THE CENTRAL GEORGIAN.
The Presidency—General Scott.
Important Debate in the Sen
ate.
Mr. Man^ura said that he had no speech
to make, in the ordinary sense of the term.
He desired to make a few remarks on some
few points,'which, in fact, mainly referred
to his own personal position, which he was
well aware was of little consequence to any
body; although self was a topic on which
men were supposed to be able to speak flu
ently.
It was known to the Senate that daring
the past winter his health had been deci
dedly indifferent and at best always vary
ing. He had not participated in the bu
siness of the Senate except very slightly,
and still less had he participated in any ar
rangements or intrigues touching the
Presidential election, Yet he found, hum
ble an individual as he was, that he was
made the subject of newspaper speculation
and comment. It had been his' habit
throughout life that on all questions of this
character to be distinctly understood ; and
he desired to explain himself perfectly, that
hereafter no misunderstanding may take
place. In regard to the next Presidential
election, he should very probably stand
prepared to support the nominee of the
Whig Convention. He professed to be a
party man, and should act upon those prin
ciples which he preferred. He should
yield, as he was called upon to do four
years ago, against his judgment, and a-
gainst all his inclinations, to support the
person chosen as the nominee. But, while
ne should probably do this, he had his pre
ference now, as he had four year ago. That
preference implied no dereliction of princi
ple upon his part, nor any departure from
or modification whatsoever, of the princi
ples that he had steadily maintained for
now nearly thirty years, in both branhces
of the Natioual Legislature. He knew, if
he should go in a particular direction, that; appeared in New York Herald. One ap-
there were conservatives of what was es- j peared in the paper of last Sunday; that

in the path indicated by them. He was; 0 f that caucus. His position was well
old enough, if not wise enough, to act upon . known three years ago. He would support
the suggestions of his own understanding; no raan w 1j 0 would uot openly, distinctly,
and wise or unwise, he should probably do a nd honestly declare his intention to sup-
60 without fear, favor, or affeetion—reward | p Qr t the Compromise. And he now de-
or hope of reward—unintimidated by pow- c ] a red that he would act with no party who

tery. In expressing the preference which again of the agitation on these subjects, of
he entertained, he knew that he should! which the Compromise was a settlement.

vailability, and said that for more t h^u a | strous for calm and dispasionate inspec

had been that General Scott was the only
Whig in the country who could be elected
President of the United States by the suf
frages of the people. He then referred to
the attempts which had been made to crip
ple and damage the cause of General Scott
by allying him with Freesoilers and Abo
litionists. This he declared could not be
done. No Freesoiler in the country could
calculate upon his becoming an instrument
of that party. He could never be made
the instrument of faction. North or South.
He believed he was the only Whig in the
Union who had any chance of election to
the Presidency.
He again referred to the interest taken
by General Scott in the passage of the Com
promise. He alluded also and gave great
credit to Mr. Cass for his exertions on the
Committee of Thirteen; and, in reference to
the probable contest between the two for
the Presidency, was satisfied the former
would obtain another victory like those
gained at Cherubusco, Chepultepec, and
all other battle fields in which he had ta
ken a part.
He thought that he could satisfy the peo
pie of North Carolina that their preference
for the present President was not more
wisely than if had been given to General
Scott. He again repeated the ^rounds
upon which he considered General Scott as
preferable as a candidate than any of the
other gentlemen who had been named for
the office. Scott was his first choice, and
if he was notnominated, then he would sup
port the nominee of the convention.
Mr. Dawson made a personal explanation
with respect to two editorial articles which
differ from the constituency he represented;
still he could not for that reason abandon !
He would not support any man who will
not declare a determination to adhere to
what, in his judgment, he should think ; a nd observe strictly the finality of the Com-

He knew that this expression of a pre- Mr. Gwiu asked the Senator from North

harshly upon the ears of the friends of the j that General Scott approved the Fugitive
Administration here, as well as in North
Carolina. But bis duty was to speak the
truth, and the mature confections of his
judgment.
But he thought there . was a man who
upon this subject could present as clean a
bill of health as any other one. That man
was Winfield Scott. General Scott was his
first choice for the presidency, and if he
should be the nominee of the Whig party,
he had little fear of the result,
how hard it was for him—without patron
age. without official influence—to get the
nomination against the power of the Ad
ministration, which wields in its support
the influence of one hundred thousand of
ficeholders and their friends, amounting
altogether to perhaps a half miliion of sup
porters. If the Administration should use
unscrupulously this power, it would be, he
knew, almost impossible to obtain a nomi
nation against it. But he knew that the
Slave law as it had passed; and whether, if
elected, he would execute it as it had been
executed by the present President; and
whether he would oppose all efforts or at
tempts to repeal or modify it ?
Mr. Mangum said that he had had no
conversation with General Scott on the
subject of the Compromise since the time
when the Omnibus was pending. He was
not authorized to say that General Scott ap-
He *lTnew P roved °f ad t ^ ie features of all the several
acts comprising the Compromise.
Mr. Gwin said the answer was just what
he expected. The gentleman was not au
thorized to say that General Scott would
execute the Fugitive Slave law as it had
been executed by the President; nor that he
would oppose its repeal or modification.
Mr. Mangum said that no President could
be elected who, without becoming perjured
could refuse io execute all the laws of the
United States. If General Scott should
resentitives; and the business of of Gov
ernment sink in dignity to a low level.
This downward progress has been going
on for some time past. The country takes
note of it. How it is to be remied we do not
profess to know—perhaps the evil, by the
manifestation of its own enmity, will after a
while cure itself. There teems to be no oth
er gronnd of hope.
The Whig Cancas in Washing
ton.
The Baltimore Sun of Wednesday has a
full telegraph account of the Camus pro
ceedings. A very exciting discussion took
place on the resolutions declaring the finality
oflhe Compromise. The caucus adjourned at
eleven o’clock at night. It was determined to
hold the Whig National Convention at Bal
timore on the 17th of June. The following
were the proceedings previous to the vote on
the Convention:
Mr. Marshall, of Kentucky, offered the res
olutions introduced by him at the first meet
ing of the Whig Caucus.
Mr. Stanly contended that they were
out of order, and the chairman sustained his
objection.
After a discussion, principally between
Messrs. Marshal and Sranly, the decision of
the chair was sustained--yeas 45, nays 18.
Mr. Marshal said as the chair had decided
the Compromise principle of the Whig ad
ministration out of order, the caucus was no
place for a Whig to remain and then with
drew.
The negative vote against the decision of
the chair were Southern men, except Stanly,
Morehead, McCullough, and two Kentuck
ians.
Among the affirmatives were Fowler,
Wade, Campbell, Sackett, Schoolcraft, and
others.
The attendance was rather thin, a num
ber of Southern members and some of Mr.
Webster’s friends being absent.

Fellow Citizens: I didn,t come here to
m ake a speech at this time, but only jest to
extinguish myself as a canidate, Gentlemen,
I am the floating canidate for the super
fluous district, and I onlv want to make
a few remarks at this time. A good many
ofycu, gentlemen, has never seen me before
and I merely want to state my views upon
the question to be agitated—Gent!men, I
was born in the county of Sullivan, and
fotched up in Knox, with our parentage;
and if it hadn’t been for the goodness of
God, and several other gentlemen, who
took me, when but an orphan boy of twen
ty-five years of age and gin me an edecation
I might have been as ignorent as the com
mon people or even you, gentlemen.
Gentlemen, my father was a patriarch of
the Revolution, and I am a patriarch, Gen-
men, ray father stained the walls of America
with his blood; and when Gen. Jackson kil
led the iujins, at Orleans, I waded up to my
knees in mud. Gentlemen Lamoposed tonul-
ification. Gentlemen, I would rather be a gal
ipot tlave, than be a nulifier. Gentlemen I
ha nt got time to give you my views now,
butl’llcallon you agin in a few days.
But, gentlemen, there is a sort of bigbugs
that is trying to put me down but I defy
’em, gentlemen, I hope to be delivered out
of the hands of my enemies as Moses was
delivered out of the bands of the bulrushed.
Gentlemen come across the square and take
something to drink, and we’ll git better ac

We closed our weekly review 7 of the market
on the 17th inst., under the influence of the
America's foreign advices to the 3rd, w'hich
checked the demand that had previously exis
ted here, and the sales effected being two light
to tell their influence on this market. We quo
ted Middling Fair at 8 1-4 cents.
On Saturday, the market opened with a good
inquiry, when holders again became stiff in
tlieir asking rates; and at the close of business,
we could perceive no difference in prices from
those paid previous to the receipt of the Amer
ica's accounts. The sales that day were 841
bales. On Monday, only a moderate demand
existed, which resulted in the sale of 535 bales
at former rates. On Tuesday, the market was
dull, with sales of only 481 bales. That eve
ning, we received four days later news from
Europe, by the Arctic, reporting the Liverpool
m f‘:et, ending the 7th, dull, with sales of 18,-
000 bales for the four days. Although these
accounts were somewhat unfavorable, the mar
ket opened, on Wednesday, with a brisk de
mand, and at the close of business, the sales
reached 1,395 bales, holders having realized on
all Cottons over fair fully an 1-8 to 1-4 ct. ad
vance'. On Thursday morning, three days la
ter accounts from Liverpool, by the Asia, were
published, which showed that the dullness in
the foreign market had increased, but the de
mand was too limited to test the transactions.
This news like the preceeding accounts, did
not interfere either with the firmness of hol
ders or check the demand, and the sales that
has reached 811 bales, at very full prices.
The market yesterday, (Friday) was inactive
there being few buyers in attendance; and, as
the demand was for the finer qualities, which
are scarce, the sales of the day reached only
85 bales, aiz: 8 at 7 1-4; 6 at 7 3-4; 10 at 7 7-8;
and 61 at 8 cents.
The foreign news by the three last steamers,
noting a decline in the Liverpool market, had
no influence here. On the contrary, in conse
quence of the light stock on sale, the market
has advanced during the past week, as will be
seen by the following quotations,

own sentiments and those of General Scott

He then pointed out the objections to

He alluded to the personal merits and
