3 Becet-rish Gen. Scol al the helm,
and Coner Dc similar views, the Tariff
would be SO a1|hsled as 70 develope the re-
sources Of ne country, specially benefit the
aborer, and promote and inyigora.e all the
best Interests of The country.
4. Because under such auspices impede
mems 10 the navigation Of our rivers would
be removed and our Lake harbors projected.
81 Because ander such an administration
there would b. no aggression upon the ter.
ritory Of Mexico OF Cuban inyasions for The
purposeof tx|ending slave power.
6. Because Gen. Scott is man of high
moral chafaoier, capacity and honor, and
would be goysfned by no ciques formed TO
promote selIiSh;of partizan purposes--in his
administration there would be no place or
occasion ;of Kitchen cabinet.
| z. Because in The failure 10 elect Gen.
Soon and the consequent election Of Gen.
Pierce, many Of the great interests Of The
country would remain unproiected; the la.
Dor Of the country depressed, and our inland
waters unimpioved and unprotected.
8. Because bnder such an administration
we might rcAsonably expect Cuban inva.
sion for The purpose Of annexiDg slave ter
ri Dry and Mexican invasion for tho purpose
Of extending slnyery.
8. Because Gen. Pierce has never dis.
,inguiShed sseDf in any capacity either
civil OF miaary, excep, as an unmiiiga.
ted selfish pa'tlizan, opposed to the righl Of
petition and % every man Of his own party
who chershes The cause oflreedom, opposed
TO any appropriations Tor the improvement.
Of the navigation Of our rivers and inland
commerce opposed 10 any adequate pro.
lection Of the labor OF The country against
the pauper labor Of Europe.
10. Because Gen. Pierce Is a man Of
lhird.rale capacity, aid thus exposed to be
controlled by irresponsible cliques.
For these, among numerous other rea-
sons we pledge our warm, hearty, undi-
yided support to the Wing candidates for
President and Vice President
