Mr.. Jones of Tennessee rose 10 make an ex
PLANTATION. He said he was the object of mucl
misconception. He had hoped the platform
would have been adopted unanimously He salt
intimations had been made that he was false t
the South. He Indignantly repealed the insinu
atoms he desired to maintain the integrity o
the wing party he did not canvass the claim
of any candidate and would support any nomi
nee lie did, not wish to advocate the Claims O
Scott before the nomination. He had no pollti
zeal idolatfy for any men. He SAID that the let
Ter from Scott 10 Archer was shown to him.
He saw Scott in Washington some time ago
and told him he would support Fillmore as tn
true representative of Tennessee. Scott toll
him ne was decidedly in favor of the Comprom
ises. Mr.. Jones told him he should say so pub
licly and silence calumnies against him. Scoi
however, refused to commit himself publicly, O
that was not the proper course to be pursued.
Mr.. Jones then made an eloquent appeal to tn
North to stand by the South on the Compromisl
and lay ASIDE all prejudices.
