MR.. SCOTT OF FAUoUIER.


THIS gentleman, though arrayed in direct or
position 10 Mr.. J. NJ. Bots in the late canvass, re-
sembIes che immortal in some Of his leading
CHARACTERISTICS. Like him, he is comineerlns ard
obstinate, reckless in pushing his peculiar views
and schemes in the teeth Of public sentiment
eager for nuloriety, aud determined, at all hazards.

vic.ans 10 has peculiar, narrow and imprac-
,icabe standard Of public policy. Bu' 'hese
Two rromincr, leaders Of The Wing parry are
closely a>-imila'et in another point lhey
both boldly avnw their ieliei in The constr
tuiionalily Of he Wllmot Proviso, and both ask
the yocr, oil Virginia 10 honor them with heit
confidence and endorse their sentiments, which
are in violation Of The convictions AMI deepest
feelings OF The Stale II will be seen, whcher
any portion OF This glorious old commonwealth
can be 80 blinded 10 her honor, her true interests
AMI safely, as 10 elevate 10 high irnsl> individu'
als who have thus scornuly deied public senli-
meut and GU themselves off from Southern ee'-

the Wings Of Fauquier Of MIR. X T. SCOTS
famous resolutions, which, read and construe
them as you may, contain the very essence OF
"Free Soilism" We cannot for one moment
bobeve that either result will stain the annals
of the approaching election No community
in the State, we feel satisfied, can so lose
ils own sclfrespcct and regard for South
orn riah,s and Southern feeling, SO surren'
der 10 the naughty commands Of 1.-THE one
man power" as TO elect either gentleman,
under the present circumstances. They' ~ Is
true, have been brought out as Wing candi-
1a;es as selected organs OF the great wing
marty, and, if either Of them succeeds, Inc
wings. and Wings alone, will De held resPon
sible for the blow struck at the bosom Oh our
venerable State, and at her glorious bearing Oh
the great Southern question we sun cahho'
doubt that a considerable portion OF Inc wing
party will prefer country TO party VIII sacrihce
party and personal feelings 10 their duty ana 10
The South, and by their frowns defeat The cleo
tion Of either OF the named individuals, nnsouhu
and dangerous as past events have shown lhehl
to be.
These rcflecii ms are induced BY very spirit
ed sketch in the last Warrenton Flag OF -,
Of the Wing meeting ard discussion IN fau-
ouier Yesterday week. We learn from 'hal
naner that MIR. Scott INDUCED in personalities,
[bey fall innocent at our feell yet II i not our
province 10 follow his example, though nc Is
far from being inyulnerablc. we treat MN "s
= nubl;c man, and review only his public acts.
The Whig meeting aforesaid, rapidly passing
through the usual forms, nominated. MIR. Scott
for he House, and ratified the nomination OF
Nr. WIN. NJ. Hume, already made by Inc
Wings Of upper Fauquicr, as the other ueic-
gate. The Flag says
uNr Scott then took the stand, and spoke
,bout three hours. chiefly in defence OF hls Pc
cn,;ar views on The Wilmot Proviso question:
