General Scott.

| History teaches the bes. lesson that man
can learn. When we bring up its records
with the present-when we array its truths
with our own experiences, we are as often
impressed with the fact that we have been
mistaken In cur estimation of men and our
! judgment of their merits, as we have hereto
fore shown our ingratitude for their services.
Gen, Scott, for instance, was as great man
and as skillful an officer twenty years ago, as
be is now, but how many of the American
people would admit the fact ? He fought
as well at Lundy's Lane as he did from Vera
Cruz to the city of Mexico, but when the
smoke of battle had vanished and the intox-
ication of victory had passed away, Gen.
Scott was rejected by the American people
for the highest Office in their gift, and the
honor COZ Lferred on Cne below him in rank in
the Army, and scarcely mis- equal as wise
and sagacous statesmen. The rejection did
not affect the loyalty of the Hero. While
the American people thus preferred another,
Gen. Scott expressed no chagrin at his own
rejection, sh we'd no bitterness towards those
who were successful, but steadily and stern-
ly devoted himself to his country. He was
almost forgotten in the midst of the political
revelry and debauchery that filled the coun-
try after the Mexican war forgotten by all
save the maleyolence and spite of those who
were then IN power. 1t was not enough that
the American people should refuse him their
confidence after he had crowned the national
escutcheon with the trophies of his victories,
but it was reserved for the American Gov
ernment to attempt the disgrace of its own
veteran chef, to labor to destroy one who
was bleeding for wounds he received while
struggling in its defence. Had such ingrat-
itude occurred when the Caesars welded
their falchions, the hero backed by bis army
would have demolished the government that
sought his disgrace. But while all the other
de oartments were reeking. with corruption
while lace made men dishonest, and public
servants either became secret or ayowed
traitors. Winfield Scott almost stood alone,
darkest peril. He saw the Army dwindling
away under the influence Of treason-he be-
held its resources destroyed, its supplies
ilched, and discipline closed his lips, but he
was still the friend of his country. For four
years he was aware Of the existence of trea-
son, but was prevented from striking, until
at length or me and the excesses of traitors
brought the guilt before the country-and
when Winfield Scott stood forth almost the
only support and defender of that county.
lie turned deaf ear to fattery, and remem-
bered none of the insults and neglects heap
ed upon himself. He refused the appeals
from the State of his birth. scorned their Of
fired honors and spit upon their profered
praises. His country was in danger, and
that demanded and received bis loyalty, his
labor and his services
Honor then, to Gen. Scott He may be
engaged in his last campaign. but the last
laurel to decorate his home will never be
wrsathed. That will be immortal.
