Southern reveille. (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1851-185?, 1852-07-21

THE VINO NoMINATIoN-The nomination
Of Gen. Scott falls like a wet blanket upon
the Wings Of this city. Among all that we
met yesterday and heard speak Of the nOmi-
nation, and they we're hundreds We heard
but one solitary whig who did not declare
openly that he would not vote for Gen Scott
and that one was an AbolitiOnist and a be-
lever in spirit rappings. The wings Of this
city are disappointed, chagrined aud mortified
beyond expression, and they can vent their
feelings only in execrating the means that
brought about so contemplate a nomination.

position on this subject Of abolition, but he
was in favor Of fair play. Mr.. Clay had been
permitted to address the Senate at length the
day before, on presenting memorial against
abolition, and he thought the Senator from
Ohio had a right to be heard in reply. AZ
ter that, they could readily dispose Of the
subject.
This was certainly a fair proposition, and
creditable to Mr.. Buchanan. but Norvell per-

on the table; thus applying the gag to Mr..
Morris, and virtually denying free speech to
Ohio, while it recognized it in Kentucky.
Mr.. Pierce voted yea, together with Mr.. Cal
houn and his special friends, against Mr..
Buchanan, Mr.. Clay, and other advocates Of
fair play"
We have presented the record Of Mr.. Pierce
as a Representative and a Senator in Con-
gress. During his two terms in the House,
and until he resigned bis seat in the Senate,
be was always true to the Slave Power, and
gave no vote which subjected him to its dis
pleasure or suspicion.
II may be said that others in those days
voted as he did, who since then have shown
their devotion 10 Freedom. True. but he has
continued unchanged. When John p Hale.
his intimate friend for twenty years, faithful to
his convictions Of right, denounced the annex
alton of Texas. in defiance Of the edicts Of his
Party. Mr.. Pierce, trampling under foot his
long-standing friendship, turned upon the in
dependent representative, followed on his
track with relentless hostility, utterly proscri-
bed him, and compelled the Democratic press
Of his State to eat its own words on that ques-
tion. From that time be has been the leader
Of the Hunker Democracy of New Hampshire
and when Mr.. Atwood. the regular nominee Of
the Democratic Party, frankly avOwed his dis
appreciation Of the Fugitive Slave Law, Mr..
Pierce attempted, FIRST to browbeat him into a
retraction Of his honest words and then led Oh
the Party in the WORK Of making a new nomi-
nation. of ascertained devotion to the Slave
holding Interest
On a public occasion in New Hampshire
after the passage of the Adjustment measures
BY Congress, he avowed his entire appreciation
Of them and the newspapers recorded the
high praise awarded BY him to Mr.. Webster
for his 7th Of March speech.
In letter to Major Lally, dated May p, a
few days before the late Convention, which
was doubtless designed to be used in that body,
he insisted that, for the sake Of giving pro.
lection and strength to the men who in New
Hampshire had fought the battle for the Fugi
tive Law and Compromise, the Democracy Of
the nation ought to endorse these measures

intend to speak to you more fully upon

Of the action Of the Convention upon this
question cannot be over-estimated. / believe

South to press resolutions unnecessarily often.
sive to the sentiments Of the North. But can
we say as much on our side Will the North
come cheerfully up to the mark Of constitu-
tional right If not. breach in our party
is inevitable. The matter should be met at
the threshold, because it rises above party,
and looks to the very existence Of the Con-
federacy. The sentiment Of no one State is
to be regarded upon this subject but having
fought the battle in New Hampshire upon the
Fugitive Slave Law. and upon what we be-
lieyed to be the ground Of constitutional right
we should of course desire the approval Of
the Democracy Of the country. What | wish
to say 70 you Is this II the Compromise
measures are not to oe substantially and firmly
maintained, the plain rights secured by the
Constitution viii be trampled in the dust.
What difference can it make to you or me
whether the outrage shall seem to fall on South
Carolina, OF Maine. or New Hampshire ?
Are not the rights Of each equally dear to us
all? will never yield to craven spirit
that, from considerations Of policy, would en-
danger the Union. Entertaining these views,
the action Of the Convention must, in my
Judgment, be vital. If we of the North who
have stood by the constitutional rights Of the
South are tobe abandoned to any time-serving
policy. the hopes Of Democracy and Of the
Union must sink together. AS told you,
my name will not be before the Convention !;
but cannot help feeling that what is there to
Be done will be important beyond men and
parties transcendently important 10 the hopes
Of Democratic progress and civil liberty.
