Another Hate Fabrication Against Gen.
Scott Dispelled.
To the Editors of the New-York Express.
la your paper of the 23d inst., I noticed
from some strictures of your own, that the
profligate and corrupt organ of Locofocoism j
in the Keystone State, the Penmylcaniati , re
iterates tile falsehood of which Us conductors
were the authors, that Gen. Scott was respon- :
siblc for the licensing of the gambling houses
in the city of Mexico, after it had been con- J
entered by the army under ljim. Nothing is
more destitute of truth than the assertion, j
The first civil and military Governor of the
city of Mexico was Major General Quitman, |
an ultra democrat, and his successor was ■
Brevet Brigadier General Rersifer F. Smith, i
likewise of the same school of politics, and j
opposed in this respect to Gen. Scott. Major •
General Quitman, as the first Anglo Saxon
Governor of Mexico, established all its mu
nicipal regulations after it was brought under
the subjection of the American flag, and he j
fixed the amount of licenses for drinking, !
gaming, and other public houses of a similar ;
character, without consultation with, or in- j
terference from, Major Gen. Scott. The ,
writer of this, under the direction of the
civil and military Governor, issued most of
those licenses with his own hand, and has i
now a record of the same. When, therefore,
the Pennsylcanian, or any other equally de
praved newspaper, attempts to hold Gen. j
Scott responsible for the licensing of drink- ;
ing and gaining houses in the city of Mexico,
for imiiO'i ii practices, they are guilty of
perpetrating as malicious an aspersion against
him, as the depravity of the human heart
can engend'-r. Gen. Smith, on succeeding
Major Gen. Quitman, increased the amount
of one class of licenses from the honest con- i
vietion that the bet interests of ogr own !
arrnv, required that both if possible, should
be suppressed. And in doing this, he but
exercised a discretion that was vested in him
bv virtue of the trust which had been con
fided to him, and with which the General-in-
Chief had no right to interfere, unless that
.discretion was abused "ither to the detriment ,
of the American army, <>r to the community
at large, that *>v,i.s affected by it.
lla<f the licenses lon made ten times as
high as thy were, it would have been a most
fortunate thing for many a locofoco officer of i
the army, and some of whom are sought to be
rewarded by their party v'.th the highest
civil honor known to our institutions. L
comes, therefore, with a v.-rv poor grace from
rue P nns'Avani to charge Jen'. Scott with
immoraiii \ bccato-e the civil and military
Governors of the city of Mexico, who were
indebted to liiru fi.r that honor, had attempted
to Bupprfs.< gambling bv assessing a tax ujmn
all who !. r.-t gai-tmg houses of any descrip
tion.
Both the administration r>f Major General
.Quumnti and Gen. Moult, as the two Ameri
can Governors of Mexico, were so satisfactory,
that t u n. hcutt had no r asf-u to interfere in !
thf' least with the municipal rules and rogu- i
I itiens adopted f.v either of them. Gambling j
aim it : the Mexicans regarded its ana- ,
lion <1 virtue, rendering the temptations t.
those of our own arinv who w<*re at alt ad
dicted M this pernicim..- vhv, almost irres;<- ,
tibie. Many squandered their entire pay, i
and all that could be burrowed by them, j
from friends, a th-<e gaming hous -s ; and
both Gen,, Quitguin jjid Gen. Gufith r- ised i
u 1 the power tli-y poascs.- *d to le#;on the S
vice, if they could not entirely Bupprew. it.
Had either or both of them, consulted Gen. j
Scott, there van be tgj duiiLt le. would have 1
applauded tb' H' uive that prompted them, i
arid extended to th irn any authority he could
legally clothe theiv with, whether by tax
ation or otherwise, to suppress gambling in
the city of Mexico altogether It v,.is with
this design alone, that the license system,
both ns r'gnrds drinking and gambling hous- .
i was established by G-m Quitman, and
arried out by Gen. .Smith is h - sucf rcsor a,
Governor <>f the eiiy of Mexico; and so far
from its being ground for ceir-uring - ith r of
th- at. or General Sentt. wfio v..is Geperal-in
l.'hief of the Army, it should b cagS". f>i
approbation on the part of ev TV moral and
upright man in the community;
The history of th- • orGj doe- not furnish
:i instance where a en a. pa _* r i invading an
enemy s country was ev*r coti lueied upon as
humane, magnanimous, aul rigidly moral
principles, as was the campaign o( S 'ott. in
marching over and conquering >! ,'xicq. The
statesman, the phihrnihropist. the Christian,
the generous and feelhyg conqueror, can be i
traced in every line and .upon ev. iy page of
the history of that memorable and on- j
equalled brilliant campaign ; and great and i
overshadowing as v.as th" fame of General j
Scott previous the command of the
imerii an army in Mexico, the crowning swt
of his glory and world-wide renown is the :
line of conduct h • pursued upon every battle- !
field, and after every victory, and in his tri
umphant march from Vera Cruz to the an
eientcityof the Aztecs Th o Prnusylranian,
therefore, in assailing him is, like the viper
biting a file.
ONE WHO SERVED UNDER SCOTT.
A few years ago a sto\o was unknown in 1
Turkey. Now they gre f ,u;id in a majority
of the cafes in Constantinople, and iu the
.dwelling houses of the rich. They are most- ;
Iv either American stoves, or made after (
American models, many of them being man
ufactured by pupils of the seminary at Bir
heck. They are now finding their way far
into the interior. A short time since, a letter j
was p>ut into the hands of a missionary, for
him to forward, which was addressed to "R.
at the coffee shop which has a stove, Sivas."
