OUT AGAINST SCOTT.

The Wilmington Commercial and the Asheville
News, leading Wing papers-ons published in the
Eastern and the other in the Western part of this
Sate-are out in the most decided terms against the
Seward candidate. We have quoted elsewhere in
our paper to-day, from the CommercaI-the News
notices SCOTS nomination as follows:
$. The deed is done. Fillmore, for fidelity to the
Constitution, is kicked overheard. One thing looks
little suspicious every southern State voted again':
Scott except Virginia. 1t he is particularly sound
on the slavery question, why his friends unable
to satisfy the southern delegates Of the fact!
The news Of his nomination fell like cold chill
upon the whig party here. They had hoped that
Fillmore would be the nominee, and their Si.appen .
ot and oo,i ,ubstafiai members o tie partv declare
tky .e;1 not :scp''' him. but 't'"d a''sf from tie
This is what the Raleigh Register calls " Sect en-
thusiasm."

searching question: -..... ..-.

THE WHIG BARBACUE.

The Whig Barbecue in this place, on Saturday
last called to order by that enthusiastic SOupte,
Seaton Gales, ESQ.,; whereupon those well-known
politicians John H. Bryan. John Primrose and Thos.
J. Lemay were called to act as officers. Mr.. Bryan
stated the object Of the meeting to be to hear from
Messrs. Miller and Haywood, who had got back from
Baltimore. He said it was known the Wings of the
State were for Mr.. Fillmore, but Gen. Scott, who he
declared distinguished in the civl as we'll as in
the military annals of the county, had been nomaa-
,ed and the Delegates alluded would tell how and
why. Mr.. Haywood then stepped forward and spoke.
We never heard such Speech before, and never
shall hear its like again, unless Mr.. Haywood. as
returned Delegate, should happen be the speaker
We may safely say that it contained no fact in rela-
tion either to Pierce or Scott, Democracy or Whig-
gerry. 1t was the badest piece of perversion and
misrepresentation to which any assemblage lis
tened.
The crowd was also addressed by Messrs. Miller,
Ransom, and Rogers, and the Hon. R. S. Donnell.
Of Craven. We did not hear these gentlemen, but
we understand Mr.. Miller was extremely bitter and
unfair in his remarks. Mr.. DonnelI, learn, spoke
with decided ability. and INDUCED in none Of the
slang usually employed BY the Scott orators. Mr..
Ransom, we also learn. acquitted himself we'll. We
sorry that such gentlemen should have felt them.
selves bound to engage in such a cause.
Upon the whole, this Scott demonstration was .
failure. The leaders felt it, and you could q
their detected coun,enances There were not, any
sine We believe. over one hundred and forty or fifty
persons in attendance; and about one-third Of these
were Democrats. These facts notorious here
men of both parties kno,0 them TO be So Still the
Star and the Register speak Of this affair in glowing
terms, and endeavor leave the impression that "a
uery large number :" of Wings were present. The
Star speaks of it as a "great Whig meeting" Thi,
is "ereat" mistake, as every one in this commu
nifty knows.

MR.. KERR-FREE SUFFRAGE.

