SCOTT AS A PABTIZAN, " On account of his military services daring the lalo war with Great Britain and the War with Mexico, Ike people loilhqul distinction of parly > in tend to elect General Winfield Scott' President, 11 —— Harrisburg Telegraph. We clip the above sentence from an article in the Harrisburg Telegraph, It is tho old trick ove r again. In 1840, the Federalists succeeded in elec ting Geo, Harrison by on abandonment of oil prin ciples (if they ever had any to abandon,) and by assuring the people that Gen. Harrison would not be a party President. So too, in the last Presidential election. Gon. Taylor himself assured the people that in theevent of his election be “would not be a parly President,” that he would proscribe,no man because of his political opinions,” that ho “was a no-party man,” &c. These declarations were reiterated by every Whig editor and slump speaker from one end of Ilhe Union 1 1 the other. Democrats were assured 1 that Gen. Taylor’s political opinions wore in ac cordance with the principles maintained by tho Democratic parly. By this kind of legerdemain, i the Federalists succeeded in seducing many De mocrats from duty, and Gen. Taylor, like Gen. Harrison, owed his election to Democrats. The administration of Harrison was a failure, and that of Taylor was even worse than a failure, and both were famous for proscription of Demo- crats. And now tho ve attempting to play the same game over again I A Whig paper before us appeals to Democrats to support Gen. Scott, and os an inducement, assures them that the Gon. is “not a warm partlzan,”'and thm, in iho event of his election, “he will not proscribe men because of their political sentiments 1” And the Harrisburg Telegraph appears to think that Scott’s military services should secure him the support of the people, “without distinction of parly.” Yes, '•without distinction of party!” This is always iho cry of Federalism. They dare not avow thei principles and ask the people to support their can didate because ho adheres to those principles, but they desire to divert public attention from the questions at issue between the two parties, and appeal to the people to support Gen. Scott because of his “military services,” and because, as they falsely assert, he is “ not a warm partizan!"— What! Gen. Scott not a warm partizan! The man who has avowed himself favorable to the im famous ALIEN LAW of the elder Adams—in fa vor of excluding all aliens forever from the right to vole in any public elections whatever, except such aliens first servo two years in the army or navy—in favor of tho defunct and infamous BANK RUPT L\W—in favor of a UNITED STATES BANK.—in favor of a high and oppressive PRO HIBITORY TARIFF, by the operation of which tho poor man would be crushed to the earth by the iron heol of wealthy manufacturers—favorable to' all those measures, we say, and yet not a “warm . partizan,” indeed ! Why ho is tho very embodi. mentof double-distilled Federalism. Hehaspub licly avowed himself favorable to all the exploded and condemned measures that were ever advoca ted by the Federal parly in its most palmy days. If there be a warm, decided, bitter, and vindictive partizan in the United Slates, Gen. Scott is that man. We would warn Domocrals, therefore, not to be again deceived by the hypocritical cant pul forth by unprincipled Federal editors, who have the hardihood to say that Scott is not a '‘warm parti san.” ft is the same falsehood that was used in tho Harrison and Taylor campaigns, and ia resor ted to for the same purpose. Let our opponents meet us on fair grounds, and let them base Gon. Scott’s claims on tho principles he has publicly 1 avowed himself favorable to. This is tho ground ihe Democrats occupy. We caro not a straw whether Gen. Pierce “ killed a Mexican” or not, nor do wo care whether ho ever set fool on Mexi can ground. We favor his election because of tho principles he advocates—because of his sterling democracy—because of his ability—because he is a sagacious and prudent statesman. Lot the Fed eralists—if they havo any principles left—avow them, and appeal to the people for support, if they dare! Mr. Webster—Ocn. Scott, In his lalo speech in Boston Mr. Webster made use of some expressions which indicate very clear* ly that tbo best possible feelings do not exist be- livppn lh» groat aialosmon of Massachusetts and his successful rival for the Whig nomination; but no reasonable man could expect that one who has done more lo sustain his party than any other liv ing man, could fall to feel, and also to express, mortification, at such a plain manifestation of truckling to the mere Idea of availability. The expressions which ’follow are certainly severe enough: “No man can forseo the future;-1 prefer lo forsee nothing, the future is not ours—the present is all we can claim. I now thank you for tho groat kind ness and regard you always have shown me. 1 1 thank you more especially for the ci'uic procession of this day.

