Gen. Scott and Mr.. Webster. Fillmore
had great deal OF strength in the south.
and he had the support of the officehold-
ers and of the administration. but he had
alienated the conscience whigs."
They had been forced to swallow the
compromise OF 1850. simply because 1t was
the most universally popular measure
ever put through Congress. But they
would not swallow Fillmore. So they
threw their strength to Scott. whose sym
pathies were believed to be with the anti
slavery wing Of the party. Gen. Scott was
nominated on the ffty-third ballot. after
terrific struggle, In which the few Web
ster votes always held the balance OF
power between Scott and Fillmore.
Gen. Scott was the most prolific and the
most unfortunate letter writer Of our po-
liticai history. He had been defeated by
Gen. Harrison for the nomination in lS4O
because OF letter he had written to
Francis Granger. flirting with the newly
born abolition movement In 1852 there
was q preconvention charge by the Fiji
more men that every Scott delegate had
a letter from the general in his breeches
pocket, cone or another OF which would
put the general on any side Of any cues
ton One of these letters. addressed To
Virginia delegate. was sprung early IN
the proceedings. and in 1t the general
made a qualified pledge to support what
ever platform might be adopted. This was
| to reassure the delegates from the slave
holding states.

Scott. 1t was a. letter Of acceptance.
couched In less than a hundred words,
pledging loyalty and exclusive support
to the platform. AS 1t had been written
before the platform was made. or the
nomination decided. the all-too sudden
letter helped to bring on the disaster that
met the whig ticket.
Gen. Scott, several years before had af-
filiated with the nativist party in Penn
sylvania, to the extent Of writing letters
attacking the Catholics aud opposing the
foreign element in politics. These old
letters the democrats used against him
with great effect. Gen. Scott took the
stump himself. and. although he talked
much of the ''rich Irish brOgue' and the
sweet German accent" Of some OF his
hearers. he could not win back the for
eign vote" His campaign soon col
lapsed. and long before the election it was
realized that Pierce would be elected.
The election Of 1S4S had been the first
in which the presidential electors had
been chosen In all of the states on the
same day-the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in November-and the cleo
ton of 1862 was the first In which the

by President Fillmore-as the final settle

little difficulty in effecting an organiza-
