Nullifcetion I'm Old yirginia-Captain Scott
and Governor Wise Bolts, Treason, Mig
gers, Democracy and Disunion.
We spread, full length, before our readers, this
morning special report of the extraordinary
speeches of Captain Scott and Henry 4. Wise, at
late democratic meeting in the city of Rich
mond Virginia, got up for the special benefit of
John Minor Bolts, and to silence forever his late
audacious declaration, that the South will not
break up the Union should Fremont be elected
to the Presidency by the voice of the American
people.
Captain Scott is the happy man who, in 1852,
caught all the old outstanding democratic asp-
rants for the White House-afull bakers dozen
upon letter which vas too strong for niggers to
suit the stomachs Of the Northern democracy;
and the result was the nomination of Franklin
Pierce, who had been overlooked by Captain
Scott, and who was, therefore, available. One
good turn deserving another, when the time came
Captain Scott was appointed by Mr.. Pierce
our Consul at Rio Janeiro, and this will ac-
count for the milk in the cocoanut as far as
the Consul from Rio extols to the skies the al
ministration which gave him that Office. Henry
A. Wise is the democratic Governor Of Virginia

Captain Scott opens the csse. His eulogium
upon poor Pierce, bis defence OF The democratic
party, and Of the Southern democracy, on the
slavery question, may 90 for what they are worth.
His main object was 10 show up Mr.. Bolts az a
traitor. guilty Of the greatest possible offence of
treason, and as having east himself loose upon
the world. unfit to associate with honorable men"
in that Gtrocious declaration SAt Fremout's cleo
ton will not drive the Soutfan States to dis
union and civil war. Captain Scott clinches the
nail of his argument against Mr.. Bolts by quoting
largely from Mr. Fillmorc's Albany speech, to
show that the South cannot will not, and should
not submit 10 Fremont's election. Thus Southern
nullifcrs and Northern traitors are mutually EN-
pl0ycd to bolster mp each other. Yet, while
Captain Scott accepts and approves Mr.. Fill

stlf as utterly unworthy Of Southern support.

democratic triumph; but he is still very much

browning catastrophe Of this curious notification
