CLOSING UP THE RANKs.-We learn that one
fine evening last week, at private" room in
the Aston House, committee of Gen. Scott's most
Industrious friends met and had long consultation
upon the ways and means Of securing the western
counties Of Pennsylvania, and the Western Reserve
of Ohio, from the grippe of the free soilers We
also informed, by the Washington Union, that
Truman Smith and his agents are very busy there,
in raising contributions from the Office holders Of
the several executive Departments. Pat the two
movements together, and we may form guess at
the probable disposition Of the sinews Of They
are closing up the ranks.

FRED DOUGLASS AND HORACE GREELEY With
amusing ippudence, he sometimes tells Q good deal
Of truth particularly In reference to the nsincerity
and hypocrisy OF those white abolit bnis.s who
identify themselves with antslavery principles for
the purpose Of influencing the coored vote, and the
honest portion Of the white section of the party in
favor of whig or democratic candidates in State,
Congressional, and Presidential elections. In q
speech Of elk columns delivered at Ithaca, and pub
lished in his paper Douglass shows up the anti
slavery wings and Horace Greeley in admirable
style. He says" There is something really anus.
ing in the evolutons Of the anti slavery wings who
have brought themselves to vote for the whig can
didates. When we tell them that by voting for
General Scott they vote for the Baltimore platform,
they say--'Not at sl; We vote for the candidate,
not the platform Douglass Justly attributes the
authorship of this theory to Horace Greeley, "a
man." he says, whose moral convictions arc al
ways kept beyond hearing distance behind his po-
ltical action" In Greeley's dcfying, repudia ing
ard splitting upon the platform, he says it is like
splitting to windward, it comes straight back in Gree
ley's face" The gist Of the whole speech is CON-
tanned in the fole wing pithy extract:-
Upon this theory, the ~hig lavehoders may vote for
Scott because be il the platform and the whig abo-
oEste may for him because he - too GOOD 10 be
the platform and because he will cheat the South II he
thali be elected Now hold this to be desperate piece
OF political dishonesty eating he deri rhih piousp

two individuals in the United States, to Gen. Al
monte, during the Mexican war The author of one
Of them, Mr. Lewis II Putnam, comes out boldly,
and talks of subvertiDg the American government
easily if it " his oyster" which he was about
to open aud devour. Mr.. p is gentleman Of color,
and is of the leaders Of the black statesmen and
politicians who infest New York and elsewhere and
occasionally create sensation in meetings and con-
ventions in the Shiloh Presbyteria church, and
other places in this city The author of the other 10
evidently of lighter hue-a man Of education know
LEDGE of experience and of close information in po
ltics and State affairs. He has had the sense to
guard against the contingency which has occurred,
of the publication Of his correspondence, by with
holding his name. He is good whig, thorough
going aboitionist, and . man of unbounded philan-
thropy The two letters speak for themselves, aud
show the feeling which existed between two classes
in the country in common. AT least, they fair
opponents of those of two of the classes and perhaps
these as good rs many of them.
The history Of the letters is rs follows -
When the American army entered Mexico in
ISa7, the Post Office was seized, and the letters
found there were examined Amongst them were
many from people IN the unite0 StaIeS 10 mex
lean functionaries, especially to Almonte. This
individual was OF the time, and had been for
some months previously, under surveillance, by
the order of Santa Anna, and therefore failed
to receive his correspondence. The mass of it
was sent up to Gen Scott, who retained or
destroyed it. The two letters which we publish to-
day escaped this fate, and think may be interest
ing to the lovers Of history, especially of that Of the
Mexican war which, some hope, will prove the
mother Of Presidents for some time to come.
We should like the rest Of this interesting
respondence, and Gen Scott should bring
it out, if he has not destroyed it. 1t would give
very fair idea Of the estimation in which his exploits
were held by some of his supporters, as well as Of
their own patriotism.

We do not believe they will succeed. No popular

for this prospective advantage they do not hesitate

GEN. SCOTS SPEECHES We have preserved
all the speeches Of Gen Scott in his late expedition,
"by the nearest route," in search Of q site for
military hospital at the Blue Licks in Kentucky.
They amount to fhy.three in number, on the
way on. and on the way back, or one for every
week in tho year They are not so magni6-
cent or convincing as the speeches Of Henry Clay,
nor SO profound, or grand great as the speeches
of Daniel Webster; they are not so elaborate or
classical MS the speeches Of Kossuth-they are
hardly upto the standard Of Zachary Taylor's cam

therefore, that they may be appropriated to the best

badly, publish them all in a lump, in day or two

The AFFAIR or THE CRESCENT CIrY-CArrAts
PoRTIs INSTRUCTIONS. According to our tee
graphic adyices from Washington, Capt Porter,
late in command Of the Crescent City steamer, has
been blest with any quantity of good advice, in re-
ference to commercial relations with Spain and
Cuba, from the mouth of Mr. Kennedy himself, the
Secretary Of the Navy, and the author Of . Horse
Shoe Robinson" AS fer as we are informed Of the
import Of these instructions, Captain Porter's pro-
tests against the late outrageous exclusions Of his
ship from Havana are not approved Of by Mr.. Ken
neoy. On the contrary, the Captain eneral is jus
titled as having the right, under the circumstances
to refuse admission to the Crescent City Well, in
a few days the ship will return to Havana, and if
Mr. Smith ia not board, we shall understand it at
once Captain Porter win return to the command
Of his regular ship, the Georgia bat that is of
material consequence. The issue to be met is the
right Of the Crescent City to enter the port Of
Havana with Purser Smith on board. We shall
see how that issue is settled. Perhaps il will be
cvaded-perhaps. Mons V9yoas.
