BY command Of Major General Scott
Ii. l.. SCOTT, A. A. A G.,
Well.does an able writer in the Boston Post say of
the amented and chvalric Worth, here sneered at. and
subsequently, deprived OF his sword and his command:
General Worth was son of Massachuse and the
Chevaer Bayard of the army The greatest gori-
GUS and most sangunary battle fought the CONT
del Rey The carnage terrible. ia forty minutes nearly
eight hundred fell dead wounded and dying the field
they could drive the Mexcans from their enrench-
ments and the ramparts of the fortress Moline del Rey
General Scott entirely deceived that fortress He
thought tia foundry General Worth and the
ginecrcoud not persuade him the contrary; and with
that view he General Worth with his division, sus-
tanned by Cadwaaders brigade, only brush Away the
enemy But the glorious achievement brought down the
petty jealousy of the tall hero upon the gallant Worth and
hence the order No. 3i9-eiced by remarks pub
ished in a newspaper the United States in ausion
to the acts of Worth in the valley OF Mexico"
1t has often occurred to u.s. since the present campaign
has opened, what George Washington would have done
had he been nominated President Of the thirteen colonies

not have left him moment to decide what the right
course to adopt No man who ever lived had jus,er
idea Of dignity OF character than he. and he would have
instantly interpreted the criticism 10 which his acceptance
OF such nomination, at the head of his troops, would
have subjected EVEN HIM Norman ever more keenly appre-
cated or understood what good and good
and he would have decided at that such nomina.
ton offered to and accepted by the head OF armies
naturally, necessarily and happily inconsistent with the
whole spirit OF free institutions When be gave up
the baton of military powerwhen he laid aside the bu
and the blue-when he sheathed the sword which had
been drawn in defence OF the pered liberties Of in
FAINT republication, and then only he consented 10 listen
to the appeals of his counrynen, and TO accept their sa
frages.
General Scott and his friends will not be affected by
the example OF Washington; but the people will draw
the contrast, and make the comments which the
SO eloquently suggests
