wHYJUDGEMLEAN WAS NOT NOMINATED.

WHYJUDGE MLEAN WAS NOT NOMINATED.
The two or three Quondans " fractional Wings"
about here, who show their past sincerity by sup
porting Van Buren, now, have great deal to say
about what they could have done if John NrLean
could have been the candidate or" was never
more serious obstacle to a promising speculation,
than in this case John MLean, indeed!
The following is the letter which the Buffalo
Convention thought had better not be read" 1t
speaks for itself
COLUMBUS, July rs, 1S4S.
Gentlemen: have delayed an answer to
your communication of the l1th inst, that |
might have time for mature reflection This
was due to you, to myself, to the subject, and
perhaps TO the country. | have endeavored
to consider the matter in all its aspects and
consequences.
The great and exciting question Of Slavery
extension, in the judicial form it has assumed
by the act Of the Senate, as it bears upon my
position on the bench; the use of my name in
the present canvass, and the rejection of it
by the Ohio delegation to the National Con-
vention; the relation which Mr. Van Buren,
maintains to the public; have all been dc.
ilbcIatcIy COHSlucltu, anu 1 am Drought ~
the conclusion that | ought not to go before
the Buffalo Convention as a candidate for the
Presidency. l feel deeply and gratefully the
honor you have done me by the expression of
your kindness and confidence, in connection
with that high Office.
Resting upon the principles of the Consi-
tuition, as they have been judicially settled,
the free States, by MODERATION, vigil
lance and frmness, may prevent the extern
sion OF Slavery to the free territory lately
annexed. Without the sanction of law
Slavery can no more exist in a territory
than man can breathe without air. Slaves
are not property where they arc not made
so by the municipal law. The Legislature of
a Territory can exercise no power which is
not conferred on it by act of Congress.
With the highest respect,
lam, gratefully, your obt serv't,
JOHN MCLEAN.

our noble freemen, than the heavy obstacle

always belonged, and our young paper be-
longs as it always will belong, to the same
great party which for generations, yea ages
past, has arraycd itself against tyranny on the
one hand and factious radicalism on the 9th
err; and which now for twenty years, under
its glorious and ancient name of WING, has
withstood in our own land the combined ex-
tremes of fanaticism, of every kind and from
every quarter,
We have purposely chosen our place among
people whose tastes and feelings we know to
be identical with ours in this matter Our

the name of WIIIG-and so, thank God, do
we They love the UNION of these States,

Reception ofGen. Scott.

Yesterday morning, committees from the different
Municipality Councils, met in the Office of Mayor
Crossman in order to take into consideration, ap-
propriate measures for the reception of MajorGen-
eral Winfield Scott. The following delegates were
in attendance
First .Muneipqliv Messrs. Giquel. Mcneil, Duncan
Second Observation-Disclosures. Peters, Renshaw, Stockton
Third neutrality-suspicious. Sooman, Flanders, Jones'
After some little discussion, of which patriotism
was the chief Ingredient, the following sub-conl-
mittees were appointed:
Committee of Reception, Hotel and Music essrs
Samuel j. Peters. E. Gique and J. Soloman.
Committee on the IrtMmphial frch Firing Of Cannon
Steamboat, &c.-Messrs Isaac F. Stockton Dr. Mcneil and
J. Duncan.
Committee on the Complimentary Dinner-Messrs. Rem
shaw, b. F. Flanders and G. Barthe.
The committee resolved to abide by the same re-
solutions that were adopted on the occasion of the
reception of Gen. Taylor. The utmost unanimity
prevailed, and each one of the committee seemed to
endeavor to outvie each other in paying honor to
the great captain. Gen. Scott is expected to arrive
on the United States steamship Massachusetts,, and
may be looked for hourly. The Massachusetts, was
detained for this purpose at Vera Cruz since the 18th
instant The hands of freemen will bind as green
a wreath of laurel upon the brow of Winfield Scott,
ever decked the temples of a warrior.

CAPT. SHANNON AND THE BRIG BARBARA
Unsatisfactory.-lt will be remembered that the
survivors Of the British brig Barbara wrecked on
Newfoundland, reported that Capt. Shannon of the
Hibernia refused to render them any assistance,
water, etc. Capt. S. reported, on his arrival at
Liverpool" Spoke, March 2, lat, 49, lon. 3d. Bar
bara, of and for Halifax; short of water and,
owing to heavy gale, unable to supply her. -
This is unsatisfactory enough; and we hope the
northern editors will not allow Shannon to get off
in such an easy way. Some of these English cap
tans imagine themselves beyond all responsibility
to humanity or the public.

liberated, and conveyed to prison.

The yesterday, over this Course, was one
of great interest and sharp contest, although not of
the quickest time. There were seven entries named
in the bill, but in consequence of mistake re-
fering to the entrance of Blangy, she did not come
upon the track. The day was fine, and the Course
in the best possible condtiOntherefore much better
time was anticipated than made.
| Mary Bowen was the favorite against any named
nag, and in conjunction with Jack Prior, had the
call against the field. The attendance was good
but not large. and the old'uns were right for once
| The start was bad-very bad Jack Pryor being
his distance behind at the start. Mss Hamilton got
the lead, and won the heat in Isl. The betting
did not change, however, for Jack Pryor run close
second, and no one had reason to believe that the
contesting nags for the first heat stood any chance

better Sally RiddleUOrh running for and winning

fourth in this heat which being the third, and the
horse not being winner of either, he was shut out
the game. At the CALL the three came the scratch
in good plight-the betting being two to one on
