GEN. ScorT AND FATHER RIrcHIE.--
The following extract from, the Wash
ington Union of 1s4S-shortly aftor the
Wing nomination for President--shows
what opinion "Father Richie" enter
tanned at that time for Gen. Scott, the
Wing nominee in 1852: M
Gen. Scott is an older soldier than
Gen. Taylor, ono who is at least equally
If not more accomplished, and who has
distinguished himself by more, and as
brilliant battles during the war--who
captured Vera Cruz and the castle, and
capital Of Mexico, and one, too, rrto has
more qualities Of a cipaia,s, and is better
known as a Whig.
The people endorsed Gen. Taylor's
qualifications by noble majority, and
they will do still more for Gen. Scott,
''who has more qualities of civilian,
and 10 better known as a Whig.f

A gentleman having engaged to fight

the country, who was an Irishman, to
pick ont two Of his best, and bring them
to town. Paddy having made his selec-

brought them with him in the mil
coach. When they arrived, it was found
that upon their journey they had almost

Paddy was severely taken to task for

MAJOR SAVAGE, man well known 10
the history Of this country, and for his
influence over the Indian tribes on the
upper waters Of the San Joaquin, was
killed, it is supposed BY Americans, on
Monday 10th. His body was found with
three bullet holes in II. His assassina-
tion is supposed to have been induced
by o Jealousy of bis profitable intercourse
with, and influence over the Indians.
The whites have been striving ever
since the consummation Of the Indian
treaties, to obtain possession Of the rs-
servations. One Of them was extensive
ly cultivated by Major Savage, who
acted as kind Of Indian agent. His
inter eats and those OF Che whites thas
conflicting, he has fallen victim.

Letter from Gen. Scott.

Democratic papers have pushed to thu
Utmost the idea that Gen. Scott ha
prejudices against foreigners designing
to become citizens. A sufficient reply
to the aspersion is given in the following
letter from the Old Hero, in which tht
question is fairly and nobly met: aH
WASHINGTON, May Goth, l848.
DEAR SIR I'm reply to your kind
letter of the 9Th instant, take tho plea
sure in saying that grateful for the tot
partial estimate you place on my pub.
lie services, you do me no more than
justice in assuming that ! entertain
"kind and liberal views towards our
naturalized citizens. =" Certainly il
would be impossible for me to recon.
mend or support any measure intended
to exclude them from just and full
participation in all civil and political
rights now secured to them by our re-
publican laws and institutions.
It is true that in case of unusual
excitement some years ago, when both
parties complained of fraudulent prac-
ices in the naturalization Of foreigners,
and when there seemed to be danger
that native and adopted citizens would
be permanently arrayed against each
other in hostile factions, was inclined
to concur in the opinion then avowed
by leading statesmen, that some modi>
fication of the naturalization laws might
be necessary in order to prevent abuses,
allay strife, and restore harmony be-
tween the different classes Of our peo-
Pile. But later experience and refec-
tion have entirely removed this impress
sion and dissipated my apprehensions.
In my recent campaign in Mexico o
very large portion Of the men under
my command were your countrymen-
Irish, Germans &c. witnessed with
admiration their zeal, fidelity and valor,
in maintaining our flag in the face Of
every DANGER vieing with each other
and our native-born soldiers in the same
ranks, in patriotism, constancy, heroic
daring. was happy to call them bro
theirs in the field, as shall always be
happy to salute them as countrymen at
home.

truly, WINFIELD SCOTT.

| franklin PIERCE AGAINST THE WEST
The Indianapolis Journal says, since
the Democratic Convention has forced
upon the west the nomination Of Frank
lin Pierce for President, it becomes the
duty Of the press to let the people know
his hostility to their inter ests, and his
partiality for bis own section. The fol-
lswing, among numerous other votes,
while he was in the Senate of the Uni
ted States, speaks in a language not to
be misunderstood. TSee Senate Journal,

following:
"And be It further enact ted, that the

went into the fight with very large
plume, and was so active and earnest
in hurrying on and encouraging his msn

other-that the enemy thought he was
little fussy. Scott with his tall form,
large plume. and dashing gallantry, was
conspicuous mark for the bullets Of.

under him, was shot in the side, after
wards in the shoulder, and finally had
his favorite feathers shot off, After that
