With these specimens Of official style we close
our chapter of elegant extracts. Of the pervadng
| character of the correspondence We have already
expressed our opinion Bat while all must deeply
regret that Gen. Scott should have been betrayed
into the indiscretisns which abound in his letters
to the Secretary, and while all must wish that he
had consulted the dignity Of bis position and treated
Mr. Davis with merited contempt, We have no
doubt that the public sympathy will still be on his
side Especially will this be the case when it is
remembered that he is especially hated by Davis
because be was among the first to appear as a
public opponent of the swindling scheme of repud-
alton which has made infamous the State Mr. Davis
represents and because be has always been active in
hostility to that clique Of disuniOnsts and Calhoun
ISIS Of wbi.h Davis is prominent leader. The
controversy is one between high.m minded patriot
and s'ave-tradng Secessonist, and the support of
all good men must be given to the former, however
much We may deplore some Of the circumstances
which attend the dispute.
