NO right to determine the qussties of Mexican an
nsxstion which the leading Mexicans in that day
proposed through him, to the American govern.
ment aAd people. He was deputed by his country
70 6gA her battles, and not to determine, without
auth ority and without law, what should be the
iss ~ and consequence Of the war between the two
re publcs.
In the disclosures made by General Scott, and in
fhe confession from his own lips, made in that
markable speech pronounced at Sandusky, he has
given palpable evidence that he is utterly unfit to
occupy the high position to which he aspires, and
that his habits, his instincts and his desires,
more congenial to the rank Of despotic aud impe-
rial dictator than to tina. of general in the
American service, obeying the instructions of his
government implicitly and faithfully, as servant
of the American people ought to do. Now look at
the consequences The annexation of Mexico at that
time could have been effected in opposition to the
whole world, peacefully and quietly. We have
seen, in the vast accumulation of wealth, and pow
en- and consequence to the country, and particularly
to this city and the Northern States the results
of the acquisition Of California and its mineral
riches The acquisition Of Mexico, with its multi
tudinous mines of all descriptions would have been
worth more than half dozen CALIFORNIA; in it's re-
suits and in its influence the rapid progress Of
this republic, particularly of New York, New
England, and the Central States.
The assumption Of dictatorial powers by General
Scott in the city Of Mexico, contrary to tho const
ton, and contrary to law and contrary to his in
structons, has deprived this republic Of Of the
most magnificent prizes that offered for its
acceptance. And now only contrast this assumption
on the part of General Scott, in the city of Mexico
with his other opinions in favor of the annexation
of an abolition anti slavery, poverty stricken place
like Canada He is in favor Of the one, probably on
account of its harborng all the runaway slaves from
the South but opposed to the other in spite of the
wealth, the riches, Sne power and the consequence
it would have added to this country. The assump
ton of General Scott in refusing to accept that pro-
position transmit it to his government will delay
the progress Of the country for fifty or q hundred
years.
On all these grounds therefore-his silly bursts
of egotism and nonsense well his uncon sti.u-
tional assumption Of dstatorial powers-we are not
surprised that the intelligence the common sense and
the sagacous discernment Of the people Of Pennsyl
vania and the central States, should repudate oil
support to such candidate for the Presidential
chair put forward he is by the anti progressive
abolition party, and with his sentiments de-
veloped in such speeches and such avowals
as we have just seen him make during his
electioneering expedition in these States. HIS de-
feat next ponth will be overwhelming and awful