The Register says Mr.. Kerr 10 81 better Free Suf.
fraRe man than Gov. Reid" How sol When did
that happene What did the Convention which NOM
mated Mr.. Kerr say in favor Of Free Suffrage? Not
one word. What has Nj. Kerr himself been saying
all through the East! Why, that he is satsed with
the Constitution but if the people ,D;X have
Free Suffrage they ought to have it in their own
way. as they have begun it, but by Convention.
Does that look If he in favor of the measure
Has Mr.. Kerr ever advocated Free Suffrage on the
stump! Hat he ever avowed himself for it in pr-
vase conversation! Will he say, over his own sig
nature, that the measure is just, right, and expedent
that he s sincere friend it, and desires to see it
succeed7 No, he will not-he no doubt scorns, in
his secret heart. what he con,emptuousy calls the
Free Suffrage hobby" Bot if proof were wanting.
the following from the Warrenton News would abun.
danty establish the fact Of Mr.. Kes opposition to
this measure:
"lf we know aught of the meaning of words, Mr..
Kerr expressed himself opposed to Free Suffrage in
bis speech at Weldon. His words were, ~ would
suffer m3 head cut off before would lend my infu
ence in taking away the protection ofproperty." He
said persons should be protected and property too
and went on to define in what manner. He said the
lower branch of the Legislature was the peculiar
representative of persons and the Senate the peculiar
clared himself in favor Of an open convention and
asserted that he would for it at the polls We
feared that we might have misunderstood him with
regard to his views of Free Suffrage and consequent.
ly made it point to enquire of several gentlemen
present. both Wings and Democrats as to their ua-
ders,andng Of his position, and they agreed with
in the above understanding. that is that he op
posed to Free Suffrage. There is one other fact
which would convince Us of Mr.. Kerr's opposition
to Free Suffrage, if had nothing else to Judge by,
and that is, that bitter opponents of that
ure, persons who have denounced it all the time and
whe still denounce it, have declared themselves sat-
is6ed with MI. Kerr's views, and that, too, after
hearing his Weldon speech, and also afeer having
private conversations with him."
Free Suffrage is little more popular in the West
than il is in the East, and hence Mr.. Kerrs course
the subject. While in the East he was willing 10
aA0w it to the people, provided they would take it
by aud through Convention, though for his part he
satisfied with the Constr ton it stands, with
its unjust discrimination against non.landholders
but he goes West the tune is changed and hear
his organ declaring that he is " better Free Suffrage
man than Gov. Reid"!
FelIow-citizens, Mr.. Kerr is against Free Suffrage,
and Gov. Reid is It's author and its first and earliest
friend. Suffer Reid be defeated, and the measure
falls! Re-elect him, and the measure will certainly
triumph.

TROUBLE IN THE CAMP.

1t seems that the sketch given by our Correspon.
dent in our last issue, of the discussion between
Gov Reid and Mr.. Kerr in Greensborough on the
SSth June, has produced some trouble in the Sopitl
camp. The Register issued Extra in hot haste,
on Tuesday morning last, pronouncing the sketch
referred to a wilful and corrupt perverson Of the
facts. and concluding with the usual slang about
"locofoco lying, " &c. Whether ttis Extn was
intended only for tie Eas, does not appear.
The leading points set forth by our Correspondent.
were, first. that MI. Kerr avowed himself for Con-
ven'ion Of the people of this State; secondly, that
majority Of the people Of this State had right to
change their Constitution and joriy of the peo-
pie of the United States had right to change the
Federal Constitution thirdly. he passed in pro-
found silence the subject of the School Fund fourth.
", he did not declare in Greensborough, as he did
here on the 4h of June, that he was in favor of the
present basis remaining as it is, bot said he was
in favor Of " mixed !" basis; filthy, he refused to
say, in reply to the question put by Gov. Reid, what
he wants Convention for.
We will add an extract from private letter from
the friend who prepared the sketch alluded to. He
says: You will see the leading points, and Kerr.
attempt to back out from his position the basis and
bot do their duty in the East and Centre. glorious
victory awaits rs. have never seen the Wings so
dispirited. or the Democrats so euthusiastic.'
We repeat what we said in our last, that our Cor
respondent is gentleman of undoubted integrity and
veracity; and our readers may rely implicitly upon
his statements as substantially true.
These exposures Of dupicity and double-dealing
are no new things with US. Our readers will reco-
lect what occurred two years ago; our Correspon-
dents were denounced then as our Correspondent is
now. as unworthy Of belief; but proued all ,ve
said Bear that in mind.
The Register may writhe, and denounce. and abuse,
and refer to its several gentlemen Of una;salable
veracty," who have authorized it to characterize in
such gross and unus,i6abe terms the statements Of
our Correspondent; all this passes us as the idle
wind. We are as calm and quiet as a summers
morning.

ed to SCOTS nomination. Isays:
I'VE believe that his election will throw the COM
promise measures into Congress for renewed discus.

the platform adopted by the Convention. That plst-
form ,v;N not bind Mr. Se,card and his party; and -
to Gen. Scott himself, we know nothing certain and
positive yet of his determination in regard TO it.
If he puts his acceptance Of the nomination in writ
ing, we believe he will not be allowed BY those who
act az his advisers, to place himself in position
which will preclude his supporters from treating the
Compromise az we have known all along they desire
to treat it, namely, az thing to be meddIed with and
overbrown at the first opportunity. We have no
confidence therefore, in Gen. Scott, because We can
not have confidence in thoss who have procured his
nomination.
