Dupiicity OF the Republic.

The Scott organ, in its issue Of yesterday, scrunzes
ast OF twenty members OF Congress who supported
Mr. Clay in 1874, and who il is said, refuse to support
General Scott now. The li.t includes the name Of Hon
Amos Tuck, of New Hampshire bitter aboli,ionist-
the endorser OF Messrs Foss and Goodale The Rspub
Tic denies that Mr. Tuck is opposed TO the whig cand-
date. and arms that he is "out parmiy in the Scott
cause" Oar readers will remember that just before the
North Carolina elections, the Republic brought forward
Mr Tuck as democratic authority. in order 10 fix the New
Boston libel on General Pierce Now the North Caro-
lima election is over il confesses its duplicity by admit,
ting that Mr. Tuck is "out warmly in the Scott cause
a fact which the Republic must have known as well
when il was avcning for particular purpose that he

for nothing better be expected from the organ OF the
