f|ljm 0 f the friends of General Scott, to arrogantly
KUte to them what they shall do or not do iu Conven

Convention called? Was it for the silly purpose
attempting to heal the breach in the whig party and
restore its unity “ hich was lost by the more silly con
. „f such vvliigsas the Republican ? By no means.
W.vi tto ratifv the nomination of Webster and Jen
j Certainly not, because the call for the Scott
Contention tras made out and published two or three
tilt before the last Union Convention at Mtiledge
jj, had met , and the same length of time before the
Webster Supplemental had conceived the idea of a
Convention, on the 17th, one day in advance of the
tune appointed for the Scott Convention ! The Scott
Movement then had the precedence in point of time,
hough the Webster Convention anticipates that of
, iv! ; ~ne day, by u political strategy as mean as it is
contemptible.
pmkr these circumstances, are Scott men to be told
lint they must tcaire their right to nominate an elec
toral ticket, because it is the opinion of the sapient
republican that‘trt cannot possibly give the vote of
the Sate to Gen. Scott.’ Who expects the ‘ire’ of the
Republican or anti-Scott men to carry the State for
{jeottf Ceitainly.no such expectation lias been en.
kriained an) where else than in the brain of this Sa
vannah editor. And what is the reason why this cannot
be done? Why, simply because Webster Tertium
will not waive their senseless opposition to the
tegular nomination of their own party! In the opin
io, however, of the Republican, the Scott men, g<Kid
wv souls, (500 in number only in the State'.) can as
easiy support Webster and Jenkins as they can Scott,
llw regular candidate who alone can have any chance
us beating Gen. Pierce, and who is generally supported
bv Southern w higs in all the States, South, aud unani
mously, Georgia excepted ! We ean, however, tell the
Kepublieau, that the Scott men will not support Web
iter and Jenkins, under any probable circumstances or
l idition of things. They will not throw away their
votes on a third candidate. They are not aeuated by
the'ipoi/#,’ motive, as suggested by the Republican, or
idesire to ‘carry the Governor and Legislature and
senator next year,* and will spurn any such base and
ardid proposition with ineffable contempt. ‘Sufficient
DU tlieday is the evil thereof’ is our maxim, and next
ear’i elections may take care of themselves. It is
#ur present duty to aid in the election of Gen. Scott to
he Presidency. Wo would like to give him the rote
if Georgia, and can do it, if the doubting and imprac
ticable wliigs will give up their foolish 3d candidate
ehemeand come back to their duty as honorable men.
‘rom the tone and temper of the Republican’s article
mdother indications, we have little hope of any such
esult. The leaders of the Webster movement belong
o the'rule or ruin’ school, and to preserve their con
nstency in opposition to and committalism against Gen,
icott, would attempt to brow-beat and intimidate the
fiends of the old hero from the exercise of their right
o hold a Convention, unmolested and unintruded on
•)’ thuse of opposing views.
Lut we have no idea that the game will succeed.—
area were the coining Scott Convention to be broken
ip by outsiders, it would accomplish nothing for the
i'ebster cause. A portion of the people of Georgia
‘are resolved to east their suffrages for Gen. Scott, and
10 earthly power can now prevent them doing so! It
cre prudent, then, for those who come to Macon next
entertaining such views of the subject as have
lwu S' veD out by the Republican and other lights of
r.cu.ral and Webster Journalism, to dismiss all idea
strolling the action of the Scott Convention or
it in the anaconda jaws of Websterism, for
he thing cannot be done!
If, however, the Webster men will swear alligiance
! - ‘it and Graham, and pledge themselves to support
Sa k'wtoral Ticket for those gentlemen, they eu have
’ 1 tual door opened to them for aiding in bring! ig
u ‘ llu ‘ unity for which some people now affect so
much regard! But not otherwise, as we verily believe

