Gen. Scott and the Com promise.

Gen. Scott and the Com promise.
From q speech made by Senator Jones, when
in Memphis two weeks since, we quote the fol-
lowing:
sBut Gen. Scott has done more than indulge
in mere declarations. Before the Convention as
sembled, the Southern delegates met together
excluding all Northern men from their councils
and they laid down platform Of principles and
reported them to the Convention, and which the
Convention adopted and passed. Has Gen. Scott
equivocated or lodged direct acceptance Of
them? No, sir he has not After the 4Gth bal
lot, when the Convention adjourned, | went to
Washington. 1t was on Sunday. l went to Gen.
SCOTS house. and | said to him, You have seen
the resolutions which the Convention has passed
do you approve Of them? Yes, sir replied Scott,
Il cordially approve them all-and l will say 50
or die This, now was Lctore he was nominated !;
and in less than thirty minutes after he was
nominated, his answer was in the Convention nc
ceptng the entire platform And now, what
man in the world can object to Gen. Scott on this
ground What more, | ask you, could he have
done than pledge the toll of his long life, and
the character which he has acquired in the vim
dication Of those measures?
"Wheu we consider all this, il is only matter
of establishment that any man can doubt him
There is no man in America who stands higher
or is purer than Scott? In the whole history of
these measures there is no man who was more
ardent in their support during their tendency,
and there is no man who will more faithfully
stand by them, or is more unequivocally pledged
TO their support Sir, human nature can give
no more--and reason and common sense have
nothing more TO asl!'

The Madison Banner says


s'The glorious intelligence that is constantly
coming to US from all parts of the State, of the
enthusiasm Of our Wing brethren for Scott and
Graham, induces us to suggest the propriety Of
holding a general mass meeting at some conve
nient point where the Wings Of Indiana may meet
to consult and rejoice together over the bright
and cheering prospect of q certain victory that
awaits them in the coming election. Already
have we put our armor and thrown to the
breeze our spotless banner, inscribed with the
names Of Scott and Graham and the principles
we love to cherish. Let us, then, initiate the ex-
ample of our gallant standard-bearer at Queens
town, and call together our patriot band to min
gle, as one, our voices in just and holy cause
and though, like him, we may fall into the hands
Of the enemy, we will, like him, have the proud
consolation Of knowing that we have performed
our whole duty. But here the odds against us
are not so great; and the same undaunted spirit
and lofty patriotism that inspired him there, win
give us an easy victory in November.
"We will beg leave TO suggest indianapolis, u
place of easy access from all parts Of the State
as the point and, as to the time, the anniversary
of some one of SCOTS glorious victories, if our
contemporaries Of the press Of Indiana will be good
enough to select from the multitude that clus-
ter round the brow of the gallant old hero"
