Candidates Whig Nominee Edward Carrington Cabell, incumbent U.S. representative Democratic Nominee Augustus Maxwell, former state senator and former Florida Attorney General Campaign Despite a very popular tenure as a compromise candidate, by 1852, Cabell became very unpopular among Democrats in Florida after a number of smear campaigns accused him of supporting abolitionism. In reality, Cabell was one of Congress' biggest supporters of slavery, and was one of the spearheads behind the Compromise of 1850. Cabell also refused to support the Whig candidate for president, General Winfield Scott, as Scott was perceived to be a trojan horse for abolitionism among many Southern Whigs, most of whom supported President Millard Fillmore at the 1852 Whig National Convention.Holt Michael F. https://books.google.com/books?id=_KhoAgAAQBAJ The Rise and Fall of the American Whig Party: Jacksonian Politics and the Onset of the Civil War 1999-06-17 Oxford University Press 978-0-19-977203-2 en Cabell opted instead to support the Democratic candidate, former New Hampshire Senator Franklin Pierce, drawing the ire of many staunch Whig supporters in Pensacola.1852-07-31 Mr. Cabell and the Whig State Convention 2 Pensacola Gazette https://www.newspapers.com/clip/61296297/mr-cabell-and-the-whig-state-convention/ 2020-10-171852-09-11 Hon.
