the late vote the House OF Representatives by which
the whg party in that body. party, uoted doioa the
Compromise BY such overwhelming majority. Mr.
Marshall introduces his remarks upon the position Of the
whg party in regard to the Compromise by the following
pointed statement Of the policy Of Mr. Fllmores whig
opponents:

Fillmore is confined those politicians who

fion for his potifica dtafh-warrant at the North"
Coming, then, to the main point in question, Mr..
Marshall speaks out boldly, and concludes his letter as
follows. Our readers will mark the emphasis of his
closing declaration:
" At the this Congress the whig party

We have not room to-day for any extended comment
upon Mr. Marshas positions. and perhaps none is re.
quired. They speak for themselves. one fact. how.
ever 10 be matter Of congratuation The speeches
aud letters OF such eminent whig gentlemen Messrs
Marshall, Sanly Williams, White. and Cabell. are
likely TO set the sectional aspect OF the presidential
canvass in its true light. even before il begins There
sccls iitte uidt ptopt
thai point le, their leaders arrange matters they
may. In fact, that whole question, far as General
Scott is concerned, has been settled ever since the
most strenuous an'i-slavery whig leaders in Penn
syvana and Ohio insisted his nomination a, the
head Of their anti compromise resolutons-more than
year before the Wing National Convention was 10 be
held and in State canvass which they had determined
to fight on abolition ground This step the part OF
the anti slavery whig leaders only prematnre
graiuitous and wanton II proved clearly that they
had made up their minds to ssi=e beforehand upon the
great military champion Of the wbg party. and that he
should either be her Presden, not be President al
all
That General Scott should have consented to such a
proceeding is the wonder and the pity OF his case II
has plainly riven the whig party 10 twain. The dis
traction and confu sion OF the whg congressional
cus--caled with much preparation, adjourned
to last Friday evening and then closing, is said. in
result at aHgives indication of the extent and
incurableness OF the wound in the whig ranks.
