NATURALIzED CITIZENS.
Letters from General Scott.

We publish the two following letters from
General Scott, written during the last Presi-
dental contest. General Scott is high au.
thorty. The Wings swore by these letters
then. They cannot ignore them now. We
find them floating through our exchanges, and
give them as we find them:
DEAR SIR: In reply to your kind letter Of
the Sth instant, take pleasure in saying that
grateful for the partial estimate you place on
my public services, You do me no more than
justice in assuming that entertain "kind and
liberal views toward our naturalized citizens"
Certainly, il would be impossible for me to re-
commend or sapport any measure intended to
exclude them from just and full participation
in all civil and political rights now secured to
them by our republican laws and institutions.
1t is true, that in season of unusual ex-
citement, some years ago, when both parties
complained of fraudulent practises in the nat.
uralization Of foreigners, and when there
seemed to be danger that native and adopted
citizens would be permanently arrayed against
each other in hostile factions, / was inclined
to concur in the opinion, then avowed by many
leading statesmen, that some modification Of
the naturalization laws might be necessary in
order 10 prevent abuses, allay strife and re.
store harmony between the different classes of
our people. But later experience and reAec-
ton have entirely removed this impression, and
dissipated my apprehensons.
In my recent campaign in Mexico, very
large proportion Of the men under my com
mand were your countrymen Irish Germans,
&c. / witnessed with admiration their zeal,
| fidelity, and valor in maintaining our flag in
the face of every danger. Vieing with each
| other, and our nativeb born soldiers in the same
ranks in patriotism, constancy and heroic dar-
| ing was happy to call them brothers in the
countrymen at home.
! remain, dear sir with great esteem, yours
truly,
WINFIELD SCOTT.

GENTLEMEN | have received your note in.
viting me to join you, at Philadelphia, in the
celebration of the approaching st. Patrick's
day-an honor which, / regret, the press Of
business obliges me to decline.
You do me but justice in supposing me to
feel lively interest in Ireland and her sons
Perhaps no man, certainly no American, owes
SO much to the valor and blood of Irishmen as
myself Many of them marched and fought
under my command in the war of l812-15,
and many re-thousands--in the recent war
with Mexico, not one of whom was ever known
to turn his back upon the enemy or friend
| salute you, gentlemen, with my cordial re-
spects.

New York was sober city yesterday. The metropo.
lis was its legs and not in the gutter Nearly all the
drinking saloons cosed--no drunken men to be
seenand the police magistrates astonished at the want
of business. Justice Osborn remarked that he never
witnessed quiet Sabbath. Only one prisoner in
the Sixth ward station house yesterday Sunday gene
rally closes with forty fifty People ask the reason
Of all this. The answer Of the policemen was-"wood
is Aayor-he is !" All right We hope that Wood will
continue to show in this way that he is Mayor.
