We bope ihat alljour readers will peruse and remember the proofs we are now about to. adduce. They show that this second .

Scott, de livered at the City Hall, New York May 25, 1848, on occasion of his return from Mexico.: v JV$tt--' " Though I am a soldier, and therefore supposed jo be fond of fighting, abhor War, except when prose cuted in defence of pur country, or for the preservation of its honor, or of sortie great, important nay, cardinal interest. hold war to be a great moral end. Itmuist be for good and substantial reasons for no forced brtfalse pretext, however plausibly set forth, that war can be warrantably waged, or that6 can justify any man in shedding the blood of! his felow-beings. . The interests of New York and of our whole country are' identified with peace, and with every duty of Christian morality" And we give another passage iri-trits connexion, when the old hero congratula ted some of his friends on the restoration of peace, on his return from Mexico, in the city of New York : 1 " You have been pleased, sir, to allude to our adopt ed citizens. I can say that the Irish; the Germans, the Swiss, the French, the Britons, and other adopted citizens, fought in the same ranks, under the same colors, side by side with native-born Americans, exhibiting lik;e courage and efficiency, and uniting at every victory- iki the same enthusiastic shouts ia honor of our flag and country. From Vera Cruz to the Capital! of Mexico there was one generous rivalry in heroic daring and brilliant achievement. Let those who witnessed tbit career of valor and partriotism say, if they can, what race, according to nupibers, contributed most to the gen eral success and glory of the campaign. 0n the maiiijy hard-fought battle-fields there was no room for invidious distinction; all provejd themselves the faithful sons; of our beloved country, and no spectator could fail to dis miss any lingering prejudice fee might have entertained as to the comparativ merits of Americans by birth anil Americans by adoption. As the honored representative of all, 1 return amon you to bear testimony in favor of my fellow-soldiers inthe field, the army of Mexico j and I congratulate yu and them that the common ob ject of their efforts and your hopes the restoration of peace- is in all probability now attained." ! ; ! - These are glorious words, worthy the conqueror-4aye, and the "Conqueror of Peace" on his return from the fields of his renown, jit has been well said that, " With a man alt the head of the Govern ment, knowing no distinction of section or birth, favorable to the development of tne resources of the country, by a nrooer svs tern of improverients tection to our ndustry,and particularly agriculture, anil ma ntaming our peace both externally and internally, bow can the country fail to prosper?" and reasonable pro From the ftationil Intelligencer.
