General QuiIman.

The Natohez Free Trader of the oath inst.
contains two communications from denerat Suit-
man. The one is in reply TO committee OF the
Central Democratic Association Of mississippi,
who solicit him TO address the members OF that
organization the other is explanatory OF the Ian
guage attributed TO him by the Memphis Eagle,
in an article going the rounds of the Wing press,
headed 'erestimony Of a Democrat and Souther-
ner," in which Gen. Quitman is made 10 speak
in highly Mandatory terms, not only Of the mill
tary but of the civil qualities and capacity OF
Gen. Scott
In reply to the first, assuming, we take It,
that he would be called on to endorse the acton
of the Democratic Baltimore Convention, ne de-
clines accepting the invitation. To that pat
form he is opposed. He will, therefore, take no
active part in the present Presidential canvass,
hut viii vote for Pierce and King Of the former
of whom he speaks in terms OF high commenda-
ton.
In reference to the second subect--his lauda-
ton of the Wing candidate, as originally pub
lished in the Memphis Eagle, and since SO gene
rally copied in the Wing papers-he asserts that
his opinions, freely and frankly delivered on the
occasion, have been greatly distorted. He spoke
in terms of unstinted praise of General SCOTS
Mexican campaign but, adverting to his position
as the Wing candidate for the Presidency, he on
ly said that if Southern Wings made the Com
promise measures the sine qua non of their sup
port, he believed General Scott to be good
COMPROMISED as Willard Fillmore or Daniel Web
ster-better even, because he had been COM
promiser before either one of them was
We have endeavored thus briefly to give, in
a condensed but correct shape, the opinions OF
General Quitman on the subjects referred to
above. They resolve themselves into this Gen.
Quitman approves of the Democratic nominations,
but disapproves Of the Democratic platform he
will give Pierce and King his support but it will
not be an active support. Of General Scott, as q
military man, he has an exalted opinion. Gen
Scott, as politician, to be relied on by South
ern Wings, he thinks equal-superior-to Webster
or FILLMORE.

would not go for Scott, when it is fact that he

The following paragraph is now going the

Why not put down all for Pierce? This is all

is bound to be the next President, and thousands
