W lIX SHOULD SCOTT BE ELECTED 7--
Apart from rewarding General Scott for
fighting in a war which his present sup,'
porters nearly all opposed, what other ob ,
pet is to be accomplished by his election?
We have the testimony, reluctant, but pos
itive, of such whits papers as the New
York Express and the National "radii
gencer, that .the independent treasury is
working wonders in commercial circles—
that the tariff of 1846 has produced an
overflowing revenue—and we can see for
ourselves that the nation never was-I more
prosperous. Gen. Scott is pledged against
the tariff and the (independent treasury,
and committed to a bank and bankrupt
law. To upturn what is doing so much
good, to disturb the trnnquility and the
prosperity 'of the • country, and to elevate
the enemies of the constitution to. power,
would be the practical results of showing
our gratitude to General Scott by making
him President. Why, then, should he be
