General Scott, as we have already said, occupies the highest ground asa military man. His private character is without a stain. But he bas not exhibited, at any time, the bold, courageous, or mighty talent» which both Mr. Clay and Mr. Webster have exhi- bited, on civil affairs and matters of State. Mr Webster is a great and cautious statesman. He weighs well all he suys and does; and when an im- portant crisis in the affairs of the country occurs, he takee his stand. He has varied and changed his course and his opinions, to be sure, as all statesmen before him have done. He was, during one period of his career, an advocate of free trade, and after- wards became a thorough tariff man. He also changed his opinions om the slavery question, and supported, might and main, the compromise mea- sures that were passed by the last Congress. These measures were urged on Congress by a small por- tion of the press--the Heral/ being one of .he first— ard the plan of conciliation which they embraced was aljopted by Mr. Clay and several o her distin- guished patriots; but they wore first taken up by the sage of Ashland, whe had the courage to bring them forward in Congress.

First Movement of the Whig Party in Refe= rence to the Presidency. The whigs of the State of Pennsylvania will as semble at Lancaster, on the twenty-fourth day of thie month, for the purpose of nominating eand dates for the Governorship, and other offices, at the mext election. Although the convention has bee ealled only for the nomination of State officers, it is very probable, if not certain, that the delegates will either directly nominate a candidate for the Presidency, or declare their preference for some particular one. Certain of the free soil delegates are supposed to be in favor of Genemal Scott, and also many whigs. Others are for Webster— ethers for Clay—a few for Fillmore. There will, sccording to present appearances, certainly be great contest in that convention on that subject, especially between Scott and Webster. The history of the whig party of the United States, in reference to their se.ection of candidates forthe Presideney, has been very curious for the Jest few years. Every one recollects that part of their opposition to General Jackson was the fact that be was a military man; and they asserted, over end again, that no military man was fit for the office. It was in those days part of their platform te have nothing to do with military men fur the Presidency. In course of time, however, they abandoned these ideas, and adopted the system which had been practised with a good deal of suc- ess by their opponents. They, too, looked around fer military candidates on whom to concentrate their force, and who offered a reasonable prospect ef succes Accordingly, in 1840, they selected General Harrison as their candidate, and by dint of vesuscitating accounts of his old victories, and by Singing songs and swallowing hard cider by the bar- pol, throughout the country, they elected him to the White House. They made a bad choice, how ever, for General Harrison was utterly unfit to @eeharge the duties of the office; and if be had not died, it is almost cermin his admi- nistration would have been in a minority, with his own party even, in the course of two or three months. Every one knows the history of the government woder Captain Tyler, who succeeded to the office. But the lesson which the whigs got in 3640 was thrown away. In 1848 they selected ano- er military man as their candidate, and in com mon with us they made a similar blunder. n. Taylor was avery amiable and estimable man in Private life, and his courage and skill as a general —in the camp or on the field of battle— sere indis putable, and never, to our knowledge, were doubt- ed. We believe, however, it is admitted ox all | t a suitable person to fill the | hands that he was Presidential chair. His administration of the go- vernment during the bricf period of time Gapeed from his irauguration to his deach, did not | satisfy the ¢ mmunity, while his cabinet were con- sidered the weakest that were ever elevated to the Offices which they held Now, one would ruppose that with the experience they had in this respect, the whigs would not have again selected a military man as their candidate for the Presidency. Put in spite of all theve disastrous fesults, we now see the whig party in l’ennsylvania, and in other parts of the country, determined to abandon all their leading statermen—<neh as Mr Clay and Mr. Webster—and adopt another military man, Cen. Scott, as their candidate for the elec @f 1852. This question will, in all probability, be Booted in the State convention about to assemble in Lancaster: and if we are not mistaken, there is no doubt it will give rise to an animated diseussion on the respective merits and qualifications mili tary meo and statesmen, for the Presidency of the United States. It must be acknowledged, that aa a military man, General Scott has performed infinite service to bis country, and that he has done probably more than any other one man, to give us the groat military reputation which we have throughout the world. We believe, at this moment, that, as a ilitary man, he stands as high as any in the world, hot excepting even the Duke of Wellington; but in other respects, as a politician and statesman, for festance, he does not exhibit the same degree of in- Selligence, or the same talent or discretion, which he did when flogging the Pritioh in the war of 1812 Or the Mexicans in the war of 184%. On tho other hand, we have w « smen in tho highest sense of the term- esmen who have grown grey serving int a f the nation ten whore talents tat known through out the whole world has Honry Clay, of K tucky, and Daniel Webster, of churetts, eith: of whom ie emin ly qualified to t resident.

