Feilo'c Citizens: am not on political mis-

cue and went off IN new tack) / love that
Irish brogne-I have heard it before on many
battle felds. and wish to hear It man, times

am not on Z political mission Oh no.
Scott is not OH a political mission, not he; he
couldnt think Of such a thing But ia there :
white man in the United States who does not
understand the object Of Gen. SCOTS mission
travelled over the country before. but no polit-
ical gatherings saluted him and he made no
speeches. He is quite gracious now and full
of fighting battles over again. But his barney
to the Irish is rich. He was once fred with,
indignation at the brogue; but then Irish votes
were not wanted. Now he loves to hear it
He once never intended that tie Irish should
vote at all, but he didn't succeed at that, and
he and his friends are green enough to fancy
they can hat:er Pat into supporting him.
1t is Illuminating to see an old man travelling
over the country catering to classes of men for
votes. The Communicating chief of the army
on an eleetioneering tour, like Prince President
Louis Napoleon
The object of the present mission is scarcely
disguised. The Pittsburg Post says:
at was stated on the street yesterday that
Gen. +. Kay (who is Gen. F. Kay?) had recei
we'd despatch from Gov. johnson, Announcing
the fact hat myself and Cen Scott will ar.
rive the city at IL o'clock at night. We
may, therefore, anticipate a little, and presume
that myself and the General arrived in our city
at midnight last night"
Here is Scott and his right bower in politics.
Ex-Governor johnson. He is the same man that
vetoed the bill repeating the multiplying act Of
the State of Pennsy lvania-the act forbidding
the use of the iails of the State to confne runa.
way negroes. He is an abolitonist, and run
for Governor under the Scott and abolition flag.
Now he pioneers Scott III his peregrinations
through the country.
The character of this military expedition
does not need exposure; it is pain on its face;
/ but Gen. Scott does not even keep up the pre-
| text, if the following account be correct:
GEN. ScoTT THE STUMP.-Accounts from
Hollidaysburg inform that Gen. Scott IN his
speech at that place on the 18th inst, appealed
to his hearers to support him as a candidate
for the presidency. 80 what a fall was there
my countrymen." We thought that "Old Chip
had something else in view, besides the exam

-Penasyuanan
That has more honesty in it than the speech
at Cleveland. If he had asked the Irish to vote
for him it would have been more soldier like,
at least, than to beslaver them with. his love Of
the brogue.
Next winter i: the pay accounts of Gen. Scott
be exposed you shall see some thousand or two
! for expenses on tour of military duty; other
wise an cectioneering excursion.
The Scottites ought to reflect that nineteen
twenteths of the voters can read and write in
this country; so that pretexts and picture books
sink rather low to fish up votes.
A candidate parading about over the country
exhibiting himself in epauetts and feathers is
not very edifying object to the people of the
Country Democrat.
