Southern standard. [volume] (Columbus, Miss.) 1851-1856, 1852-10-30

WnHe Cne eIecuon oI Flerce would be signal for
the dismemberment of and the extension of slavery
over Mexlco--the unwarrantable seizure of Cuba,
and triumph to the South unequalled in the his
tory of the BANNING CURSE OF SLAVERY. -
''WITH SCOTT AS OUR PRESIDENT,
THE FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW MAY BE RE-
PEALED WITHOUT BEING NET WITH
AN EXECUTIVE VETO. NOT so WITH
PIERCE IN THE EXECUTIVE CHAIR He
WOULD VETO ITS REPEAL BECAUSE ITS
COMMAND THE APPROBA-
TION OF HIS JUDGMENT. AGAIN, THE
DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM DECLARES, IN
EFFECT, THAT ITS REPEAL WOULD BE
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Pierce says that declaration is correct, and be-
leving this, he would be compelled to vote its re-
peal, if he paid any regard to his oath With
Scott it may be so amended as to give the fugi-
tive trial By jury-or the whig resolution is not
inimical to change in this respect. Gen Pierce
is pledged to resist any change in the law whatev-
er, that will impair its efficiency, and hence he
would veto such n bill
The Pittsburg Gazette is the oldest WING pa
per in Pennsylvania. It's strongly Freesoil and
ant-Slavery, and warmly supports Scott. 1t thus
defines the views of the Scott party in regard to
the late Baltimore Convention and their platform:
owe rejoice that the ultra pro-savery men
ton of our opponents they had every thing their
own way, but not SO in this By this platform,
which we certainly do not approve, the fugitive
slave law is left open question, as it ought to
be, and both those who approve it and those who
condemn 1t stand just where they were. We
should have preferred, however, to have taken
Gen. Scott as we took Gen. Taylor, without any
platform at all, but as we have seven. good Wing
propositions, and candidate who will meyer do
what freeman may not of right do and who is
the representative and.favorite of those who have
boldly and sternly stood out for the rights of the
north and the claims of suffering humanity, sure
ly we ought to be satisfied.
."The eighth proposition is easily disposed Of
Thesconvention, speaking of the compromise acts,
has said that they will maintain them and insist
on their enforcement until time and. experience
shall demonstrate the necessity of further egisa-
ton to guard against the evasion of. che laws on
the one hand, and the a6uses of their poaoer on
the other, not imparing their efficacy. This GER
talnly leaves the question as open as could be de-
sired; and there are many among us who believe
that the contingency which we have printed in
italics has already arisen,
The following is from. the same paper
''We abide in1be Wing party because we be-
Iieye it is the ONLY PARTY IN EXISTENCE,
THAT CAN. ARREST THE PROGRESS OF
lCEAIMS; and this it could have done ere now,
had not their strength been broken by the deser-
lton ofmany thousands of jealous friends of free
dom, who, in their zeal placed themselves in po-
sition where THEIR INFLUENCE WAS LOST; and they
themselves became to the STAKEHOLDER objects OF
derision rather than fear"
The following is from the Mansfield, (Ohio
Herald, another Scott Wing. organ:

resolve does not 60 SO far as the Democratic.
The former says

The latter says
