The early and the more recent friends Of Gen.
SCOTT are all united in one cOmmOa cause-in
efectiDg the same glorious end the promotion OF
the man who above all other men living, is
entitled to the gratitude of the American people.
There beats not heart that is capable of gait
tude which does not expand with kindness aud
lave towards that noble and generous Old Hero.
His majority in this County and State will be
rery large after the old-fashionedb acksOn style.
Pleuse forward to me 10y Adams's Express one
thousand copies of The Campaign L5e Of

A Widows Tribute to Gen. Scott.
"A Fss.~ n n A. " TS.n....

Sra; Since / see in some of the lour-
rails hostile to Gen. Scott an attempt to diSpsr-
oge his personal qualities, especially his bearing
toward subordinates, | beg leave to state through
your columns what ktow on the subject:
That the victor on so many battle-felds is
great warrior, no American can deny, without in
curing contempt. That he has proved himself
sagecious and successful pac6cator no man OF
common sense and common honesty will question.
But he is distinguished for traits still more rare
and ennobliDg-strict impdrtiality and magHa-
nfmity sterling qualities, which have seldom ad-
ded their lustre to guild the chair Of State since
Washington relinquished it. To prove his claim
10 the first attribute, can say with truth, that in
the years have been familiar with army aifiirs,
have never, in single instance heard him accu ed
OF tayoring officer OF the expenee Of another.
OF his mdgRdHinity | will give an instance, which
will, | think, command the admiration Of all who
appreciate the extreme sensityeness OF military
men, in all that concerns rank and subordlnatiOn.
MY husband, when only Lieutenant, CON-
handed post for several years, which, from its
position near the line of a British Province, was
of some Importance. OF course it was compli-
mentary to him, subaltern, that it was entrusted
TO him. Gen. s. was then the Commanding off,
Ger OF Jn6 Eastern DIVISION OF tue ARMY, dud as
SUCH issued an order which my husband demuned
about Obeying, he thought it incorrect. He
stated his objections to his Commander, who, be-
ing OF a different opinion, repeated the order. The
Lieutenant appealed to the War department, and
the Secretary sustained him. WHAT would al
most any other man have done with the - eirec-
tory subordinate" who thus dared to risk losing
not only the post of trust Ae occupied, but even
mis- commission ITSELF because he thought himself
right Gen. Scott probably admired the noble spir-
it, which fearlessly discharged, las he himself has
often done,) his duty, regardless of consequences.
1t takes man of honor to Judge of a man Of hon
or. have often heard my husband speak with
deep feeling, of the Generals magnanimity, in
never es,nting, even by a cold look, the circum-
stances which have been narrated. "Better is he
that rueth his spri., than he that taketh city,"
Gen. Scott has done both, and can do both again,
if necessary.
Some years after my husbands death, hearing
that | was in the same town with himself, he
called to see me, " as a marx of respect TO my
husband" had not before the pleasure of per-
sonal acquaintance with the hero, but the benev-
oence the dignifed courtesy eyinced in that in
teryiew made an enduring impression OF the
truth, " to err is human-tO J0rgire, dipiRe!'

WASHINGTON Saturday, July IL, 1852.
The forthcoming anniversary at Niagara
is exciting considerable interest among the friends
of Gen. Scorr. and among those from here who
will attend that gathering of the. people, besides
the old hero HIMSELF are Gen. CULtoN and Ex-
Gov. JONES, OF Tennessee; HUMPHREY MARSHALL,
OF Kentucky; Senator MAHGUM, of North Caro-
lima; Senator FoorE, of Vermont, &c. MIR. Cor
WIN, the Secretary Of Treasury, returns on Nom
day next and strong effort will be made by the
Ohio Delegation and others to induce him to mani
est himself among the people on that occasion.
All sorts Of stories have been aAoat in regard to
the Navy Secretary ship, made vacant, or to be
made vacant by the resignation Of Mr.. GRAHAM.
All have been able to learn in regard to the
matter is that five days age the post had not been
offered TO Hon. JOHN r. KENNEDY, though it was
the Intention OF the President to offer it to Mary
land, end probably TO Mr.. KENNEDY. From what
can learn, think il Is MIR. GRAHAMs intention
to remain in his place for some time yet-pro0ably
