CALLING 'ABoLITIoNIsM TO THE RESCUE
The following rallying cry TO Aboltionism to
come to the rescue Of General Scott against the
condemnation of the Southern Wings we find
in the Cincinnati Gazette of Monday:
"BoYs OF ONO, DO you HEAR THAT
Toombs, Morton & Co., in card published in
the National Intelligencer, refuse to support
Winfield Scott, because he don't believe slavery
10 the best and most glorious thing in the world.
The old hero had the audacity to say, in letter
to Mr.. Atkinson, of Virginia, that he was in ia.
vor of the right Of petition, and that he thought
emancipation was duty, when practicable
For these crimes and misdemeanors against the
perpetuity Of slavery, Messrs. Toombs, Morton
u Co.. aided by the organ Of Democracy, the
Washington Union, denounce General Scott az
unworthy the support of those pillars of slave
ry and Democracy! Boys of Ohio, do you hear
that? The denunciation of Gen. Scott for such
opinions, is denunciation of you and tour
opinions See to it, that freedom il not struck
down on the soil of Ohio"
On the other side, the New York Euening
Post is greatly delighted with the Republics
report Of General P1ERcE,s sentiments in rela-
ton to the Fugitive slave law, and hopes it may
be true.
With both classes the party is subsidiary,
Abolition paramount.

The last intelligence As to the actings and
doings of the Georgia Constitutional Union
Convention, shows that party to be as distracted
and divided as all other parties everywhere just
at present. We give the following despatch fol
what it is worth. Until full accounts are re-
ceived, it is impossible to speculate on the pro
bable results of the action taken by the member,
of this convention. Two things seem clear
firstly, That the Wing party is divided-and
secondly, That the Democratic party is in moi
much better plight, in Georgia.
CHARLESTON, s. c., July lS.-We have NC
counts here of the action and final adjournment
of the Georgia Constitutional Union Conven-
ton, after having been in session two days.
Anything but union and harmony characterized
the deliberations Of this political body. 1t was
found impossible to make any united nomina
ton, or come to any general or satisfactory
agreement. The convention broke up at wide
variance The Scott men Withdrew entirely

from Cherokee county. They went to work
and nominated what they call a Pierce and KING
ticket, and what 10 remarkable, those who p.rti.
cipated in this nomination were most of than

The friends Of M. Cobb, it 10 said, are mucb

On the 18th of March 1852, at Macao, China,
Lieutenant BENJAMIN SroDDERT CAN'T, Of the
United States Navy.
The deceased had been actively and usefdlly
engaged during the late war with Mexico, both at
sea and on shore, upon that sickly coast in which
war he lost younger brother. Lieutenant LEV,
CAN'T, who fell at the head Of storming party
in the taking of Chapultepec land being the third
or fourth time in such engagements, distinguished
himself in that manner during the war.
There is much connected with the death of this
valuable young officer of the Navy, to call forth
the regrets Of his personal friends. as we'll the
friends Of the service for he was kind, generous,
and dutiful as well as a brave and valuable Off
Ger.
When the Marion (ths vessel he served in to
China) was ordered abroad by President Taylor,
in the early part Of 1850, there were some twenty
or thirty officers, of his rank before him on the
list for duty, and although engaged at the time,
in service at the Observatory, from which service
that scientific officer, Capt. MAuRRy, wrote the
Secretary Of the Navy that he could not be spar
ed yet all Of these, Of whom at least should
have been compelled to go or resign, were let of.
and Lieutenant GANNr again called upon to expose

climate, even to strongest constitutions, He was
not of those who eat the public bread in times Of
quiet, and when called on for duty excuse them
selves from its service. He, therefore, promptly
obeyed, leaving his wife, child, and widowed and
affectionate mother, never to meet again in this
world. His mother has ere this joined him, leav-
ing his interesting wife and infant to suffer their
irreparable loss.
The subject Of our remarks, was the son Of the
