/ OEWas Gen. TAYLOR true to the Union, the
Constitution, and the South?
| A,-He "remained to the hour OF his death true
to the Union, the Constitution and the South. But
we know that even he was greatly misunderstood
and misrepresented and the country sorely felt the
effect of the baneful influence around him"
Page 4.
Q.-What influence do you now fear?
| At is this same influence which we now tear,
and therefore the Southern States with accord,
demanded a public, unequivocal declaration from
all Presidential candidates It Poss'0Ie'
IN the case of Gen. Scott than from Others because
he has presented himself <in such a questionable
ape.'"-Page 4.
Q.-What would you merit if you were to give
your support to the man VINO presents hinteoh ia
| such questionable shape?"
| d." Should give my countenance and sup
port to one who is now a Northern man-who, al
though native of Virginia, boasts that he Gums
no slaves and declares that he is IN favor OF the
gradual emancipation of the slaves OF others, and
that st is a moral obligation of those who do
own them to serterminate' StaUery-who IS the
candidate of the FreesoI element of the Wing
party-whose election is specially urged by the en-
T. IL Law ora10 9th
and abolitionists-and whose nomination IS barely
tolerated by few Southern men who prefer policy
to principle because he can get more Gnta-sIG0ery
votes than any one else- sir, say, were to give
my support to such man on the terms proposed,
and in view of all the circumstances past and pres
ent feel that l should merit the erecration Of
those l epresent"-Page 4.
Q.-Who do you find the advocates of the re-
neal of the fucitve-slave law sending as delegates
to the Wing National Convention?
A." We find them sending as delegates to rep
resent them in the National Convention Mr.. Palmer
Kellogg, whose official deputies are said to have
avowed their determination to resist the execution
of the fugitive slave law, and Others whose con-
sciences like his, compelled them to denounce and
reve the law of the land."-Page 5.
Q.-What gentlemen on the floor in Congress
did YOU find to be the most earnest advocates OF
SCOTS nomination?
A-"H Here on this floor (Congress) we find that
gentlemen most conspicuous for opposition to the
Compromise, especially the fugitiveslave law-gen-
tlemen who left the first Wing caucus because it
endorsed the Compromise, and Others who think
with them the most earnest advocates OF SCOTS
nomination. Page 5.
Q.-But supposing there was no doubt as to the
soundness of Gen. SCOTS private opinions; what
had you a right to demand
| d" We bad right to demand public er-
pressiyn of them, and think, from all that can
hear, that the great of the Southern Wings
will consider that he has already 10Th June) put
off their public avowal too long."-Page 5.
Q.-What parties did Gen. Scott allow to rally
under his name?
! i'd He has allowed the anti-slavery and anti
compromise parties to rally under has name. I'm
der the cry Of Scott and Repeal, the worst agita-
tors and revers of the laws of the country and the
patriots who passed them, have been sent to the
Wing National Convention sworn friends to Gen.
Scott."-Page 5.
Odd General Scott speak before these cleo
| tions ?
A-"He would not speak before these cleo
tons, nor until he had the Convention filled with
men committed to him and to his mann policy. 1
think the Southern people will now say 1t is too
lLdte."-Page 5.
CAN Gen. SCOTS friends say that he was
not controlled by others, and by whom?
A." His best friends cannot say that he is not
now Q2th June) controlled By Seacurd and his
folloaDers."-Page 5.
Q.-To what organization would Gen. Scott owe
his election!
A-"The organization to which Gen. Scott
would owe his election would be the same as that
which could now, and may in 1856, elect Mr.. Sew
ard, and would control the Administration of both
or either."-Page 5.
Q.-Woud the results of the election of Gen.
Scott and Mr.. Seward be the same?
| H." The election of the Senator from New
York and of Gen. Scott, by such organization,
would lead to precisely the same results, and the
former wonld follow as the necessary consequence
of the latter, If the Union held together till 1856"
Page 5.
Q.-What would be the effect of such election ?
| A.-"The effect would be to open wide the flood
gates of abolition agitation and to PROSTATE every
Constitutional Compromise Wing at the North, all
Of whom will be prescribed and treated as outside
barbarians. "-Page 5.

men of your party?

of our party that Conservative Democrat be

humiliation of all our Northern friends" -PGge 5.
