THE PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST-GEN. SCOTT
As yet only which has been prominently brought
forward by any State is that of General Scott His name
has been started by the friends Of William f. Seward, and
he regarded the candidate of the party which that gen.
tcman represents. No Southern State has made any de-
monstraon in favor General Scott, is it likely with
such godfather Seward any Southern Stale will What
General SCOTS political principles Is he in favor OF
the Compromise measures? All that is known s that heis
the father Of native Amcricansm and that he Is determined
refrain from expressing any particular views upon my
subject from this time till after the election takes place
Under tine tutoring of Seward he will try what
holding his tongue effect. His chances of being nomi
mated in S0 and again in l94S destroyed BY his
eicS scribcnd and that mistake he will endcavor avoid
This time at all events But unfortunately for the gallant
General silence will Questions huve arisen

which side he will ake and all the evidences TO point

higher law school He may not be So but he must himself
declare that lie is not.
General Scott declared here frequently during the last
three months that he hopes some will abuse him.
