U appears tote a matter of deep gnxioly with GeV. Scott, In his letter of Oetober t 1651, to show that'he was once a Democrat,' and,pafliaily sup ported (ho administrations of Mr.' Jefferson and , Mr. Madison. The Whig papers areall engaged in publishing.this part of his letter, ;ond hunting up,something to corroborate it. One object is to furnish evidence to the people that Scott is an honest mani and onco associated with a respecta ble party, thinking thereby lo' catch Democratic voters who have a great disgust for the corruptions of the whig party. Another object, as he says himself, is to show lhst he was not a .Federalist. The evidence would bo very good proof of his character and proper.associations, if lie had not. deserted bis cobra and proved a turn. coat. This fact bears strongly against him—it shows.that ho was not soond at heart. He is anxious to secure the influence of a good Democratic character, but it is evident that it is merely the influence he wants to elevate him to political power, and lo fraudulent, ly pervert Its use to the promotion of.the .rankest federal doctrines. A singular faot, In connection with this, is/that ho turned traitor to his princi* pies just at (he (imo when (he Democratic parly commenced war with (hat monster of corruption, the United States Dank. Then he deserted the banner of Jefferson , end look tides with the monied aristocracy. Wo suppose Gen. Scott needs all the certificates of good character he can gel, lo sustain him in the face of the published evidence from the War De paumpni, pf having kept hack “and pocketed two months pay f Si'piemotr »mJ tf ia. soldiers then under his command , and which was not paid over until.afier (here was a Court of In. quiryheld on bis conduct, which court reported cause for a goneral conrt marshal. For this of fence and act of dishonesty, he was sentenced lo suspension for the period of oney ear from command and from pay and rank . If the Herald denies this, let him do it by publishing the official report of the trial. Gen. Scott is no moro successful in avoiding the charge of love for Federalism, by this evidence. Alexander Hamilton was the great father of Fede ralism, and started into .being the United States Hank, advocated a prohibition of foreigners from the rights of citizenship, and originated ihe idea of a Bankrupt law. Gen. Scott, in his fetter on parly politics, declares strongly in favor of a Uni* led Slates Bank, as being “necessary attd Indispen sable,” and in favor of a Bankrupt Lew; and in his letter to George W. Reed, ho says, “1 hesitate between extending the period of residence before naturalization, and a TOTAL REPEAL OF ALL ACTS OF CONGRESS *)N THE SUBJECT —my mind inclines to the i.ATTEß n —that Is, In favor of prohibiting foreigners from ever becoming citizens! Take this in connection with the time Gen. Scott ceased to be a member of the Democra tic parly, and if not a lover of Federalism, this is at leasfca very remarkable coincidence. When Gen. Scott loves and advocates the very principles and measnres which were the great landmarks of Federalism under Hamilton, it is hard to see the difference between Scollism and Wbigism, and Federalism. A Scott Galphinile, in on electioneering speech, took a walnut on to tbo stand. 110 told h>t..lftafcrs that the shell was ■^KTlcbb—that was Ibe •j’lio B k, n Wttß nauseous, pau *ii£«^¥agrooablo— that was the loco foco party.

Wo are requested to slate that Professor Bluraon dial, of Dickinson College, has been appointed by the Superintendents from tho Baltimore and Philadelphia Conferences, tho authorized agent to receive subscrlp* loos and take notes for the purchase of scholarships in Dickinson College under tho new plan. On an. tliorlty of Professor Blumenthal wo make tho follow ing brief statement of its features : A scholarship for four years can bo secured for 25 dollars, one for ten years for 50 dollars, and one for twenty five years for 100 dollars. The money is not to bo paid .until tho whole amount of ono hundred thousand dollars or upwards is subscribed for, when certificates of scholarships Win w ■..—• a V.J Iho Wlld T dt College. i Tho oeilifioalca will entitle the holder to send to , (he College a pnpU for the number of years specified , therein, but ho is at liberty to send for and at each . times ai.may suit his convenience until bo shall have taken out the whole lime subscribed for, for thosehol. arslups do not run out until ho Imssent for (he whole time to which he is entitled, lie may also com mence to send immediately after ho has received firs certificate or at any subsequent period, and may con. linuo lo send consecutively or at such intervals as may suit his convenience, though never less than ono year at o limej and he Is furthermore entitled to substitute atuhoend of a year one pupil for another. Tho Baltimore, Philadelphia, end Now Jersey i Conferences will take charge of and fund the money ; fur the use of the College, which gives to holders of t certificates an additional security fur the perfect safe ly of ttio plan. An opportunity is thus offered lo all to secure for their children, friends or for indigent orphans an cd. ucstion in ono of the oldest and best colleges of iho State at a rata which places it in (ho power of any ono to avail himself of it, for (ho holdor of a four years scholarship pays only al tho rale of six dollars snd a quarter per annum, while lie who holds a ton years scholarship gets it at five dollars per annum, and lie who purchases a twenty five years scholarship at four dollars per annum. Tho scholarships are transferable on (ho hooks of (ho treasurer of Iho college, so (hat any one may self his scholarship whenever and on what terms he plea. sob; and since these scholarships are,by a resolution of tho conference, lo be sold only within a limited period of time, they will undoubtedly in a short time after tho sale is closed, be at a considerable promi. um. •camp fires gas -hurrah Prof Blumonthal will remain in (own only fof a few days to givo all an opportunity to soonro a schol arship, and givo further explanation if any is desired.

