We propose enghen the InIcisenccr with the follow

with whose feelings and action, in opposition 10 Gen. Scot
President that paper fully end heartily coinclJcd
long since Those gentlemen have stood faithful 10 tei
Professions while the negencer has forgotten its fiery

gentlemen for refusing surrendcr 10 Gen. Scott are

To prevent all mistake and mespprehenson we, the
undersigned, Members of Congress- adopt this method OF
making joint statement to constituents respectively
and to all who may take interest in the subject that we
cannot and will support Gen. ScoTT for the Presidency
he stands before the American People, tor tie follow
Ing amongst other reasons:
He obstinately refused up the time of his nomination
give public opinion favor of series of
Of tile last Congress known the compromises the pcrfna-
nen maintenance of which with s question OF para
importance. Nor he since his nomination made
of his approval of those measures as final
| adjustment Of The issues in controversy
II is the resolutions Of the Convention that nomna-
need be but Gen. Scott in his letter OF acceptance which
contains all that we have from him on that matter, does not
give them the approval of his judgment This ne seems stu
diousy have avoided He accepts the nomination with
the resolutions annexed That is he takes the nomination
onere, individual takes estate, with whatever
1t may be loaded with And the only pledge
hon
the resolutions 1.-THE known incidents OF long public
| nfe," &c.
one fur Of, in favor of the principles OF
compromise In one least OF his public letters he
has expressed sentiments nimica TO the Institutions OF III
teen States of the Union Since the passage OF the COM
promise he has suffered his to be held up before the
people of several of the States candidate for the Pres
dsncy by the open and avowed enemies of those
And in The Convention that conferred this nomination upon
him he permitted himself TO be used by the Freesors in
that body defeat Mr. FILLMORE and Mr. WEBSTER, be-
of their advocacy OF these measures and ther m ad
| hercnce to the policy that sustained them.
To join such men, and aid them in completing their tn
ump over and sacrifice the and tried friends of The
sutiou and the faithful discharge of all its obligations Is
what We do The dictates OF duty and patriotism
! Berny forbid 1t.
Free soil wing of the Wing party That his policy II ne
should be elected would be warped and shaped TO conform
to their views and to elevate them to power IN me aomns
ra,on of the Government but be conedered les
aud probable result And believing as we do mat Inc
