thing we have ever seen, is the following,
extracted from the proceedings of the
Whig National Convention:
"Mr. Botts followed Mr. Anderson,
and rebuked Mr. Choate's allusion to
members having letters in their breeches'
pockets from a certain candidate, and
denied the existence of such letters.
The delegate from Florida said members
from Virginia had such letters. Mr.
Potts then read the letter referred to, in
which Scott says: 'I will write nothing
to the Convention or to any individual,
before the nomination: but should I be
nominated, I will, in my letter of accep-
tance, express myself as strongly in favor
of the Compromise as I did to you before.
Say the same to my friends, Botts, Jones
and others.' "
"Mr. Botts then read a resolution ap-
proved by Gen. Scott, in favor of the
Compromise, and in opposition to Slavery
agitation."
