AatJuty, and every native-born of the United King
doms of Great Britain and Ireland sequestered, and
sent on board a ship of war then in the harbor. The
vessel in a few days thereafter sailed for England, with
these persons on board. Between fifteen and twenty
persons were thus taken from us, natives of Ireland,
several of whom were known by tlieir platoon officers
to be naturalized citizens of the. United States, and
others to have been long residents within the same.
One in particular, whose name has escaped me, besides
having complied with all the conditions of oud natural
ization laws, was represented by his officers to have
left a wife and five children, all of them born within the
State of New York.
I distinctly understood, as well from the officers who
enme on board the prison ship for the above purpose,
a* from others with whom I remonstrated on this sub
ject, that it was the determination of the British Go
vernment, as expressed through Sir George Provost,
to puuish every man whom it might subject to its
power, found in arms against the British king contra
ry to his native allegiance.
I have the honor.-t© be, sir,
Your most obedient servant,
W. SCOTT,
Licut.-Col. U. S-2d artillery.
At the instance of Scott, this report was,, the same
day, sent to both houses of Congress. Tt was also b>
him pressed on the attention of many members .n each
house. The result was the early passage of the ‘Act
vesting the President of the Lnited States w ith the
power of retaliation ordered to a third reading, heb.
27tb, and passed March 3d, 1813.
Two months after this, (May 2tth, 1813,) in the bat
tle and capture of Fort George, Scott made a great
number of prisoners. True to his pledge given at
Quebec, he, as adjutant general, (chief of the staff,)
immediately selected twenty-three of the number to be
confined in the interior of the United States, there to
abide the fate of the twenty-three imprisoned and sent
to- England by the British officers. In making the
selection, he was careful not to include a single Irish
man, in order that Irishmen might not be sacrificed
for Irishmen. This step led, on both sides, to the con
finement as hostages, of many other men and officers,
all of whom were, of course, dependent for their lives
on the fate of the original twenty-three.
In July, ISIS, when peace had been some months
concluded, and Scott (theu a major-general) was pas
sing along on the East River side of the city of New
York, he was attracted by loud cheers and bustle on
one of the piers. He approached the scene, and great
was his delight to find, that it was the cheers of his
old Irish friends, in whoso behalf he had interfered at
Quebec,and who had, that moment, landed in triumph,
after a confinement of more than two years in English
prisonsHe was quickly recognized by them, hailed
as their deliverer, and nearly crushed by their warm
hearted embraces! Twenty-one were present, two
having died natural deaths.’
FURTHER —GEN. SCOTT’S LATEST DECLA
RATIONS.
The following letter, written by Gen. Scott, in 1848>
expresses his mature views and present opinions on
the subject of our naturalization laws and the nights
of adopted citizens.
Washington, May 29, 1848.
Deah Sir rn reply to your kind letter of the Bth
instant, I take pleasure in saying that, grateful for the
too partial estimate you place on my public services,
you do me no more than justice in assuming that I en
tertain ‘kind and liberal views toward naturalized citi
zens.’ Certainly it would be impossible for me to re
eotnmend or support any measure intended to exclude
them from a just and full participation in all civil and
political rights now secured to them by our Republican
laws and institutions.
It is true that, in a ease of unusual excitement some
years ago, when both parties complained of fraudulent
practices in the naturalization of foreigners, and when
there seemed to be danger that native andadopted citi
zens would be permanently arrayed against each other
in hostile faction, I was inclined to concur in the opin
ion then avowed by leading statesman, that some
modification of the naturalization'laws might be neces
sary in order to prevent abuses, allay strife and restore
harmony between the different classes of our people.
But later experience und refection hare entirely re
moved this impression and dissipated my apprehensions.
In my recent campaign in Mexico, a very large por
tion of the men under my command were your coun
trymen —Irish—Germans, &c. I witnessed, with ad
miration, their zeal, fidelity and ualor, in maintaining
our flag in the face of every danger, vieing with each
other, and our native-born soldiers in the same ranks,
in patriotism, constancy and heroic daring. I was hap
py to call them brothers in the field, as I shall always
be happy to salyte them as countrymen at home.
I remain, sir, with great esteem, yours truly,
WINFIELD SCOTT.
Wm. E. Robin3on, Esq.
Again: Gen. Scott, in his letter accepting the
nomination and the platform of the W hig National
Convention, says:
I therefore barely suggest in this place, that should
I, by the partiality of my countrymen, be elevated to
the chief-magistracy of the Union, I shall be ready, in
my connection with Congress, to recommend or to ap
prove of measures in regard to the management of the
public domain, so as to secure an early settlement of
the same, favorable to actual settlets, but consistent,
nevertheless, with a due regard to the equal rights of
the whole American people in that vast national inheri
tance, and also to recommend or approve of a single
alteration in our naturalization laws, suggested by my
military experience, viz; Giving to all foreigners the
right of citizenship, who shall faithfully serve, in time
of war one year, on board of our public ships, or in
our land forces—regular or volunteer—od their reciev
ig an honorable discharge from the service.
