Fire in the Rear,

The Knoxville Whig, warned, begged and i'm
plored the Convention not to saddle Scott on the
whig party. The Tennessee editor thus expresses
himself of cold Chipeway:"
''He has been almost forty years prominently
before the country, and in that time he has done
and said many silly things, which in themselves
are harmless, slumber in silence, and are covered
beneath the rubbish of time. But let him only
come before the public for political fayors-where
he has no sort of business, all his foolish deeds
and speeches will be reused from their slumber-
disorbed of their winding shetland will be used
to terrible effect, especially at the South. None
but the most discreet man that ever lived, stand
ing in the focus of public gaze for forty years and
having to move in the midst of all factions and
interests, could avoid doing and saying some fool
ish things
How much more then, we ask, would the life OF
man of Gen. SCOTS ageakneSS, yanity and pride,
be spotted all over with words and acts that should
be obliterated forever, and that ought never to
have occurred HIS improper uSe Of public mo-
neys IN his early days IN the 0rmy-his quarrel
with General Jackson, in which he came off sec
ond best--his bad treatment of Gov. Clnton-his
unsuccessful quarrel and controversy with General
Gaines-his contest with Gov Marcy in which he
got the worst of the ight-his more recent con-
test with Gen. Pillow, in which to say the least Of
it, he made nothing--and finally, his base treat
ment of Mr.. Clay in 1840-all these and more
would come up in judgment against him, if once
brought before the country as a candidate for the
presidency. His notorious vanity, which is more
than equal to his military ability, has been the
faithful mother of his ndiscreet acts, has given
birth to a progeny of hateful and silly speeches
and deeds, numerous as the school of little fishes
that nhabit the waters of Egypt

What They Saw.

The Boston Journal, a print which runs UP at
its masthead the flag of Scott & Graham, gives
its version the Compromise measures in an ar
ticle from which we take the following extracts
Speaking of the acts giving territorial govern
ments to Utah, and New Mexico, the Journal
says:
''These two acts were passed without the pro-
viso against the introduction of slavery. The ap-
pllcatlon of the proviso was earnestly advocated
at the North, but Mr.. Webster, after careful
survey of the whole ground and thoroughly infor-
ming him of the character of the climate and pop
ulation-the position and resources-of the two
territories arrived at the conclusion that the North
was contending for an abstraction. He earnestly
and patrioticay regardless of personal considera-
tons, recommended the friends of freedom to
cease contending for point which was in reality
of no practical Importance, and which threatened
to bring about dissolution of the Union with all
its appalling consequences. The result has shown
the wisdom of the course recommended by Mr..
Webster. Nearly two years have elapsed since
territorial governments were established in New
Mexico and Utah, and not slaue has been carried
to either territory"
Of the act abolishing slavery in the District Of
Columbia, it says:
"This is generally regarded as an important con-
cesslon on the part OF the South to the cause oi
human freedom. 1t was a measure offset by the
Fugitive Slave law. This act carries out an ex-
phcit obligation imposed by the Constitution. The
North contended for trial by jury in the State
where the alleged fugitive is seized. The South
conceded the jury trial if it should be demanded,
but held that it should take place in the case OF
fugtives from Justice, in the State whence the re-
QUESTION emanated. The act provided for the ap-
pointment of commissioners, before whom the al
legged fugitive should be brought, and who should
give all parties fair hearing and discharge or re-
mand the alleged fugitive as required by circum-
stances. 1t cannot be denied that if jury trial
had been granted, the provision in the Constitu-
ton for the restoration of fugitives would have
been practically annuled. No jury of twelve men
likely to be empanneled in the free States would
unanimously agree to restore fugitive to slavery
The present law is not so favorable to the fuci
tive could be desired, but its practical operation
has not justified the forebodings of the friends OF
freedom. Not more than twenty-five have been
returned since the law went into operation, pc
riod of nearly two years. Probably within that
time some thousands have escaped

4 Compliment.

Brownlow's Knoxville Wing has been selected
by the administration of the official papers for
the publication of the laws of the United States
This is strong endorsement from high whig
source. The Register which supports Scott, has
heretofore we believe, had the publication of the
laws at Knoxville.
Brownlow says, in his last paper, that his Wing
has now circulation of 3, ,6OO-much larger than
any other weekly political paper in the State
From the leading editorial in the last Wing, we
extract the following
But we are told that it is our s'duty as Whigs,"
to come up to the support of this nomination The
wings have duties to perform, it is true but the
first on the list is to take care that the party is not
disgraced, by assuming false and inconsistent po
siton, or mised by designing men, who are es-
sentially selfish in all their schemes. Every well
informed man knows, that there exists at this time
in the whig ranks, from the Codfsheries of Maine
to the Bay of San Francisco, incurable distrust
of the very men who control Scott, and who inf1u-
enced his nomination at Baltimore although these
men now presume to speak and act for the whole
whig party. The consequence is, there is no hope,
no confdence--no feeling of security in the whig
ranks, but in the defeat of these bad men, who
are running for the Presidency, in the name of
Scott and the whig party.
10 wing principles we snail ever remain hrm,
and the more firm because of the strong desire we
feel to keep them alive to keep them pure, and to
have them administered by pure hands There
is avast amount of corruption among the would be
leaders of the party--no man should dread its ex-
posure-because the party will stand the more firm
when it is hunted out and exposed. Our party is
in the hands of corrupt juntos-it is counseled by
unprincipled cabals. Unprincipled leaders, and
hireling Presses, destitute of one spark ofmany in
dependence, and sunk to dungeon depth of infamy,
by their dastardly obedience to the commands Of
village politicians-have well nigh ruined the great
powerful party. which now only has an existence
in ndne--not in FACT.
We crave the forbearance of our friends, if We
dwell upon the corruptions of our leaders, with un
wonted emphasis, in the present condition of the
whig party-our party never had more urgen
need of discreet counsels than now, for it is in vain
to deny that spirit of dissatisfaction is general

ODiniOn of the Bee.

In reply to the numerous and scorching articles
we have quoted from that powerful whig paper,
the N. Y. Courier and Inquirer, the Bee says that
press it will yet support Scott, and if it don't it
makes little difference, for it opposed Young, the
whig nominee for Governor and he was ne7erthe-
less elected by large majority
We thank the Bee for this reminisence. Young
was an anti-renter he sanctioned the outrages
committed on law, life and property by that detes-
table faction, and was tnctured with every sort Of
fanaticism. The Courier and Inquirer opposed
him says the Bee If so it deserves immortal hon
or. This perhaps, is the secret of its influence
with the conservative wings of New York, who
are now repudiating Scott and Seward, and will
give great weight to its opinions here in the
South.
We call attention to the following from that pa
per of the 29th ut.
''To the South must emphatically point the
! finger of scorn and deliberately pronounce them
traitors we have for years fought with them side
by side to support their institutions, and confirm
| the Union-and now in the hour of trial. they
| have Judas-like betrayed US they have volunta-
ry sold their birth-right, through their Brokers
Mangum, Stanly, Bolts d Co., and gone over to
the enemy, viz Seward & Co.; they have
! thrown overheard the authors OF the Compromise,
the defenders of the Union, and winding around
them the serpent coil of Northern fanaticsm, they
haze formed the ViLest coalition that has ever seen
the light; they haze taken to their 6osomas a oiper
alo, aohen he has lulled them to sleep, giU sting

spicy whig journal, unfolds its views and defines
its position as to General Scott's nomination as
follows
