while the country warned BY recent experience has come
to look with dstrus and repugnance upon the very idea
Of mere military Presidents
In this OF facts, with no foohold OF popular doc
ne before the people, and proceeding the admitted
fact that the whig party all told, is decided minority
in the electoral vote the wings are driven to fraud as
means of obtaining votes which do not belong TO their
organization or policy

corrupt bargain" This fact is proved by the amplesi
whig testimony They know that the nomination Of
General Scott was regarded the overthrow in the whg
ranks of the policy Of sectional peace and OF the men
who in tina, party have labored TO maintain it, Yet in
the face OF these facts these agitation wings give 10 their
bargain the shape of platform and thus start with a
nantes, fraud on the people.
Their next step was bolder. Having started, in the
first place. throughout the abolitonist sections Of
the North and in all the anti slavery journals without