This extract, and the foregoing letter to Mr. Robin
son, embody all the views and principles upon this ques
tion for which Gen. Scott now stands responsible be
fore the public. It is here seen that he is openly
avowedly in favor of protecting adopted citizens ‘in ail
civil and political rights secured to them ’ by our
present naturalization laws, and free institutions, and
also in addition to this, is iu favor of so amending
these laws as to give, also, to ‘all foreigners the right
of citizenship, who shall faithfully serve one ycat ’ in
the army or navy of the United States.— Nation
True Whig.
The following letter we take from the Chicago Jour
nal. It was written by Captain Robert Hugunin, who
was one of General Scott’s veterans in the war of 1812:
and says more in his favor, so far as adopted citizens
are concerned, than volumes of the carping villification
used against him by his opponents. ‘ Acts speak
louder than words. ’ Let Scott be judged by his acts.
Here is the letter -.

AW akxbng,—The seuior editor of the Am

which the characters of the Presidential can
n ates are undergoing, very devoutly exclaims:
‘ nv taref ul, then, we all ought to be as to

land of liberty, obligation and. responsibility.”
The Irish and Gen. Scott.
To the Editors of the Albany Evening Journal:
I cannot be silent while the rabid demagogues of the
self-styled Democratic party are heaping the most
wanton aspersions upon those Irish voters who are
shaking off the rusty letters of party, and coming out
in favor of Winfield Scott. One of the charges
brought against ub is, that we openly avow we support
the whig candidate because we earnestly believe him
to be attached to oar ‘ancient faith.’ This I brand for
a deliberate fafeeheod. No avowal of that kind was
ever made. We are led by no 6uch delusion, and it
is ‘soft’ for any one to suppose there is an Irishman in
this country who has resided here long enough to be
legally entitled to vote, and yet is so ‘green’ as to be
galled by such a belief. In choosing between the can
didates, we are guided by purer and nobler motives
than this class of scurvy politicians give us credit for.
We join the banner of that man who gives the strong
est guarantees of an upright and prosperous adminis
tration, by unfolding to our view a career which has
reflected glorv on his country, and redounds to his
own undying fame. This assertion by itself would be
scarcely worth noticing. It can find no favor in any
inind on which the lamp of intelligence sheds its luster.
But it is the characteristic threat they have pinned to
it, that deserves attention. They shake their heads
and say, (as one of them said in presence of several
persons a few days since,) if the Catholic priesthood
dare to exert their influence against the New Hampshire
candidate i they may look out for powder and ball.’
What an uncalled for ebulition of desperate rancor is
this, to say the least. These men know full well that
the Catholic priesthood have studiously avoided in all
political contests the intermeddling with the views of
their flocks. Yet this furious threat is made at them
for some sinister purpose, which I cannot clearly com
prehend. Perhaps they labor under the impression
that they can intimidate the Irish to support their tick
et. They have for time out of mind succeeded in at
tracting an enthusiastic people to their side (but that
was in the days of Andrew Jackson, with whom all
that was worthy the support of adopted citizens in that
party, sunk into the grave,) but I apprehend they will
find it a difficult job when they attempt to drive them
by ‘ powder and ball.’ They know right well that the
Irish vote has long been the great element of their
strength, and that without it the hopes of their candi
date sink to a kindred ‘blue’ with the laws of his na
tive State. It is like pulling the eye-teeth to take it
from them. ‘Help me, Cassius, or I sink!’ was a
moving entreaty ; but ‘Do it, Cassius, or I’ll shoot you!’
does not strike the ear with the same music. Threats
will fail to achieve their end. They will make more
by keeping cool, than by the system of ranting dema
gogueism which they have thus far in the campaign so
vigorously pursued. Doubtless they will receive more
Irish votes than they deserve, but I trust there will be
enough that they will not receive to teach Franklin
Pierce a wholesale Democratic lesson. That is, that
the opinions of the masses in this country are strongly
allied to the principles of civil and religious liberty, and
that no State behind the age in her hostility to those
principles, can put forth a candidate who represents
that hostile feeling, and ride him roughshod into the
Presidential Chair. A CATHOLIC.
JfW The following letter was written by Gen.
Scott a few months ago, in reply to an invitation receiv
ed from the Hibernian Associatioe :
Washington, March 11, 1552.
Gentlemen : —I have received your note inviting me
to join you at Philadelphia in the celebration of the
approaching St. Patrick’s day—an honor which, I re
gret, the press of business obliges me to decline.
You do me but justice in supposing me to feel a
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
1812-’ls, and many more—thousands, in the recent
war with Mexico, not one of whom was ever known
to turn his back on the enemy or a friend.
I salute you, gentlemen, with my cordial respects.

A Vile Slander Repelled—Brilliant Speech
of General Scott to the Germans.
Judge Ileyl waited upon General Scott, and on be
half of some of our German citizens referred to a para
graph from the Westbole, a German paper published
in this city, and containing the statement that Gen.
Scott, tied to one tree and flogged fifteen Germans,
while in Mexico. Other charges, of his having hang
ed others, cruelly and unjustly, were referred to.
