have voted for Palmer, for he was whig the wings

GIVE understood from reliable authority that a
young man representing himself the Private Secre-
tary OF Gen Scott, was in city few days since.
We understand that he claimed to be what he repre-
sented himself to be, and beyond this we know moth
ing of him personally. He may be the Secretary of
Gen. Scott he may be the private secretary, but,
ifwhat we heard concerning him is true he lacks the
discretion commonly belonging to "prvate officials -
may do for the private secretary of Gen. Scott to de-
nounce the Hon. r. Toombs of Georgia. as an infa-
nous liar and he may state that if Scott would per-
nit him, he could publish conversations, &C., which
would damn Toombs. This may do, we say, for Gen
Scotts private secretary, but it not only sounds bad
coming from the impcraled lip of frothy bov and is
well calculated to leave an impression on most men
that Gen. Sect selects very Indifferent men to dis
charge very delicate and responsible duty.
But what misson Of a private character was this
young bev hiskered. and imperaled young ntrus-
ted with in this remote out-,he-way section of coun-
Try Was the business public, private, or Political
We understand that this private secretary has been

presume that he is travelling neither for pleasure nor
health.

the company he keeps. fthis true and we were to
Judge Gen. Scott by this rule, strong would be
made out by simple statement we now make upon
unquestionable authority.

cupy the same spew in the same church at Washing
ton,every sabbath" Is this accident But it m ay
be said that this is a small matter. Grant it. It is
evident however, that they not only on terms with
each other but that their social relations are intimate
COL Cobb told us in speech here, that Se,Card was
looked upon with dread and horror in Washington
And why is this Why, if his political principles
encircle him, and his association is so dreaded how is
it, that Gen. Scott of all other men, should be found
seated in the sanctuary of God in the same pew un-
less close and quite cordialsympahy existed between
them /? We know that church association draws men
together well political afinities but when both
combine, il would surprise to men seated in
the "pew," kneeling the same altar and read
ing prayers out of the same book. Scott's church
companion is Seward and Seward is for Scott for the
Presidency.

1trWe have been struck with three expressions in
the message Of Gov. Foote tothe Legislature now in
session. We look into an Executive document for
statement of TRUTH and when an Executive SO far for
gets his position and the dignity of the State over
whose character and honor he is called to presde
to deal in assertion it is time the changes of
the wind and note the latitude and longitude on the
political chart
Gov. Foote says, at page I'd of his message:
Entertaining these views in regard to the charact-
erisc features of our plan of governmentthe impor
tance offaithfully adherng to which, will add, has
been made particularly manifest by recent occurrences
lit will not appear at all surprising to minds exempt
from prejudice, that should have felt altogether un-
willing that this State should be deprived of at least
one-th and perhaps her Choe representation Con-
greSs, several gears to by failure my part
to perform plain official duty, without the perform
ance of which, the Legislature could not have been
convened in special session at this time
Now this is complete sentence, and it conveys a
disctinct meaning and as to what that meaning it is
our intention to inquire. Gov Foote says, he felt
unwilling that the State should deprived of onefth
of its representation in Congress. So did we, and we
protested against the action of the last legislature, in
regard to this very matter. The last legislature
bound in good faith to the people to have redstrced
the State, giving to ne district thus allowing to
the State, FIVE instead of four now, representatives
in Congress, which the late apportonment awards to
But how Gov Foote dare say, that failure his
part to perform plain official duy could have result
ed in deprVing the State of her whole amount of
presentation in Congress rseveralyears more than
some guess and others will say. How apparent
the demagogue sticks out.

association of this city. The association confirms our

inclined to waive those very dgned scrupIes, put out
by the Argus for effect We desire the discussion
and are glad to getit any terms.
One word to the Argus. Will it pledge its friends
to stand the fire. and not vacate the house when its
champion shall have closed his first speech-n other
words, will the wings listen to our speaker.
The discussion will come off on Wednesday next in
this city.
Whereas. challenge has passed between the
Argus and Standard, for political debate be-
tween Col. j. B. Cobb, whig eector. and some
competent competitor of the democratic party,
and, whereas, the Standard without consultation
with the democratic association of this county
having invited James Phelan of Monroe county
to act for the party; and whereas, the endorse
ment of the democratic association is required by
the whig organ prerequisite to the discussion.
Resolved, That the democratic association of
this county will waive its just pride in the ability
and skill of its own members for the contemplated
discussion, and heartily confirm the choice of the
Standard
ResOlped, That if the Argus intended the chal-
lenge for the association, it will accept it, and

The Logica.l ..ArgnS. .

1MG ELOSACdA snISussS>
The logic of the Argus, on par with It's declara-
tions. August 2stb., we employed the following Lam
guage;
ave charge that Gen. Scott did request his person
al friends not to call on him to give publicity to his
opinions on the: e:Compromise Measures
This is what we said. The Argus denied the charge
and called for the proof We gave the proof in the
language of good achtg, E. c. Cabell, member of
Congress from Florida. 1t is in these words
"Sr, / do not know what letters have been actually
written to Gen. Scott. But have the best reason to
believes and to Lnou that he has prevented letters be-
ing sent to him. by earnestly requesting his personal
friends not to write letter asking him to give pub-
city to his opinions on the Compromise Measures'
Is this not pointed-concusye 1t is. MIR. Cabell
announced that he bad treason believer SO and So
This ''reason to believe, wasderved from etherine
but he confirms IN the next words the treason to be-
ieve,' by saying, "AND TO KNOW ;"what that
Gen. Scott had requested PERSONAL friends not to rite
letters askng him to giUe publicity to has opinions on the
Compromise Measures. Now no man will say, that
Mr.. Cabell uttered these words without personal
knowledge of their Truth. His statement "and TO
KNOW, was made on his Oacn and not on the infor-
nation of another man.
The question of fact is between Mr. Cabell and the
Argus We believe Mr.. Cabell man of truth-we
think he spoke the TRUTH and the impeachment of bis
veracty by the Argus, amounts to nothing without
proof showing Cabe1rs statement untrue:
We will remark for the benefit of the Argus, that
we shall not stoop to mere qubbIng. What Mr..
Cabel has said is before readers and we are con-
tent to abide their Judgment whether we have sustain
ed the language of the charge.
The remark that Mr.. Cabell is not competent wit
against Gen. Scott, put forth by the Argus is
issue worthy of the Argus alone Most men will re-
gard Cabe, as not alone competent" but conclu-
sive witness, on question Fact And the issue is one
alone. IfGen. Scott did request his personal
friends not to i0re letters to him asking him to give
publicity to his opinions the Compromise Measures
then Cabell tells the truth If Gen. Scott did mol
make such request then Mr. Cabell deliberately ed fol
he said ne had the "best reason to believe, AND TO
KNOW" that Gen. Scott had "preVented' such let
ters being sent to him.
AS to Col. Johnson's partly relieving the STANDARD
from any hx in regard to this matter we simply re-
ply that the Standard first drew Col Johnsons atten-
ton to the subject, and furnished him with the proof
