The Scott Platform.

The New York Herald says The
plan of the whig party for the Pres
idential campaign, as prepared by
Senator Mangum, Of North Carolina,
comprehends "a gunpowder candid
ate and the platform Of the spoils.
Some idea may be formed OF the plan
by the following:
Question. What is the opinion Of
Gen. Scott upon the Fugitive Sla ve
Law? =
Answer. Look at the battles Of
Queenstown, Chippewa, and Lundy J 5
Lane.
Q.-Is he in favor Of that law as a
binding compact between the Nor Ia
and South, strictly constitution Ial
and proper?
A.-The siege of Vera Cruz v Us
one of the most splendid military
achievements Of modern times.
1 Q-Will he if elected President
cooperate with Seward and his allies
for the repeal of the Fugitive Slave
Law, OF will he resist all efforts Of
the agitators TO disturb it, and stand
forth in its vindicatlon like Fillmore
and Webster?
A.-The victories Of Cor5ez were
eclipsed by the triumphs Of Churu-
busco, Contreras and Chapultepec:
and whatever may be the political
opinions of Gen. Scott, man who
was offered the dictatorship Of Mex
leo and the free gift Of 4 million Of
dollars can be trusted in anything.

WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, JANUARY g. 1852.

1t is evident that the Democracy of Missouri
are unwilling to lose the services of Colonel
Benton. He has identified himself with the in
terests of the State, and no one, we presume,
will he surprised to see him returned to the
House of Representatives. He is man of in
domitable energy and perseverance, and will
make his mark in whatever capacity he may
be employed
The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1852-01-08

MIssouRI-Colonel Benton has issued an
address to the Democracy Of Jefferson county,
Missouri, dated December 10, in reply to an
invitation to visit and address them. He reca-
pitulates the causes Of the political troubles in
that State at length, which he enumerates as
follows:
al. Reputation of the Notification Seces-
sion resolutions of 1849. 2. Reputation OF
the vote, and voters, and their hackers, for
Wing Senator 3. Adhesion to the right of
instruction within the limits of the Constitu-
ton, and according to the will of the people.
4. Adhesion to the Baltimore platform Of lS4s."
In relation to the 4th article, (the Baltimore
platform of lsas,) he says:
"That platform contains the Democratic
ground in relation to slavery. The Nullfers
wish to engraft upon it new dogma, which
was expressly and almost unanimously reject
ed by the convention which framed it, namely,
Thai Congress has no rightto legislate upon sia-
peru in the Territories This doctrine like all
the doctrines of the school to which it belongs,
il of modern invention, and only invented for
the purpose of multiplying chances to find
preteIts TO resist the laws Of Congress, and for
living Of into that new confederacy which is
TO consist wholly of slave States, and to be
cbristened g The United States South" The
Democracy take the Baltimore platform as it
was agreed to-not as it was not agreed to
still less as rejected--and, above all, as at
tempted 10 be interpolated by the dregs Of the
party which made the effort and 80 miserably
failed in it at Baltimore"
The St. Louis Union, in which we find this
address, fully endorses the past and present
political conduct of Colonel Benton. cores
pondent of the some paper gives as his opinion
that but few of those who signalised them
selves in opposition to the Democracy Of
Missouri will ever return TO it--"they are
broken wing, which must drop off," he ad-
yisss the Democracy 10 pursue progressive
policy, and says that although the Nullifers
have managed to unsest him (Col b. In the

THE HUNGARIAN CATHOLICS AND Kos
sUrH.-Those who entertain the opinion that
all Catholics hold the views of Bishop Hughes
in relation to Kossuth and his cause are very
much mistaken-to suppose so, would put the
Catholics in false position. 1t is worthy of
remark that eleven of the seventeen Roman
Catholic Bishops Of Hungary addressed me-
mortal to the King of Hungary in October,
iS4S, favorable to the cause of Kossuth The
FIVE Bishops who did not sign the address were
detained from the Convention by causes beyond
their control, one Bishopric being then vacant.
