Species of Wolverine Patriotism.--The Michigan papers state that in several parts of that State, our opponents have celebrated their late victory by hanging and burning Gen. Scott in effigy. This is, we are pleased to state, the only section of the Union from which we have heard of any such feeling being manifested. The idea of a man, who has devoted his life to the service of his country, defending its rights whenever assailed, both at home and abroad, being burnt in effigy, and that, too, by those, who were, perhaps, at the time he was protecting the liberty they now enjoy, in their mother's arms, is revolting and beneath contempt, and any man, who would be guilty of such an act, is unworthy the name of an American citizen.--Zanes.
