The Whig denies that Gen Scott has writ
ten letter endorsing the Compromise meas
dres in fdll, and says: @No such letter has
been published, that We have seen, and we
presume the report is fabrication, manu-
manufactured out of whole cloth. /" -->a
There is no doubt that the endorsement
of those measures by Gen. Scott at this time
would be cold comfort to whiggery, which
has hoped unser the prestige Of his great
name to gain some little strength for the
Wing State ticket at the coming election
We have never seen it stated in any quar-.
ter that Gen. Scott had written any such |
letter, yet We" believe lit is a fact, which |
those who are undertaking TO deceive the
people in regard to his views, cannot deny,
that be docs" approve ard endorse those
measures The Washington Republic de-
hieS that he is hostile to fi1e President On
those measures, aid SAYS he has, on many
occasions, emphaticaly expressed himselfin
favor Of both. And the Anaerican Patriot
"a paper established in New York City to
advocate the claims of Sen. Scott TO the
Presidency says: 3Tbey" (his opponents
@would have the simple people believe that
in placing his name before them for sup
port the Convention cohdemnieed the admin.
istfatfon Of President Fillmore, disavowiug
the patriotism of Daniel Webster, and re-
pu1iating the Fugitive bill and other adjust
melt measures of Congress for the preserv-
alton Of the Union! How supremely ridic-
ulous is such stuff
ID he attempt to act over again The de-
ceptive game ofal64s won't take. The
leaders in the Scott move cannot cencea,, his
opinions from the public eye.
CHEEING.-4tis is source of great conso.
lation TO the wbig papers ofthis State that
the Washington Republic, the organ Of the
Fillmore administration, is well pleased with
the nomination of 'Vihton for Governor.
Do the whig papers believe that the admin.
istration organ, which is foremost in vindi-
eating the compromise measures, would SO
readily endorse this nomination if there
were the least ground for suspicion that the
nominee is opposed to those measures, as
some of the whig papers assert? No, never.
The wings have undertaken the double game
of approving of the administration and its
| measures, and at the same time 7deceiving
the anti-slavery portion of their followers
into the belief that the whig party is the
! real genuine anti-slavery party. In one or
| the,otier of these attempts they will surely
| fail, for they cannot serve twomasters.
