Irish and coercion. --The "Irish News," a very respectable organ of the Irish population in New York, says: "There is a talk of an army of 60,000 men, to be furnished by New York and others of the border free States, and commanded by Gen. Scott, for the purpose of putting down South Carolina and bringing the rest of the Southern States to order! God protect society from such a stroke of strategy. The united North could not put down the South. But they who would put down the South atrategy. The united North could not put down the South. But they who would put down the South are only a fanatical fragment of the North; and it is the North itself which would probably rue the rising of such an armament. The lovers of a free fight all round will wish for such a state of things. But we suspect they will not see it. Gen. Scott is an impulsive man; but he is not crazy. He would not dare to advise such an outburst in the country, and could no more control it than a child."

He was, we have understood, wounded more than once during his long and arduous service, and by some casualty of war, either by a shot, or by leaping from a parapet, was lamed for life. The meeting between him and LaFayette in 1824, at Louisville, was described in the papers of the day as highly interesting. There was no braver officer in

and though it may be re-constructed, it cannot be preserved. In a legal sense, Abraham Lincoln could not now be President; for the Confederacy he was elected to preside over is not in existence. The Gulf States are making the "Views" of General Scott dissolving views. They are relieving South Carolina from the attitude of forming a "gap" in the territory of the Union, by establishing a continuous line of secession from South Carolina to Texas, and terminating the line of the Federal Government at the Northern border of the Palmetto State. In that event, even General Scott does not propose, nor even think of "Coercion." He utterly repudiates it. Warrior as he is, and inclined to the imperative mood as military chieftains generally are, he yet sees the utter madness of any attempt to control the seceding States. It is for such demagogues as John Sherman, and Hale, and Wade, and that arch-traitor, Seward, to present the argument of the "ultima ratio" to "enforce the laws and up
