The Two Faces of scottIsm-Coneiuslve Proof
Ifthere had remained any, the 81 ghtest doubt,
upon the minds of the Southern people in regard to
the two faces ofihc Scott party and of the sympa-
thy-not to say alliance existing between that party
at the South and the abolition supporters of Gen
Scott at the North it has been put fight by the de-
volopments made in last Wednesdays Wilmington
Herald. Our language may seem harsh but it is JUS
ti6ed-called for-demandcd by the circumstances
of the case More open and conclusive proof we
have never seen. But to the facts.
Sometime since we published from the Elyria
Courier, Scott paper in Ohio an appeal to the abo-
litionists of that State showing-and conclusivey
too--tbat Scott the to be supported by them
natural desire felt to see this Scott organ
to have glance at the Generals Northern face, and
accordingly, it would seem, two gentlemen of this
place enclosed dollar in letter to the editor, re-
qucsting him to send them the paper for the cam
paign stating that they had desire &c to become
thoroughly acquainted with the position of the whig
party in various sections of this widespread Rcpub-
lies" But this Scott organ did nOt--ddre not send
his paper to Southern gentlemen who had complied
with the terms of subscription. He knew that it
would give the lie to the representations ofthe Scott
party at the South who desire nothing less than
that the people should become Moroughlyacqu ainted
with the position of the wing party in the various
sections of this widespread republic. The paper
lras not sent--nor the dollar either, by the way:
something was sent, however, which proves another
part of our charge.
The Elyria abolitionist did not send the paper to
the gentlemen who had written to him for it, and
paid for it nor did he write to them, but he did
write to his friends herc-the leaders of the Scott
and Graham Club. And these gentlemen have the let
ter from D. Dickson and L. Holmes. Esqs, published
in the Scott paper in this place, with some faint and
foolish idea, suppose, of making political capital
out of it: and he Scott paper aforesaid, chuckles
over the idea that his Eyria ally too shrewd to
allow Southern Democrats to get look at his pa
per. 1t remarks quite facetiously'A spirit of in
vestgation is commendable in youthf,I minds, and
it is fair to presume that fifth attends
their inquiries in other States in Ohio their in
formation in time will be of the most extensive and
satisfactory character"
The Herald is evidently rejoiced that his neigh
bors could not get at the truth in regard to the
Northern Scott organs. That these organs would
not even sell their papers upon tho usual subscrip
tlOn terms to southern men. Such Is the ScOtt game
we ask all fair men to look at this thing. This Ely
ria Editor. who publishes paper which he dares moi
send to Southern subscribers, is the correspondent
of the leaders of the Scott and Graham Club of this
place. We state only what appears in the Herald
Comment is unnecessary.
Niessrs. Holmes and Dickson, doubt, wanted
the paper to see Gen SCOTS Northern face and
ing it, to expose ito Southern against it
was their right and their duty; but it is to b.
kept hidden--and the Scott and Graham Club is thu
only correspondent Of Mr. George ". Washburn
the abolition Scott Editor of the Elyrin Courier.
AS for the letter in question, it is evidently has
ty production, and amounts to nothing way o
the other. At any rate, we refrain from common
upon it, since the gentlemen signing it are album
dainty able to guard their own reputatons.-
All say is that the attempt to find
mares nest, to make any political capital
ia ridiculous in the extreme. There is sort q
ground for any fuss whatever and nothing but tn
dcarth of any real capital could have led even tn
Herald to have taken up with such a trifing matte
