for the carrying cut of their base intrigues
Hon. E. c. Cabe, of Florida, in a speech de-
Iivered in the United States House of ofRepresenta-
tves the f2th Of June last, gives his opinion Of
Scott as follows:
Scott has paddock on his lips, and the princl,
piles of Seward in his breeches pocket, and stands
before the country as the candidate of the higher
law party.
The election of Scott under present citcunI-
stances would be to continue the government in
the hands of the Feeso party until their fanati-
clsm has destroyed the UniUn''
The Rev. DR.. Lovick Pierce, of Georgia, most
eloquent and enlightened minister of the Metho-
dist Church, and who is now venerated for long
life passed in the noblest of all services has deem
ed it his duty to speak out to the people of the
South In reference to the presidential elections:
MEssRs. GRfEvE d ORME AS this this is the
hrst time IN my life that have ever directly med
died with the presidential election, hope no one
will accuse me either of of6ciousness, or of de-
parture from my ministerial duty Though min
lster OF the Gospel of Peace, still citizen of
this great republic, and feel myself deeply interest,"
ed in its veal. My object in writing is, however,
to place two of my difficulties before my country
men.
As 1t regards Gen. Scott enough has been said
by some of our faithful representatives in congress
and by leading men and papers of his party. 1t
only remains for me to say that hope no south
ern man will ally himself to any instrument of the
Seward whig party That Gen. Scott is their
nominee is indsputably clear and the measured
manner in which he alludes to the great southern
principle, as provided for in the whig platform, is
too suspicious for my use. There is too much ev4
idence ofcatering. The South may always know,
when she hears man referring calmly and calcu=
latingly to his obligation to the higher law poll
cy, that he II not do for southern president nor
will any man do who sympathises with him. Gen.
Scott is in bad company. 1t may be only his mis-.
fortune. But be this as it may, we only act upon
the showing.

WASHINGTON, August 11th.

The National Intelligencer, of this morning, of
ficially announces the resignation of Hon. Abbot
Lawrence as Minister to England, and the appoint
ment of Hon. Joseph R. Ingersol, of Pennsylva-
MIA, in his place.
REPORTED FLARE UP IN THE CABINET.-It is ru-
mored that there has been serious flare up IN the
Cabinet with Mr. Webster, and that he is remov-
ing the furniture from his house here, and will
probably soon withdraw.
The nomination of Hon. n. X. Hall, to the
New Y ork Judgeship, will be sent in the Senate
for confirmation this week.
Mr.. Webster has written letter, declaring the
right of American vessels to load with guano al
the Lobos Islands, and recommending that oul
vessels of war protect them therein.

SCoTT's GENERALs.--Itis is said to be fact that
every General officer, who served under General
Scott in the Mexican war, is opposed to his election
to the Presidency-believing that he does not pos
the civil qualifications to fit him for that high
and responsible station Wool Twiggs, Riley,
Butler, Quitman, Pillow, Lane, Patterson, Persi-
fer Smith, Cadwallader, Marshall, Shields, all are
found in the ranks of the opponents of the Wing
nominee, and if the lamented Worth and Hamer
were living, they would be found among the num-
Der. Does not the fact speak volumes against
Gen. SCOTS fitness for the highest civil office in
the world ?-1fobae Register.

Important StatemeEt-ScOtt not pledged to
ssFinality."

In a debate in the House on the Sd August,
Mr.. Howe of Pennsylvania, referred to General
Scott's position on the compromise, as follows
Mr.. Chairman, the 21st, of June, General
Scott was nominated by the Convention, and up
on that he sent the following note to Baltimore by
telegraph
WASHINGTON, June 2f, 1859.
Having the honor of being the nominee for Pres.
ldent by the whig national convention shall ac-
cept the same, with the platform of principles
which the convention has laid down. Please show
this tc &. B. Duncan.
WINFIELD SCOTT.
General Scott says here in language not to be
misunderstood, that he accepted the nomination
and the platform of principles which the Conven-
ton had laid down. He said this above board
He did not wish it TO be confined to the gentlemen
in the Convention, to whom it was addressed
He said, ''sbow this to 6. B. Duncan. With re-
spects to friends" Laughter Genoral Scott
said distinctly that he accepted the platform of
principles laid down by the Convention.
Well, sir, now for the platform itself. There
are but three resolutions In that platform which
require tlRR8ulnson'' Road, TOR line N.

Mr.. HOWE. 1t was the same, with the excep-
ton of the word final
Mr.. STEVENS The word ''fnal'' was not IN
at the time General Scott sent that telegraphic
dispatch.
This Mr.. Stevens is free soil whig leader in
Pennsylvania. He is of the Seward and Johnston
school, and was one of the "Scott or nobody
men who forced Scott's nomination on the whig
party. His statement and the inference he dedu-
ces from the fact, therefore very Important
He shows that the word ''fnal'' was not in the
whig platform when Scott sent his .telegraphic
dispatch. This is the argument which will be used
to secure ee-soil votes in Pennsylvania. Let
Southern men notice the game which these abo-
litionists are playing. They know Scott thorough
ly. Is it probable they would have been so earn
est in advocating his nomination if they had not
had secret assurances from him ?-Nash. Ameri-

WHAT THEY sAY-The following is specimen
of the cool and quiet style with which the Scott
organs of the North answer the charges against
Gen Scott of being opposed in sentiment to sla-
very. It is from the New York Times
81 He is suspected Of being opposed, at heart,
to the ertension Of slavery.--That is bad He
probably got into that way of thinking from fight
ing good deal, first and last, for freedom, and
from studying rather closely the character of our
revolutionary heroes, who, it must be confessed,
were somewhat prejudiced against slavery. Per-

GEN. JOHN A. QUITMAN-It pains to see
the name of this distinguished individual obtru
sively thrust upon the community, and becoming
again theme to be mixed up with heated po-
litical canvass We care not what any man may
say against him. He may praise Scott-may even
vote for him-may repudiate his own cherished
States rights principles-may do thousand other
things, SO they are short of dishonesty and DIS
honor and for one. we will not abuse him, will
not doubt his patriotism. If God ever made a
true patriot, and an honest man, that patriot and
that man is Gen. John A. Quitman. No bad
man ever had the honest face of Gen. Quitman

G. NJ. CLAY AND GEN. PIERcE.-In 1848, Cas-
slus NJ Clay wrote a letter to Louisville paper
from which the following is an extract =
81 take pleasure, in addition to the official re-
ports in regard to Gen. Pierce, to say there was
but one opinion of General Pierce SO far as
learned, among the officers or parties in Mexico.
There was complaint of bad appointments by
the President-bad, not only by putting civilians
over old soldiers of the regular army, but bad
Der se-but of these Gen. Pierce was not one
No considerations ought ever to cause injustice to
be done any one AS political opponent, though
nersonal friend, of General Pierce, my humble
testimony to his WORTH intelligence and gallantry,
can only be of the least consideration, because
here in Kentucky he is not well known, and there
fore less honored.