Never have we witnessed a scene more imposing,
than when the old chieftain, with quick and indignant
response, repelled the false and malignant charge. Lofty
in stature, and standing at least four inches above the
tallest of those among whom he stood, liis form seemed
gigantic, as with heightened color and flashing eye,
and a wave of his hand that expressed a calm defiance
of all such assailants, he uttered liis emphatio protest
against such assaults as that paragraph presented.—
Ohio Journal.
‘New, and before unknown to me, arc such things
as have now been told me. They surprise and they
pain me. They at once concern all that I value per
sonally, and aim a blow at all that, wherein, if I know
myself, l have the highest pride. They attack my own,
identity ! The principles I had believed, I need never
search my own bosom in vain, are here undermined or
denied me 1 lain met with charges of injustice and
cruelty—while leading an American Army through
Mexico, and while participating alike in its trials and
its triumph!
‘Gentlemen, it was my lot to lead an American
army upon a foreign field. I went, resolved to sustain,
in the fore-front of my progress, the high-tide water
mark of o}t*own American Civilization , in all its
moial and civil virtue. The standard of our own and
not the practices of that foreign country, was the stand
ard which I sought'for the government of men’s pas
sions and the the license and excesses of war.
Alike to Americans, wlietlisr native or foreign birth,
and to I declared my purpose, and exhibited
my of action.
‘I promulgated the martial code. Doubtless you
■ll have read it. I deemed it necessary. I could do
nothing without it. It announced the spirit of our pro
gress, and held amenable to punishment all who forgot
manhood and threatened to bring shame upon our flag,
dishonor to our arms—or a reproach upon our virtue !
Without it, we had not conquered, or if we had con
quered, the brightest trophy of our conquest had been
wanting. It would have been a physical triumph alone.
Humanity would have disowned us. I promulgated
that order. Read it, and read it again, gentlemen, and
then bear me witness, that it was in my heart as it was
almost hourly on my lips, for continued months, to car
ry with American arms, and under the American flag,
even into an enemy’s country, all the elements of social
order, and that regard for personal right, that be
longed to our own free institutions in the United States.
‘Yes, I sought to carry with me, and 1 resolved to
maintain, at all hazards, my own command, and also
that people among whom we should be thrown, that
high standard of virtue, and honor, which we boasted
at home. Had I not been less than an American and
recreant to the highest interests of humanity, and the
age we rejoice in, if Iliad done less ? They say I
hanged some Germans, and tied up and flogged others.
Gentlemen, some persons were hanged in Mexico. —
The names of all of them I do not now recollect.—
Whether any were Germans or not, I know not. But
for what —yes, for what were they hanged l I hanged
one for rape upon an innocent young female, and for
profane and wicked Church robbery. All knew
the law that was over them. Every man of them
knew he would be held a* answerable for vile misdeeds,
against the laws of God and man, as if he were then
upon American soil.
‘bor such crimes they suffered —for such crimes as
here , in your own Ohio—a land of law—would have
brought down upon them severe penalties, and with
\fqual justice. Some did suffer death! But their
tt '’ was lair, impartial and upon the same principles
of 6<>o | aw apot, which they would have been ad
j udged g-'hy, here, among you. Do some say I hanged
fifteen Gert. ang) an( j t h at others were arraigned and
flogged wichou-t au3e or trial. Gentlemen, I know noth
ing of it. It is fa. e —it i 8 a lie ; an invention, gentle
men, a ur. I see <jtiteus befjre me. I see emi
nent lawyers here. A,<J ? gentlemen you see me much
excited. Rut is it not for cause? For one, who,
or fifty years has scarce ly ever walked, rose, slept
or eaten, ° r even taken a cup ./ eo u water
Held, the town, or the camp, but tn*i \i t thoughts
were of his country ; her virtues,, her r~, oton , her
honor; to be thus assailed,— it is monstrous —it is
intolerable! Gentlemen, I did, with a high hand,
sustain, the law, which, with uprightness in my heart,
I determined to sustain. I did hang for murder ! 1
did hang for rape ! I did hang for treason! and I
flogged thieves and pickpockets ! For,, gentlemen, let
me again say, I not only carried with me, but I resolved,
with every resource I could command, to sustain,
fearlessly and effectually, in its virtue and its choicest
blessings, not only to my own command but to defence
less and peaceable Mexicans, that civilization —yes, that
Christain civilization of which I was proud to believe
that army might appear a worthy representative.
‘But, gentlemen, I was no respecter of persons. —
American or Mexican; native born or foreign born;
whoever knew the law and obeyed it not; whoever ,
reckless of his own responsibilities, and the rights of
others, trampled under foot and set at naught the
law that was over all, I punished. I did hang for
the crimes stated, and I would have hung an hundred
seekers of innocent blood, and violators of female chas
tity, if so many had been the offenders! And for this,
perverted and misshaped, I am made answerable to
a charge against whioh my every feeling revolts, and
which my whole nature aud my whole life repel. No,
gentlemen, it is a lie, (the charge as made, or that
any were wrongfully punished,) a false and groundless
lie. lam not unthankful to my good friend who has
told me of these things! It was right. But, gentle
men, I stand here, before you, and declare as I have
already declared, and again declare, that the princi
ples that governed my command in Mexico, are those
of my life. To that life in my country’s service. I
need not appeal in vain for an answer now. With
equal freedom and consequence do I throw myself un
der the honest verdict of every man, who, with me,
served his country in the fields of Mexico.’
