GEN. SCoTT AND THE LIEUTENANT GENERAL
its echoes throughout the country continue
their dirty filings at the bill passed by the
United States Senate, AMI now before the
House, giving to Gen. Scott the title of Lien
tenantGeneral, with some little addition to his
salary, which in his official position, is INSULT
cient for his comfortable support
The meanness, the paltry and dirty meanness,
of party politicians and party scavengers, was
never more strikingly exhibited than ia this
case. Gen Taylor's well known fable of Esop
applies to these miserable party hacks most ap-
propriately. Against patriot who has served
his country to the satisfaction of the people,
but who may possibly stand in the way of the
scurvy schemes of these wolfsh politicians,
they can always find some captrap excuse of
constitutionalty, economy, bad precedent, or
some such threadbare rubbish of knavish dema-
gogues.
But we do not exactly understand these inu-
endoes and eide thrusts of the Washington
Unio, against this bill The Union is doubtless
supposed, by its provincial echoes, and by the
spoilsmen of the House, to speak :" by authori-
ty" This is what we desire to know. Does it
give General Scott the cold shoulder "by au-
thSrityf" 1t cannot be possible-it passes be-
lief Gen. Scott is now in his oil age and after
q long life of faithful and effcien. military ser
vices, crowniug our arms with victory and our

country with glory in the battleAelds of Cana
do and Mexico, it cannot be that Gen. Pierce
entertains any such mean and detestable spirit
Of opposition to this bill before Congress as
that most despicable spirit Of meanness exhibit
cd by the Cabinet organ and Its partisan jack
ais, forever bowling on the track of the spoils.
We say il cannot be that the President Of the
United States shares il this despicable spirit of
party hostility. He owes too much Of gratitude
to Gen. Scott to be guilty Of such treachery as
this. The military reputation which General
Pierce brought home from Mexico was largely
due to the kind attentions and consideration of
Gen. Scott. The old chiefs report, we under
stand, of the battle of Cherubusco, as far as it
related to the part performed by his subordi-
mates, including General Pierce was adopt
ed from their own testimony, and in
their own handwriting The victory was
achieved, and the General .in-chief was
too magnanimous to be rigidly exact in his
determinations, and he gave the stamp Of his
own signature to their own testimony of them
selves, as good soldier reposing fully in the
devotion Of his subordinates is apt to do.
since promoted officially above his generous old
commander-itis not possible we say, that he
can.be party to this mean partisan opposition Of
his organ at Washington and its servile echoes
in different quarters. No; Notwithstanding
the recent free soil disclosures touching the an
tecedents Of Gen. Pierce of 1913, we cannot be-
lieve that he has forgotten the events Of 1871
in the valley of Mexico.
We hope and trust, therefore, that the Presi-
dent will change the music Of his Washington
organ on this bill for the benefit of General
Scott. The spoilsmen Of the House will under
stand, then, how the land lies; and the starv-
ling country echoes of the Union, ready for
any turn by which they may gain few pennies
worth of pap. will take their cue accordingly.
A word from the President will pass the bill
his silence may defeat it. But the injury will
recoil from his old commander with anything
but advantage to the administration. Mark
that.
