heart TO oppose It! and yet there is an op)ecuon
or two that we may as well prefer In the nrst
place, there are some good Wings OF the slave
holding States who are not SO well pleased with
certain records of some Of the gentlemen named
as with what they know of General Scott. We
shall not now enter into any particulars on this
head but shall no doubt be well enough UNDER
stood. We say that the record is at least no
better testimony on this head for Messrs. Fill
more, Webster, or Crittenden, than can very
readily be offered in behalf of General Scott. No
better, we say; and this 10 at present sufficient
And in the second place, we do not comprehend
how the rejection Of candidate chosen by the
great mass Of the Wings Of the country is to ap-
pease and conciliate them, when the minority
cannot be induced to submit to the rejection OF
candidate preferred by them
There is greatdeal of nonsense and absurdity
in all these demands, and we wonder much that
gentlemen will insist on preferring them. AS
Mr. Marshall is prominent, influential, and i'm
portant member Of the boiling fragment of the
Wing party, and as he bolted because of his
steadfast devotion to Southern interests, we will
close these comments by clip or too from the
record with respect to him. in order to see whether
real devotion to the interests of the slaveholdng
States, or some sort of devotion to particular
candidates, or hostility to others, lies at the bot
tom of present dissensions.
The Paducah Ky Journal says:
"Hon Humphrey Marshall is dead set against
Gen. Scott, and has written very indscreet
letter upon the subject. He has also taken
ground against the call for Wing National Con-
vention, unless the Wing members Of Congress
shall previously make platform for said conven-
ton. The people do not want any platform made
for them by Humphrey Marshall and other
in Congressional caucus; Con-
gressmen are assuming too many powers and
privileges, anyhow, and they should not stretch
the blanket too far Why Mr.. Marshall should
become so ultra in his Southern sympathies and
views, all at once, we are at loss to understand
Time was when he was considered hardly ortho-
dox.
And the Louisville Courier adds
s'Mr Marshall's conduct has certainly excited
some surprise here among those who best know
him. Only few years since, as is well known
to hundreds, he was IN avowed emancpationist,
and he made earnest efforts to form an emanci-
patton party, independent of, the Wing and Demo
cratic parties. Now, however, in order to gain,
If possible, the confidence of Southern men, he
tries to see how ultra he can be on the other
extreme"
