Gcnes II scott.

II !. still the decided opinion and the WISH OF
uanv OF the leading politicians of this city and
.t.te that General Scott may bs the candidate Of the
Wing party, nominated at the National Convention.
Fer our own part have We little doubt but that
he win be the candidate. TIVE or three gentlemen,
Who are presumed to be thoroughly conversant with
the tone Of feeling amongst the mass OF voters IN
the river and western counties Of TINS STATE arrvedn
town Yesterday, after close and systematic canvass
They mention several states that will give Scott
maority il he is run, but will 60 for Van Buren, if
Clav i, the candidate. We will give an instance !:
vlster county will give Gen. Scott majority Of
from $500 to 3OOo il he is the candidate but if the
Convention dominates Mr.. Clay, the state will go for
Van Buren,. ftku
The simple fact Of the matter is this, and the ras
caly, lying, cheating politicians may well say So
ard come to the point at Henry Clay has no
strength in this state and if certain clique deter
mine to run him in opposition to the wishes and feel
ings of the great Of the whg party, they will
break down. The emily available candidate is Gen.
Scots il the wings cannot succeed with1 him, they
can succeed with no But there is certain
contingency TO be provided against; these persons
suo are to be the members Of the National Conven-
tion have made up their minds in this wise: II the
State of New York goes for Mr.. Van Buren, this fall
General Sect is the candidate at the Convention;
and If il goes for the whg party still General Scott
stands an equal chance with Mr.. Clay to receive
nomination. And If those wings who have bargained
for Offices in the event Of Mr.. Clays election, can
make equally good bargains with General Scott, IN
the Of his election then General Scott will be
the candidate for the Presidency under any and every
circumstance. So is the shuttlecock OF power
banded about from battledore to battedore! Thus
are the strings pulled to work the political machine
and thus the world away!
STATE OF EXCHANGES ON EUROPE IN Re LIGIoys
MArrERs-TaEMENDoUs REMITTANCE or PIErY.
We have for some time past asserted, that some.
thing extraordinary would result from the late tire
mendous revvals in religion and piety going all
over this country; and now We have strong fact
to name in proof Of the truth Of assertion. The
packet ship Oxford, which sailed yesterday for
Europe had board less than nine Of those pisus
and presty young ladies called "nuns." Nine nuns
shipped for Europe in enc day they were all from
Pitlsburg, bound to Antwerp, and each went by the
name Of Sister Mary. This is singular state of
things and shows the condition Of the balance
oftrade between this country and Europe in regard
to religion; and also proves that the supply Of pous
sisters here, since the great Camp Meetings, is
greater than the demand Tor them.
