"A HASTY PLATE OF S0UP.M 1
"My explicit meaning isthat-I vdty not
desire to place myself n the nibst perilous
of all positions a fire upon my rear front
Washington, and the fire in front from
the Mexicans." Gen. Scott's Letter, f. '
The correspondence between General
Scotjt anti the War T)epartmentvvill Be
found in the columns of the Enquirer this
morning. . Of course at a period. Ij ke th is,
such a, Correspondence between, the Com
mander in Chief of1 the- American Army
and the' S'ecertary ol-War, will attract at
tention. The' great public, who habitually
watch their representatives and servants,
both in theCivil and Military Departments
of the government, will read and will
judge, ft is their province to do ro, artS
no palliative can restrain the force bf their
opinion. ' ' !
r It is well knownChat this journal, while
it has differed with General Scott political
ly, has ever awarded the highest merit
to his past, career as an intrepid soldier
and a skilful officer. ..But however meri
torious may have been his acts upon the
field bitherto, it seems as if the time had
come when he has forgotten himself, for
gotten his plain duties as corfigiandet pf
our forces--Ac who should be the foun
tain of all that is exemplary in military
regime, and the pattern of a soldier to both
commissioned officer and private.
We have read the Letters of General
Scott with Surprise that he should have
(hastily it is to be hoped) made him
self the dupedf SUch UnjUst & Ungenerous
suspicions regret that he should have
madearl exhibition which, ia the eyes of
foreign nations, may terid to disparage our
military establishment. t Conduct so unsdl-dier-like,
dnd so little iri accordance with
what was to be expected from ! the princi
pal military officer of our Country can
dnly be accounted for by supfposing him
to be the Victim of hasty suspicions, fanned
by political ambitidn.
General Scott had, through the Confi
dence df the President, been assigned to
the chief cdmmaind of oUr forces upon the
Mexican frontier. This command was,
given him promptly & without hesitation,;
a"s sodn as the War bill hecam'e a law.
True, he immediately cdmmenced prepa
rations for Carrying on the Campaign. But
what else does he do? Unlike the Roman
Senator, Semprdnius, who did not "long
debate' he turns his evesl towards Con-
gress and the politicians. He has two
parts to plaiy, the politician and the sol
dief. He sinks the latter for the time be
ing, and determines that he will see the
former safe, before he quits his position.
He conceives he 'has enemies in "high
quarters? and he resolves that he will re
main in Washington, and let the battles of
his country be fought as they may be, un
til he shall have silencea all opposition, and
relieved himself from a "fire in the rear?
Then, when every one is prepared to say,
HaH ta the Chief,' he will go and obey
the orders of bis President. Is it surpri
sing that, undeiWuch circumstances, Mr.
Polk should pfetfo let hinrj remain in
Washington, and take his2 "hasty plate of
soup about 6 P. M.," whilst (Jen, Taylor
"old rough and ready"-? whom some
of the Whig press hare described in his
tent taking a plain meal upon a pine
board, out of a tin pan, Was continued in . the
command of our troops? ; ; J .
But, tfetUng aside the dereliction of that
duty which Gen. Scott owed 'the Govern
nient as a ' soldier setting aside, the bad
seem! fness in Ms conduct- setting aside
the bad example which he set, and
its teiideriey to subvert, that discipline
which is indispensable to all armies;-
what reason hafd'he for; asserting: and com
plaining that he had enemies In high quar
ters?' If he meantr persowalvenemJes,
surely,. there cdxild have been ncr difficulty
iii meeting arid exposing' them.; !liayfng
aside the military man he referred 'io 'en
emies in politital strategy, r why ;;had hot
others the same csfuse of cavil 'asitrfself?
Who, were TaylprandR
lntoshi and-May, -and the color of whose
p o I i t i C8 h a s n o t been pi ctu red ? Who Wer
they,? but Whigs? -true, genuine, Henry
Clay Whigs? J They thought not, dreamed
not, of "enemies in high quarters? they
did not ;suspectiprecpndena;tjqn,,v but
served their country With alacrity, and so
doing, have won a renown which other
officers "in high quarters" may well envy.
. If, however, Gen. Scott referred to "en
emies" in the shape of Presidential aspir
rants: if he meant to convey theidea that
he was unwilling to go to Mexico because
he feared lest candidates for the Presiden
cy jeajous.of his . prospects, should, (to use
his ovvn nhrase.V fire unoh hiim from the
rearr-theh he

hasunquestionably. defeated
G h i eftai n has spiked h i s
own gu. General Jackson,1 in the day of
his highest popularity, would have been
withered and overcome by such a delara
tion ;: And: if Geri. Scott, after having
been courteously treated, frankly consul
ted with, and assigned the highest post of
honor by the Administration, should find
himself "minus the applause of Congress,
minus the confidence of the country, mi
nus the nominitqn of the Whig Presiden
tial Convention, he will only have to thank
his own hair" splitting surmises & his over
weening ambition for so Untoward a result.

Gen. Taylor nominated for the Pre

ing of the friends of Gen. 7ay lor, met at
Trenton, N J.J on Friday evening, for the
purpose of nominating the Hero of the Rio
