Gen. Scott's Tour.

The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, neutral
paper, but generally against US, has the follow
ing:
The distinguished Wing candidate for the Pre-
sidency is pursuing his journey to the West in an
transformations manner, avoiding, with great pro-
priety and delicacy all attempts to get up a mere
partisan display, and keeping mainly before him
the professional object of the tour and the execu-
ton Of the mission on which he has been des-
patched by the government But, notwithstand-
ing this avoidance of all electioneering move
ments, it cannot be denied that Gen. Scott is re.
ceived wherever he goes with the utmost enthu.
siasm, and the effect will be to stir up the Wing
party all along the route to an unusual degree OF
spirit. The sight of the manly, commanding
figure Of their leader, will revive all the associa-
tons connected with his name and stimulus
will be given to the campaign which il has hith-
erto wanted in measure.
| 1t has always been the fortune of Gen Scott,
when traversing the country upon any business,
to make decided impression on the people, and
TO accomplish his object successfully. He has
never failed to make capital in some way, and in
this journey his old fortune still adheres 10 him
for he is arousing the masses Of the West TO the
heartiest demonstration in his favor, and oil this
without the employment of the usual machinery
of party politics; for all the tributes of respect
to him seem to have been spontaneous, and with
out any effort on the part Of the usual wire-work
ers of the different localities Welook for impor
tant effects from this tour of the old warrior upor
the aspect of the pending campaign, and, for one
we rejoice ut movement that has infused new
life into n comparatively spiritless canvass. The
Democrats must get up some counter movement
soon, or the great West will be in general blaze

Is the Magruder Letter a Forgery?
Our figures yesterday unfortunately written n
fgures) were wrong, and the error was against
our own argument, strong. as that was. We must
go over the work to-day.
The letter Of Col, Magruder was published in
the Union OH the 18th Of September, and bears
date at San Diego on the 18th of August--thirty-
fue days before
For it to be sent from New York to Gen. Pierce,
to be considered and forwarded to the Union by
him, and to appear in that print preceded by an
elaborate and ingenious editorial, would most
probably require eight days.
1t must then have been written ut San Diego,
md received at New York withm t,cesty-se0e'l
days.
The tenor Of the letter at once suggested TO us
doubt of its authenticity. Other circumstances
having bearing upon the subject soon turned
our doubt into a conviction. That conviction IS
now an involuntary opinion.
We cannot permit ourselves to believe that
Gen Pierce or Gen. Armstrong was accessory to
that act Of the latter we speak with feelings of
the strongest confidence. Yet to show that 1T is
not forgery viii require confirmation strong
as proofs of Holy Writ" 1t is to our mind
very like a forgery or mvacfG

DueIs.

A good deal has been said lately, in the Loco
papers, about duels but we have heard nothing
concerning the Cilley duel While Mr. Clay was
alive, it was alleged against him that he had en-
couraged that affair. Now that he is dead, we
presume no one will deny that his only agency in
It was prompted by desire to prevent the fight.
There was, however, an active participant in
the Cilley duel-a man whom it did not suit to
be second, who " could not look upon blood
and carnage with composure," yet who acted as
go-between, and sought out second for Mr..
Ciley, and induced him TO act rs such. Who
was that man? He was one Of little fame, and
few remember him. Yet the records of the Elk
aiming Committee reveal his name as FRANKLIN
Pierce! 1t has of late become familiar to us. II
is the name of one who has had much to do with
battles, though he never fought one!

The resolution of Mr.. Meriwether, Of Ken
lucky, calling for the amounts of pay received by
Generals Pierce and Scott, gave rise to an inter-
esing debate in the Senate, the Baltimore Patriot
remarks, and Senator Butler, of South Carolina,
spoke in the following terms:
81 sir, deeply regret that this resolution is
introduced. say SO not as partisan, for
stand in position Of comparative indifference,
as Democrat, to the presidential contest, but
am opposed to the election of General Scott yet
think that General Scott might well reply, when
called upon to answer for the public money he
has received, and which has been appropriated
from the Treasury for his services, as Scipio did
when called upon for an audit of his account
This, if not the day, is the month in which won
the battle of Zama.'
1.-THE poverty Of the gallant hero and illustri-
Gus general would of itself be vindicaton against
any culpable imputation upon him and it will
be found that he has rather spent money than
saved it for himself"
Senator Clemens of Alabama, another Demo
crat, said:
g | do not care one straw what amount of mo-
ney General Scott may have received from the
general government I am very sure he has
never received any thing but what he was entitled
to. and believe he has never received half as
much as he deserved"

The British and Pierce Press.

There is SO remarkable similarity of opinions
between the Pierce and the British press in re-
gard to Gen. Scott and free trade, remarks the
Louisville Courier as to leave us in doubt which
is most really British at heart Both hate Scott
intensely both deny that Scott won the battle
Of Lundys Lane; both contend, on the other
hand, that he and the American army were de-
feated both are decidedly in favor Of the Polk
free trade policy of 1876; both think that Eng
land should do our manufacturing for US; both
think Gen. Pierce ought to be elected President
in preference to Gen. Scott. Are not these re-
markabe coincidencesg
