TO- this result In able speeches several OF them. in most
conclusive manner set forth the grounds OF their opn
ions and declared that General Scott could not receive
their support But Sewsrdism and sectionasm were
deaf their warnings. and not only forced the nomina
tion OF Gen. Scott upon the reclant and protesting
South but resorted TO confessed corrupt bargain to
accomplish il. which bargain sconully repudiaied
by the Seward organs OF the North just soon as Il had
been consummaied by the nomination. The broad con-
tIast OF all this to the Taylor CANVASS most manifest
Then General Taylor was the preferred candidate
of the South. The South, to her cost, was be-
guiled into the belief that he, as southern
man. might be trusted 10 maintain the constitutional
rights the South against the hgher law" doctrines and
the controlling power OF Sewadism in the whg ranks.
No such delusion exsts--hardly is any such preencs

The chosen representative OF the enemies OF the South
The result has begun to appear. II will appear fully in
November
1t is important to remember that, according 10 the most
reliable accounts from Iowa, the Scott movement thus
far seems 10 have pospeed better in the North than
in the South This fact is OF the interest," because

warned and forearmed The democratic cause, as we
believe is safe in the South. Yet il should not be for
gotten that even in that section democratic energy and
wachfuness must rot sacken anil The final battle is
fought and won. AT the North, on the other hand
and especially in the three great States which form the
field of the main contest, we may be well assured that
"hgher-lawism," confident and boasul Of its now as
cerained control in the whg ranks, will put forth its
most desperate and uascrupulous efforts II is for the
democratic party to remember that not only the ascend
ency of its cherished policy and principles but also
the peace and tranquility Of the Union hang on the event
