What he IS compelled mainly t b de-

wings, that Gen. Scott is sound on
the Slavery question, notwithstand-

eepted the nomination, .a.EitA tLe res
olnti ons annexed. They aver that
If C6ngress should repeal, amend or
modify the fugitive slave law 50 as
to impair its efficiency, the position
he has volunt arily assumed, would
compel Gen. SCOT to exercise the
veto power But in this they are
reckoning without their host; for, il
Gen. ,Seott docs act as they say he
will, he has first to "eat his own
words" 1t will he recollected, that
a canvass or two since, the wing par
| ty advocated the abrogation Of the
Presidential veto, or at least, its very
essential modification. It was de-
nounced as 4 hateful cone man pow
| err as being tyrannical, overbearing,
! monarehieal- diametricallv opp0sed
to the spirit Of republicanism, mas
much as one man, the President,
| they urged, could defeat the will of
! the people whenev er the whim might
seize him. Then, the veto power
was fraught with danger to the re-
public -now, it ha S become thu key
stone of its safety! The position
then taken was en- orsed by General
Scot, as will be seen from the follow
ing extract taken from one Of
bis letters. Read il, and decide
whetle he is a safe candidate for
the South, even according to whig
teachings--as they now exhibit.
If he has retracted or qualified the
position taken in this extract, we
have yet to see it:

Y
GEsrLENENI- After thanking yot
for the kind offer you made last week,
to extend the courtesy of your eeeA
umns to such as might be desipouF
of writing with reference 10 the rail-
road, / ci1,ye your indulgence while
I offer few Of The reasons that have
suggested themselves 10 me, why The
system now before the people should
not be adopted
! / object, firstly and mainly, that
The ia K proposed 70 be levied is not
based upon what | consider the prin-
ciples Of justice; inasmueh, as it is 10
be collected unfortunately from the
whole people Of the county, while
those only WHO are in the vicinity Of
the road will be Immediately benefit
ted TO any great extent Is meas
ure of this character based upon that
pdrfly republican doctrine,t "equal
rights to all, exclusive privileges to
nom ?" No one will say it is. And
yet, those Of our citizens residing in
The eastern, northern, and north
western portions Of the county-who
are nearer to OIL Ter depois than to
| Fay etteviIle; aud that, too, by more
ACCESSIBLE thorou ghGares will have
as heavy a tax 10 pay on The dollar,
| as those who reside within fifty yards
Of the contemplated route. Is this
Just? Besides, The property of those
persons mean, those who live in
! The outskirts Of Lincoln-will not be
materially enhanced in value, if en-
HANGED at all; while those residing in
| the vicinity Of the road will reap the
advantage, by having their lands and
productions increase in value perhaps
an hundred fold. Is it just to tax
me for the benefitNof a man who per-
chance l have never seen-who re-
sides miles from my lpcality-when
| will not be benefited to the extent
of a dime? And yet, | ask, isn't
such the inevitable result if This sys-
tenn is carried into effect? Not one,
probably, will deny it. But it is con-
te nded that the certificates given by
the County Court Clerk will COM
mand a par value, beea use the law
specifies that they shall be received
as cash in payment Of freight or
passage on the road. They forget,
howev{F, that many, very many, of
the citizens Of Lincoln will never
have busn ness requiring them 10 ride
in the cars; and that they will never
BIZ we any use for the road for them
selves as q channel Of transport ation.
Such is undoubtedly the fact. But,
say the advocates Of the ente fprize,
the certificates can be sold to G pitsl-
lists, who will have use for them.
Yes, and that word "sold' is sy-.
anonymous with sac'gi6ce, in this mat
ter. Who believes that capitalist
would put himself to the trouble of
hu nting up these certificates, in order
that he might pay dollar for dollar
for them, when the cash would an-
sw er the same purpose, and pay just
as Tar, without any extra trouble! l
tell you, sirs, if any man does buy
them, it will be for the purpose Of
making money; they must be offered
at b sacrifice, or he will not purchase
them. Such is human nature.
! shall again consider this subject.

Gen. Scott, in November next, we
deem it but proper and j pst that the
people should be appraised Of bis past

ment i the event Of his election
which hist contingency may the gods
fpreiena.
II To commenced then: Previous to
The ass embHng Of The late Wing Ma
tional Conventibh no considerable
body of men, South of Mason and
Dixon line, had ever, 50 far as we
know, urged the name Of Gen Scott
for Tia 1T responsible station-no
State Convention in the latitude
mcntiohed, had announced him as its
favoritf no newspaper Of standing
had advocated his claims but, on
the contrary, all viewed him with
distrusE, and hooted at the idea Of
Gen. SeOH's being nominated, be-
cause It was Thought SD unsafe q
man wbuld not be preseI tied to the
people as suppliant for their suf1
frages; in short, he was avoided by
the whole South as though there
were pollution in his touch b!
In 1913, when Gen. Taylor was
y
nominated, Gen. Scott rec eived about
fifty votes in the Wing National
Convention for the Presidency; and
every delegate who then, voted for
hl1a was from the North, with strong
free soil sympathies. Here was the
ineiplent step to his final nomina-
ton in lS52-this was the founda-
ten. Not solitary man from the
South voted for him. And why?-
Because, from his writings, they had
good reason to believe that he was
strongly imbued with abolition senti-
ments. But he was now before the
country as an aspirant for the Presi-
dency, with a strong force to back
him.. In 1852, the opposition to
him on the part of leading
Southern wings was not less bit
Ter than in 1913. They derided
the idea Of his obtainingthe nomina-
t1on as impracticable lin fact, i'm
possible They knew that the South
ern masses would view with distrust
any man who was as justly an object
of suspicion as was Gen. Scott Not
withstanding all this, however, he.
obtained the nomination. On the
first ballot. he received f3l votes
MI from the North. This fact alone
speaks yolumns without comment
It shows to what be is indebted for

would be ungrateful if hp we're to fail
