is unobiecionable on this ground, whilst Gen.
Scott comes TO US recommended by a body Of the
sworn enemies of the south. The following are
some of the facts stated by "A Union Whig."
"lt was fact beyond dispute, prominent and
pregnant, that there was not a single senator
from lne nonh who favored the nomination of
Gen. Scott who was in favor of the Compromise

that section who was in favor of his nomination
was opposed 10 The Compromise, including the
iugitive-saye law, as final settlement Of the
slavery question.
"Such are The differences between the in.
1uences at the North which support the demos

where yon find The democrat opposed 10 the
interests and rights Of the South. you 6ud an eK-
,epion to the party; where you find whg favor
ng southern rights and southern Interests, you
ind also an exception TO bis party" |
Nor is this ALL What is true Of the u. States
senate is equally true Of The convention which
dominated the candidates. Well does a Union
vhg say ''hatin the selection Of Gen. Scott as the
Phig candidate, the free-so wing Of that party
rumphed; and ia the selection of General
'ierce, the triumph 10 the South was complete.
While Seward, Greeleyand Weed support Scott,
