MONMOUTH, July %, 1852.
To Major EIacard, Editor of the Free Trader /:
DEAR SIR Some friends who appear to at
tribute more consequence to newspaper reports of
my opinions than do, have specially called my at
tention to the following article from the Memphis
Eagle and Enquirer of the 4th instant
Testimony of Democrat and SOutherner.
We presume that among our Democratic fellow
citizens, at least, the opinion of Ex- Gov. John A
Qutman, of Mississippi, is entitled to some weight.
The genuineness of his democracy and his hon
est but somewhat misdirected devotion to the
Soul; have, we believe, never been questioned
even by the 6;;tterest of his political opponents
gentleman of New Orleans, who was fellow pas
senger of Gov. Quitman few days since on stea-
mer bound up the river, asked his opinion of Gen
Scott p
s.Sir," said the Governor, in reply, "the Amer.
lean people have never done Gen. Scott Justice
The more that mans character and claims of dis
tnction are canvassed the higher will be the stand
he will take in the admiration and gratitude of hi
countrymen."
81 have been surprised and astonished (contin
ued Gov Quitman) that among the Wing Part,
there should be found a single man unwilling t
give him cordial and hearty support. As to nj
being controlled by Seward, that IS mere stuff
l know the man, and he will be controlled by n
Ione,r contrary to his own eoaxieti0as whist !
right. And, as to his being true to the South,

The New York Tribune disposes Of tie Geor-
gia dissentients to Gen. Scott inthe following pth-
y style, Mr.. Jenkins is the gentleman who re-
fused the secretaryship of the Interior when it
went begging.
jenkins says Georgia shan't vote for Scott,
and the Savannah RepaJlicon says that Jenkins is
not to be sneezed st, that without him no Wing
candidate can get the vote of the State. jenkins
having settled the matter, of course we must no
longer count Georgia among the Wing States

SCOtt'S Letters,


We give to-day another letter of the Whir
nominee for the Presidency, showing still farther
the views which he entertains as to the principles
policy, and administration of our GOvernment-
From the four letters which we have thus set forth
1t will be seen that he entertains almost all the
opinions which are most obnoxious to the great
body OF the American people, particularly Of the
Southern States
From his own avowed convictions as decIar
ed in these letters, it will be seen:
LIST. That he is or at least was but short time
since, an Abolitionist in principle, desiring the
determination of Slavery
end. That he is ''Native American, and
world repeal all the Naturalization Laws, by which
only foreigners have political rights in this country
Sd. That he would have Canada annexed to
the United States; thus swelling the already pre-
pondering powers of the North, and of the anti
Slavery party, and placing the South completely
at their mercy
4th. That he is in favor of the abolition of the
Veto power; by destroying which great check,
the Legislation of the Government would be placed
without restraint in the hands of the mere maori-
ty of Congress.
9Th. That he is in principle in favor of a Bank
of the United States; in favor of the odious Bank
rupt Law adopted by the Whig Congress-; and in
favor of the division of the proceeds of the Pub
lie Lands among the States-thus deprylng the
Government of Its legitimate source of revenue
and creating necessity for taxation for Its support
and administration.
9Th That he is opposed to "Secret Societies.
meaning thereby such institutions as Masonry and
Odd Fellowship-benevolent associations which
only fanaticsm has attacked for the lowest party
purposes.
Such being SCOTS principles, which he says are
with him convictions" how can any Southern
man-indeed any friend of the Constitution and
liberal principles, give him support.-Aobile
Register.

The N. Y. Mirror, Wing paper and very
respectable one, thus severely rebukes those un-
scrupulous politicians OF his party, who are en-
gagged in making low and slanderous reflections up
on the courage of General Pierce:
This is disgraceful. The sooner the party which
claims "all the decency' repudiates such black
guardism, the better for their cause. We lnsis

Our FOR GEN. PIERcE:-Hon. William Wright,
whig candidate for Governor of New Jersey in
1847, has come irfavor of Pierce and King against
Gen. Scott. Mr.. Wright is gentleman of much
influence in that State, and will prove a serious
thorn in the flesh Of Whiggery there.

that both Scott and Pierce are brave and gallant
men; and the paltry politician who wodld attribute

ger, IS pottroon, "whom it were gross fattery
to call cOarord.''

The National Era, the abolition paper publish
ed at Washington city, tells the Southern Demo
cratic papers, that they will make nothing for their
candidate at the North by contending that ScoTT
is the candidate of SEWARD. Among other things
it says:
s.Seward Is III the councils of Scott-he has
never repudiated his fellowship or denied his m
huence. Besides, his nomination was resisted IN
the Convention by the south, to the very last and
was finally carried by sectional vote-the vote
of the north

Aldrich, of the district court yesterday rendered
an oral decision in the fugitive slave case sustain
ing the california; law, and remanding the fugi-
tives to their owner, Mr.. Perkins. The decision
is one of great Importance, and will, We presume,
be regarded as final.

TRICKS OF WnIGGERY.-Itis is well known that
the nomination of General Scott for the Presidency
was anything but agreeable to all the great lead
ers of the whig party as we'll as to many of the
rank and file. AT the ratification meeting a.
Washington City, not distinguished whig showed
his face. The effects of this feeling of hostility
upon the prospects of the General, are ANYTHING
but Aattering. Hence to meet and counteract it,
no means have been spared, nor the truth regard
ed
The despatch of Mr.. Fillmore to his friends in
the Baltimore Convention advising them 'by all
means to go for Webster, and save the Wig par
ty" has been denounced as locofoco lie invented
for the occasion. The uncompromisiDg hostility
of Mr.. Clay to Scott's nomination has been at
tempted to be explained away and language put
into that dying statesman's mouth, which he never
would have uttered while living. But far beyond
these in efrontery is the attempt to misrepresent
the feelings of Mr.. Webster. 4 Mr.. Tsimadgo
of New York, stated to the ninth ward whig club
of the city on the 9th inst. that he had seen Mr..
Webster the preceding day and had convcrsed
with him freely upon the nomination and the pros
poets of the whig party; and that he, Mr.. Web
ster, after gratefully acknowledging the attach
Tnent and devotion of his friends said it was tie
common duty of the whig party, now TO rally to
the support Of the nominee of the convention;
that he, for his part, was ready to give the
whig ticket his cordial support, and SO, he trusted
were wings every where, whatever might have
been their personal predilecton.-C Cheraag Gaztte.
From the n. Y. Mirror we clip the following
curious items:
