Ti euqiricg iniuds lew things are mote interesting than lo trace the evolutions that politicians sometimes nuke iu their career.

This is peculiarly applica ble respecting the recent course our Whig Representative has deemed proper lo pursue, iu regard to the nomination of Gen. Scott by the Wbig National Con. tention. Thar Convention was mada up tbe concentrated intelligence of ihe United States. Men, who understood the political pulsation ofthe couutry, as well as a physician doe's that of a patient.

A platform of principles was adopted' betore he candidate was selected embodying a series of resolutions upon ibe subject ul the compromise superior to those embraced by the Democratic party, aud inbnuely superior lo anything the Southern delega. lion expected, or demanded. Now, what does Mr. Cabell mean by his recent erratic course particularly in the letter written to a inembwr of the recent Whig State Convention, wheieiu it is asserted be kUI ttot suyfort" the Whig nominee (Geu. Scott) tor the presi dency I 1 J.

it withio. tha jtruioaLhujuau probability thai Geo. Scott," if elected, will enact the Tyler game, and prove re- creant to the principles of his election? thereby sully au illustrious reputation that. looms out in bold relief in ihe history ol our country for patriotism, unsullied honor, and integrity. What will Mr.

Cabell do- where will be go how can he dl'nd bis position before tbe Natiwiial Whig party ofl'loiida. The feeling is almost unanimous in thi, section of the State, that if elected dent, Gen. Scott will not allow the phren lied touch ot free soil demagogues to in fringe upon the sacreduess ot the Com promise. But in the very face ol the pi inciples adopted by tbe Baltimore Con ventiun, and accepted ly joii. Scott- as forming tho basis of his election, Mr.

Ca makes the flimsy assertion he. fears tTiattirr-Tefejafl soldier, ha Is acclir tomed to cmiimmid and lead" olhtrs, will be governed and led by such men -at Sewar'd. Gen. Scott was identified with the. history of hia country lotight lor the perm, nency of the Union-elevated the nation's character throughout the world, long be.

fore Mr. Seward was released from his swaddling bands. We would rather go it blind f.r the llro of Lundy's Lane htn advocate the flection of that microsi-opic character that renowned fainting hero, Gen. Pi-rce who only smelt gunpowder as it was waf-led by the breeze from tbe distant field of battle. But Geo.

Pierce is not the immaculate statesman "the Noithem man with Southern principles" usually represented, nor free from the contaminating influences of Abolitionism as is evinced by the following extract "Gen. Pierce, whilst delivering a speech al New Boston on I ho second day of January last, was interrupted by Ihe question: Do you regard ihe' features of the lugilive slave law as Consistent ilb common law." lo which G-n. Pierce replied If I must answer that question, I say no, I do not. have bren asked if I like this fugitive slave law; I answered no, I loathed it. I have a most rcv.rftine feeling utthe giving up of a slave the law is opposed to humanity.

Gen. Pierce as then asked, if it was not opposed to right as well as humanity." Ho an swered Yes il is oonosr.d ta mml rhht." 1 1 I be above account of Gen- Pierce's speech it laker Irom ihe Washington' Republic, which paper take it Irom the IndepeAdent Democrat, published at Con cord, N. IL, Ibe residence, I believe, of Uen. Fierce. We hope Mr.

Cabell will review bis position, and eventually give full sway to his affection for the tupremacy of Whig principles; disinthral himself from the in fluence of such men as Toombs, and Stc-pheus, ofGeorgia, who have their own peculiar, selfish motives iu resisting Gei We want auotli.r Whig President, and we want to Cabell returned again to Congrett at a consistent Whig Repre. tentative from thi State; but ardently as wo have heretofore supported him, we must proclaim in all cand ir, that the Whigs of West Florid will not rally on hiu. in his present position. He iri.7 gam a single Democratic vote in thus iso- lating himself from bis pany on the con-irary, sufficient number of Whigs will withdraw from him to guarantee the elec lion of hit oppoiieut. In what tingular category do we find him, and into what bad company hat he Gor.