The chorus io one before us rune as follows : -’ “For Beott lie la a darling, , Adorhng,a darling. Qli, Scott he is a darling.- f A darling,darling,darlingl” ■ .Wo have no doubt this is well suited to iho In tellectual capacity of those to whom it We hope they feel flattered with the compliment I, They certainly must be sensible that tbtey-possess: a high standing among the intelligent phrt-bFJcre ation, when they see a Whig band of singorl on the streets or at some party gathering, them to join their ranks, and'aingtng such a itrwi 6/ecliorua aa the above, as,an inducement.. Anoth er song, just following'the.above, is sung to\ho tune of “Dandy Jim of Caroline.” \ Whalavastdifforsncs there is in the course pdr* sued by the Democratic. parly, from that pursued by the Whigs.' Our Convention passed a series of resolutions embracing the great doctrines, min ctpies and' measures we advocate; and. orkcd in our hands, We go before'lho people, to make converts (o our cause.

ECOW& STATEEMAESIiIpC' - After publishing bis loUbr of acceptance, the Federal papers should never utter a whisper in defence of Gen. Scon’s statesmanship. That let* ter is proof against him—-proof that he is a vety weak vessel, entirely Incapable and leaky. His plan of naturalizing foreigners is origtna/with himself, and is such a plan as no sane man could have thought of. As late as 1B41; Gen. Scott wrote a letter, in which ho {Harin'favor of repeating ATdiUrafr x'aiion laws altogether ! But fltfw that he is a candidate, he is anxious to sccdre the support and influence of these same foreigners, against whom, but a few. years since, he was, to use his own language, “fired with indignation.” His tardy,and hollow-hearted recantation of this letter only earves to -in telligent citizens, ond his l&to offer to give'the fo reigner a right to vole, after one year’s service in time of war in the army or navy, only.shows how - far ho is disposed to go to counteract the effects of 1 his real opinion; even jf in the cflbrt.ld do so, ho makes himself despicapio and ridiculous. The Wheeling Jlrgua thus notices Gen. Scott's present plan for naturalizing foreigners: “Suppoed (hero was n war will) ISngtand, and hundreds of Irishmen joined our atandard who were not naturalized, they could not Jbecomo cliizcne until they were one year in the navy or army.— Suppose they wore taken prisoners—what would bo their fate!

Let tho motto of our patriot be: God and Liberty! Equal Rights to Native and Adopted Citizens! Why Don’t He Resign ? The Pittsburg Fosf says—Tho Whig party has nominated as their candidate for tho Presidency the Commander-in-Chief of the Army of tho Uni ted Slates, Major General Winfield Scott. Oen. Scott \frrote a “hasty” letter accepting tho nomi nation; but he has not'yot resigned his place in tho army. It is, therefore, evident, that ho wishes to unite in his own person, the “purse and tho sword, 1 * the very mention of which made the Whigs go almost into spasms, a few years ago. - Now, wo ask in all sincerity, why does not Gen. Scott resign his commission in (ho army, und doff his opadfaltsT If ho is certain of being elected President, as claimed by (he WMgvho Ml then receive a salary of 925,000 per annum* vvlflch is about four limes tho compensation allowed him at present. But perhaps ho wishes to draw tho sal ary attached to both offices! The honest truth Is, Geo. Scott doe's not expect to be elected President, and liencp lip,concludes that “a bird in the hand Is tvorlli two In-tho bush.” Ho would raiher draw $7,000 per annum out of the National Treasury,and wear the-Ug feather, than have the empty honor of beingf a defeated candidate for tho Presidency. - -•» Scott is wise,and knows a “hasty plate of soup” from a piece of green choose!
