’ Manifesto of the Malcontents.
Washington, July 3, 1852
To prevent all mistake and misappre
hension, we, the undersigned Members of
Congress, adopt this method of making a
joint statement to our constituents, re
spectively, and to all who may take an
interest in (lie subject, that we cannot
and will not support Gen. Scott for the
Presidency, as he now stands before the
American People, for the fallowing a
moßgst other reasons :
Obstinately refused, up to the lime of
his nomination, to give any public opin
ion in favor of that serious of measures of
the last Congress know n as the compro
mise ; the permanent maintenance of
which with us is a question of paramount
importance. Nor has he since bis nomi
nation made any declaration o r bis ap
proval of those measures as a final adjust
ment of the issues in contioversy.
It is true the resolutions of the Con--
yention that nominated him are as clear
and as explicit upon this qtiesiion as need
be ; but Gen. Scott, m his letter of ac
ceptance, w hich contains all that we have
from him on that matter, does not give
them the approval of his judgment.—
This'lie seems studiously to have avoid
ed. He accepts the nomination * with
the resolutions annexed.’ That is, he
takes the nomination cum onere, as an in
dividual takes an estate, with whatever
incumbrances it may be loaded with—
And the only pledge and guaranty he
offers his ‘adherence to the principles of
the resolutions’ are ‘the known inci
dents of a long public life,’ Sic.
Amongst these‘known incidents’ of
bis lile there is not one, so far as we are
aware of, in favor of the principles of the
compromise. In one, at least, of his pub
lic letters he has expressed sentiments in
imical in the institutions of fifteen Slates
of the Union. Since the passage of the
compromise he has suffered his name to
be held up before the people of several of
the States as a candidate for the Presi
dency by the open and avowed enemies
of those measures. And in the Conven
tion that conferred this nomination upon
him Ije permitted himself to be used by
the Freesoilers in thot body to defeat Mr.
Fillmore and Mr. Webster, because of
their advocacy of these measures and
their firm adherence to the policy that
sustained them.
To join in such men. and aid them
completing their triumph over, and sac
rifice of, the true and tried friends of the
constitution and the faithful discharge of
all its obligations, is what we ran never
do. The dictates of duty and prtriotism
sternly forbid it.
We considers Gen. Scott os the favor
ite candidate of the Free Soil wing of
(lie Whig party. That his policy, if he
should he electe’d, would be warped and
shaped to their-views, and to elevate
them to power in the administration of
the Government, can but be considered
as a legiiimate and probable result.—
And, believing as we do, that the views
of that faction of mischevious men are
dangerous not only to the just and con
stitutional rights of the Southern States
(which we represent in part,) but to tl e
permanent union of the States, we regard
it as the highest duty of the well-wishers,
of the country everywhere, whatever else
they may do, to at least withhold from
him their support. This we intend to
do.

For reasons to some extent indicated
in speeches and and addresses heretofore
made by the undersigned, they deem it
to be their duty to w ithhold their support
from Gen. Scott as a candidate for the
Presidency. Ifit should seem to be ne
cessary, we will hereafter, in some form,
exibit more fully to our constituents the
facts and reasons which have brought usi
to this determination. jr

C. H.’WILLI \MS, r IYl.n.
(£7* Mr. Webster, on his way to his
farm in Franklin, N. H., passed through
Concord on Monday, and met with a most
enthusiastic reception, to which he feel
ingly responded. Among those who met
•him at (lie Depot, was Gen. Franklin
Pierce, who, at the lime, was about start
ing for the lake, in company with a few
friends.
OUR COUNTRY'S GOOD IS OURS.
(£7“ A Washington letter says :
if little is doing inside of the House, a
a great deal is going on outside. The
unaccountable quietude of the masses
everywhere about the Presidential dec
lior. (with the exception of the Free-Soil
ers, who alone Seem fully awake) gravels
the politicians sorely —but the distracted
condition of both parties gravels them
worse. The Whig party, it is now
is split in half. The South won’t stand
Scott. The Northern Free Soders are
divided; some will and some won’t;
while the separate Union or Webster
movement, backed bv the Native Ameri
cans, corkscrews right into the heart of
the party.
Tiie Southcrn schismatics trouble them
—so do the Northern. ‘Fite Democratic
parly looks more harmonious ; but it is
not much more so. Several prominent
Free-Soilers have already bolted, und
more will. Massachusetts and Ohio will
probably go Free-soil, in conseqence of
the desertion of Chase, Sumner, Hale,
and others.
The Boston Gimmonweallh (abolition)
has the following characteristic piece ol
blnck-gnardism upon. Mr. Webster’s re*
cepiion in that city :
Two banners, a correspondent tliinks,
were wanting to complete the show ,of
yesterday. On one should have been
painted a criminal on the gallows : mot
to— ‘An African slave-hunter bung as a
pirate.’ The other, floating over the
head of the distinguished guest, should
have borne the wor.ds— ‘ A Massachusetts
slave, hunter—honored os a patriot by
tlie Whigs of Massachusetts.’
(£7* The Courier and Enquirer says
,ol the manifesto'of the Southern Whigs
at Washington:
It is understood, and we believe cor
rectly so, that certain Whig members
from three other Slates, Florida, North
Carolina and Kentucky, are about to
make public a similar determination, so
that in fact an emphatic voice of repudia
tion of the Baltimore nominee has, or
straightway will, come from every slave
holding Slate having a single Whig
member in Congress, excepting Mary
land, Louisana and Missouri. Such a
defection in the most exposed wing of the
Whig/party is a misfortune and one to be
plainly understood and seriously, consid
ered.
The Courier regrets all this, and thinks
that Scott should be supported.
(£7* The Native American Conven*
lion, at Trenton, wound up their proceed
ings by nominating Mr. Webster for
President, and Mr. Washington, of Vir
ginia, lor Vice President. Mr. Webster
received 27 votes for President, and Mr.
Washington 28 votes for Vice President.
There were only four dissenting votes
to this action, w hich, however, were not
finally reached until there bad been
12 ballotings and a majority of the dele
gates had withdrawn. There was great
confusion and quarreling before the bolt
ing and nomination.
Rev. C. W. Denson, editor of the
Boston Webster paper, then ndvofated
the resolution recommending Mr. Web
ster for President, not so auidi as a na
tive American, but as a Union man. He
said no one had any tight to say Mr.
Webster would decline. He believed
that if any considerable number of the
people would nominate him, he would re
spond to the nomination.
Daniel Webster in the Field.
Mr. Webster having been nominated
by the Boston discontents, and by the
Native Americans, the Scott organs in
New York are evidently apprehensive
that he will be a candidate for the Presi*
dency. 7ftlie Union party, w hose dele
gates assemble at Milledgeville on Thurs
day next, should lake him up as their
choice, lie would perhaps feel constrained
to yield to the reiterated demands of his
fellow citizens. The Tribune, in the
uftragrnph with the above caption, illy
disguises its fears of the effects of his can
didacy upon the fortunes of Gen. Scott
The editor thus announces Mr. Webster’s
reported acceptance of the Native Amer
ican Nomination:
Daniel Webster in the Field. —
We learn from reliable sources that Mr.
Webster, while passing through Phila
delphia yesterday, is understood to have
distinctly accepted the Native American
Nomination for President, saying to bis
querists: “Gentlemen, 7 will stand the
fire.’ Whether the Honorable gentle-
man was really serious, or playing off"one
ol those Titanic jokes of w hich lie is at
very remote periods guilty, we are not
prepared to sav. The grand reception
in preparation for him at Boston will un
doubtedly draw him out, and then the
wjll be delivered from (lie anx
iety which must ever attach to any move
ment in which the Secretary may he even
by implication engaged. Let all possess
their souls in patience.
The Native American National Con
vention..—7t appears that previous to the
nomination of Messrs. Webster and
Washington, by this body, a portion of
the members, beaded by Dr. Reynold
Coates, who opposed a change of the
party, withdrew from the hall. Those
who remained, it is sitid were tinder the
lead of Mr. Le vin, who looks to a union
with the Southern Union party. Only
31 votes were thrown when the ballot took
place, and of these Mr. Webster received
27 votes.
‘ JuNIL’S,’ the Washinton Correspond
ent of the Pittsburgh Gazelle, says:
* 1 have information upon which 1 re
ly, that Gen.-Scott acquiesces in the
platform, but docs not consider that it
settles anything, or that it is obligatory
upon those members of the party whose
consciences does not approve of it. This
opinion ol the Whig candidate is of the
utmost importance, and may form a bridge
over which the opponents of that pro
slaverv fanaticism which foisted the eighth
resolution into the series, may march to
the aid of Gen. Scott. Jftliey can be in
this or any other way reconciled, all
doubt of Gen. Scott’s success by an over
whelming majority is removed.’
The Military Trio.
Since a certain great event, dial re
cently happened in the city of Baltimore,
it has become a matter of doti bt and dis
putation as to which of the three Biign
dieis, appointed about the same time,
performed the greatest prodigies of gen
eralship in the Mexican war, Pierce fell
twice from his horse, and was sorely
wounded against his mother earth ; Pil
low superintended the digging of a ditch
and threw up the embankment on the
wrong side ; Cushing, walking round
with some ol the tawny fair sex of the tow n
where he was quartered, fell into a gully
and broke his leg. All of these un
regarded as exploits which indicate a
high order of. military genius, and
as proof, sufficient to convince the
most sceptical that their authors are
the very kind of men out of which il
histrions generals and distinguished
statesmen are manufactured. As to the
merits of their respective performances
we are not very competent to decide, nev
er having been thoroughly trained in the
military art; we incline however, to give
preference to the equestrian evolutions,
and after those to the unscientific break
ing o ( tbe leg. We do not candidly
think that the manner of dragging die
ditch is justified by any of tbe prece
dents furnished at the siege of Corinth or
at ill** battle of Waterloo, It is solitary
and alone in the history of martial deeds
and military defences. ILiug however a
little in die ‘ fog,’ we should like lo
have the opinion of others, more familiar
with war, on this important controver
sy- ;
The Webster Nomination.
Whatever may be die dt-iei minaiion of
Mr. Webster with respect to this move
men!, it is manifestly acquiring popularity
at the North. The association of bis
name, says the Baltimore Sun, with that
of Mr. Washington, anil the presentation
of the same unostentatiously to the Amer
ican people, has about it that simplicity
and spontaneity which never fails id com
mand the approbation of a large potion ol
tbe public ; and especially of dint class
unwedded to party, which is always to
be found more or less untrammelled in
spirit in every community. We do not
expect Mr. Webster will approve tliepro
reeding, thougli apart Irom the arbitary
code of the convention system, a proper
respect for the popular will, would forbid
him to reject a popular nomination.
There are thousands and thousands of
men allover the country, who want the
opportunity to throw n vote, either fur
Daniel Webster or Mr. Fillmore, and
who very unwillingly surrender the right
to do so ; at the same time entertaining
no disrespect for Gen. Scott, nor any
question ns to his trnnscedant military
talents. But free action is what people
twany under a free government; and the

neither honesty nor judgment can ap

The following communication, would
have-been earlier inserted in our columns,
but for the fact that onr number of the
Recorder containing it either did not
come to hand, or was misplaced and
lost :
[From the Milledgeville Recorder .]
Presidential Election.
Messrs. Grieve fy Orme As this is
the first time In my life that I have ever
directly meddled with the Presidential
election, I hope no one will accuse me
either ol ofliciousness or of a departure
from my ministerial duty. Though a
minister of the Gospel of Peace, 1 am
still a citizen of this great republic, and
feel myself deeply interested in two of my
difficulties before my countrymen.
As it regards Gen. Scott, enough has
been said by some of our fiiithfut rep
resentatives in Congress and by leading
men and papers of his party. It only
remains for me to say, that f !i'> pe no
Southern man will ally himself to any in
strument of the Seward Whig party.
That General Scott is their nominee, is
indisputably clenr ; and the measured
manner in which he alludes to the great
Southern principles, as prox iJed for in
the Whig platform, is too shspectious for
my use. There is 100 much evidence of
catering. The South may always know,
when she hears a man refering calmly and
calculatingly lo his obligation lo die
higher law policy, that lie’ll not do fora
Southern President ; nor will any man
do who sympathises with him. Gen.
Scott is in bail company. It may be
only his misfortune. But be this ns it
may, we can only act upon the showing.
My position in society made it my duty
for many years lo watch against ab
olitmnism, os it was always seeking to
encroach upon Southern lights. The
result of my observation and experience
is, that the South cannot and ought not
to trust any man who is an abolitionist.
7l is an nllcontrolling evil—a genius dial
can smile at the desolation ol every dearer
interest of the country, if this one petted
notion can be urged on.
The oilier dreaded evil of our age is
the well known doctrine of intervention.
The platform adopted by the Whig Con
vention was clear and strong upon this
point ; but dial adopted by the Dem
ocratic Convention was from the begin
ning 100 non-committal for my notion.
Any thing on n subject like that, which
ntay become a national notion—which
may be stealthily insinuated into an Ad
ministration, ought to be openly avowed.
Ail measured and guarded phraseology
on such topics is highly displeasing to
me. 7 was silent, and silently thought 1
would vole for Gen. Pierce as being
much less incumbered with difficulties
under the circumstances than General
Scott. But as soon as those resolutions
passed and published by a body of Kos
suth's parosiies came out, in which tlipy
called upon all who sympathised with
them to vote for Pierce, on the ground
the platform lie was placed upon had not
denounced it in terms, but left it ns they
understood it, an open question, l halted,
and here I still halt. General Pierce can
nc! himself right on this question, and 1 hope will.
My fears are quite against Gen. Scott
on this subject. I am a non-interventionist
in a very high degree. I will not vole
for any man who leaves a margin for doubt
Inrge enough lo write intervention from
principles upon.
I am glad that the Union Convention
is about to meet in M illedgeville in a few
days. 7 may only say it for myself. 1
wiil not interfere with Georgia’s politics
any further than my own personal rights
go. I xvant n third ticket —a name
around which lower doubts cluster, and
clear Southern light shines. For myself,
I desired the nomination of the present
incumbent, not because lie only stood
prominent in his class of patriots, but be
cause he was a tried innn—because I
bulk upon him ns a model President—
the country’s President—noiseless, firm,
fearless, self sacrificing'—planted on the
Constitution, (lie human rock of our
salvation.