Gen. Jackson and Gen. Cass.— The fol
lowing are the closing paragraphs of the letter of in
structions written by Gen. Cass, Secretary of War, by
direction of President Jackson. The order, after ex
pressing the President’s solicitude as to affairs in South
Carolina, a hope from tho intelligence of the people,
and a fear lest some rash attempt should be made
against the forts of the United States, proceeds to say :
‘The possibility of such a measure furnishes suffi
cent reason for guarding against it, 3nd the President is
therefore anxious that the situation and means of de
fence of these fortifications, should be inspected by an
officer of experience, who could also estimate and pro
vide for any dangers to which they may be excised. —
He has full confidence in your judgment and discre
tion, and it is his wish that you repair immediately to
Charleston, and examine every thing connected with
the fortifications. You are at liberty to take such mea
sures, either by strengthening these defences, or by
reinforcing these garrisons w ith troops drawn from any
other posts, as you may think prudence aud a just pre
caution require.
‘Your duty will be of great importance, and of
great delicacy. You will consult fully and freely with
the collector of the port of Charleston, and with the
district attorney of South Carolina, and you will take
no step, except what relates to the immediate defence
and security of the posts, without their order and con
currence. The execution of the laws w ill be enforced
through the civil authority, and by the mode pointed out
by the acts of Congress. Should, unfortunately, a
crisis arise, when the* ordinary power ia the hands of
the civil officers shall not be sufficient for this purpose,
the President shall determine the course to be taken
and the measures adopted. Till, therefore, you are
otherwise instructed, you. will act in obedience to the
legal requisitions of the proper civil officers of the Uni
ted Stales.
‘I will thank you to communicate to me, freely and
confidentially, upon the topic which yon may deem it
important for the government to receive information.
‘Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
LEWIS CASS.’
Major-General Winfield Scott.’
What was thought of God. Scott in 18141
From Niles’ Register, of August 27, 1814, is copied
the following handsome tr ibute to Gen. Scott from which
an idea maybe formed of the estimation in which the
boy-General was then held by his countrymen.
‘Generals Brown and Scott are doing well. The
former it is thought tnay have resumed his eommnnd
about the 23th of August. Scott suffered much, and
was still confined to his bed on the 13th ; however,
there was every prospect of as speedy a recovery as
could be expected. This gallant soldier, who has not
yet attained hi- thirtieth year, is a native of this county,
(Dinwiddie.) Iu this State lie received his education
its last polish at the College of William and Mary.—
With skill, dilligence, perseverance and unrivaled elo
quence, be practised the law for a short time in the ad
jacent counties. But bis great soul aspired to ‘deeds
of arms.’ He entered the service of bis country in
1808, with the commission of Captain of Light Ar
tillery, and in a short time joined the Southern army
under General Wilkinson. His arrest, the charges
against him, and liis unparalleled defence on that oc
casion, have long since been before tlio public. This
noble defence convinced the Cabinet at Washington
and the world at large, that he was the scholar, the
politician and the soldier. Since then, no man has as
cended the military ladder with more resplendent ra
pidity than lias Winfield’Scott — two more rounds, and
he will have topped the climax of military honor !
‘Glowing with friendship, veneration and pride for the
brave soldier, a number of citizens of Petersburg, as
we aro informed, have resolved to have made an ele
gant sword with appropriate devices, to bo presented
to the hero of Chippewa and Bridgewater. In his
hands we are confident it will never be drawn but in
the defence of his country’s rights, and never tarnished
but by the blood of our foe.’
[From a speech by John M. Claytoni\
Scott at Lundy’s Lane.
“My fellow-citizens: Jackson fought two bat
tles if I recollect his history, and they made him
President for eight years. Harrison fought one
at the Thames and one at Tippecanoe. Taylor
fought ten, Washington eight; I speak of pitch,
ed battles; and Scott if I count right, ten. Os
those I have named, none hut himself received
a wound in battle. I heard Taylor say his
clothes were shot to pieces at liuena Vista,
and he came out ragged; hat, pantaloons and
jacket were all cut up; but still the old hero’s
bodv was whole. Jackson did not receive a
scratch, nor have I read that his clothes, were
touched. But Scott has been wounded, and
shot down in battle.—Scott, at the battle of Lun
dy’s Lane was shot through the body, and
nearly all the blood that was in him was poured
udon the ground. Ho had been previously
wounded, and two horses shot under him, and
he was left among the dead at the conclusion,
of the action. If it will not tire you, I will relate
an anecdote of what occurred in ray room at
Washington, between an old soldier and a gal
lant one who had fought under Scott, and Scott
himself. Col. Cilley was in my room on a visit.