General Scott and Mr. Webster are the two leading men who will be brought forward at the whig State Convention in Lancaster, in connection with the Presidency. Which will be selected? This is a question of great importance, at the pre- sent time, for the whole country, especially the whig party and the office-holders, are awaiting the action of the Lancaster State Convention with great interest, in reference to their nominating a candidate for the Presidene; Mr. Corwiy’s Estimargs or re Revenve, ato nEmR CoRRECTNESS— GovVERNMEN Mr. Corwin, the present Secretary of the Treasury, in his report of December last, estimated, no doubt with the view of influencing Congress to increase the tariff, that the receipts into the treasury would be comparatively small for the present year, and that, by the first of July, there would be in the treasury a balance of only $45: 996 99, and that by the first day of July, 1852, the would be a deficiency of $505,996 19. Now, how is Mr. Corwin sustained by the facts? Why, instead of there being suly a small sum ia the treasury the first of July next, there will be a surplus of p bably seven ions, as the receipts to tae present time have exceeded his estimates six millions of | dollars nd the probability is, that on the frst of July, 1852, instead of there being a deficiency, there | will be rplus of fifteen millions of dollars. ‘This is a fair example of the manner in which the affairs of the government are managed at Washing- ton, and of the credit which treasury estimates are | entitled to. It shows a great want of intellig: on the subject, but any quantity of ignorance in reference to the progress of the country. The fuct is, our practical business men in New York, koow more about this and kindred matters, than the whole cabiset combined. The progress which this republic has made in prosperity during the last twenty years, has been wonderfully great. Twenty years ago the revenue of the government, from all sources, did rot amount to over twelve millions of dollars, while the revenue for this year will excoud fty millions. Mr. Corwin might have saved hira- | self the trouble of under-estimating the revenu:, with the view of affecting the tariff questioa, for the whole subject of protective tariff has been dead and buried for many years. fact uring progress of the country requires no high tariffs or spevsial legislation. They have proved most conclusively that they ate capable of taking care of themselves, without any goverament assist- ance. the ex Senators and ex-members of Congress who became members of cabinets, as shown by their own friends, have been so much engaged as counsel and agents for claimants, for some years past, and wen so much occupied in drawing money from sury, by getting them liquidated, that they e forgotten the little they ever knew oa other subjects, and are unfit for the responsible dutics of cabinet ministers. The truth is slowly coming out. ‘The administration are weak; yet we are willing to aid them. We propore, for the remaining term of able contract, the complete administration of the government, to be transacted in our office, and to direet all the affairs at Washington through the telegraph. This can be ly done. What does the cabinet say? Gengrat Scorr Goine to Newrror—Prerar- ING FoR TRE Potrricat Canvass.—General Scott, according to the announcements in the newspapers, i8 going to make his head-quarters at Newport this summer. For several years he has been a resident, during the summer season, at West Point, and this change, and abandonment of Cozzens, has pro, bably some reference to another hoped-for change, in which the White House, at Washington, is iu the distance, beautifully prospective. We remember General Seott very well prior to 1840, at the United States Hotel, Saratoga; for at that time we thought him about a4 available a specimen of Presidential material, in the rough, ax was to be found anywhere.

We sat at the bottom of the table, directly opposite Van Buren, where we could see all that was going on, and calculate the probabilities of the great future, and ruminate on the mutability of human affairs and the uncer- tainty of men’s destinies. Since then, we have be- held the great vortex of vicissitude swallow up many | apaitician. Where is Van Buren?

Witiis ano tHe Scuoot Greis.—The leading editorial of Willis for this week, addressed to ladies, comes quite & propos at this time when the trial is about to come on, in which the reputation of Mr. | Willis is concerned. It is addressed to the ladies, who are, as he says, ‘the court by which female re- putation is tried and judged.” He, further, pro- poses that the ladies, as clubs, societies, cireles or | churches, should combine to protect innocence by a fair trial, by testing accusations. ruth, justice, | and even charisy and mercy, he adds, would rejoice | at this. Such is the conclusion of the essay, in which Mr. Willis draws some comparisons between female education in England, France, and the United States. We deny his assertions, as premisos of the j argument. It is not true that young ladies in our | country have greater freedom than those of !urc- pean circles. On the contrary, moek restraints are | the parents of half the social errors among ns. An | American girl, in some sections of the coun:ry, cannot give Ler arm toa gentleman withou; being liable to an action for a breach of promise; and, in the crowde1 thoroughfare, the oecasional beau, in order not to find the lady thrust from his side, by a | silly convention is seen carrying, or pushing the | lady along, as if she were a musket or basket. This | is an exterior symbol of a whole class of restraints which have no business with honest, frank and vir- tuous hearte, and which are more common in this | country than in any European city. In France, or | even in Paris, virtue is not sustained by suspicion, | by bolts, bars, or a family polise. In England, the freedom of # young lady at eighteen, when she is | supposed to have a head as well us a hears, is that of a woman grown to the knowledge of the decep- | tions of vice. Her only certificate of purity is not | the assertion that she has been closely watched. | She has been taught to rely upon her own strength, + s well as to fear her own weakness; and Beatrice, | Constance, Lady Teazle, and similar characters of | the English drama, are types of English girls, as bred in towns and citi ‘That American girls are ‘over sentimentally’’ | trained we admit—and here itis that Mr. Willis | errs in assuming the exuberance of freedom as pe- | culiar to American girls. All the freedom they have is on paper; and when they get a pen in their hands and an object upon which to exercise it, the freedom restrained by conventional hypocrisy aud the art of concealment breaks out without reason, | and knowsno bounds. This is trae—but this is the | only truth with respect to the superior freedom of | the American to that of the English or French girl. | It is that freedom which grows upon restraint and surveillance, and which is more likely to lead toa | precipice than to @ paradise. What is good in European frankness, in confiding and trusting in- tercourse bared upon respeet, in the privilege of independence which seeks honor only, is what is | required bere, and not the equivocal benefit from seclusion of the European nursery and cloister, as | Mr. Willis would recommend. But there iz a deeper meaning in this lecture by | Mr. Willis, to which we alluded in the outset. A | sidelong explanation of certain letters of publie ne- | toriety ceems contained in the passages referring to , the exaggerated atyle of correspondence sommouto | school girls. Mr. Willis says a miscarried billet- doux is mourned over as “utter ruin, | miration, that has brought about a seoldin discoursed upon as the * dar | pence forever ;” a imislaid rosebud is deplored ne *the one lows on earth that could never be re- stored.” There may be much truth in all this. | There ie more reason init than in the general seope | of Mr. Willis’s views on the freedom of / | girls.
