SCoTT Us. SLAvERY--We assert that there is
no public man in the United States whose express
ed sentiments on the subject of slavery are more
hostile to the South than those of Winfield Scott
In his letter to DR.. Atkinson of this State he
says:
l am persuaded that it is a high moral oblioa-
ton Of masters and slaveholding States to employ
all means not incompatible with the safety of both
colors, to npeliOrate slavery even to ExTERM1NA-
TON.
If any politician has ever asserted a more in
cendiary principle, we have never seen it. A
"moral obligation to meliorate slavery to extermi-
nationP' Shareholders of the South, do you en-
dorse this sentiment? This is not all. The same
obligation to exterminate slavery rests upon the
SLAVEHOLDING STATES. If the master
won't free his negroes the State MUST, is the
plain English of this principle.
Will the whig papers Of this city answer the
question Hon. can Gen. Scott, who believes the
determination of slavery high MORAL oBLIGA'
TON, be for the recapture of a slave AFTER TIKI
SLAVE has got to free State ? If there is NOR
al obligation to free a negro while in our midst
how is it right to bring him back to slavery after
ne has escaped Answer me that, Messrs. Bea.
con and Herald. To the mark No 6ob6ing o.

In a Winchester paper, we find sketch of a
speech lately delivered in that place by Mr. z.
COLLINS LEE, of Baltimore, the Wing District
Attorney of Maryland, which sets forth with as
much frankness as truth and completeness, the
hopes, calculations and present sentiments of the
party who maintain the sectional nomination of
WINFIELD SCoTT:
81 know that there is spirit of disaffection
abroad in our ranks and that am free to confess
that Webster, Toombs, Gentry &C., have added
to this disaiection. But we must not be dismay-
ed. The signs at the North are Frightening
Seocard and his party are SOorkiRg herd for Scott!
'Greeiy and Thurlow Weed are moving heagen and
'earth' IN Neo York, and will carry that State for
Scott by tremendous majority. Johnston and
'Thaddeus &egens hare pledged Pennsylvania,
and they never fail in their promises Ohio, too,
is safe. The Pittsburg free-soil Convection will
nominate Chase, and Chase vU Mrow his infu-
'ence into tile hands Of ScoHP'
This is at least an honest calculation. 1t reck-
ems on true data SEWARD and his party are
working hard for ScoTT; GREELY and THURLow
WEED are moving heaven and earth in New York;
Governor JoHNsToN and THADDEUs STEVENS have
pledged Pennsylvania; and CHASE of Ohio will
throw all his influence into the hands of SCoTT.
These are the reasons why this Wing orator,
speaking the real thought of his whole party be-
hcves the success of SCoTT possible. On the 9TH
Cr hand, the obstacles are considered to be chiefly
the disaflecton of the anti-sectonal Wing states
men. But these are of but little account. For
Mr. LEE continues;
The cards, fellow citizens, are all stocked and
we care nothing about Webster. He reminds me
of my old horse when troubled with the bots.-
'Drench him once or twice, and he is again ready
for the harness, SO 1t IS ciM Webster GiVt
him glass ttgo Of whiSkey, and he ariU spring
to tie traces as he did in 1848."
In these extracts we have the ScoTT party pain
ted to the life Here we have the sentiment and
thought Of all the Wings. This frank man from
Baltimore has lifted the gauEy curtain that only
half concealed the wire-work and the whole ma
chine is patent to our eyes.-Ricdmond Examiner

To the astounding developments and mares
nests of the Bulletin and the ''oathing articles
of the Bee, we oppose the following from the New
York Times, Scott paper of great influence ed-
ted by the honorable Mr.. Raymond, late speaker
of the New York Legislature, and delegate to
the Wing National Convention our
cit will be perfectly safe to say that the Bati-
more nomination has not the support of a single
free-soI democrat in the country There is no
of attempting to avoid this fact and play tricks
upon sense, by pronouncing the resolutions farce
and of no account. They are part and parcel of
the nomination. Mr.. Pierce and the resolutions
are unit The convention embodied the two
They cannot be dissected and discovered The
resolutions are the back bone, the mainstay of the
candidate. Without them he is nothing, and they
nothing without him. The two fractions fit to-
gether admirably.
Mr.. Pierce has been decided opponent of every
opinion that makes free soiler from the days Of
has political noUtiate. The various actions of
President Van Buren, cited four years ago to prove
infdelity to slavery, were always combatted by
the Senator from New Hampshire. HIS allegi-
Gnce to southern interests has been re-d6Frned so
often as to become provefb. The resolutions har-
monte most concordantly Nth all has ontecedents.
There have been times when candidates were arbi-
trarly obliged to abandon their own notions, and
descend to platform dictated by convention.
But Mr. Pierce has everything arranged to suit
his individual idiosyncrases. He does not meet
the party; the party goes to meet him. Never
was there such refreshing unity between candidate
and cartel.

The ScoTT PARTY.-The Utica Gazette, New
York paper very much devoted to President Fill
more, says:
"To sum up, we expect if Gen. Scott is elected,
to see the general affairs Of the country conducted
upon the wing principles while in minor matters
we shall not be disappointed to witness full dis
play of the peculiar practices of that class who
have attached themselves to him. They wW en-
rich themselves out Of has administration by fair
means and foul, but the increased prosperity Of
the country under wing policy will enable it tc
stand the demands Of their rapacity. AS to the
weightier matters of the law they will not care te
NEEDLE, provided their cupidity IS satisfied. o.
this we have guaranty in the readiness with
which they sold out their principles at this