Scott Meeting in Henry iounty.
McDonough Aug. 3, 1852.
Agreeably to previous notice a portion of the
whigs of Henry met in the Court House this
day, for the purpose of appointing delegates to
the Scott and Graham Convention to be held
in Macon on the 18th inst. to nominate a Scott
electoral ticket. The meeting was organized
by appointing Samuel li. Weems as Chairman
and David Knott, Secretary.
Ihe object of the meeting was then explain
ed by B. Pettit, after which lie introduced the fol
lowing preamble and resolutions:
Whereas, the whig party of Georgia, finds
itself at this junction, in a situation peculiar
and embarrsasing; our public Journals and
some of our leading men, to whom we have
been accustomed to look, as beacoD lights, have
abandoned us, the rank and file, to work out
our own salvation, as best we may.
Ihe Southern delegates to the late national
whig Convention, presented a series of Resolu
tions, containing the doctrines of the whigs of
the South, upon great national subjects now be
fore the people, and especially the finality of the
Compromise, aud that Convention did fully and
freely adopt these resolutions, as the whig plat
form of principles, in the North and West as
well as in the South, without inserting or with
drawing a single plank, but dedicated it in its
entirety, as it came from Southern hands, to
the whole country. The convention then, stand
ing upon this platform, erected by the South
aud consecrated by all, did opcnlv and fairly,
first by the vote of the majority and then by an
unanimous vote, nominate Gen, Winfield Scott,
is a candidate for the Presidency, and he hav
ing promptly placed himself erect upon that
platform, and by his letter of acceptance, hav
ing plainly and unequivocally, pledged himself
it elected, to adhere to aud sustain this plat
form of principles,
1 herufore, we the whigs of Henry county feel
bound by the plainest principles of political
honesty and of party association, to recognize
Winfield Scott, as the legitimate standard bear
er of the whig party ; and we place ourselves
by his side, upon the whig platform ; and will
sustain him, sis he has always sustained, not
only his political party, but his whole country,
in the darkness as well as the day time of its
fortune, with unflinching fidelity.
Millard Flltnore was our first choice; we
wished to support him, because he first sup
ported us; and because in the day of trial, he
sustained wise and patriotic resolves with Ro
man firmness.
Iu Daniel Webster we recognize a fellow
citizen who has always been the political advo
cate of the Union; who was and is a pillar of
support to our patriotic President, and whose
range of intellectual power, perhaps is unequall
ed among the living—unsurpassed among the
dead.
But Winfield Scott is the actual snd fairly
nominated candidate of the national whig con
vention, in which every Southern State was ful
ly represented; every objection that is now
urged against him, was as well known before, as
after the Southern went into convention with
the Northern whigs ; no new developements to
his prejudice, have been made; and if, under these
circumstances, we in the South refuse to sustain
him, we shall subject ourselves to the just charge
of Punic faith.
True it is, that certain whigs, who are called
frees>ih*rs support Scott, but it is equally true
that they supported Harrison, Clay and Tay
lor ; they are whigs and have always supported
the whig candidate. But whatever force may
be in this objection, it is equally strong against
Pierce, for all the freesoil democrats with Mar
tin Van Buren at their head support him.
It has been charged that Scott's nomination
was unfairly effected, but the charge is unsus
tained by any evidence! We have lately had
a delegate to the Baltimore Convention among
us, who voted for Fillmore from first to last, who
assures us that the nomination was perfectly lair.
And, moreover the Southern delegates ratified
the nomination by an unanimous vote, which
they would not have done, if it lnd been un
fairly obtained. A few dissatisfied whigs, who,
as we supposed, were as true to the whig cause
as the needle to the pole, have indulged them
selves in criticism us Scott’s letter ot acceptance;
we havecomparcd the criticism with tlie letter,
and are convinced that the ciitics themselves
are guilty of the very thing which they charge
upon him, that is to say, sophism to obscure his
real meaning. In that letter there is not a sen
tence, line or word, but may be understood by
any one of common sense ; ignorance cannot mis
understand it, ingenuity cannot successfully per
vert it.
Gen. Scott has a! ways been a whig; with con
stant devotion he has turned his face to the
whig sun, whether in a clear or clouded sky,
well may he refer to this ‘incident’ of his
life and ask us to receive it as a pledge that he
will not forsake that cause when in the ascend
ant, which he has constantly defended in ad
versity.
It is objected to Gen. Scott that he gave no
support to the Compromise measures, but it so
happens that few respectable merchants of this
