| Governor DowSEY has made another ex-
hibition Of himself by writing public let
ter to the treacherous Dr. Scott, on his de-
parture from the State. The Governor has
most exceedingly sympathetic heart. He
commiserates the condition of q poor old
man, who has received only So, 900 year,
and 1000, or more, in presents, for stand
| ing up in costly furnished pulpit on the
Sabbath, and retailing the ideas and Ian
guage of others, and wholessling treason of
his own. The Governor ca MT bear the idea
of allowing such a venerable divine, with a
wife and seven small children, and one at
the breast, escaping from the ire his treason
has provoked, without assuring him that,
at least, the Governor of the State, takes
no offense whatever at his language abusive
Of the American Government. Oh, no );
the Governor would be the most gracious
sve comparison of the brutal JEFF. Davis
with the immortal Washington. The Gov
ernor regrets that the blasphemous Scott
is going to leave the State of which he is
Governor by accident. He hopes to see the
Doctor back again. The Governor misrep-
resents the people. They hope DR.. Scott
will never disgrace this loyal State with his
presence again. They want to hear no more
of his treason. They do mt respect him, be
cause he is called "Reyerend" any more
than they do any other traitor in the inter
ests, of the Southern Confederacy, if the
Governor does. They do MT feel the least
inclined to play the snob te,a D. D. Davis
Defender) because Governor Euwney does.
They ca MT conceive how fellow can be
entitled to the reputation of Christian,
who sympathises with, and apologies for,
a rebellion without cause, which is des
tined to spill oceans of blood, if the Govern
or can. Consequently, they ca mt be ex-
pected to fattcr D. D. for Christian vir
tues they do not see, if a Governor from his
high and exalted position does see them
They ought not to be expected to wish the

Scott is not high" if the Governors is.
