mlttee IS welcome to all the capital they make
for General Scott by such means Of political war
fares
Sir, what can the high-n1inded and honorable
people, North and South, think of such system
of electioneering Here are two documents--one
published to be circulated in the North, the other
IN the South-one representing the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency as pro-slavery
man and friend of the South, the other showing
him up as an Abolitionist, opposed to slavery and
the South, and both emanating from the same ex-
ecutive committee, and circulated by members of
the same party
For one, sir, if my party were capable of such
fraud and duplicity, | should cease to cooperate
with 1t IN any effort to elect its nominee. Iwould
not pander to such purpose, not trife with the
credullty of the public in such a manner. am
authorized to say, and I here affirm without fear
OF contradiction, that the Executive Committee Of
the democratic party have published no document
during the present canvass which has been design
ed or was adopted to circulate in one section of
the Union more than another. They. haze neither
published nor circulated anydoeument which was
not as applicable to Massachusetts sas. to Missis-
sippi, and, which might not, with perfect propre-
ty, have been sentinto any and every State. of the
Union.
Sir, / have a. list of all the documents which
have ever been published by that committee and
circulated, and Igive the title ofseach, that all
may know their character. There is no assault
upon General Scott, showing him to be one thing
in one section of the Union and the very reverse
in another. They are all natonal documents and
answer as well'forfhe North as the Southern lati-
ttude. Here they are
