GEN. SCOTT AND THE SOUTHERN WINGS.
In order TO STEM the Southern running strongly
AGAINST Gen Scott two Southern Wings have recently
stepped forward their !msy buwarks around him.
AIR Ward of Kentucky in speech In the House. is report
ed to have said:
Tha, General Scott was actively instrumental in their
nhe Compromise measures) noducon no man can gain
say notwithstanding he is required 10 place n'se upon
The record The requirement Of pledges presupposes that
mans former course in life is not TO be relied on lie De-
eved that if General Scott had proclaimed from the house
IONS that he favorable those measures, would nave
smacked ct eso,ism and would in effect have been an
management that he was candidate for the Presidency
thus soliciting the popular vo'e lhls was an auae IN
would place himself tc needs no repetition OF the deeds
or ac:s which has performed Neither Harrison, in ls4o
nor Taylor in l54S required TO put himself upon me
record II il then wrong to require pledges, would
not hc wrong to demand then In 1887 General SCOTS
history speaks for him. 1t has boon urged as an Objection
ayaics, him that has been adopted by the North and hn
therefore South should not support him. II the Norh
nefer General Scott they have right to DO so on lss
does not prove that he is affiliated with nboitloniss.
Mr. SrASLr of North Carolina, also, writes long letter.
indicating the soundness of Gen. Scott.-lc says
Put is due to myself say tha. have never said and
will not now say that II can't and won't 70 for Scott
On the contrary have always said knew he was an earn
es, ardent and jealous friend of the Compromise measures
AS there wae in the United States knop Of my orn
knOedge ta. he ras So before their passage through Con-
grcss and atferlrdrds.
The Republican of this city admits that Mr. ST. may 30
correct in what he says but demands declaration under
Gen SCOTS own hand absolutely necessary 10 satisfy
tho South. Tho Republican brushes away Mr. Stanlys
sophsy the Of the Petersburg InIeli
gencer as follows:
Mr. stanly, however, appears to deem it important to
know for himself the opinions Of Gen. Scott from his own
lbs upon the Compromise The OF the Southern reo
ple havo the opportunity OF hearing from Gen.
Scott in person declaration of hs opinions and II cannot
therefore deemed unreasonable if they expect him 10 stale
those opinions ring tie only by hch his senti
mems be placed beyond The reach Of earH II lie IN a
yor OF the Compromise and he feels liberty so to declare
himss in pcr.nna Intercourse, of which there to te
no d,u5I rhv should he not declare himself in ray
ich enable the ,choi people TO hear the declaration for
hemsslres? What policy dictate is one questions what
the constitutional rights al tho South demand is another
We for one should regard than defeat, victory
which gained by panderng 10 the preudces and passions
of the enenics OF the Constitution and The Laws.
