The Commonwealth, the Abolition newspaper at
Boston, cautions the Freesoiers against voting for
General Scorr, as follows:
GENERAL Scorr UNRRLIABLE. --Freesoilers
should beware Of any specious arg uing as to Cen
raj Scott's freesoil tendencies. Every effort will
be made to gain him northern support from par.
tial opposition at the South. Don't give it. Re-
member that he labored for the passing of the Com
promise measures. He attended the Union meet
Ing in New York and avowed himself in favor of
them. From that day to the present he has not
hesitated to declare his position in favor Of them.
He deliberately takes his place on the Wing plat
form and pledges himself to carry it into practice.
II 10 certain that he must and will do 80 if an
honest man These facts should be known and
acknowledged by every man. Scott IL unqucs-
tonably in favor of admitting any number of slave
States from New Mexico and Utah; of permitting
slavery and the slave trade to exist and remain
there, well as in tho District Of Columbia for
ever; and of continuing the Fugitive law until the
final day of rstribution. The man who votes for
him votes for these measured. Such men, ifintcl-
igent must be slave-catchers at heart as much
he who votes for Pierce" ........ . .
