him to perpetual
infamy. And that we are not improving is
evident from what is passing around us.''
Again referring to the attacks on General
Scott, in the same speech, he bears honora.

The Wing Reriew-The September num-
bcr of this Review contains several articles
Of the highest merit. During the past yeaI
it has been considerably improved, and now
compares favorably with any work of a like
character in the country. Each number
contains one or more ikenesses of some dis
tiuguished Whig. Afforded as it is, at the
present time, at the low rate of three dollars
per annum, its subscription list should be
greatly increased. Its political feature is
