scarcely enough friends of Scott to ven
ture an electoral ticket
GRoRGIA.-So it may be said of Geor-
gia, whore, owing to SCOTS associations in
other States, he is opposed by almost
the entire old Wing party, headed by
such well known Wing leaders as Toombs
and Stephens. 5
AIABAMA.-Here the Wing party pas
sed into the Union party, and while in
that organization became so fixed against
Scott and his friends, that James Aber-
crombie, one Of the only two Wing
members from the State in the present
Congress, is at the head of the list of
distinguished protestants against the
Wing Convention and the Wing candi-
date.
Mlss1ss1pr1.-.The friends of Scott in the
North have themselves blottcd this State
out of their map of calculations.
LoUsIANA.-Who are now the friends of
Scott in this State ? Aristides Landry
and John Moore, who rebelled against
the Scott movement and the Scott lea
ders in the Wing caucus, and now cold
ly submit to the Scott nomination. How
cordial, how earnest, how enthusiastic the
response will be TO such an example, No
vember must answer.
OHIo.-Here the Scott forces are led
by Ewing, one of the original Galphins,
and by Corwin of Mexican memory, one
of the recent Gardiners-another but as
yet unexplored fraud. The game here
is to make Pierce odious by circulating
against him among the free sellers, ex-
tracts from the abolition organ at Wash
ington, the National Era, abusing him
for his steady support of the guarantees
of the Constitution.
KENrUcKY.-You do not find among
the friends of Scott in this State the friends
of Clay. The cause of the Wing candi.
date in Kentucky is confined to other
hands. The gallant Humphrey Marshall
stands back cold and Indifferent, and his
feelings are echoed by thousands in other
parts of the State.
TENNEssEE.--Here General Scott is adj
vocatcd by Senator James G. Jones, upon
whom General Jackson fastened so gross
an imputation, and by the men he can
rally to his standard. Such eminent
Wings, however, as Gentry, as Williams,
as Senator E. II. Foster, openly sever
themselves from all connection with the
candidate of such influences.
INDEANA.-Strange to say that while
the Republic, the National Intelligencer,
and the Southern Scott papers call out
for votes for Scott on the ground of his
support of the Compromise and the Flu
gitive Slave Law, the Indiana leaders
and the New York Tribune expect to car
ry Indiana for Scott, because, as they say
he will there get the abolition vote a
party dependent on such an argument
cannot and ought not succeed and they
will get Indiana just about as soon as they
get
ILLINOIS, where Whiggery seems to
have died and made no sign; or they
may hope as reasonably for
Missouri, where Pierce hNs scattered
and cxlinguished the fret brands in our
ranks, and has plunged the Wings into
deeper despair than ever.
ARKANSAS, like Michigan will have no
thing to doubt upon in November, but
Democratic majorities.
Whiggery is paralyzed by
the Anti Scott demonstration of +. Car
rington Cabell in the present Congress,
and come back into the Democratic line,
shouting with joy. There remains, to
complete the list.
Texas, Iowa, W1scoNs1N and CAL1FoR
MA, the Democratic majority from any
one of which will be larger, from present
appearances, than the Wing majorities of
any three States in the Union.
We started out to name the friends of
Scott in the States respectively, and it is
not our fault if he has few or none in
many parts of the Union. Such as COM
mand and control the movement, how
ever, we have given, and we submit the
result to the reflection of our country
men.
