this county say, ''they are inAlexibly opPo-
SD to slavery" and ''in favor OF such a.
mendment to the fugitive slave law as good
policy and good faith to all parts of the coun.
try may require" What humbuggery
Saying in one place they approve of the no.
minalion of Gen. Scott, aud if they approve
of him they also approve of his principles,
and in another place opposing those very
principles that Gen. Scott says he will be
governed by. And to show still further
what a grand set of humbugs those FIVE mem
are, we will give two or three extracts from
two of the leading whig papers in the Union.
We ask the honest portion f the Free Soil
Wings (for there are some Free Sellers that
are not politically honest-for instance two
men well known in Cadiz, to read them
carefully, and then say what they think of
the leaders of the whig party in this county.
The Baltimore American in speaking of
the nomination and the platform says:
own Stale, and OF Virginia, and North Car
Iulina have endorsed the nominations of the
Wing National Convention with great unan.
Unity, and with many expressions of cordial
lily. 1Hepioyo,m cf principles is egeryarhere
commended, and viewed as the means of uni
ting lhe Wings of the Union in the earnest
and successful support of the nominees.
/ As the D0DaIun ppppS and tL. canvoco
proceeds, we may be sure that aH holding
tie aseenda cy Of WIG principle important
to tile country a'W be Joand in compact order
moving onwardto the great end in view with
a resolved purpose to vindicate the cause for
which they contend, by making it thorough
y their own. Tie selection of Gen Scott
as the Whig leader in this struggle was a
ributc to his great services to his country
and it was fairly made by convention of
high minded gentlemen from among compa-
titors whom any man might be proud to be
classed with lie s ands too, upon plat
form Of principles uh ubicA or cause is
dentifed, IN SUSTAINING HIM WE
SUSTAIN THEM, and we sustain them
un Ter prospects of success calculated to in
spire the strongest hopes"

Aucntial whig paper says:
THE WHIG PLArFoRM.-We pvblish the
Platform Of the National Wing Convention
as authenticated by the signatures of the
President, Vice Presidents, and Secretaries
of that body. The copy originally sent off
by telegraph and published in the newspa-
Ipcrs throughout the country contained some
verbal inaccuracies which are corrected in
the official text, 1t will be seen that the
words 'compromisc' and 'fnality,' over the
supposed omission OF which the Washington
Union raised such ridiculous clamor, were
not omit after all. We do not regard the
discrepancies between the two versions as
at all material. In either shape the compro-
mise resolution is strong enough for u.s. But
the Union and Enquirer have placed them
selves in an awkward prcdicament They
denounced the Wing Convention for failing
to characterize the compromise as a final
. settlement But it now appears that the
Democratic and not the Wing Convention
! was guilty of this fatal and startling omission
as the Union and Enquirer seemed to regard
it. The blow aimed by them at the Wings
:, has fallen upon Democratic heads, and i
they would preserve their consistency THEY
MUST ADMIT THAT THE WHIC
PARTY HAVELAIN DOWN A STRON
GER SOUTHERN PLATFORM THAN
THE DEMOCRACY"
Read the last sentence of the above ex.
tr&cS care July; and when these whig leader
come pratting to you about their free soilisn
E show them the 9th resolution adopted b.
s their national convention, and what two o
r their leading papers say.
The sixth resolution adopted by the coun
ty convention, says:
6, That we are in favor of Tariff of spc
ciGo duics, afFording adequate revenue fo
the support of government, and ample pro
5 lection to American industry.
The above must have been quite conso
} ling to Gov. Eckley, after tho speech he
| made abodt the necessity of a very hgI
protective tariff.
The 7th reads:
7. That the exercise ofthe Veto by the
t National Executive in mere questions of pol
icy, when it is clear that the measure in no
wise infrnges the Constitution--is wontor
act Of tyranny, and as such we condemn it.
The whig leaders have been bowling fol
the last twelve years, that they were oppo
sed to the use Of the veto power in any
shape or form. But the above resolution
shows that they have changed their opinions
within short time. They have found ou
that they could not humbug the people any
+ longer about thoir opposition to the veto
power.
The 9Th resolution reads:
8. That we are now, as ever for the Har.
risonian rule-one Presidential Tenn.
The above is the excuse they give for no
minating mere military cheftain to firm
reliable whig-one who has conducted theil
party safely for the last four years,
The 9th reads:
8. That we hereby end orse and approve
the official conduct of Hon. VIM F. Hunter
our Representative in Congress, and tha
his fidelity and honesty in that capacity en-
title him to our thanks.
S We do not know any thing that Mr.. Hun
ter has done, since he has beenin Congress
, that is worthy of being approved. He sav,
