achieved in front of tho City Of Mexico, he
received another gold medal. The GROWING
honor won by him from his country was the
brevet rank of Lieutcnaut-Genera which was
to date from the day on which Vera Cruz was
captured.
In 1852 General Scott received the Domina-
ton for President at the Baltimore Wing Con-
vention. In his letter accepting this nomina-
tion he said 81 should neither cOuntenaDce
'' nor tolerate any seditioD, disorder, faction,
{" or resistance to the laws or the Union. on
" auy pretext, in any part of the land; and
" should carry into the civil administration this
" one principle OF military conduct-obedienee
to the legislative and judicial departments OF
(" Government, each in its constitutional
q" sphere" He has, through his life, acted in
accordance with this sentiment, and especially
in bis views touching the present rebellion he
has been ever consistent.
Concerning Gen. SCOTS skill as com
mauder, nothing need be said. There has
never been any difference of opinion on that
point His campaigns have received high and
enthusiastic praise from those whose appr0ba.
ton is praise indeed and his reputation VIII
rest securely upon his labors in the held
The state of his health long since made HIN
desire to be relieved from the arduous service
of his command; but his patriotism held him
at bis post till lie saw the National Capital in
a position of security. and could deliver to his
successor q National army well ordered and
efficient, confident that with tranquility he
could leave the destinies Of his country in the
keeping Of its brave defenders.
The well-merited houors done TO the retiring
General.in Chief by the President and Cabinet
will call forth sincere response from all who
peruse the record, while the modesty and deep
feeling eyinced by tho brief reply of the vet
eran will add to the sentiment Of admiration
which his character inspires in every heart.
The highest wish which true desire for Gen.
Scotts happiness can frame is that he may live
10 see the day when this Union, once more
free from internal strife, shall resume the pur,
suits of peace, and rejoice in undivided
strength.

STAND BY THE UNION

There is q large assortment Of tickets where
from TO select candidates to be voted for next
Tuesday; we advise no one for politics sake
to support bad man in preference to good
one; but we are sure that the Union candi-
dates are at least equal in ability and worth
to any antagonists, while many Of them are
manifestly superior. The combination of such
names as those Of LUCIUs ROBINSON lnd
DANIEL S. DICKINSON OH one State Ticket
eyinces q determination to hold party conside-
rations subordinate 10 the great object OF sus-
tanning the Government in its struggles against
n gigantic rebellion which aims to divide and
destroy tho Nation. The Union Increment
means this, and it means nething more. We
hall vote for Messrs. Dickinson, Ballari, and
Tappen, not because we have bce1 converted
to their views or they to ours on the ques-
tions which have hitherto placed US in political
antagonism, but because we agree that, IN The
present terrible crsis, Farty should give way to
Country, and that we should all together staud
b. the flag Of the Union.
Now, we do not say that earnest Union
men will not vote the adverse ticket; We
know that Thousands will; but that rOie UW not
prors their dsrotior TO he Union. !Oa the con-
trary. il will indicate that, however strongly
they may love the country, they do not love 1t
well enough to subordinate TO il their partisan
affiliations.
There were members OF our last Legislature
who could not be aroused, oven by the bonn
bardment Of Fort Sumter, to a consciousness
that patriot must sometimes forget his party
TO serve his country They are now sorry for
it-at least, so many Of them as are candidates
profess to DO. We believe the voter who now
supports party ticket rather than that which
stands simply on the platform Of the Union,
will soon renlize that he has made similar
mistake.
Whatever may be the issue Of this contest,
the principle of obedience to Law aud rightlul
Authority must be established. 1t must be
settled that party which loses an election IL
as much bound to respect and obey tho fairly
chosen rulers OF the Nation as though it had
won. The Shareholders rebellion makes war
on tho vital principle of free institutions and
renders Popular Elections farce. 1t were
absurd TO 90 on voting if voting is but pre-
liminary to fighting. We who stand by the
Union ticket attest by our votes our confidence
in republican institutions aud our determination
10 maintain them. When we shall have estab-
lished that an election really means something,
concludes something, it will be high time to
resume our party contentious if there be any
ground of contention left But it ia To-Day'f
duty to vindicate the legitimate authority Of the
Nation, and to the efficient discharge OF that
duty all thoughts, all energies, shonld be
directed. Patriots Frcemen! let us give ex'

fore the world that it has ever received the as
sent of the very people which it processes 10
control. There is evidence, gathered from
local sources, of social intimidation, of military
coercion, of the oppressive character OF slave
holding aristocracy itself in minority, which
assumes to treat even majorities with barbariiy
or contempt. All this does not go to the ar
gument, but it does 90 to show that tho Con-
federacy is not "NatioD," even in Mr..
Brady's extremely limited sense of the word.
If the Federal Government be the weak, in-
efficient, and imaginary thing which Mr. Bra
dy's argument suppOses we may rs well dis
card at once its forms and shows, and permit
all the States to resume their old, unlimited
sovereignty. This will at least rid US of q
sham and cOety delusion. But with the gene
raj breskng up, it would be found that States
themselves had lost, not soon to be regained,

az well upon small as larger board.

made against him in the report of Adjutant.
Gen. Thomas. The reply shows that there
were good grounds for our apprehensiops, that

Department. Gen. Thomas had unwittingly
permitted himself, in tbs case at least to be
imposed upon by hearsay evidence. The charge
of Gen. Thomas was, that Gen. Fremont gave
contracts TO members of his own STAFF, and
that one had been given for blankets to Capt.
Davis. Capt. Davis denies that he had any
contract whatever, but states that, in accord

GENERAL SCOTT.

Gen. Scott has resigned the command of the
National Army, and has retired to private life
laden with the honors of long and brilliant
career. This intelligence, though the step has
been for some days anticipated, will affect with
sadness all who read it-for all have long
united in paying tribute to the bravery, skill,
and patriotic devotion of the veteran chief, and
TO part from him is like bidding adieu to o
alued friend.
The record Of Gen. Scots services is too
fresh in the memory Of the people to make
necessary more than the most hasty recapi!ula-
ton: He was born on tho 18th Of June, 1856.
near Petersburg, Virginia. Educated for the
law, he remained 10 that profession for about
two years, and was then, in 1903, appointed a
Captain of Artillery in the army. In 1912 he
was made Lieutenant. Colonel; Adjutant-
General, with rank Of Colonel, in 1913; Colonel
in the same year; Brigadier. General in 1914;
Brevet Major-General, for gaIlantry, in 1914; /;
Major General and General.in. Chief of the army
in l94l Brcyet Lieutenant General in 1855.
His chief battles have been at Queen.town
Hights, Fort George, Fort Erie, Chippewa.
Lundy's Lane, various engagements in the
Black Hawk wars, Vera Cruz, Cerro Gordo,
Contreras, San Antonio. Cherubusco, Molino
del Rey, Chepultepec, Mexico. He was taken
prisoner at Queenstown, and severely wounded
at Lundy's Lane. For his services in this
battle and that of Chippewa he received from
Congress gold medal. For bis galautry in
Mexico he was rewarded with tho thanks of
Congress; and, especially for tho victories
