York. Pennsylvania, and Ohio the three great States
of the Union. The States more under the influence
of the aboltonists than any the Union, except YER
mont and Massachusetts,. If, then, he is elected, he
must rely upon those States that secured his nomina
tion and upon those men who hold to Stewards opin-
ions, because, without them he has chance, the
Compromise or Fillmore party being, the record in
dicates hopelessly powerless in them. SCOTS warm
est and most conscientious friends do claim more
than two Southern States for him-we do not count
Delaware as Southern State though it is SO counted
when count his II delegates for he got that little
State every ballot-we say then, that he must get
almost every Northern State to his election
His election then will be sectional his nominal
ton, and he will be bound, according to the dicta of
party, make his administration as sectional as his
party, and the record shows him thorough sectional
candidate. He will select his cabinet from among
his friends and his friends are Stewards friends and
Stewards friends opposed to the Finality of the
Compromise.
Now, this is dilemma for Southern Union Com
promise wing Supporting in the first place Sec
tonal candidate in the second place, candidate no
where pledged to regard the Compromise acts as f.
nality in the third place. candidate selected mostly
by men who announce their determination to reject
those measures in the fourth place, candidate Sc
lected by the Seward and Greeley influence in N York
the Johnson influence in Pennsylvania, and the
Wade influence in Ohio, all of which are abolition.
1t was thought at one time that the Compromise
Union wings devout Union-loving men, that they
denounced every thing looking tending to section
alism. They denounced States Rights men as but
little less than taitors and all who denounced the COM
promise acts unjust to the South they pronounced
as disunionists, sedous, traitors and CHARGED
them with aiding the fanatic abotonists of the North
in an attempt they said, to disrupt the Union 1t
was hard to bear all this, and vetwe managed TO 90
through campaign with this beading weight attached
to our party. We repealed it we proved by the re-
cord, that it was unjust that they were deceivng the
people. We proved too, that the Union party was the
true sectional party and that time would prove it So
We showed that their natural allies were the whios of
the North, and that they were so thoroughly abolition
in sentiment that, when they came into National
contest, that they would present man and secure his
nomination over the South. Without pretending to
more sagacity than fellow men, it is now seen that
we were right, and that the wings of the South were
defeated in the convention that Seward Greeley and
Gov Johnson thrust upon the South candidate that
he secured only seventeen Southern votes, while the
candidate presented by the South, got only eeren Nor
tterm potes! Sowe find these Union wings support
ing and defending man selected by the enemies Of
the Compromise acts selected and nominated by the
free-soil abolition influence. What a commentary is
this upon the declarations of the Union-oving wings
Hand and glove with Seward & Co., battling with an
ardor worthy better cause to foist upon the South
sectional candidate, the chosen instrument of the
Northern Free Soil Abolition Party. Scott may be
counted as the first openly selected National candidate
of the Abolitionsts for the Presdency-the first can
ddate thrust upon the Nation by an exclusively Sec
tonal vote the first candidate selected almost excu-
svely by openly avowed faction, lead on and con-
trolled by men who eternal hostility to the in
stitution of slavery.