county heard him make a speech in their fa
vor, in the city of New York, while they were
pending in Congress. And Mr. Hilliard, a mem
ber of Congress from Alabama, assures us that
on the day of their final passage lie heard Gen.
Scott express joy and gratification at the event.
Then whigs who object to Scott do not agree
as to their ground of objection ; one thinks that
he is so obstinate and head strong, that he will
be governed bv no man’s advice, another repre
sents the hero of many battles to be a mere
ninny, and that he will suffer a freesoiler to
lead him by the nose.
From these conflicting opinions we appeal to
history ; the unalterable records of our country
prove, that in conducting his campaigns in war,
or when acting as a pacificator on the Cana
dian frontier and in South Carolina, in every
public employment, in which lie lias been en- ;
gaged, lie hits been prudent, firm, far-seeing and
successful. I
These whigs who now lament that Scott suf
fered his name to be used in the Convention as
a candidate for nomination, by which Mr. I ill
more was defeated, notwithstanding their pre- |
sent distress at this event, in consideration of
which they cannot support Scott, in truth, nev
er intended to support Fillmore had he been
nominated, as is proven by the fact that they
were in favor of sending delegates to the demo
cratic Convention and of course of supporting
its nominee. Let those whigs who would cut
loose the great conservative whig party from its
ancient mooring, and attach it, as an appendage,
to the Cornet of democracy, to follow in its wan
derings over the world in search of adventures,
with Kossuth for its interpreter, an European
volcano for its centre of attraction let them go
in veace, but not drag other whigs after them
and thus like Lucifer convcit pure spirits into
fallen Angels.
We object to a third candidate it is an ob
scure idea—a barren thought; a hopeless expedi
ent. As well might we carve out a wooden image
of a man, and attempt to elevate it to the chief
magistracy,as to elect a third candidate. Men
will not unite for the vain purpose of attempt
ing an impracticability. If we support Scott,
we shall, at least, be in the line of duty, and pre
serve, Unbroken, the plighted faith of the South
lie was fairly nominated by a Convention, in
which the whigs of Georgia were represented;
had Mr. Fjllmore beea nominated we should
have called upon the friends of Gen. Scott to
support him in good faith; therefore ‘do ye
unto others that which ye would they should do
unto you.’
It is unreasonable to suppose, that a man
born, raised and educated in the South, and fa
miliar by association with Southern institutions
can be less true to the place of his birth and
the graves of his forefathers, than QD9 who is
alien in birth and breeding, and whose prejudic
es against slavery,is apart of his education.
Same ot those who object to Scott, are wil
ir.g, without any scruples to sacrifice Graham
—against whom no objections have been urged
they would exchange Scott for Pierce and Gra
ham for King, let us beware of such men ; lest
they be whigs in name and democrats in heart,
spies in the whig camp, seeking to deceive and
intending to betray.
We have heretofore heartily acted with the
Union democrats for the accomplishment of a
great and patriotic purpose; and sincerely desire
still to do so. by maintaining the integrity of
the Union party, as is proven by the Resolu
tion adopted by us at a former meeting in oppo
sition to standing delegates to either Convention
in Baltimore. But the Union democrats would
send delegates to their Convention, and declared
in favor of the nominees of that Convention
before it was known who the whigs might nomi
nate. ° a
lliey prefered a mar, almost unknown! who
did nothiug to secure the passage of the
compromise laws; of moderate capacitv ; of
doubtful fidelity to Southern rights ; who re
tired from Congress without leaving a mark
upon record of high talent, and who withdrew
from the army in Mexico, before the close of the
war with less honor, than that with which lie
entered it. The Union democrats prefered this
man to Millard Fillmore, notwithstanding his
pure, wise and patriotic administration of the
government, and the unquestioned fact that he
risked his political fortunes in defence of South
ern Rights; thus plainly showing that their
democratic feelings are stronger than their U
nion principles. They were not even willing
to run a ticket with a democrat on it for the
Presidency and a whig for the Vice Presiden
cy ; they would give the whigs no showing but
left us to the choice of maintaining the unity
and independence of the whig party ; or of
converting it into the new tail of the democrat
ic Kite. VY e must say then to the Union demo
crats that we hold them as we do the Fire-
Eaters,‘enemies in war, in peace friends.’ And
whereas, a Convention is to meet in the city of
Macon on the 18th day of this month, to nomi
nate Electors favorable to the election of Scott
and Grt i!mm, therefore,
Resolved—That we will send eight delegates to said Con
tion.

tions, which passed unanimously.

Graham, to the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the United
States.
Resolved —That the opinions of Gen. Pierce, as publicly

lished in the Whig Reveille, Georgia Citizen, American Union
and Chronicle and Sentinel.

Ist. Resolved, That we ratify the Nomination of
Gen. Winfield Scott for President and Wm. A. Gra
ham lor Vice President, and that we pledge ourselves
to thei support, and will use every fair aud honorable
means to elevate them to the same.
2d, That in Gen. Scott we recognize the accom
plished and undaunted Soldier, who for many years has
defendt and the flag of his couutry with the zeal of a
true patriot, the discretion of u wise commander, and
with an unremitting care for his brethren in arm 6.
3d, That in his frank, manly, and undisguised

vate him.

SCOTT UCCTIYO MARION CO.
Agreeably to a previous notice, the friends of Gen.
Winfield Scott and Win A. Graham, in Mar,on coun
ty met at the Court House and the meeting was or
ganized by calling William D- Elam, Esq. to the chair,
and Win. W. Shipp to act as Secretary. A motion
was then made that a committe of five be appointed
to report business lor the action of the meeting. The
Committee consisted of G. O. Davis, G. W. McDuffie,
John Campbell, Osbern Edwards and Stephen Luns
ford. The Committee having retired, reported the
following Preamble and Resolutions:
Whereas, The two National Conventions having
assembled and presented their standard hearers for the
ensuing campaigns; And believing us we do that it
is the duty of every citizen to exercise the right of suff
rage, a privilege dear to every freeman, we give our
hearty concurrence in the nomination of Gen. Win
field Scott and William A. Graham for President and
Y T ice President. It is true we would have preferred
another distinguished man us our standard bearer iu
this contest, hut we are not dictatorial and cheerfully
acquiesce iu the nomination of the APhig Convention.
We demanded as a matter precedent that they should
fully endorse the Compromise measures, this they have
done. They even went further and repudiated the
runioiis policy of intervention so skilfully propagated
by a distinguished Foreigner, and a doctrine as hateful
as runions to the South. Had the convention follow
ed the instructions strictly they coirid not have carried
more faithfully the demands we made. Having done
so we have no right to complain, and shall do as we
believe all good men and true should do, rally to their
standard. Therefore,
Resolved, That the distinguished service of Win
field Scott, both as a civilian and as a military leader,
recommend him to the support of the Whig parly as
one knowing no North, no South, but the interest and
welfare of the whole country.
Resolved, The known ability and distinguished ser
vicesof William A- Graham commend him to theen
thusiastic support of every whig as one whom they
delight to honor.
Resolved, That Osborn Edwards, William B. Black,
and G. O. Davis, be appointed delegates to the Con
vention, at Macon, the 18th of this inst., to select a
suitable electoral ticket for support of Scott, Graham
and our Country.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting he
published in the Georgia Citizen, and the delegates bo
empowered to fill vacancies.
WILLIAM I). ELAM, Chairman.
W. AV T . SHIPP, Secretary.
Scull ami Graham M’tiiig iu Houston.
A portion of the people of Houston county friendly
to the election of General Scott to the Presidency,
having met according to previous notice in perry on
the .‘ld inst. (Jn motion, David M. Brown was called
to the chair, and Peter S. Humphries requested to act
as Secretary.
General Warren then arose, and having briefly sta
ted the object of the meeting lobe to appoint delegates
to represent this County in the couvetiou to be held in
the city of Macon ou the 18th inst-, to nominate a Scott
and Graham Electoral Ticket, read the following Pre
amble and Resolutions.
‘The Presidential election soon to take place in the
United States has given rise to a diversity of opinion
and sentiment among the people ol ibis State altoge.
ther unusual on such occasions. So far as the Whig
party of Georgia is concerned, we see no need of that
diversity of opinion, and deeply regret its existence.
While Mr. Fillmore was their almost unanimouschoice
and whose nomination they most earnestly desired,
the Whig National Convention which lately convened
in Baltimore, nominated as a candidate for the distin
guished office of President of these United States,
General Winfield Scott, a man whose patriotism, whose
ardent love of country, no one will deny, and whose
great public services have secured to himself a liumaanil
a character which few men of any age or any coun
try have ever possessed, and which is not confined to
the limits of his own country which he has so long and
so ably served, but which is recognized and felt in all
civilized Na'ions. While at the same time he has by
his great deeds shed unfading lusfe upon his country
by faithfully and ably discharging every duty and trust
for the last forty odd years which his country has con
fided to him both of a Military and of a Civil charac
ter, a knowledge of which every true American citi
zen is gratified in knowing and acknowledging.
The convention which thus nominated Gen. Scott
before they made the nomination laid dpwn a platform
of principles including the subject of slavery and the
late Compromise measures of Congress on that sub
ject, that meets l lie approbation so laras this meeting
knows or believes of every whig iu the State of Geor
gia, which platform of principles, General Scott iu his
letter of aaeeptauce as fully adopts and agrees to as
Mr. Fillmore could have done if he had been the nomi
nee. He says, * I accept the nomination with the res
olutions annexed.,’ and ‘tiie political principles laid
DOWN IN THOSE RESOLUTIONS ARE SO BROAD THAT BUT
little is left for ms. to add.’ when again he says,
‘Finally for my strict adherence to the princi
ple® of the whig TARTY A8 ADOPTED IN TIIE RESOLU
TIONS, &.C., &.C. ‘I CAN OFFER Kff OTHER PLEDGE OR
GUARANTY THAN A LONG PUBLIC LIFE NOW UNDERGOING
tiie severest examination.’ Here is General Scott’*
pledge to carry out the principles of the party as ex
pressed by them ip those resolution? ‘annexed,’ and
who has ever doubted his honor or heard of his failing
to fulfil any pledge made by that long tried and faith
ful public servant. We can confide iu him and can
cheerfully support him and we think it is due to our
brother whigs of the Union to do so and especially as
we even lepresented in the convention of whigs which
nominated him and which convention laid down our
principles iu their platform and which he is pledged to
cariy out.
Therefore, Reselved, Ist. That we send Delegates
to the Whig Convention to meet in the city of Macon
on the 18th inst., for the purpose of nominating candi
dates for electors of Scott and Graham in this State
2d. That contrasting the candidates and platforms of
principles of the two great National parties now before
the country, we cannot hesitate to prefer Gen- Scott
audlhc platform of principles which he adopts, to Gen.
Pierce and the platform of principles which he adopts
and that in this we shall act upon a 8 strong considera
tions of duty to cur country.
3d. That while we cannot see any good that can
result to the country from the supporting of a third
candidate for the Presidency, and while we think that
the best interests of the country and our consistency
asa party and the peace aud tranquility of the whole
Union even outhe slavery as well as other important
political questions and principles, require of us to sup-
port General Scott, the regularly and fairly nominated
candidate of the greai conservative Whig party of the
l nion,yetwe do not have nor do we intend tu have
any quarrel with our friends who think that the kestin
terestsof the country will be moat promoted by bring
ing out and running such distinguished statesmen and
patriots as Fillmore. Webster, or Crittenden. We
doubt their policy not their patriotism. We doubt
then policy believing it wrong in principle as things
now exist and because we have no idea they can sue
eeed iu electing their favorites. Nor have we any
quarrel with our Union Democratic friends who may
differ with us, far from it. We have full confidence in
their patriotism and most reluctantly should we feel
constrained to act in opposition to them and to have
them act in opposition to us. Indeed we seek no dif
ferences with any but would that all should unite in
the support of the distinguished patriots, Scott and
Graham.’
General Warren th°n addressed the meeting on the
c’aitneof Gen- Scott to the confidence of the Ameri
can people, through his eminent public services and a
long and arduous life of duty, and then contrasted the
characters of Scott and Pierce in a very able manner.
Judge J. J. Scarborough being then called for, respond
ed to the call, in an address to the whigs by demonstra
ting that Gen. Scott should be supported by them—that
those who supported Scott in the Convention were by
a large majority conservative whigs and that Gen.
Scott carried more Northern conservative votes into
the Whig Convention than both Messrs. Fillmore and
Webster.
The Preamble and Resolutions were then adopted
unanimously.
On motion, a committe of five consisting of Messrs.
John Chastain, C- J. Staley, Win. I’lavre, Drs. Byant
and Holt we r e appointed to select suitable delegates to
represent this meeting in the Convention to be held in
Macon on the 18th. The Committee the fol
lowing names as such delegates: Gen. Eli Warren,
Judge Jas. J. Scarborough, Dr. Robt. C. Bryan, Joseph
Tooke, Gilbert Powell, David M. Brown, Christian J.
Staley and Joseph W. Wimberly, which report was
adopted.
Farther Resolved, That the proceedings of this
meeting be published in the Georgia Citizen, and that
the whig papers in this State be requested to copy,—
The inoetiug then adjourned.

North Carolina.— This State ha* elected Reid,
(Dem.) Governor, by a small majority. The Whigs
have gained three, and will have a majority in the
Commons. In 1848 the democracy triumphed in that
State, but old Zach got about 8,000 majority in No
vember of same year. As it was then, so will it be
in November 1852.
The Electoral Ticket.
We beg leave to make a suggestion as to the Elec
toral Ticket, which the Scott Convention may think
it necessary to seleot. The two Electors for the State
at large excepted, every man placed on the Electoral
Ticket, either as Principal or Alternate, should be, if
possible, both able and willing to take the field and
address the people every where. The people sadly
want light, *ud it is only in the way suggested and
by the press, that they can obtain the necessary in
formation. Circulate the Documents and talk to the
people, on every proper occasion, and the result will
be all that could reasonably be expected.