He had receiced a shot in that action which
had shattered his thigh to pieces, and he will
always bear the marks to his grave. While he
was talking to me Gen. Scott did me the honor
to call and see me. I introduced him to his old
fellow soldier, whom he had not seen for more
than thirty years. After a warm greeting be
tween them, Cilley inquired of Scott how the ac
tion of Niagara, or Lundy’s Lane, was brought
about, and for what reason the battle was fought.
I had never been able to get Scott to converse
upon the subject of the battles he had fought,
or the wounds he had received, as ho immedi
ately turned the subject to something elge, and
showed that the topic was unpleasant. But
when appealed to by a brother soldier, who
fought and bled with him, he did go into a min
ute history of all the reasons that brought about
the battle. It appeared Lieut. Gen. Drummond
had come down with 4,000 of the best veterans
from the Peninsular war. Scott had pursued
the Marquis all day, and chased him over the
Chippewa. Next day Reily come over and at
tacked him, and the action lasted until night,
when Reily was totaly defeated and driven
over the river. Brown told him afterwards that
there was a large force in Lundy’s Lane, and he
found Reily there. Scott advanced, and saw a
large body of men drawn up, but there were not
so many as he first imagined. The troops Rei
ly had fought with at Chippewa, joined by a
number of Canadian volunters, formed the ar
my before hint.—He had heard nothing of the
troops advanced by Drummond, and he direc
ted his brigade to be drawn up ; as he said ; as
lie bad whipped Reily before to whip him again
As the battle raged, he said he saw large masses
of men throughout the woods, artillery, infantry
and cavalry, until at length he discovered he was
attacked by a great additional force of real Brit
ish regulars. Immediately he sent for Ripley’s
brigade to join him. He arrived at night.— Ihe
veteran went on to say, that during that night
he had witnessed more hard fighting than he
had ever seen before in his life. Men fought
with bayonets point to point, after they had
fired away all their cartridges in their boxes.
There was a cry for more cartridges, and during
that cry a soldier immediately before him was
struck; and as he fell he exclaimed —“Cartrid-
ges in my box!” and Scott said he went up to
him, and he was dead. Shortly after he recei
ved the dreadful wound, I have attempted to
describe, and was dragged behind a tree, and
when he recovered himself the British had re
treated from the ground.”
Com. Porter’s Revolver.
The New York Advertiser describing this
weapon says: It is saying none too much to speak
of it as the most effective, rapid, and poweriul re
volver that used, admits of only eighteen per
cussion caps, and consequently of only eighteen
sucessive discharges. These were made within
the space of time required to pull the trigger
for each discharge, and the few seconds occupied
in taking out the cylinder and substituting an
other. This operation was quite as rapid as
the ordinary adjustment of a permission cap, and
was completed in an instant.
Some idea of the force of the gun may be
gathered from tho fact, that immediately after
the eighteenth ball was fired, there was a rush
into the gallery of persons stating that a person
was shot by one of the balls. The alarm proved
false; but, on examination, it was found that
several of the balls had gone entirely through
the thick plate of boiler iron placed behind the
target, and through a rear petition, into rooms
j beyond. The soldier armed with this weapon
may carry four of the loaded cylinders in his
; pocket, and thus discharge thirty-six balls in
radid succession without pausing, and without,
reference to light or darkness, rain or sun.
Such weapons, whether they be peacemakers or
otherwise, cannot fail to exert their influence in
the quarrels of the nations, and will help to pre
vent or rapidly settle them.
- m m
Lc.ndv’s Lane.—A gentleman, who was preseni,
thus refers to a memorable incident, in the memorable
battle of Lundy’s Lane. Thus speak nearly all his
old soldiers:
‘About 1250 well equipped and disciplined British
veterans were about taking a position, and planting a
; formidable battery on the hill at the head of Lundy’s
Lane, near the falls of Niagara, on the afternoon of the
25th July, 1814, when the gallant Winfield Scott ad
| vanced with a force of about 500 to look at them; his
eagle eye discovering that if suffered to establish his
position the enemy could almost annihilate our army,
led his men to the charge, and in the unequal conflict
! received two severe wonnds, but although profusely
bleeding and leaning (not fainting) on his horse, re
mained ou the field until he saw the gallant Miller ap
| proach with his brave 21st to his relief.
This timely attack made by General Scott saved our
army, and finally gave us the vie tory, and when placed
at the head of our Government.he wilUave our country
and give us the victory over all our enemies, both for
eign and domestic.
ONE WHO WAS PRESENT.
Gen. Scott and the Fkeesoii.er.s —There is
not a freesoil press in the Union that favors the
election of Gen. Scott: they are universally op
! posed to him, regarding him as “the champion
of finality.” The New York Evening Post, the
leading democratic freesoil paper in the country
and a zealous supporter of the democratic nom-
I inees, says, “if Gen. Scott had not accepted the
nomination on a finality platfoum, there is no
doubt that any of the prominent candidates be
fore the democratic convention would have been
defeated by him. But now he is presented as
the express champion of ■‘duality,” of which
there is not a word in the democratic platform.
