Gen. Scott is now fairly in the field for the Presi- dency.; The General is gallant feow and no doubt would grace the station as much us Henry Clay, but he has commenced the wrong way ever to succeed m the object of his ambition. In his circular letter, accepting the office, he gives his opnioss on all the important measures of Government. lst, he has all ways been aJefersonian democrat. He expresses

 very reyerertal respect for the judiciary and thinks that its decIsions should be immutable He is oppo sed to the vetd power, and says (very strangelyD that honest, capable men should be turned out of office. He thInks the tenure of the presidential office ought to be limited to term, which term ought to be six years and that It's duties should be merely sug gestve. Lastly, he is in favor of the land distribu-

 on bill, the bankrupt bill and national banks How he reconcile these measures with his Jefersonian democracy will be hard for sensible politicians to un derstand

 The letter is written with a great deal of pomp and sefsatisiacton. and shows very distinctly what has been plainly exhibited among most of the whig leaders within few months that he and his friends have no stability of principle, but willing to change and modify the constitution and government to suit their party exigencies.

 If h"Captain Tyler" had not ''headed" the party on the fiscal agency, this crusade against the veto power would have been started and if the de- mocrats had not doubted the superiority of the judi ciary to the constitution, the irreyocabity of its de- cisions would never have been ayowed.
