General Scott and the Richmond Re.
publican.


Shortly after the late Wing Congress.
sional Caucus, over which the redoubta-
BILE Mangum presided, the Richmond Re-
publican, leading Wing paper, contain
ed the following editorial
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Clipper, remarks that the Bal
limore Suns correspondent "Ion," evil
IDENTIFY takes the correct view of the pre-
sent Seward movement. 1t is nothing
but Van Buren's scheme attempted to be
carried out in different way. Van
thought he was strong enough if he could
unite every shade of anti-slavery men,
to go on his own hook. Seward is more
artful. He would, while he really
belongs to the worst type of abolitionists,
remain in the bosom of the wing party,
and mould it to suit his purposes. He
will not give up one of his monstrous doc
trines, but thinking that he can rule, by
his reserve guard, remains in the party.
He feels that the North can rule, and he
is determined to rule with it. If he can
reduce the South we'll if he cannot,
he must do withoutit Ion we'll remarks,
the policy is to drive off the Southern
wings, and establish a Northern party on
Mr., Stewards principles, with the view to
a complete triumph in 1856
elf he can now induce the wings to
repudiate Fillmore and Webster If the
time has come when the tempting bait of
availability held out by this man and
others, can make the South waver on a
subject involving their peace, their pro-
perty, their highest interest, what may
he not do hereafter? If such things are
done in the GREEN tree, what will not be
done in the DRY ?''
This was before the meeting of the Bal
timore Wing Convention, that nominated
Winfield Scott for the Presidency, and it
was in view of the effort then being made
by the northern abolitionists, headed by
Seward, to force upon the Wing Conven.
ton as its nominee, Gen. Scott, that the
Republican warned its readers that the
effort to procure the nomination of Scott,
was nothing but Van Buren's scheme
attempted to be carried out in a different
way" How? The Democratic party
repudiated Van Buren-not SO with the
Wings and Scott. Seward, "while he
belongs to the worst type of abolitionists,"
has remained "in the bosom of the whip
party" and has moulded it to suit his
purposes" He has succeeded in redu-
cling the southern wings. and they, in
stead of doing what the Republican would
have had Seward and the abolitionists be-
lieve. before the nomination of Scott. they
would do if he was nominated, "drive off.
the southern whigs," those very wings,
with few honorable exceptions, such as
Faulkner, Lyons, Gentry and Others
have permitted Seward to do precisely
what he knew he could do, "rule by his
reserve guard" and force Scott upon the
southern wings. We say Seward kne.o he
could do this, because he knew their love