A bel of $-10,000 on Gon.Scott’s election was ad vertiaod in tho National Intelligencer on Tuesday morning, and by cloven o'clock a gentleman called at the office of tho advertiser to lake it op; alao several others, with funds amounting in a]] to 817,000. wore ready to stake that Gen. Pierce will bo elected. A commission of five per cent, was asked of and agreed to by Pierce’s friends; and ultimately (ho parlies who advertised, it is reported, • backed out.' Tho Savannah Jlepublioan, (Whig.) referring to the greatest farce of the season—(ho letter of Seward announcing that ho would lake no cabinet office under Scott—thus exposes in a few words all Its transparent hollowness and hypocrisy; “No sensible man should over have suspected Mr. Seward of a desire to have a seat in tho cabi net, Ho Is too smart for that. Tho man who ma/resnominations —who wields on immense party as a warrior does his bottlo-axo—who pulls the I wires and overlooks tho field—such a man would hardly accept a placo under anybody. Nor is it necessary to have a seat in tho cabinet to direct tho administration.

The “fuss and feather” production of our old , Whig friend, Gen. Armor, is a com pound of words. It amounts to ju^l—nothing. He says he knows all about the trial ol Gen.

Armor also says Chat as ‘'but two soldiers appeared as witnesses against Capl. Scott at his trial-, he presumes they were all that had pay duo them.” Now to show the falsHy of this statement, wecopy from the record of the trial the following affidavit of the men composing Capl. WindfieW Scott’s company :■ “We, the undersigned, non-commissionecf offi cers, musicians and Captain Winfield Scott’s company, regiment of Tight artillery, do solemnly swear, that we have not received any pay from the United Stales, for our service during the' months of September and October, 1808; and iliat 1 we have not signed, at any time, any receipt roll for our'pay, for the months of September and Oc . tober, 1808.” t [Signed by the Lieutenant of the company and 27 privates.] We think this is testimony sufficient to sbn that Gen. Arraojuknows nothings about the subject ho 'attempts Indeed, it is not at all probable that he does know anything abtrat it, for it Is certain he was not present at the trial of Gen. Scoll, nor has he, we believe, ever oven read the proceedings of that trial. He Icnowt nothingibotit it. And yet he modestly tells the public thtfl “ho knows all about it,” and then goes on to make a statement which proves the very reverse of what ho says. Wo again ask the Herald to publish the official report of the Court Martial that tried Gen. Scott, and which Court suspended him from command and pay for one year. Wo desire no heller proof to sustain the charges wo have made against Gen. Scott. Gen. Pierce by a Whig. The following, says the Now Hampshire Patri ot, is on extract from a letter writer from this town, by a New York JVhigy to a friend in Albany, and published »n tne Aioany JirgUa. The portrait ol Gen. Pierce is a very truthful one, except that he is not *a man of properly” In the usual acceptation lof that phrase.

The nationality of the Whig parly is destroyed ; and the ma n above all others—Fillmore, who was entitled to the nomination, and who would have boon acceptable to bis parly—has been ongener. ously set aside by the wire working*, intrigue, lying, and vile management of as corrupt a faction as ever handed together, for similar purposes, this side of the infernal regions! It will not be more than one month from the day on which Scott was nominated, until every sensible reading roan will see that he can’t gel the electoral vole of a single Stale south of the Potomac not one. He ought not to gel one vnin. It is duo to the Whigs of the Sonlh that they should at ones wash their hands of the nomination, and shake their skirts nf its odium, shame and disgrace.

Tho fact is, they ’ aro sur prised, mortified and ashamed at the result of their Convention—so that (heir defeat is certain.” Another gentleman, writing to the editor of the Richmond Enquirer, from Raleigh, N.

Tho policy of this government, from its beginning, has been, that the flag of this republic shall bo upheld and defended by American citizens—those who nro titizens either by birth or naturalization —and none others ; and I hope never to see the day when it will become necessary for this mighty nation to havo that (lag defended by anybody else. _ When you need mercenaries, owing you no allegiance, to fight your bottles, yon will bo ready for a master, and Will soon find one. When you ore not willing to defend your selves, either from Internal commotions of foreign aggressions—when you trust that tlag to any other harflls than (hose of citizens either native born or fully adopted—you betray the cause of liberty and your country. 1 want the flag of my country to be defended only by those who oro mlitled to clc. mand and receive her protection. They arc able to do it; and I trust they ever will bo both able nod willing. Let thoso who come among ns assume the obligation of citizenship voluntarily, according Id the constitution and laws; then they havo an interest in that flag, and h*vo the right to join in its do . fence.
