Gen. Scott and the Presidency,

Gen. Scott and the Presidency
we believe that nine-tenths of the
wings of this county, and even of the
entire State of Tennessee, were, up
TO a very short period since, deter
mined not to support G en-. Scott for
the Presidency, if they are not now
opposed to his election. We believe
further, that four-ffths Of the wings
of this county, who expressed them
selves at all upon the subject before
their National Convention selected
the candidate, avowed q determine
ton not to vote for Gen. Scott, should
he be selected by that Convention
We believe still further, if it was
thought necessary, that we could
prove beyond all cayil, that the Scott
candidate for EIector in this Con-
eressional District said he would not
vote for Gen. Scott, and that one Of
the sub-electors for this county said
he .'coull not stand it,
Who, We ask, has not beard wings
CAV, 81 wont vote for Scott" "He
can't be elected, and the Convention
knew it when they nominated hin"
uGen. Scott won't receive an electo-
raj vote from slave-holding State"
SC. &C., both before and since he be-
came a candidate2 Almost every
one, we presume. Allowing them to
be as sincere as their words indicated
until we are forced to regard them
as susceptible Of being shaped to any
fashion desired by their leaders
bound down by party letters to the
exclusion of patriotic emotions and
desires-we are compelled to two
conclusions: firstly, that there are hun
dreds and thousands of wings in the
State of Tennessee and the whole
South, who will not Fote for Gen
SCOT; and secondly, tha at these wings
e
have adequate cause for the decision
thev have been irresistibly forced to
IN the determination not to vote for
Gen. SCOT. And furth her, so long as
facts remain facts, it ca n not be made
to appear that Gen. $ OH is entitled
to the confidence of an party, save
the abolitionists and free soilers.--
But to the point-to the fhigs who
are and should be opposed to Gen
Saoh You know your opposition
to Gen. Scott had its orig in in the
purest motives-motiYes far above
:narty or selfish considerable ns. And
YOU know further tina 9 en-. Scott
has neither done nor said anything
since you came to the conclusion not
TO vote for him, that is at all calcu-
lated toremove the cause for the OBJ
.jections you entertain to him. You
know he does not claim to have IN
dergone any change. Then if un-
changed, he must be the same unsea-
worthy politician he always has been.
Nav lat us see what he has ever
been, aud what some Of those who
now claim to be his friends have SAID
Of him. Since the age of eighteen,
he has been connected with the regu-
lar army, and most Of that time re-
guided distinguished officer In the
service Of the United States. Before
coming to Mr.. Gentfy's conclusion
that Gen. Scots military fame is the
beginning and ending Of his preten-
sions and claims for the Presidency.
we viIl let a b REF reference to the
only evidence at hand-his many
l.tlers-answer the question: is he a,

Statesman and if SO, an acceptable
pne To- the Southg We commence
with the letter he wrote in 1871, in
which he said he was fired with In
tlignation against foreigners, &c
You remember bis letters in favor Of
the odious bankrupt law, and the de
strlction Of the veto power. In
1913, he declared Congress had the
power under the Constitution toabol-
ish slavery in the District of Colum1
bia, and that Congress ought to re-
ceive, refer, and report on abolition
petitions. Following this, he took
the position that the President o.
the United States should be elected
for six rather than for four years. -
Then comes his letter in favor of an
nexing Canada, New Brunswick, and
Nova Scotia, with their opposition
scorn, and hate Of all republics To
say nothing Of Gen. Scots hating
and loathing slavery, AID that he
would cutoff his arm before he would
extend it in behalf of slavery, We
hi I've the sum total of his abortiyt
efforts to connect himself with thu
civil policy of the country; an(
enough, too, to show a total want o
capacity to fill the office to which hi
Iaspires and that he is not The
statesman for the South. But Of this
we prefer to let his own friends speak
So hear what few Of them have sait
about Lin: Horace Grecly, editor o
the New York Tribune, said in 1913

distinguished whig in East Tennessee
says, "Gen. Scott has vanity enough
to damn seven successive whig min
istrations. Gen. ZdAiceGer, editor 0
the Nashville Banner, said that b,
had no high opinion of Gen, Seott'
"yery sound discre ton or common

friends. Now, listen to Mr.. E1laaor

vention, when ballo ting for candi

sufficient to fill the cup of in

innumerable quarrels Gen. Scott ha
had, brought about BY his own vanity
Ignorance, and overbearing DISPOSE

then with Gen Jackson, then wit

MArRrMoMIAL MAxIMs.-lf y our object
is to be happy, never marry rich woman,
without rank, or lady of rank without
riches the former will taunt you with the
poverty you experienced before marriage,
and the latter will taunt you with the pow
erty you feel after.
If you marry one of a number of sisters,
YOU run some risk of being the slave of the
whole.
If YOU mean to be really domestic
man never marry an ugly woman, even
though she have the wealth of Putus, and
the virtue of an angel.
If your wife be seized with violent fit
of kindness, be very careful what promise
you make while it lasts.
She who pronounces "obey, "most au
dibly before the parson, will be most audi
bic in making you obey afterwards.
If you would live comfortably, alwayi
whistle or laugh while your wife is scolding
Ii your wife boast much of her relations
praise them, but trust them as little a
you can.

Irish witness which we very much like.
Patrick's patience was sadly tried by a
badgering lawyer, nntil at length he retort-
ed in very contemptuous terms upon his
prosecutor. "You seem to think me a
villain % said the lawyer. "Indeed | do,'
was the calm answer Mind now, sir
you are on your oath. Do you think me
a villain :" "Sure you are not anything
else," said Patrick; haven't you been try
ing this hour to make me lose my soul,

Court appeared in his seat at the usual hour

coolly and significantly asked, Is the
