GEN. ScoTr AND THE CoMPRoMIsE-Th Re
public, at the conclusion of an article on this sub
ject, says
We owe it to Gen. Scott in this connexion to
add that,a far as the measures of Compromise are
concerned, it is well known that he was solcitous
tor their passage, and eXerted himself to accom-
plish il. He was in favor of the Adjustment, the
Fugitive Slave Law included land to this point we
can cite no more sufficient or conclusive testimony
than that of one ofthe Democratic Representatives
from Connecticut, Gov Cleveland, a Freesoil fol-
lower of Pierce and King. In his speech in the
House on the Homestead bill april ls) that gen.
tleman said:
"Gen. Scott was, by Mr.. Fillmore, placed tenn
porarily at the head of the War Department. and
in that position, coupled with his great military
fame, was able to, and did, exert a powerful in
fluence in favor of these Compromise measures.
al desire to do justice to the man who has been
arragned here and charged with hostility to these
measures, or at least that he did not or does no,
commit himself in favor of them. Justice to thai
distinguished Wing requires of me that should
say that he Gould not have done more He was as
active man as could be found in getting :hess
Compromise measures passed. was here, ant
heard from every quarter that Gen. Scott was as
active and energetic in his efforts as any man ir
Washington, and never did a man labor harder
than General Scott to prevail upon the Freesoi
members Of the Wing party to abandon their posi-
,ion and to adopt the Compromise as measure o.
the new Administration.
''These measures were passed mainly through
the influence of Clay, Fillmore, Webster, Scott
Foote aud Cobb. These were the men who car
ried them through and every man who was in the
last Congress knows it,"
So in his speech of the Sd of February, Mr. Ca
bell, Of Florida, stated of his own knowledge tina,
General Scott ''exerted his personal influence to
the utmost to effect the passage of the Compounds
measures"

SCoTT AND ABoLTIoNsM.-The Democratic

gainst Gen Scott by bazoning the fact that all the
slave States voted first for Mr.. Fillmore. They
made the same appeal against Gen. Harrison, be-
cause the slave States first voted for Henry Clay,
and on the strength of it insisted that the South
should vote for Van Buren, Let the people re-
member thai bit of history. Harrison proved per-
fectly sound and Van Buren, perfect rotten. If the

Mr.. CLAY AND GEN. ScoTT.-The New York
Express states that Mr.. Clay conversed with free
dom of Gen. SCOTS nomination, to one if not more
of his friends after the nomination last week-says
he spoke of it on "Wednesday night of last week,
and again on Friday night, to one of his friendly
watchers, and adds:
ellis preferences were for Mr.. Fillmore, and
they remained unaltered to the last. His belief
too, in regard TO Mr.. Fillmore's fitness, available
ty and services, were unatered to the end of time.
What he wrote in the letter which we published
in May last, he re-uttered in substance in speak
ing of the acts of the Convention. But he was
satisfied with the nomination of General Scot, land
spoke in the highest and kindest terms of him as a
man, as soldier, and as Wing, and the only
drawback to his full commentator of the final
acts of the Convention, the reiteration of his
early and known repugnance to the selection of
military men for the highest civil offices. That
was point which Mr.. Clay defended during the
whole reign of Jacksonism, and he was not likely
to forego an expression of opinion upon it at the
close of his life, if at all disposed to express his
views upon the subject We believe however,
that Mr. Clay would have voted for Gen. Scott
had he lived.

Mr.. WEBsTER.-At meeting of the Ninth
Ward Lundy's Lane Club, held in New York on
Thursday night, the Hon F A Talmadge, in the
terestng and important statement in regard to the
position and sentiments of Mr.. Webster, which
will be read just now with very general satsfact-
ion. According to the report in the Times
He said he had seen Mr.. Webster during the
day, and had conversed with him freely upon the
nomination and prospects of the Wing party. MIR
Webster in that conversation acknowledged CRATE
fully the attachment and devotion which his
friends had exhibited, both in the National Con-
vention and since the nomination had been made.
But he said he did not see how any good result
could be attained by presenting his name any fur
Their to the country, and that one common duty
now devolved upon us all-that, namely, of rally
ing to the support of the Candidate regularly NOM
mated by the representatives of the Wings of the
Union, in Convention assembled For his own
part he was ready togive the Wing ticket his cor
dial support, and so he trusted were Wings eve
rywhere, whatever might have been their person.
al predictions.
These remarks were received with loud ap-
pause; they seem to put an effectual eXtinguisher
upon the rumors recently circulated with so much
industry, that Mr.. Webster had consented to ac
cept the Native American nomination, and would
not support the Wing ticket.
Mr.. Webster arrived at Boston on Thursday
night, and had public reception the next even
ing. He was welcomed by j. Thomas Stevenson
in an appropriate and eloquent address. At one
passage Webster became so much affected as to be
unable to control his emotion and burst into tears
On rising to reply he was greeted with tremen-
dous plaudits. His remarks were full Of gratitude
and feeling but contained no important political al
usions. He was afterwards escorted to the Revere
House, where he remains for the present After
