THE CHARGES AGAINST GEN. SCOTT
IS l. The first and most serious charge is that Gen
Scott is in the hands Of Seward the aboitionists and
Freesoers. For the truth of this charge, among 9TH
er good and true men, Messrs. Gentry and Williams
of Tennessee, are responsible.
3. Another charge against Gen. Scott is, that heis
opposed to the existence of slavery. The proof of
this charge is found in his letter, in which he
declares that it is hi h moral obligation 81 masters
and sLareholding States to employ ALL MEANS not in
patbe with the safety of both coors meIiorae
slavery, EVEN TO DETERMINATION.
3. Another charge against Gen. Scott is that he is
in favor of annexing large number of free States to
the Union, and thus giving to the antisavery power
an helming weight in the councils of the na-
SCOTS letter, dated June 90, 1949-which we have
published in full-in which he says: " In my judg-
ment, the interests of both sides would be much
promoted by the annexation-the several provinces
Canada, New Brunswick, etc.. } coming into the
Union equal terms with present thirty Saes.'
And further: Though opposed to Incorporating with
US any district densely peopled with the Mexican
race, should be uery happy to fraternize Uih
northern and northeastern neighb0rS. The territory
which Gen. Scott is thus in favor of anneXing to
northern and northeastern boundaries is nearly as
large all the territory embraced in the Union.
4. Another charge against Gen. Scott is, that he is
in favor of national bank. The proof Of this charge
is found in his letter committee of gentlemen,
CARDS such an institution as indispensable in peace
and in war; to the successful operations of the treas
ury and the wants of commerce.
5. Another charge against Gen. Scott is, that he is
in favor of bankrupt LaW. The proof of this charge
is also found in his letter of lS4l.
g. Another charge against Gen. Scott is, that he is
in favor of practical destruction of the pODer In
his letter just alluded to he declares himself in favor
of reducing the veo-now SO essential TO the slave
holding Siates-so give bare majority in Con-
gress the power 10 oyerrule IL. Ihs "ouIo oe Pdc
tical destruction of the power.
T. Another charge against Scott is, that he is sup
ported entirely by the enemies OF the tugi1Ve-sla'e
law at the North. The fact that Seward Johnson
and Greedy, the leaders OF the ngnet.'aw nlel' DIT
his warm friends is sufficient proof of this charge
g. Another charge against Gen. Scott is, that he
is in favor of modifying our naturalization laws 50
as to admit aliens the elective franchise upon only
one condition, viz: that they serve one year IN inc
army or navy of the United States. The evidence
of This charge is found in Gen. SCOTS letter OF accep'
lance and in a. communication written by him to the
National InteIgencer in 1874. Taken togelhef'
these two documents show him to be In favor OIL 'n''
dangerous and uni Ist modification.
g. Another and a most serious charge against Ueh'
Scott is that he stubbornly refuses to define his p0
sition on the Compromise. The proof OF this chafgS
is abundant, but we will not go into II IN deIalI'

Mr.. John Minor Bolts, the Wing EIector Tor Inc
Eastern District of Virginia, evnces his respect W.
Mr.. Ballard Preston, the EIector for the same PaIy
for the West, by taking enrre possession o n.0
stumps. That supreme contempt for the WeST bn
Elector which he has so often uttered In WorGS' Nv
now sets forth in action. We learn from the 'aI0I
Star that he has lately been talking his stereoPu
nonsense to the people of Lexington. Among o'nsI
revelations, he announced that General Scot go'0
ment of Mexico, stamp him the greatest SlaeS~"t
Of the age.'' But he forgot to give the PeopIs s,
Lexington his theory Of the way in when usd' M
Scott came to be statesman-whch Is oasV CO.,
the principle of contagion. He says General IsD" a
has lived SO long at Washington in the atmOSPIJ .
of MISUNDERSTANDING all the great quesHODars
cussed-and associatins with all the greaI m. hIn
of craftsmanship every day-that he coui0 hU n;Is
getting to be one himself In short, Bolts m'' Se
that craftsmanship is taken'' like smallpox o. @
measles. He himself, however, lived at WaSH ;o:
ton too-and if the air of craftsmanship Inec p,
he certainly ought have been subject. bu' p I.oo
