c. We suppose that the wings of this
county who go for Gen. Scott for President,
do so because he is so strenuous an aboli-
tionist. hey cannot go for Clay, or Iay-
lor, because they own slaves, and they
can't and wont go for any man who will

in any way countenance slavery. It cent
be possible, that they go for Scott because
he is in fayer Of q National Bank, for that
has become aobso!ete'' long ago; it can't
be on account of a high protective tariff

Of his services in the Mexican WARRIOR that
is, in the eyes Of awhiggery, an iniquitoas
contest in which neither honor or glory are
to be won. No, they go for him on &c
count Of his anti.slasery views and feel
ings. Well, for the purpose of giving the
public an opportunity to learn his views up
ON that subject, we have transferred TO our
culunns his letter written in 1843, prior to
the nomination of a candidate for President
for the election Of the subsequent year, and
at time when his name was spoken of as
a candidate for that high Office. How we'll
those. views conform to those Of The whig
leaders we leave for the reader to Judge.

SaadusEy and NorWalk Banks.
We received two letters this morning
concerning the above banks One from
Mansfield, stating that the impression is
strong there that they cannot survive the
run upon them, and that the people should
be on the lookout in time. The other let
ter is from Cincinnati, stating that placard
handbills were posted up in that city few
days age, warning the people to ssBE.

| PApsR.n The letter from Cincinnati is
not from politician, but states that strong
suspicious rest on the bankers themselves
| for getting up this handbill mean those
connected with the State Bank. This is
| the opinion Oft the gentleman who writes
| US, and his hopes are, that some informa-
ftion may exist in this citv to prove it on
them. We give the above information as
we get it. It is evident that there is some
movement going on that the people know
very little about; but the length and breadth,
the depth and scope Of it we are not able 10
state. We thank our friends, and those
who feel free to do SO who may not exactly
be classed under the terms political and
personal friends, for The Information they
convey us from different points, It ena-
bles US to make up pretty certain judg.

TO take place, as well as what is going on
