TvOYAI. IToRIMTAL, ClIKl.SKA, Oft. , 1 11.
Mv Di:ar Cienprai. Scott : I'pwnrds of
twenty-seven years have now pas.-t'd away since
1 was opposed to you at Chippewa, mid was i.f
trr words your prisoner nnd filfow-sufi ri i
near Bulla lo. Yet during that time I have ne
ver ceased to feel a grateful recollection of
your kindness to me, nnd a high admiration of
those chivalrous feelings which animated yon
in battle. And it is the recollect on of those
stirring and by -gone times, and the elevated o
p'nion entertained of you by Sir Phinons Uinll
and myself, which now induces me to write
to yon.
Will yon then, dear General Scott, pardon
my writing to you ; am! inform ine whether or
not, in your opinion, the Legislature of the n
hove States are wanting in those high feelings
of honor and honesty fur which I gave them cre
dit ; or whether their present embarrassment
has nri en out of unexpected difficulties, nnd
that they had not sufficient time to meet their
engagements! If you be kind enough to give
me your opinion on this suhjoet I know it will
bo an honest one ; and I shall therefore npnie
ciatc it.
I often hear of you from your countrymen
who visit England, nnd I hear of your health
and of your cdvancenient in the estimation ol
the Union with great satisfaction.
The favorable impression I had received on
passing through different States of the L'nion
in both in respect of their moral tone, of
their industry and roFnuroes, nnd of the Saxon
lluod, which seemed every where spurring
them into active nnd hunortilde exigence, indu
ced ine in a credulous and evil hour to invest
nenrlyall the money I possessed, viz : X?,.r.0ti,
in New Orleans Canal and Nanking shares
and Mississippi nnd Indiana State Stocks ; nnd
now, alas none of these three concerns pay
their dividend ! I have a w ife nnd six children,
and two ot your tnu.-ket balls are still lodged
in my body ; and under this pressure from
without, (as well ns within,) you will not be
surprised if I sometimes feel a little nervous a
bout the interests of my family.
The "loom nnd distrust which the failure of
the United States Bank (and the States to
which I have referred) have produced in Eng
land is vprv oiuvi ? Vet still I wish, that
the same friendly feelings were entertained
by tie; citizens of the United States for Eng
lishmen, which Englishmen, I am happy to say,
every w lo re rntei tain (or them. Hut the bor
derers on Loth sides, I fear, area restless set,
and nothing save tin; wisdom and best exer
tions of such calm and dispa.srionate men as
yourself, ami those who are competent to sub
due and control the vices of the tiiihtilent, w ill
be able t-j preserve to those two jjreut countries
the Urging of peace.
We read wah great regret in this country
the accouuls of the doing vn both oiib s ot
your Northern frontier. There ir not an Eug-
Ifehtuau of ' churji ler and coin, hum fcon.s.; who
would not deprt cite u war with America ; but
you must look alter your people on the border
as well ns we. I think you will find us at all
tiiiien disposed to act fairly by you ; but John
Hull is u touchy fellow when you rouse him,
though willing to take more front his cousin
in America than from any bkly else, yet there
arc limits to his forbearance. Could you but
multiply yourself into a dozen Presidents of
as many States, I am sure all the ill feeling
would soon subside. As lor my single self, the
marked kindness extended both to General Ri
all and mo by your countrymen has conver
ted us more or less into American, and indu
ced t confidence in their public securities, ho
nor, and good fiith w hioh I am note afruil will
prove the ruin of, my deur General, yours rnott
faithful. J. Morii-mon Wilson.

Fur some days pasta recent elopement hn
caused no little talk in our city, and the facts
w Inch hac come to light are almost too humili
ating to poor, fallen human nature, to bear al
luding to. 1 1 appear, briefly, that Dr. Henry
It. IVuboily. a practicing physician in Cleve
land, was rolled some throe years ago to visit
professional')- Mrs. I'elden, wife of (.'apt. Clif
ford Hehlon, then in deliente health, nnd has
snbsi'ipiently been employed as the family phy
sician. Early in July Mrs. R. left the city on n
visit to her relatives in Summit county, nnd
nfter she had been absent some two week., Dr.
