ALL FOR SLAVERY!

Some half dozen men, formerly Wings, but
who went into the Union faction pledged to
support no one for office not an out-and-out
supporter of the Fugitive Slave Law, have
at last come out and denounced Gen. Scott
! because he is not up to their mark because
he does not approve of the aforesaid law We
copy their proclamation that our readers may
see the reasons why Gen. Scott is not, in their
| opinion, fit to be elected President In our

be mistaken if the dcnunciation of these

in the free States. They are from States

Att AGAlN.-The Star darcs not venture
the assertion that Gen. Scott is catholic. hu,
quotes paper purporting TO be printed in
New York called the "Dav Book" which de-
ciarcs Gen. Scott to be catholic, or ifh. is
not, on" Of his family has Jrcn educated b,
catholics. The Star knows as we'll that Gen.
Scott is no catholic as it does that Brigham
Young is Mormon. But. poor General
some members Of his family have heen cdu-
Gated in catholic schools, therefore he must
be hanged, True it is, as we have heard,
that daughter of Gen. SCOTS, becoming
sick of the world, retired to convent and
there died. This is no strange event. but it
is rather too hard to hunt down the old hero
on account Of the departure his child from
the faith in which he himself believes.
