THE SOUTHERN RIGHTS PARTY.-The following
is the letter of Gen. ScoTT to the Southern Rights
party of Alabama, who propounded to him, as well
as Gen. PIERCE, series of Undergraduates in rela-
ton to slavery, admission OF new States, and the
right of State to secede from the Union:
WASHINGTON, july 20, 1852.
GENTLEMEN: have the honor to acknowledge your
to a number of political interrogatories.
beg leave to reply that in my answer to the Presi-
dent of the late Wing National Convention made the only
declaration of political opinions that expect to make
during the present for the Presidency of the
United States
With great respect, am, gentlemen, your obedient
servant, WINFIELD SCOTT
This not being deemed satisfactory, and Gen.
PIERCE having failed to make any reply, the party
as has been before stated, will hold Convention
on the second Monday in September to determine
their future course.
FROM THE SAVANNAH REPUBLICAN.
THE FEDERAL UNION AND GEN. ScoTr.-The
Milledgeville Federal Union remarks:
The Republican speaks the sentiments Of the Webster or
third party in Georgia. when he promises oppose Scott
and Graham This is the ambush fight that the Democracy
have in the present Democracy
beware Of these Webster enemies they fight under the
gon they thank their God they not other men are
they too good mnge in the herd and by
tue Of their arrogant claim Conservation they presume
dictate to the people their duty time under pre-
of enmy Scott they aid and abet his cause They
are wolves in sleeps clothing Let the people who de-
termned Scott shall not have their aid avoid Webster let
Wings who pledged against Scott for Perce that
the way, and the only way the friends of Mr. Fillmore
revenge their outraged feelings"
Without stopping to remark upon the sublime mpu-
dence which could induce late secession print obrude
its advice upon the friends of Mr. FILLMORE we propose
reve the Federal Union of some of its doubts as to our
position. In the first place, then, dead against
Mr. PIERCE dead against the tesseated platform Of the
Democratic party; and dead against every thing which
the Federal Union advocates In the next place. as be-
tween ScoTT and PIERCE dead for ScorT and dead
against PIERCE. Recent developments demonstrate

As to Gen. ScoTT, it is due alike to him and to our
selves to say that his position the subject of the Com

recent developments may be relied upon. This misun-
