that least of ALL Gen. Scott occupies such position on
vital questions OF the day. commend him to the people
OF the South or to the national conservative portion o.
auy portion of the South.
The Wing has utterly missed fire. in attempting TO raise
out OF Gen. SCOTS military deeds smoke with which to
another and conceal the glazing objections which leading
men of his party have boldly placed record against
him. And say for all that In conducting this
canvass against Gen. Scott not military man, but as
the proper person fill the chair of Washington, we shall
mainly rely upon Wing evidence and Wing documents The
task will be comparatively easy one but vastly etcc
tive therefor
For instance Mr. Gentry OF Tennessee able eloquent
and influential Wing member Congress- thus shows up in
advance in his speech of l4h june the absurdty of al
tempts like the Wings humbug the people into voting
for Gen Scot, as President by blazing forth his military
deeds. He says:
believe ,ha, the nomination of Gen. Scott cannot
naonaIze the Wing party even II you pass such esou
lion as have Indicated and he shall write letter putting
himself no1c distinctly upon that platform Events have
already transpred connected with his aspirations for The
Presidency which have infused into the Southern mind,
everywhere dstrust, which cannot be eradicatcd and
though ne might be placed in such position that the
Wings might feel bound perhaps through all Inc States OF

man that could not Tecerc the rote Of single Southern
S,ate-not one. Tha, is my opinion You may talk about
Brdgewater and Lundys Lane and Vera Cruz and Ccro
Gordo and Cheputepec and Moline del Key but It is very
unphiosophic mistake suppose that The gorieS of those
fields alone satisfy the people of the South upon the
questions TO which refer.
Under Stewards auspices Gen Scott became candidate
for the Presidency and if Cen Scott is nominated Bal
timore, he ,eW ore his nomination TO UWtdm H. Serara;
and therefore, Gen. Scotts nomination cannot under any
circumstances nalionaze the Wing party As the
compromise passed. all the papers under Mr. Sc
wards control raised the OF Cen Scott at the mast
head as their candidate for The Presidency. Conventions
were called at The earliest possible time in New York,
Pennsylvania, and Ohio which formally nominated HIM for
the Presidency But no resolutions passed those conven-
TONS recognizing the series OF measures to which have
referred compromise TO be adhered TO and executed by
the North and the South.
