As is well known, the whig State Conven-
ton held here on the Sd inst. s:Iubbed the
present administration with mplimentnoI
more expressive or pointed, than the Wings
of a township might pass upon justice of
the Peace. Here is the generous ayowal off
appreciation uttered by that Convention:
Resoleed, That the National Administra-
ton, under the guidance of our Wing Presi-
dent Millard Fillmore, has the unbOunded
confidence of the Wings of Ohio; that in our
domestic policy, its manly advocacy of Pro
lection to Native Industry, the Improvement
of Rivers and Harbors, the Reduction of Pos
tage the Strict Accountability and Economy
of Public officers, its energetic, republican,
truthful and dignifed management of our
Foreign Affairs, have secured for it the graf
itude of this, and the respect of other ma
tons.
, But. now, if this administration has the
'unbounded confidence of the Wings Ohio
why did not the Wings ofOhio not show that
unbounded confidence by works, as well as
by words. Iftheir confidence in Fillmore,
Webster, Crittenden and Company is so un-
limited, and they have conducted matters so
fttinglv to the circumstances of the times,
as to renden, themselves, as we are assured,
the heroes of history, and all the rest of us
but men of day, why was there so much
anxiety on the part of that very same Con-
vention that the following resolution also,
had to be put through without debate in the
night time:
RcSolued, That the desire of the Wings
of Ohio is that Gen. WINFIELD SCoTT should
be the candidate of the Wing party for Pres
ident of the United States at the election of
A. d. 1859; and we cordially recommend
him to the Wings of the Union as the most
deserving and suitable candidate for that Of
fee
How will the administration like this? Now
here is a problem. lfthe "Whigs OF Ohio, =
have told the truth in sayings that they have
most unbounded confidence in President
} Fillmore, Webster, Corwin IL Co., and yet
refuse either of them the nomination in So,
and prefer General Scott, how much more
than "aaoSt un6omded,' is their confidence
in Gen. Scott?

The Wing convention deliberately, with
emphasis, and against the earnest protest OF
many members, cast Mr.. Fillmore off. 1t is
reasonable to suppose that he would regard
{ that as a strange way of fshowing the graft
tude which they profess, and that he would

pronounce him perfection, and yet prefer q
man with no pretentlons whatever as a civil,
