I never conve with Gen. Houston in my life touching his chanees for the Presidency, and never promised him to support him for that office or anes other in any event whatever. During my stay in Washington, I sometimes con- versed with acquaintances toushing the next Pre- sidential contest, and lL remember to have objected earnestly to the movements which were in progress to concentrate the white, voice of this poultry upon Gen.

I haveserved un- der his command in the field; I have associated with him in the domestic circle; I have received, at various periods, marks of his friendly consideration for me, and | acknowledge personal obligations therefor. So fur from feeling hostility, I have al- ways esteemed him as my friend. But other consi- derations than private regard dictate any pausical action. 1 believe that the harmony of States and the preservation of the Union essentially de- |g upon the faithful observance of the acts of the rst session of the thirty-first Congress, known as “the Compromise measures,” and I have said, under = signature, that I could not support any one for ice unless he will stand by those measures, and by the best exertion of his abilit as it now stands. I do not know affected towards those measures. Is Gen. Scott in favor of maintaining or repealing the Fugitive Slave law of the last Congress? Whi can express his opinion in reply to this question? To satisfy me, his opinion must be eaphoit'y made known—not merel, oe the Pugieake ve law, but on a variety of other topics. will you deem this solicitude ovo, le, since we see the most active individuals m heralding (ren.
