Parson Brownlow on Scott in Whig Nomination Fight
A dramatic report from the Whig convention describes a six day balloting struggle over Winfield Scott as the Whig candidate. The writer accuses abolitionists led by William H. Seward of manipulating delegates and claims the South will punish the party, while urging Pierce and King to win. Flatly denounces the party’s integrity and hints at northern disenchantment.
