shall, in my acceptance, give my views on the
| the compromise measures in terms at least as
strong in their favor as those read to you two
| days since"
Voices "Read on read, read"
| Mr.. Bolts continued "Please say as much to
my friends, Gov, Jones, Mr.. Bolts, Mr.. Lee, ETC.,

| "ln haste, yours truly, WINFIELD ScoTT
"To Hon. W. s. Archer"
This was succeeded by laughter
| MIR. Bolts: Gentlemen, don't laugh too soon
| have not done yet
Voice. What another letter.
Mr. Bolts: propose to read the resolutions
referred to in the letter.
Mr. Colyin inquired whether the letter of Gen.
Scott says anything about the fugitive slave law.
Mr. Bolts l believe Gen. Scott makes refer
ence to the slavery question, if that has any con-
nexion with the fugitive slave law. Laughter,
and cries of Good!"1
Mr. Bolts then read the resolutions adopted by
| the New Jersey Wing State convention, declaring
for the generally.ayowed principles of the party,
and resolving: That the Wings of New Jersey
| are now, and always have been, devoted sincerely
and unreservedly to the constitution in all its
parts; that we avow ourselves bound by and
earnest to fulfil all its requirements; that we are
| equally bound to cheerful and loyal obedience
| to the laws; that we respect now and always the
| reserved rights of all the States; that we have
| been always and are now opposed to the agita-
| ton of sectional questions, and are especially
averse to the renewal of all discussion on the
subject of slavery, OF the agitation of any mca-
sures having reference thereto.
This was warmly and loudly applaudsd
Mr.. A. G. Hazard inquired: Are you reading
what Scott said, or what somebody else said !?
Laughter
Mr.. Bolts: | read the paper to show what was
the precise nature of the resolutions to which
Gen. Scott makes reference.
Voices " 1t won't do"
Mr.. Smith, Of Alabama, asked question, to
which
Mr.. Archer replied that he had been friend
and classmate of Gen. Scott at the time he was
thirteen years Of age, and that General Scott had
learned from his own lips that he was in favor of
the reelection Of Mr. Fillmore. Cheers He
denied, most emphatcally, that there had been
any collision between himself and General Scott,
and complained OF the imputation.
Mr.. Smith said his question was simply this ::
Was it not understood between you that the letter
should be used if Gen. SCOTS friends should
think it expedient? If not, why was it shown to
members of the Convention?
Mr.. Archer again denied that such an under
standing existed, and stated that the gentleman
had ungenerously charged collision.
New Jersey Wing convention, which passed those
liberal resolutions on the subject of slavery, he
announced that fact to General Scott. He day
tony stated in the letter that he had no wish to
draw him into u correspondence, but, if he de-
sired to make communication to the New Jer-
sey delegation he would be willing to receive it.
No answer has been received, applause and nc
member Of the delegation has ever seen a letter
| from General Scott on the subject.
Mr.. Bolts: | am happy to hear the distin-
guished representative from New Jersey say that
he has no private letters in his hrecches pocket.
Laughter.
Mr.. Cabel asked if there was not another let
ter; but his voice was drowned in cries of g Or
der" and the greatest confusion prevailed.
Mr.. Bolts said he could not answer the ques-
tion as he had no such letter in his brooches
pocket, laughter and cheers and that if it
falls to the lot Of Gen. Scott to have the honor of
a nomination, the gentleman will have an oppor-
tunity of knowing what Gen. Scott is for and
against. And he asked Mr. Cabell this question
" Is it OF has it been your purpose to vote for
Scott, on any letter or PLATFORM"
Voice: THAT question is out of order" Ap-
lplausc.
Mr. Cabeil: | have stated in private and pub
lie, everywhere that under no conceivable state
of the case will / vote for a man who repudiates
principles dear to me. Applause.
Mr.. Bolts concluded his speech, when
Mr.. Choate replied to certain remarks directed
by Mr.. Bolts against him, taking occasion to Gu.
logic Daniel Webster as the author of the Com
promise measures.
Mr.. Bolts, with no disrespect for Mr.. Webster,
said that Mr.. Clay was the author Of the Com
promise measures and this was received with
wild applause.
