Who are the Supporters of Genera
| Scott What are His Chances!
We might write columns on this fruit
full theme, showing that Scott has nc
chance at all, but tits unnecessary. Our
friend ofthe Pennsylvania has done hin
up in slices taken from the various States
which amounts to about the following
7 MAINE.-First we find George Evans
former U. s. Senator, whose connection
with the Mexican Commission gave rise
to so many grave suspicious among men
of all parties, and whose doings are soon
to be made the subject of Congressional
enquiry,
NEW HAMPsHIRE.-Here we have Co.
vernon Colby, who, by uniting with the
abolition forccs-not the free soiler alone
was once enabled to break down the
Democratic party, led by Pierce, and the
gallant Democracy of the Granite State.
CoNNEcuCuT,-He we have as the
principal Scott leader, Senator Truman
Smith, the bitter foe of the war with Mex
leo, and the man, who, in 848, circulated
documents to the North that Taylor was
for the Wilmot Proviso, and to the South
that he was against it.
MASSACHUSETTS, In this State the lea
ding friends of Scott are to be found
among those who not only refused, in
the Legislature, to supply clothing and
an m nitionto the volunteers who had been
raised by the gallant Gushing to march
to Mexico in defence of the war, but per-
mitted them to be subsisted and provided
for by private contribution the men who
have framed and advocated laws multi
flying the Constitution of the United
States; and the men who have hunted
down Daniel Webster because he refused
to be any party to war upon the insti-
tutions of the Southern States.
VERMoNT.-Takc Vermont next. Who
is there in that State that cares straw
for Gen. Scott, save only as he may be
supposed to restore measures fatal to the
public welfare, as may aid in breaking
down the life giving policy of the Demo
cratic party? What care they for his
military glory-they who-cold in the
last war with England, and hostile in the
war with Mexico. stool of, or openly aid
cd the common foe ? Vermont is the
owing star that never SETS" but shines
through the sickly atmosphere of federal
ism, or marshalls the way to attacks up
on those very compromise measures, even
while supporting Scott, who is, the Wash
ington Republic assures us, the fast friend
of those measures.
RHODE IsLAND.-Hcre the noisy clam
orers for Scott are to be found among the
advocates of that shameless and degra-
ding distinction by which the rich man
was permitted to vote, and the poor man
DISTINGUISHED
New YoRK.-Look at the Scott leaders
here; Seward, who proposed to exchange
white and adopted citizens for the negroes
of the South, in his conversation a few
years ago with Governor Smith of
Virginia. and said he would be glad Of
the bargain Seward who is now the
chief protector of runaway negroes Sew
ard who is in favor of letting negroes
vote Greeley, who was the first to as
sail Scott for his weakness and his conccit;
Greeley, who can tlattcr the adopted CT
tizcnS and vote with the natives; Greeley,
who now supports Scott, and yet splits on
the Platform on which Scott processes to
stand. Both of these leaders and their
adjuncts, cxtoll SCOTS military claims,
and vet both have anathcmized and as
sailed the last war in which he gained his
laurels, as "war against God!
New JERsEY.-Claimcd as the Northern
home of Scott and yet here it is that the
Wings, his truest friends, did their ut
most to oppose the recent settlement of
the slave question-both her Wing Sena-
tors and her Wing Representatives vo-
ting against it steadily to the last.
PENNsYLvAN1A.-Ilere the foes of Clay
rule the Scott cause with a high bold
hand. Headed by Thaddeus Stevens,
who tried to overthrow the ballot-b box by
a resort to arms in 1888 and by VIM.

citizen murdered upon the soil Of the
State in pursuit of his just rights, and re-
fused, during the most fatal delay, to take
any steps to bring tho murdercrs to JUS
tice-cruelty by which he was over
whclmingly repudiated by the people in
1851 the Scott forces rely for votes up
on appeals to tho very interests they have
violated, and for success upon the forget
fulness of their real principles by the PEG,
pie at large.
DELAwARE.-Here the Scott champion
is John NJ. Clayton, the man who did SC
much to defeat Henry Clay in 1913, and
who went out of the Taylor Cabinet CO.