; The very sentiment which would have given Gen
Scott strength if he had adhered to the princi
ples of the party which presented him, will now
and ought to enure to the benefit of Pierce,
whose abstract notions of slavery are quite as
liberal and just, as any ever professed by Gen.
Scott, and whose general notions of government
command our unqualified admiration.’’—ln.

A Word to the Whigs.
It lias been throe months, or more, since the
nomination, of Gen. Scott, and yet, the Whigs
j of Georgia* cannot he convinced that he will
make as good a President as Pierce, or Web
ster. It seems to be impossible for Scott, and
his friends, both combined, to convince a por
tion of the Whig party in Georgia, that he is
an honest man and will do what lie says he
will. It is useless to attempt to disguise the
fact, that they prefer the election of Pierce, or
Webster, to that of Scott, for it would be going
too far to say, that they are not apprised of
what will be the result of their present move
ment. They know as certainly as that they
exist, that Pierce is aided by them in Georgia.
The idea, that by supporting Webster they will
keep the Whig party together, is absurd ; for
I ask you, could not the Webster men vote for
Pierce with as much propriety as they can for
Webster ? Either is an ex-parte proceeding.
There is just as good a reason in allowing
Pierce Whigs to fall back into Whig ranks af
ter this election is over, as there is to allow
Webster Whigs to do so ; in fact, it would be
better, for they assail the Scott men openly, and
do not cloak themselves with that false and un
true position, we will keep the Whig party to
gether, when it is as clear as Gospel truth, that
Toombs and Stephens, and their followers, have
essentially divided, and are ruining the Whig
party in Georgia. Will it be denied, then, by
any honest man, that Scott has been shameful
ly treated and dealt with by a portion of his
own party in Georgia, and all because Toombs
and Stephens pronounced against him ? Then,
do you not see whither you are tending as fast
as time can roll you on ? You certainly can’t
expect any good to result from your present
course in politics—“ A house divided against
itself cannot stand.” It has required the united
strength of the National Whig Party to com
bat successfully the Democracy of this country.
I do not believe in tactions—they are ever pro
ductive of mischief. Give me a united legal
party —such an one as we had under the lead
of Harry of the West, who is no more. lie
was against divisions of any kind—went and
acted all his life upon the principle, “United
we stand, divided we fall.” Now, Whigs, if
, you don’t wish to annihilate the Whig party in
Georgia, fall into ranks and support Scott; he is
as honest, as national, as good a Whig as Web
ster, as capable of administering the Govern
ment as Pierce, as sound upon all the great
principles affecting the civil rights of the peo
ple as Webster or Pierce. Now, you are all
convinced of what I have said—but to get you
to act is the difficulty. Ask yourselves the j
question, seriously, whether you can frame a
good objeetton to Scott. Y r ou can’t object be
cause he is not a Compromise man; you can’t
refuse to vote for him because he is not a good
old Whig, nor because he is allied with Free
soilers, for they are falling off from him by run
ning Hale. Then, what good reason can you
offer ? I can’t conceive one, unless it is this,
(and that is no reason at all) that Toombs and
Stephens have said you must support Webster—
that’s it, I reckon. Well, if you think you can
live with Toombs through, and after this
contest is over— go it. AH that I have to say
is, this, I fear when the day of retribution
conies, you will not be able to rise and stand
before the scrutiny of all honest and good par
ty Whigs.
But, I have a word for those who vote for
Pierce. To you, I say, good-bye ; I know that
you are off to the Democrary for life, and with
it too, I must say, you are free from doing the
Whigs any injury, further than manly and open
political warfare is concerned, notwithstanding,
you leave the ranks of good old W lugs who
mourn you departure, and regret the folly of
your way.
Now to the Webster men : I have said no
thing in this communication to insult or mar
the feelings of any Webster man intentionally;
my sole object is, if possible, to get you to see,
if you have not seen, and to act so as to har
monize the Whig party of this State, by voting
on the first Monday in November next, for Win
field Scott. I believe the interest of the coun
try —the salvation of the Whig party —the re
spect that is due the Whig Baltimore Conven
tion and its nominee, and that principle of,
“ Rendering unto Caesar the things that are
Caesar’s,” all demand a re-union of the Whig
party, and a concentration of her forces on her
national candidate. Will you do it ? We wait
the finality.

Our friend from Gum Swamp , is informed,
! that we do not know how to obtain the inform
ation lie seeks. It is a matter of surprise to
us, that any of our Union Democratic friends
should doubt for a moment, a fact so notorious
every where, as that the Pierce and King Elec
tors on the Democratic Ticket, are all out and
out Fire-eaters of the uorst stamp, with the ex
ception of Mr. Flournoy, of Washington, who
favored the right of secession, and Mr. Haral
son, of Troup, whose position was equivocal.
X-eT L. L. L., of Savannah, is informed that
L. F. W. A. is now alisent at the North. On
his return, he will make such answer as may
appear to him proper.
We are in receipt of an anonymous
communication from some filibustering friend
in Savannah, which purports to give a detailed
account of their recent organization in that
city for a second invasion of Cuba. We are
obliged by the information, but Ave are not
yet prepared to sympathise with this move
ment, which appears to ns to involve such seri
ous consequences, to individuals and govern
ments.
