September, 1850, where was Winfield Scott? II
is well known that he has for many years pos
sessed many friends, and exercised considerable
influence in the North The exclusive northern
and sectional vote which he received in the sew
eral Whig Conventions of 1Sl0-44 and '4S,
manifested very distinctly that there was a large
class of persons in that section upon whose con-
duct his opinions would have fallen with in1u.

In his appointments, Gen. Scott must look
to the men to whom he owes his election. In
making his selections from New York, it is not
extravagant to suppose that the notorious MIR.

Legislature to give efficiency TO the Fugitive
Slave Law? Owing his election to those men,
they will be his counsellors, and the influence
of his administration must be given to them
Mr. Ca6eR achig CONGRESSMAN from Florida
The policy which has forced Gen. Scott upon
the country is sectional; it sprung from inn
patience Of constitutional restraint. 1t had its
origin in widespread hostility in a particular
section to the enforcement of plain and un-
deniable guarantee of the federal compact

ten by Gen Scott, dated at Washington, Nov
20th, 1874, and read at National Convention
of Native American Delegates, at Pittsgurg, Feb
uary 4th, 1917. 1t shows that in the bitterness
of his, hate for foreigners who seek our shores as
an asylum from oppression, he perpetrated a
slander upon the memory of the Father of his
Country saying that he was the original founder
ofthe Native American Party; and boasting
that he, Winfield Scott, in pursuing foreigners
with more then bloodhound ferocity, was fol
lowing his example.l
