Our cotemporlry Of the Tines worked
himselfup into terrible passion in his last
issue, about-.5tal, he could not himself tell.
That he believes Gen. Scott is responsible
for the extracts published in different papers
against rorei-ners, is utterly impossible, yet
he pretendsto DO go. No nan OF crlinary in
teligence can believe that the string Of ex-
tracts from different papers, portion ofwhich
are doubtless fabricated and without date.
published in the last Times and copied by its
editor from an infamous Eastern sheet, If ne
get the article first haudes and the resPon-
sibli.y o. all O. which is attempted TO be
thrown upon Scott-1O intelis ut man We
say, can or should cc.icye that G-n. Scott
had any hing to 30 with such language, or
that he W uld be guilty OF its use, OF that he
in the slightest manner ever entertained such
feelings towards foreigners. Il an editor
publishes such things, he insults the intelii-
gence of his readers, by trying 10 make tiem
believe what he considers himself too sensible
TO believe. We thiak the. editor of the
Times has mistaken the people he is talking
too, when ne addresses himself TO the Ger
mans and other foreign ci,iz rs of Evans-
vile, If he thinks that sueh course is cal
culared e via h;m tlle.c respect. o. can pre-
JUDGE their judgment ag4.nst Gen. Scott
We ask the eIitor o. the Times, whether it
is common honesty in him, TO publish.such c
string Of dastardly extracts, and call them
"hearty responses to SCOTS infamous letter
by the very man and newspapers he, as we
have said, is rallying now as he rallied them
in IS41,' when they were published, if at ali,
kSore Gen. SCOTS letters appeared! II it Je
honest in his opinion, then opinions Of homes
ty differ 50 materially among men, that when
certain men get TO dabbiing inPoltics they
should be watched.
Now, we intend publishing this outrageous,
infamous letter of Gen. SCOTS, IS /. Is term
ed by his enemies--a letter written eleven
yeats ago, WHEN the acts Of corrupt pol.tic!-
ans in New York short time previous, in
melting certain foreigners to keep native
born Americans from the polls, fred with in
dignation every honest man and press, Whig
and Democratic. Atth1t time the following
letter was written By Gen. Scott. The
Democratic press found 10 fault with it when
published. Ii was then al rigat. They did
not contradict sentiment in it. in fact
many Democratic papers about that tine
changed into Native hmcrican papers, ard
were published as such and read IS suc's.-
The whole extent of Gen. Scots offence
was this one letter, in which he spoke as
three fOurths OF his fellow Citizens tacn fe!t,
in view of cutr4ges winch had been coIIni,-
ted by portion OF the foreisn population
who in their own country "ers doubtless
scornedby theis honest fellow citizens. Now
read it, German lallow-citizens anu judge for
yourseIEyhether such letter, Giving SCOTS
views eleven years ago, and when he has
since changed as every prominent man N tue
country has in that time changed h.s oPin-
lon on some certain subjects, should .7olo al
feet your regards Tor him. Read the last
part of it too, and contrast his ideas on re-
Hgious prescription with those Of GA. Pierce,
or with those which he permit his own STATE
to continue as part Of her las, witaJu, effort
on his part to procure ch-age;