Our young friends had better wait awhile,
until Gen. Scott is elected I’resident, and we
think the Island of Cuba will then fall into our
hands by purchase, and without the necessity of
a resort to violence.
They should remember the fate of those de
luded adventurers, who but a year ago paid the
forfeit of their rashness.

Sanford's \cw Orleans Opera Troupe.
This jus ly famous band of musicians and humorists
will appear in one of their highly amusing and delight
ful entertainments, at the Floyd House Saloon, on Mon
: day Evening, October l'lth, and during the week.—
They present a combination of talent rarely met with.
I We predict that they will draw as large audiences here
!as they have in every other portion of the United
States. They purpose remaining here for at least twelve
nights, but we suppose that the patronage with which
| they will, or ought to be, favored will induce them to
stay much longer. Among the funniest and most har
monious features of their unique exhibitions, are their
burlesques on popular operas, and their imitations of
Italian vocalists. They have marked out an entirely
new path, and are travelling it with more than ordina
ry success. •
Jenifer’s Letter.
The Telegraph has gone into spasms over the
letter of Mr. Jenifer, of Maryland, who refuses
to support Gen. Scott, on the the ground that
he considers it would be inconsistent in him, as
a “Union Whig,” to do so. (>f course, accord
ing to Jenifer and the Telegraph, Scott must be
opposed to the Union, and no Whig!
Then, the readers of the Telegraph, ought to
go for him en masse , for, as we take it, “them’s
their sentiments,” exactly.
Scott Paper in Charleston.
We have received the first number of the
“ Daily Constitutional Union,” a newspaper
published in Charleston, at $4 per year — ll. i
Judge Moore, Editor.
The paper seems to lie well conducted, and
is devoted to the eradication of most of the Anti-
Republican heresies in South Carolina. It also j
advoctes the election of Scott and Graham.
It deserves to be encouraged.
Beware of False Teachers.
Alec Stephens, and the sickly crowd that follow him,
say they can't join the Democrats—they only want to
destroy the National Whig party , but, the party in
Georgia must be preserved.
Now, it is rather unfortunate for the avowed pur
pose of those gentlemen, that their efforts, if at all in
fluential, will effect the destruction of their party in
Georgia, and no where else. And this, they well
know. It is therefore, ail hypocritical oant about try
ing to save the \\ liig party of Georgia. If saved, it
will be by none of their aid, but, by a purgation of the
unwholesome elements, that have heretofore existed in
it. We never could fully oo operate with the whig
party ourselves, until it got rid of the Toombs and
Stephens erowd, and put up Gen. Scott for the Presi
dency.
It has now become a very sound, conservative party,
and commends itself to the favor of all good meu
throughout the country. Hereafter, if those rene
gades behave themselves well, and show proper contri
tion for their past follies, may be, their old friends will
let them in again.
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR.
New York, Oct 2, 1852.
Pear Reader —ln die course of my sojourn
in this Metropolitan Babel, I have noted many
things possessing novelty and. interest sufficient
to “point a moral” or “adorn a tale,” but the
present is not a suitable time to put my thoughts
and reflections on paper, for your gratification
or amusement. I am sitting in a public room
of a Hotel which is thronged with people from
all parts of the Union, and I may say, of the
world, who have congregated here as the cen
tre of American civilization and progress, and
the landing place of those who annually flee
from the despotisms of the other hemisphere to
quaff the pure air of liberty in this model of
nations. Os course, then, there are here to be
seen people of every language, tongue and com
plexion —presenting a motley spectacle to the
observer—one grand moving panorama of di
versified humanity, of all shades and phases of
character and personal appearance. The scene
in Broadway, every day and night, is worth a
trip across the Atlantic to any unsophisticated
denizen of Georgia, who has never seen a lar- s
ger collection of houses than go to make up a
respectable village in his own State. The throng
is immense—a heaving tide which ebbs and
flows at intervals, it is true, but is always an
immense volume of moving and animated life,
except for a few hours, between 11 P. M. and
the first grey twilight of the succeeding dawn.
To accommodate the great Public who visit
and sojourn here, a vast addition has been made
to the Hotels of New York, within a few years.
Over forty of these are to he found in Broad
way, and many of them of the first class. The
“ Astor” was the first on the list of magnificent
Houses —which has been followed by the “ Ir
ving,” and now by the “ Metropolitan,” which
in point of capability and splendor of equip
ment, is said to be unsurpassed in any part of
Europe. It is a palatial looking establishment
of immense extent, and cost, complete, I am in
formed, a million of dollars! Yet, the propri
etors will doubtless make money out of the spec
ulation, as has the late proprietor of the “ Ir
ving,” who luis just retired from its manage
ment with $300,000 in pocket! Pretty good,
that, you will say, for three year’s work! but it
is only a fair sample of the way fortunes are
made by many in this city.
