Scott declined supereeding Gen. Taylolin thecommand of the. Army, of Oeinpation, but was reedy to tithe command of the new forces raised by order of Con. git,ss, as mum as they could he Moldered : into the field. Imieediately a ft er this determined \ ori the part of • Gee. Scott, the Secretary of 11iT . intro duced a Bill into the Senate •innhorisin Fheap -1 peiniment'ef two additional Major Generals, and four Brigadier Generals. Gen. Scott, supposing this movement to'be en attempt on the part: of the Administration to get rid of him, and with the characteristic of an injured soldier, - wrote a very 1 sharp and hasty letter to the Secretary of War, in which he made .use of the following language: "Against the ad captandum condemnation of all other persons, whoever may be designated for the high command in question, there can be no re liance (in his absence) other than the active, can did, and steady support of his government. If .I . cannot have that sure basis to rest upon, it will be infinitely better for the country .(not to speak of my personal security) that soma other commander of the new army should . lected. NO matter ed e who he may_be, he shaat I 'list, be judged and supported . by me. in this o co and' everywhere _else, as I would resire. i rsonally in that com mand, to be My' If judg . d supported. My explicit meaning is, thr . it I do not desire to place myselCin the most perilous of all positions— a fire upon my scar from IYashington, Ad the fill" in from front the Mexicans. It was distinctly admitted, and laid down as a basis, in the interviews I had the'honor to hold with the President and yourself upon the subject, that a special army of some thirty thousand troops, regulars, and twelve month s volunteers, would necessary for the march against, and the conques of a peace in, Mexico. I adhere to that opinion.' Ho also goes into the deiails and asserts the that number of troops cannot be collected at th various pints to invade Mexico. much before flip first of September, and that it is unnecessary for Jbim to assume the command of the Amy before that period, and winds up with the following no .ble sentiments, which will meet-with a hearty re , . 'sponse in the heart a every patriot in• the cond . ! try :' .. . • 7lt is always unjust to a junior General who" has-done well,- and is supposed to be doing to sdpercedo him by a General of higher rank wit Lout sending by the latter corresponding rein forcements. I should esteem myself the unhappy instrument of wounding the honorable pride of the ga"llant and judicious Taylor, if ordered to su persede him under different circumstances." In another letter Gcn. Scott says: ", .•I think my preliminary and necessary octupa , tiou may be ended here (say) three days more, when—premising that after the great and brilliant victories of the gallant Taylor, (of which we have recently beard,) I should be ashamed to superssede him before the arrival of competent reinforcements' to penetrate the interior of Mexico, and to conquer' a peace—l shall be ready for any instructions or orders with which the President may honor me.'.' The President took umbrage at the letter of Gen.,Scott, and directed the Secretary of War 'to say to him that he would be eentioued in his pre sent position at. Washingtoti.' The difficulty,. appears to have been crested by an attempt on t!‘e part of the Administration to force Gen. Scott to supersede Gcn. Taylor in the command of the Army of Occupation, contrary to pre'vious arrangements, agreed upon by the Presi dent and Geo. Scott. Whither, Ger.

Therefore, - . ' . . 1 Iltesoleed, That the Whig Tariff of 1842 ,eeovered the country all "over" with a degree'of prosperity unparalled in the annals of the nalionl and that we will. stand by it through goodul evill report, as the great sheet of our p ro s= ,perity.

Tariff which 'combines the principles of both protection and Revenue; and which. while it gives employment to theta. bor and industry of the country, and has cieateii al home market for the products of the -farmer at, ,good prices, it has:replenished our National Tress ury with abundant Means to repel invasion from 'abroad, to ar.d chastise the enem nt of the country.
