that We have ION him on that matter,

judgment. This 10 seems to have
s,udiously avoided. Hc accepts the

know. incidents Of long public lifc,"
&c.
Amongst these ''known incidents"
Of his life there is not one. 80 far rs
We are aware Of in favor Of the prin.
cil les Of the Compromise. In one,
at least. Of III, public letters he has
expressed sentiments inimical to the
institutions Of fifteen States Of the
Union. Since the passage Of the
Compromise he has suffered his name
to be held Up before the people Of
several Of the States as . candidate
for the Presidency, by tho oIcn and
avowcd enemies Of those measures -
And in the convention that conferred
this nomination upon, him he permitted
himself to be used by the frecsoilers
in that b'dy to defeat Mr.. Fillmore
and Mr.. Webster, because Of their ad.
vocaoy Of these measures, and their
firm aaheIencc to tie Policy that sus
tanned them.
10 join such men, and did them IN
completing their triumph over, and
sacra6ce Of, the true and tried friends
Of the constitution and The faithful
discharge Of all its obligssions, Is what
we can never d.. The dctsses Ct du
ty and patriotism sternly forbid it.
We consider General Scott ~ the
favorite candidate d the free. soil 1ina
Of the whig party. That his ps,1cy,
it he should be elected, would bswss
ned and shaped % conform to THEN
views, and TO, elevate them to power
in the administration Of the govern
ment, can but be considered as . L.
climate and probable result. And,
believing Is We do, that the views Of
that faction Of miscl,ieyons men are
dangerous not only to the just and
constitutional rights Of the Southern
States, (Which We represent in part.)
but to the peace and quiet Of the
whole country, and to tho permanent
union Of the States, we regard it ~
the highest duty Of the we'll wishefs
Of the country everywhere, whatever
else they may do, to ct least withhold
from him their support. This We in.
tend to do.

For reasons, to some extent indica.
ted in speeches and addresses hereto.
fore made by the undersigned, they
deem it to be their duty to withhold
their support from Gen. Scott az a
candidate for the Presidency. Hi.
should seem to be necessary, We VIII
hereafter, in some form, exhibit more
fully to our constituents the facts and
reasons which have brought Us TO this
determination.
