U"We neither know nor care whether Gen. Scott wrote the communication referred to or not. We do know, however, that, whatever opinions he may have had in relation to an amendment of the naturalization laws heretofore he now says that he does not desire anv other change than to give the right of citizenship to ail such as may have served their adopted country during the existence of war. That is his true position. Gov. Wright and the Sentinel know it to he so; and whenever they assert to the contrary thev state that which they know to be unirtio. Indiana Journal . O ye! He has changed That hobby was not strong enough to carry the hero ol an hundred battles into the Presidency, and a change, a sudden change, has come over him. Eight years ago he drew up a bill which he submitted to the public, in which he proposed: To exclude mil aliens Joreeer from the rifht to vote in any puhl-x tlttion tchaJever. except "Such aliens who hall have served two years in the army or navy." A propositi 1.1 infinitely worse than the alien laws of old John Adams. We hold that the man who would deliberately avow and put forth tich principles, ia totally unfit to be President of th I'nited States. Mr. Buchanan, one of the purest patriots in the land, bas never been mentioned as a candidate for office without ' being charged with having been a federalist in IS 11; although it is not denied that for the last forty years he kas been an unwavering Democrat. W. R. King is charge! with having voted for a Bankrupt law in 1827 ; althoogh it is admitted that he voted against the Bank- i nipt act of 1843. Under the Whig practice the statute of limitations is n?t permitted to run against a Democrat. Once a federalist, always a federalist, is their doctrine. But the deliberate opinions of Gen. Scott, expressed on tho subject of naturalization, eight vears ago, are to be taken for nothing. He bas changed says ! his flatulent admirers. Had these monstrous Anti-Republican sentiments been the "hasty" ill-digested opio.ans of youth and inexperience, then there would have ' been some excuse. But they were deliberately penned at the age of sixty years ; after he had served in the war of 1812, and the Black Hawk and Florida wars. These infamous doctrines cannot be expunged fiom the platform of Gen. Scott and the Whig party, by the ery of change. The Whig editors and Whig orators, taking their cue from Greek, may "owe it the In,' but that will not avail. The proposition is simply this. No man not born on American soil, ha any right to a vote, a voice, or even to "think'' on public affairs. We may invite the Meaghcrs, the O'Briens, the Mitehets, and all the Irish patriots to seek an asylum in our land, but they and their children who riay have been so nifortnnate as to be born abroad, according to Gen. Scott's doctrines, must live in a -.täte of total political disfranchisement, unless they would rnrn a oiiiifnhip by Sf-.r-ing ia the army or navy during the time of war, one year. But thank Heaven. Oen Scott was not President to carry oat his monstrous docuines ; and thanks to the , honest, patriotic, and true hearted Democracy, he never j will be. Bat he has changed, say liie Whig- W ask ; the qnestion is there a voter in Indiana who would support Oen. Scott for the Presidency entertaining such opinions now! We think tb-re is not on". Then would it not be better to select the man whose opinions were 1 always right? If so, vole f.i Frank Pierce, on whose reputation there is no stain of native Americanism. UTTbe ''Cosmopolite' has again returned, and in (he Journal attempts to prove that Nativism had its origin i in Tammany Hall, New York, with the Democratic party, and to prove it he gives the names of Trim an, Quack-1 enboss, Wheeler, Woodruff, Mulion and Denms, active Natives, who he says, weu Democrats. Thee are ob- , scare men. We know but one of thorn, Mr. Woodruff, and : he is now a supporter of Gen. Scott. The others may have been, an J probably were, some disappointed officer seekers, who had voted the Democratic ticket. That j some such men may have taken lodging at the half way j house uf nativism. wc admit. Bat our assertion is not denied. We again repeat it: " Not one prominent Democrat of position or influence, ever had any connection with the Native American parly.'' ' The writer admits bat James Harper, Whig and Native, was elected Mayor of New York, and that the Whigs and Natives united for the election of members of the Legislature, as the only mode of defeating the Democrats. Was not Gen. Dearborn of Massachusetts a Whig I Were not William I. Miller, Henry J. Seamon. W. W Campbell, L. C. Levin and J. H. Campbell, Native members of Cougress, original Whigs Was not W. 9. Archer, who in the Senate proposed to extend the term of residenco before naturalization to 21 years, a Whig? Was not Henry Johnson of Lousiana, who proposed in the Senate to extend the terms of residence and otherwise amend the naturalization laws, a Whig? Was not Gen. Scott, the anthor of the Reed letter, and Amercus correspondence, two documents full of the rankest Nativism, a Whig? Answer these qnestions before yon to Philadelphia. More Testimony. Major Chase of the regular army, a Whig, publishes in the Union an article defending the military reputation of Gen. Pierce. There is bnt one opinion among the officers of the regular army, and that opinion is highly favorable to Gen. Pierce, and we are informed, by one rvho knows, that he will receive tbe vote of nine tenths of tbe officers. The following i, the eonelrding sentence of the Major's card"If the Whigs hope to succeed by reckless asp.'tion of the character of their presidential opponent, I can tell them that in one State at least they will signally fail; for in Louisiana thousand, of Wbiga will anile with such writer, a, "A Looker on in Venice" in denonncinf such base means. WILLIAM. H. CHASE, Major of Engineers." ITOarold friend. Sam Parker, is, we learn, circula. ting Abolition documents, got up at the National Era office, to show that Pierce is in favor of the Compromise and opposed to tha right of petition.
