P0LITIC A l..
Democratic Testimony to Gen SCOTS
Soundness ON the Compromise.

Mr.. Cleveland, democratic member of
Congress from Connecticut, in one Of his
speeches on the slavery question, promised
TO demonstrate that the Compromise, Flu
gltive Slave law, and all, was 'purely a
Whig measure in us origin and principles"
and he made good his word by showing the
agency of Messrs. Clay, Webster, Fillmore
and Scott, in carrying through those meas
ures.
Mr.. Cleveland thus speaks of Gen. SCOTS
position and action in reference to the Com
promise:
"What motive governed Mr.. Fillmore in
this entire change of the policy of the Ad-
Observation-Disclosures it was love of slave
ry and power, or hatred of his rival Gov
Seward, am not able to say believe the
country is equally unenhghtened on the
subject. Gen. Scott was by Mr.. Fillmore,
placed temporarily at the head Of the War
Department & in that position, coupled with
his military fame, was able to, and did ex-
ert powerful influence in favor of these
Compromise Measures"
Again says, Mr. Cleveland:
"When Mr.. Fillmore got into the White
House' tne AIsl business was 10 paCliy the
country. I"
The Constitution was to be overturned be-
cause We did not give one-half of that ter
ritory IN which to establish slavery, and in
country, too as free as Connecticut. AT
tins very time, the trhole po,cer of The Uhig
administration waS cast inio The scale of this
Compromise. GS-I desire to do Justice to
the man who has been arraigned here and
charged with hostility to these measures, or
at least that he did not, or does not, COM
init himself in favor of them. Justice 10
that distinguished Wing requires of me that
should sag he could not haze done more
Tie ,cas as aciire man as could be found in
getting these Compromise measures passed.
81 was here and heard from every quarter
that Gen. Scott was as active and energet-
&c IN his efforts as any man IN Washington,
and never did man labor harder than Gen.
Scott to prevail upon the Freesoil members
OF the Wing party to abandon their position
and adop: the Compromise as measure oil
the new administration. They had sort Of
second Pentecost on the Wing side of the
House. They went over and out by scores. y
"These measures were passed mainly
through the influence of Clay, Fillmore
Webster, Scott and Cobb. These were the
men who carried them through, and every
man who was in the last Congress know:
