M f [From the National Intelligencer.] ’ 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. ALEX. H. STEPHENS. ofGa. CHASJAS. FAULKNER, ofVn. W. HHOOKE.of Miss. ALEX. WH/TE, of Ala. JAMES ABERCROMBIE, of Ala. ROBERT TOOMBS, ofGa. JAMES JOHNSON, ofGa. 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 M. P. GENTRY, TenifY 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 TERMS: $2 in Advance. begin lo writhe under a system which exacts the constant sacrifice of their perv sonal preferences, and toncessions which neither honesty nor judgment can ap prove. 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. L. PIERCE. Savannah, July 9, 1852. The Webster movement is every where rapidly advancing and it is now certain that he will ot least have a chance of election in the House of Representatives. NO 14
