ca;urist paper Of New York, has got out political
caricature, which is likely good deal of
ention in Washington an elsewhere, because it con-
veys good many though lis without any words Gen
Scott is represented as driving team, four in hand
- two horses with black (human) heads, thick lips
&c. and two with white human heads, one of which
| looks somewhat like the Hon. MIR. Mangum, Senator
| from North Carolina The General figures in his ha
and feathers Towering pumesl and in the full livery
of Uncle Sam. In the carriage, which is oper
one. is the Hon. Frederick Douglass, and the Hon
| VIM. Seward,-the first with a happy face, ant
| pearly teeth, shining through thick black lips, ant
| the other cool, co>ey, cunning, enjoying the rih
graciously with his companion. AS out goers OIL
foot, are four or five little cn0ecs, nearly in III
livery of nature, going it with a perfect abandon
over the joyous spectacle exhibited by the rider all
driver.