I'eahodv left the ei'y wilh a buggy, met Mrs.
1'.. in Portage county, doubtless by appointment,
took her into his conveyance, ind neither has
since been heard from. Circumstances attend
1 in" the meetin" and elopement were so mvstr
J riously arranged ni to lead the utistispect'iig
I husband ami his friends at first to suppose Mrs.
j 0. had been murdered on her way to visit her
i friends in Geauga county, but facts, terrible as
! death, soon removed the suspicion. The truth
j came out, tint Dr. P. hud abused the confidence
the husband reposed in his professional iutegri-
ty and in h'.s Inner ns a man had seduc d
j the wife from her fidelity and for years the
j depraved pbvsicinn nnd patient had been living
' in concealed licentiousness nnd guilt.
What ndds if possible to the enormity of the
conduct of the adulterer, is the fict that he has
not on'v deserted nn excellent and respectable
wife nnd tut interesting family of children, but
in addition to robbing them of peace nnd happi-rirs---,
he bus literally stripped thein of the con
veniences and necessaries of life. We are in
formed that tornise money for the llight, he
mortgaged his property, including even the
furniture, A c. ot the family. A more deliber
ate and aggravating wrong nnd outrage ha-
seldom been recorded in the Mack annals of
crime and wickedness, nnd in the deplorable
absence o! laws f tifTiciently severe to punish
the .educrr and the adulterer ns he deserves,
public opinion should brand the mark of Cain
upon his forehead, that in his wanderings he
mnv be despised and shunned of all men, until
dentil arraigns the moral leper nt the dread
bar of impartial justice to receive merited retri
bution.
Pen body is about 11 yenrs old,.") feet 10
inches high, rather portly, w ith full, brandy
colored face, speaks piick, and shows a rather
handsome set of small teeth, and is a great

The editors of the Son' u y (J izeltc have taken
upon themoelves the lank of rcnnriiig us for ex.
pressing our opinion of Mr. V in Buren'swnnt of
popularity in Pennsylvania. They Rr.ivety assure
lb" ir rendeis that Mr. Van Hnren i opul.tr, nnd
the manner they attempt tit prove it, will afford
amu einent at least, if not instruction. Hear them:
"To prove this, Van Huren's popularity, wo
will give the vote in Pennsylvania : In 1-:V2,
J ickson had !Kt,!H3 votes in 1-:I0, Van Hiiren
hnd 01, 17"i votes nnd in HID Vnn nuren had
M:l,0"( votes. From this it will br seen that
in 1""10 Van lluren had nearly one third more
votes than Gen. Jackson had in lS'.'J ; nnd yet
the American says Van nuren never had any
popularity in Pennsylvania."
The fi.r.elte must indeed presume much upon
Ihe iunoranrn and pulbbiliiy of its readers, if they
think they can palm ofl" the nbnvp statement ns a
.r inf of Mr. Vnn Huren's p"pula'ity in this state.
It is evident, front this statement, that they wish to
iinpre s upon the mi'ids of their reader, thai Van
lluren wa more popular than (Jen. J .ckson, be
cause be received a Inrgot vole. To ihow our read
ers Ihe fallacy, nnd wp might sy the absurdity of
the ni-ove, we need only slate that in IMJ not j
more than nalfilie vote of ihe State was polled, an 1
that, ccn with this small vole, Jackson's majori
ty was over So 000, whilst in lS2Sit was over
.'0,0(10. The true way of showing Vn Itur. n's
popularity would have been by comparing his mi
joii'ic with that of bis opponents. And how did
that st un' ? In 130 Van Duron succeeded by a
ti.njorby of a little ovei 4,000, Ilerks county alone
saved ihe State front going ag urist this truly popu
lar man. Hut what ea; s the rlimax of the ab
surdity of the (!.i7.ette's logic, nnd must even iis-
I toiiish itself, is its reference to the election of H10.
when Van Htiren actually lo t the State by a inn
joi'uy of "00 ng iinsl him.
