CEN. SCOTT AND HIS ABUsERS."

GEN. SCOTT AND HIS " ABUohHo.
Mr.. EDITOR: ] hardly ever look over 80 pa
ar hnt see mournful accounts OF the shocking uld
~ in which he ia abused by the " Locoioces.
Now if | remember the facts connected WIN NE
nomination, and the sayings OF prominent men any
respectable papers of the wing party, Just aet hn
melancholy event, tne "oISt 'hlhSo e"iU
have been said by Wings.
The worst that has been said of him was that ne
has been sold to Seward g. Co.; and we have aouii-
dance of Wing authority for that For nstahGe amI

last said Scott had paddock on his llps' ana ms
rincinIes are in Stewards breeches pockets, and ne
stands before the country as the candidate OF TIE
{. higher-aw {" party The same sentiment mas oeen
uttered by Toombs, Stevens, Gentry, Faulkner anu
- host of others, former leaders OF the Wing party
Now. put it to any fair man if any Democrat mas
ever uttered or written worse things OF Gen. oco'
Should not any Southern man blush to cast MS
vote for the candidate of the " hIgher-law parry
Rut let us examine the OF these gentieueh-
these IVhie gentlemen, for coming to conclusion 81
injurious to Gen. Scott. First then, the New OH
Tribune. Times Boston Atlas, Albany Evening Jour
nal and other Abolition prints, placed Uen' cco' "
nomination as their first choice. months before he
Convention assem- bled. Second, in the Convention
for ftv ballots, he got not single SLdUe STATE. lhrG'
sixty-sIx members, comprising the very men VINO So
strenuousIy insisted on his nomination, refused 10
vote for the platform. Fourth, the principal Scott
organs in the free States openly rePudd'e dhu sPi
upon - the platform
These are the reasons why Wings charge General
Scott with being the candidate of Seward q 20:
And are they not sufficient How is 1t with the
Yankee lawyer'' and 6 faintiDg General" as the
sensitive and delicate Southern Scott organs call the
noble and brave FRANK PIERCE-bEave before the
enemies of his country both at home and abroad
Why the Tribune-he leading Scott organ-says
nooriors fact that Gen. Pierce has for years
been foremost in prescribing, ostracsng and running
down men of his own party in New Hampshire, In
GLIDING its nominees for Congress and for Governor,
because of their GUOIoed repugnance to The extension
slavery and to the ugitire-saUe LaU. And yet In the
face Of those notorious facts Gen. Pierce is pronounce
ed FreesoiIer by Southern Wings! es, the man
who run down - Hale and hunted out and broke
down Atwood, Z" because of their repugnance 10 the
extension of Slavery and 10 the fugiuve-saVe, is
Freesoer! But Pierce say these Southern Scott
men, is Freesoer because he was . born and rails
ed - in free State, where every body, say they,
be FreesoiIer be false to his section or his
instincts Why, what does this argument do with
Webster and Fillmore! They both - born and
raised - in free States
The truth is, the South never had better friends
than Levi w oodbury, Frank Pierce, Harry Hubbard,
and Edmund Burke-all New Hampshire men, and
all true the Constitution and the Union of the States.
Wings and the Abolitonists, they held on to their
principles and since the death of Woodbury., Gen.
Pierce has been looked to the great leader of the
New England Democracy. No man, any where, is
tuer than he is TO the equal rights of The States to
the Constitution of the country, all his prove
he Is what he was, and he be relied upon in
my humble opinion, in any and every crisis. So
thou ght Virginia, thought North Cdrolina-and
hence he nominated. He will be elected.
B. ].
THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune was off its guard on
Tuesday last having lately tried speak quite softly
about the South. Buta Correspondent having sent
him description of revolver ntmating at the same
time that every Southern gentleman who has slaves
should buy a dozen of these articles, Mr.. Greedy
speaks as follows:
Is it possible that Southern gentlemen, who own
Slaves are obliged to provide the Of killing
them at such rate Is it possible that they have
any disposition to rebel against their owners even
10 attack them We have always understood Slavery
to be divine, at least patriarchai institution, and
such of the perfection of all that is sweet
and lovely in human relations. Certainly we often
hear of slaves who, having made the mistake of free
ing themselves, have FASTENED back 10 their old homes
and their former bonds. How these contradic-
lions be reconciled %
Having dropped the of abusive epithets till af-
Ter the Presidential campaign, the Editor contents
himself with the above sneerng style of speaking of
southern gentlemen-which some southern gentle
men are bound to take in good part, seeing that the
Tribune is the leading and principal Scot: organ.