Conversing with a gentleman who lias made
the tour of Europe and passed through Regent
Street, London* I asked him, if London could
surpass Broadway, N. Y., in the brilliancy of
its shops and the gorgeousness of its general
aspect. He replied that he saw one or two
shops in Regent Street that were as brilHaut as
those in Broadway, but there were but
in comparison. Such a dry-goods establish
ment as Stewart’s, I supj>ose, can hardly be
found any where else in the world, ft is not
one store —but a whole Mode of store* —all fill-
I ed with the costliest and rarest fabrics of the
j Universe.
But in contrast with this blaze of jewelry
and glitter of art and manufacture, here to be
seen, there is painful evidence, every step of
one’s progress through the city, of terrible w ant,
woe and corruption. I may say, with truth,
that right under the n<*se, almost, of the negro*
philopolists of Gotham, I have seen more abject
wretchedness, in three days, than can l>e found
in the whole State of Georgia, w ere all its suf
fering and destitution concentrated into one so
| eus. And, yet, the hypocritical fanatics howl
on, about the horrors of slavery, and flood the
i country with their “Unde Tom” earrieatures of
the domestic institutions oL the South, without
seeming to have a single thought? for the miser
; able poor whom they have always w ith them !
As to politics, T have but time to say a word,
and that is one full of hope and gratification,
to the friends of Gen. Scott. His star is in the
ascendant, even in this State, notwithstanding
the w rath of the “ Herald” and the impotent
wailings of the Webster “ Day Book.” Gen.
i Scott will probable get all the New England
States but Maine and New Hampshire. Maine
• is doubtful—so is Ohio —but otherwise, all is
bright to the Potomac, and throughout the West
and South-west.
i One month from this date and the question
’ will be settled, and I have no earthly doubt, in
favor of the gallant “hero of three w ars and ten
! pitched battles.” “So mote it be,” is the pray
er of vour humble servant and friend,
L. F. AY. A.
A Hard Question.
“ Pathfinder ,” in the Central Georgian, wi.sli
es to know of Mr. Jenkins, how it is, that lie
was considered by a certain clique of politicians,
last year, unfit to represent the county of Rich
mond in the Georgia Legislature, and this year,
j is deemed ly the same set, worthy to lie Vice
j President of the United States! AYill some
1 body answer ! “I>o tell.”
IVo Polit’cs at the Fair.
■■ or We have been requested to state, that the Ex
ecutive Committees of the three Political parties, have
mutually agreed that there shall be no political *j>cnking
; in this city during the week of the Fair, by their con
sent. This is all right and proper, and il was singular
! that any one should ever have desired a different nr.
j rangement. We are always on hand, however, when
our adversaries way wish to discuss the relative claims
of their candidates.
The New Party.
‘We go for breaking up the National \VI i * Party,’
says Alexander Hamilton Stephens. ‘So do we,’
jwysthe Washington Gazette —and ‘we,’ says Mr.
Reeve of Morgan—and ‘we,’ says Mr. Nisbet of Bibb,
(we mean Jeems, the new born democratic Past mas
ter, not the editor.) We go for breaking up both of
j Ihe old National parties, say they, aud others who fol
; low in their wake, ‘and the formation of a new party,
; composed of none but tlie sound conservative men of
j all parties.’
Well, gentlemen, go to work and build up your par
| ty. But take care that you don’t founder before vou
collect your crew, and gvt out to sea. In the first
place, we should like to know, who is to judge of the
qualifications of your members—by w hat standard will
you test the conserrativeism of those who apply for
admission into your ranks ? This is a provision, which
you must certainly make, or you can but fail at the very
outset. Having arranged this preliminary, then let us
see how you will get on with the formation of your nets
party. Try the conservative Democrats. Get them to
join you. Will they ? No. Their ‘trust is in the
j Democracy of the United States,’ and they won’t
‘break up.’ Tlmn try the conservative whig*. What
do they say ? Why from the East and the West, the
North and tlie South, they send up a shout for ‘Scott,
Graham and our Country,’ that makes the welkin ring,
. and carries terror into the hearts of timid and treache
’ rous men!
Well, there arc some other parties still. There's
the Abolition or Freesoil party, the Fillibusten, the
Fire-Eaters, and the Mormons, what of them? Will
they do ? ‘O, no ! They are disorganizes’—say these
phararaica! gentlemen, ‘and we’ll not havo them.’ Now
that is just what we think of you. And if we mis
take not, public opinion has long since decided that ei
ther front disappointed ambition, or mortified pride, or
some ulterior cause, these Third party gentlemen, are
among the worst disorganizes of the times,
i— m n
The Canvass.
Since our lost issue, our adviocs continue to boos
the most cheering character. Within the past few
weeks Gen. Scott’s chances of suoccss have greatly in
creased, and our friends at Washington are now confi
dent, that he will be elected by an overwhelming ma
jority—probably, equal to that of Gen. Harrison, in
1840.
It is considered certain, that he will carry the States
of Vermont, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island,
Delaware, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Tennessee, and
Louisiana. There is little or no doubt of bis carrying
Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, North Carolina,
and Ohio. His chances are also considered best in Vir
ginia, Florida, Michigan, Indiana, lowa, Wisconsin, and
California. Nor, do we ye\ give up either Illinois or
Maine.
