Southern standard., 1852-10-30

It was gracefully delivered. and her voice reached
with ITS full clear notes, to the rsmotest parts Of
the Hail. 80
The Banner was received by the Club through
the person of James Clark Esq. His admirable
address was listenedefo with every indication of
satisfaction by his audience.
These interesting ceremonies being over, Col
Glenn was introduced to the audience; and en-
chained its attention in speech of more than an
hours length, touching the great questions nvolv-
ed in the Presidential canvass. We have never
known this popular orator more feicitious than on
this occasion. We regret that our limits prevent
more than this passing notice of his speech. We
hope hereafter to be enabled to present complete
synopsis to our readers Mssissippiam.
In the language of Mr. Birney, 'more depre-
cate" the election of Mr.. Pierce, and for various
reasons. lie accepts the nomination for the Pres
Idency, and the platform, because he cordially ap-
proves of the principles of the latter: General
Scott accepts the nomination, and the platform,
but the latter evidently, incunabrance The
Democratic platform was adopted in the Demo-
cratic Convention without struggle or division;
the Wing platform was adopted by the Whig Con
vention, after sharp struggle, and in opposition
to sixty-six negatives. Gen. Pierce was the chos-
en- nominee of the ultra Pro-Slavery members of
the Democratic Convention: General Scott was
the chosen nominee of those members of the Whg
Convention, aCho specially resisted the adoption of
The Compromise and Fugitive LdaO. The two can
ddates occupy the same ground in relation to these
measures, but there is reason to believe that Sla-
very Propagandism will be winked at by Gen.
Pierce, diScountenanced 6y Gen. Scott Plots for
the annexation of Cuba, and the dismemberment
of Mexico thckening. In the character of
Gen. Pierce, in his party training, in the history
OF the influences which secured his nomination,
there is no reason to hope that he would nterpose
against these baseful schemes uhle tile character,
position, and relations of Gen. Scott do authorize
tie expectation Of such interpoStion should he be
elected-not so much because of any Anti-Savery
sentiment he may entertain but because of that
natural Conservatism of the Wing Party, which
shrnks even from real progress. lest it may dis
turb existing relations. Above ALL the Democrat
c Party Is the strong party Of the country. It
never shrinks from taking the responsibility and,
ii 1t succeed on a false Principle, it will not hest
tate to bring all the powerful machinery at its COM
mand, to enforce that Principle. Defeat 1t, waen-
e0er 1t assumes false position on tie question of
Sla0ery, and 1t ecW eventually take true one, and
IN that case, its action on tie question would be en-
ergetjc and Conclusive, not like that Of the Wigs
feeble, hesitating, and eO"s0ronising,
The Washington Republic prints Gen. Scott's
speech at Auburn, New York but carefully omits
that he was in company with William H. Seward
all the tlme and even excludes the speech of the
latter, welcoming the General to the hosptalites
of Che place. Montgomery 44doertiser.
