Southern standard., 1852-10-09

The Union Compromise wings of Mississippi have
resorted every expedent that ingenuity could de-
wise, to prove Gen. Scott Compromise man. and that
his Northern supporters in favor of regarding
those famous Measures Finality--that they set
tied all questions which they relate both in principle
and in substance. This has been the labor of the
Southern whig campaigner. Col Cobb, MIR. Yerger,
and even down to D. w. Adams, have spent them
selves in this effort. Well have they succeeded In
our opinion regards Gen. Scott, they have failed
AS to their Northern allies, about to show
from Scott whg authorty that New York. in the most
authoritative manner has informed Southern Scott,
Union Compromise men, that her citizens construe
the Wing National platform just they please. That
if they choose, they'll spit upon it. Even under the
pressure of Presidential campaign, the Scott wings
of New York could not be forced up approval of
the National platform. The wings of N. York. held
State Convention on the goth of September to nomi-
nate Governor and State officers. The following is
the resolution relative to National politics.
THAT the whig party being national party, devo-
ted to the Unon and to the welfare and promotion of
all the varied interests of this great republic and uni
tormity of action and concert of purpose beng attana
bic only through the agency of National Conventions,
an honest acquiesence in the decision and action
late National convention of the whig party upon all
subjects egtimately before them, is the duty of every
whig."
So it is the duty of every whg to acquiesce in the
action of National convention only when the "sub-
jecs legitimate Who can fail to see in this the
spirit and the trick of abolitionsm. Slavery, to the
Northern wings, is subject that they have ever de-
nounced as "ilegitimate. Their mottohas ever been
to agree to disagree with their Southern allies on this
question: and it this policy that broke the Con-
gressional caucus, prevented '6naty' resolution
and forced Clngman Gentry, Cabell and others, out
in address to the South and Southern wings
But to prevent Scott wings from misconstruing the
above resolution and say that endorses the National
platform, we give letter from Scott whig who at
tended the deliberations of the convention and writes
from personal knowledge.
Syracuse, Wed, Sept. 22nd., 1852.
The whig State convention has finished its business
and is Just a0lourning. Its deliberations have been
Harmonious its spirit enthusiastic and the ticket
garded strong one, and gives general satisfaction
The only difference of opinion developed relates tC
the everlasting topic of Slavery, which nothing is
directly said in the resolutions but general declara
ton is made, which those cho please may constr in
an approval of the Baltimore platform.
A LARGE MAJORITY OF THE CONVENTION
WAS OPPOSED TO EVEN THIS CONCESSION, But
YIELDED FOR THE SAKE OF PEACE. On all the
distinctive whig grounds the resolves right strong
and explicit. HORACE GREELEY :
This letter appeared in the N. York Tribune, and il
needs no comment.
We ask Southern Compromise Wings to note this
We ask them to says they do not stand bound to bd
by the party pledged to regard the Compromise meas
ures as "Finaty," having closed the agitation o
the slavery question We say they are, and we poir
to the State convention of May last, to prove it.
But the Southern Scott wings may ask, how stan,
the Pierce men of N. Y upon the action of the Demo
cratic National convention! We answer, thus: Th
Pierce men held State convention in N. York on th
lst September, and here is their resolution.
Resolved-That we cordially adopt, as the sentimen
of this convention, and affirm the platform of prin
cpes contained in the annexed resolutions of the las
Democratic National convention held in BALTIMORE
