The nomina ton of Gen Winfield Scott by the Wings
Of Pennsylvania for the Presidency, following the al
most simultaneous action Of the Wkig Convention in
Ohio is important move, and in estimation, en-

New York and New Jersey will act, and all New
England will follow Webster has sufficient force
in Massachusetts Fillmore in New York to prevent
these States going for Scott In the National Convel

Mr. Fillmore is to be LEI dewn with faint praise and the
God-like is to be strangled outright This is the Wing

platform is broad and comprehensive Strict adherence
to the Constitution is all that the South asks Seward

Dawson, and Bell and Clay ask amendment to that
sacred instrument Seward, aided by higher law,
leaps over every obstruction and is perfectly conened
Johnston, the nominee Of the Wings in Pennsylvania,
is free soer-secured his election two years ago
