opinions Of somewhat better known TO the country

strikes the nail precisely the head In assigning the 7ea

who require acts Congress- amending repeating the fu

only right slavery but pledged against In
such manner render him altogether acceptable to alb
olitoni.m II is plun that the leading political object Of
the abolition and free soil party, Is 10 procure Northern
majority in Congress, committed TO the amendment ana

General SCOTS pledge 10 use the veto against nor 10
bring Executive influence 10 bear Congress to prevent
the passage Of such law is OF the controlling reasons

uncomprJmisng denunciaon Of all and any repeal or

and the absolute commta both Of the democratic party and
its candidate In favor Of Executive nepos'ion both by
means of the veto and Of official influence against such
measure-are regarded by Stevens aud his party, as
hopeless and nsumountabe obstacles 10 their schemes
which only The election Of Gen Scott can avoid Such OPP
position this my disturbance of the Compromise

the language which the Wing party even at the South have
been wont TO use 10 discussing the veto. II were not
plain before language OF Stevens is enough TO convince
the South that its buwak against the onsaushts Of

II there other evidences OF the danger oi wing doc
trines 10 the South the fact that they give up the Veto Is
conclusive against them If there other proof Of the
