The whig Party and the Presidency.

The Whig Party and the Presidency.
 The result Of the recent elections in Ohio and Pennsylvania, has fell like a bomb into the whig of the availability of Gen. Scott, identified as he Is with the Lancaster platfonn and the party that promulgated and supported the doctrines there enunciated. The ctizensOf these two influential States have declared in the most solemn and em- phaiic manner their devotion to the constitutional rights of the other members Of tte confeieraey, and their determination 10 oppose any man or set ot men, who venture 10 stake the peTpe uity or 4samony of the government on the issue of trad. ing scheme to catch the vote of such dangerous and corrupt faction, as the higher law politicians have proven thenhselyes to be. This feeling against the nomination of Gen. Seottwil also be strength ened by the tone of political sentiment that Der vades the South and which has begotten the vic tories in Georgia and Mississippi, and which so materially changed the complexion of the ultra secession feelugs m South Carolina. The healthy state of the national democracy in the north. has shown to the people of the southern States that il IS to taem they to look for vindicaton of their rights, and while Inc whss of t,at section of the Union may not find it within the scope and duty of their political conscience to support the democratic candidate for tic Presidency still they will not ad to elect one who is openly committed to the men and doctrines they despise.
 The whole scheme of the Scott party both In this Slate and Ohio, was to identify him with the success, as they then thought ol the whig Govern ors ol these two States, and then by the force of these fn hm as their candidates and thus rely upon north. ern votes entirely 10 eject him. This was the mad attempt that was made for he first time in the his tory Of the country of openly drawing the geo graPhfeasline, and excluding the entire southern portion ot the nation, from any participation Tn the choice Of the chief executive officer of the Union It was m view Of this wild attack upon the rights ot the other sections of the confederacy thai made some of the leading wing politicians of the south, publicly dsSk gse their want of confidence in the whig party dfAhe north and their determination not to meet with them in convention, II their atro- eious sentiments were not fully purgsd from the political text-b book This game of Seward and others was bold ole, and based npca the military fenown of Gen Scott would have been danger ous one fl suffered to take hold upon the public sentiment of the north. But baffled as il was by
 the cross fires Of the friends of Webster and Fiif- more, who saw in t danger to their aspirations but not to the peace of the country it was exposed Tn the whig convention at Lancaster, and deieat has followed like bloodhound upon its track The people once let into the secret of this infamous attack upon the rights of different portion of the Union, rallied to their support with a power tha, was irresistible.
 Thus stands the whg party now, and their hopes of a northern dynasty through the agency ol the AoollioniSts aad General Scott. The main body oi he forces beaten and flying in confusion before the victorious national democracy. their only hope IS m inc reserve, headed either by Webster or Fillmore. If Inc loracr be selected, all hlS pre. vioas free soil and abolition speeches and tenden eies will pass before the people like Baaauos issue and warn them not to Se deceived; if the latter, Il will be remembered that beiofe his accidental ae- eesSian to the presidential chair, he had, al all times, acted and SympatiiSsd wish the people he now oontemns. aud was reeosni4eds Tn his native SGate, as belonging io the flee Sst and abolition wing of the wing party, Thus are lhex caught in the pit they dug for another, and sFter spending !Sais III rearing His tSuipte o abolition Ioli! ana madness, Il has fell upon and crushed shen beneath its ruins. In the ncfth, they have los; the conf dence and support of the popular feeiingi and ,a the south, they are looked upon as B iaeton iha, would make use of aay means to attain aa object or graiiiy aa ambition. They may mask then features with the cry of taria and home Iadasay; but the eefeat of Governor Johnston, the chosen giadisioI o he moty baud in tbis Sta,e, has placed them in position ifom which there Is lio escape The next presidency, lke all the great interests o the country, IS now in lhe control of tLe democracy Of the Union, and they will se.eeI such man as will reaee. the national feeling with hdeiity.-i Eseaiag (Pa.l Argus.
