Presidential EIectiOn of 1852.

We this week place at the head of our col
umns,t the names of Gen. WINFIELD SCOTT
of New Jersey, and Ex- Governor JAMES JONES
of Tennessee, as the Wing candidates for
President and Vice President in 1852, subject
to the decision of the Wing National Conven-
ton. There are scores of other Wings, good
and true, whom we could heartily support for
these high Offices Our present worthy Pres
ident, Fillmore, Clay, Crittenden. and a
Corwin, are bright constellation in the Wing
party. and are eminently worthy of the high
est Office within the gift of the people; but
none have better title to the station than
Windfeld Scott His services TO his country
entit.e him to have been President long ago,
and we much mistake the signs of the times,
if Justice, long deferred, is not about to be
awarded to that gallant and patriotic Old He
70, the mention of whose very name sends a
thrill of pride through the American bosom.
The following article from the Portage Co.
Whig, contains many good reasons why Scott
Wing National Convention;
We prefer Gen. Scott for these reasons:
/. He is thorough-going Wing, and has
ever been known as such. No charge of a
want of devotion to the cardinal principles of
the Wing party, could be brought against him.
In 1s4e, many Wings left their party and
supported Van Buren, because Gen. Taylor
VIII. g.
Chip is nominated, similar difficulty will be
obviated in '52,
2. He is not mixed up with any of the
sectional controversies of the day. If nomin-
ated, he would come before the people free
from sectional prejudices. which is desidera-
tum. Living in a free State, rnd never having
held slave. his sympathies are naturally on
the side of freedom, and averse to slavery yet
he is no agitator, and would do full justice 10
all sections of the Union.
3. His nomination would be the most pop
ular that could be made. We never believe
in making principle subseryient to availability,
but it is obviously right and proper, in making
a selection for any Office, to choose man
whose principles are not only sound, but who
could command the largest vote. Gen. Scott
can readily carry every State that Taylor car
ried in AS, and in addition he can get the
electoral vote of California, which will elect
him. We have not shadow of doubt but he
could get the ELECTORAL vote of Ohio. ALSO
Third -partyism will scarcely carry the State
for the locofoco candidate if Scott is in the
field
Taking all things into consideration, then,
there is no man in our ranks Who'll so pecul-
iarly qualified to lead the Whig hosts in '52
as Gen. Scott. He could not only concentrate
the strength of his own party in every section
of the Union, but his name would be the raj
lying for thousands and tens of thousands
from the Arostook to the Rio Grande, of those
who have never been particularly identified
with the Wing party.

Another Discovery.

Mr. Paine who claims TO have invented a
method of producing light and heat by the
combustion OF water,not satisfied with this dis
covery, has hit upon a still cheaper and abun-
dant fuel. The Worchester Spy says
"Althouyh the patent of the Hydro Elec-
tric Light has been secured, Mr.. Paine has not
remitted his investigations. and at last has
discovered process of catalyzing the oxygen
of the atmosphere, and rendering it highly
umninifereus at mere nominal expense,
without the cost of machinery, or any other
apparatus than an air receiver, capable of re-
ceiving air. We saw it in operation last ev-
envening in our Office, examined it minutelys
catazed the oxygen ourself and read by the
light so produced, which equal, if not superior
to the best gas burned in cities. The flame
is peculiarly bright and brilliant, burns with
a clear, steady light is entirety inodorous.and
during the half hour that we watched the
operation, we could see no consumption of the
catalizing material. The whole apparatus
which we saw could not have cost more than
couple of dollars. and il was capable of fur
nishiag all the light needed for the illumina-
ton of an ordinary sized room.'

Ew A. B. TAYLOR. Esq, says in our paper
this week, that he has a large assortment of
New Goods, and that he will sell many of
them for less money. than other merchants
paid for the same articles in New York. Such
promises are worth seeing after, and people
had better call down there and ascertain the
facts. He's got lots of tirst rate goods, that's
certain.

We understand that the receipts Of The
Post Office Department, for the quarter end-
ing on the 3Ist December, 1850, amounted
to $l,521 ,495,9s; showing an increase Of
S24l 1877 SO, or about ls 7-lO per cent over
the corresponding quarter Of the previous.
year.
The quarter ending on the 31th September
1850, also showed an increase of more than
II per cent, on the corresponding quarter OF.
the previous year and il is probable that the
increase for the fiscal year. ending on the S0tk
of June next, over the receipts Of the pre-.
ceding year, will II to ! 8 per cent
Thes. results are extremely gratifying
The increase is much beyond the estimate
made by the Postmaster General in his last
annualreport, and much beyond the usual in
crease from year to year. The increase for
the year ending on the Both of June, 1850,
was lag per cent as stated in the last annual
report from the Department and the increase
for the three previous years. as stated in the
annual report made BY Postmaster General
Collamer. in ls49. was as follows:
Fer the year ending
June Both. ls47. Il 27.lo0 per cent
ls4s, 43-l60
1S49, IA 2o-l09
OF the great increase in the latter year the
Postmaster General then said il was .extraor-
'dinary and much beyond the natural growth
of our population and business; and being
double that of the previous year. it cannot be
supposed to continue, especially as the causes
to which it was mainly attributable have
ceased to operate These were the retalia-
tory postage act, of June 27, 1s4s. which
was superseded BY the postal treaty with
Great Britain, in February 1s49, and the
greater frequency of correspondence induced
BY the Presidential canvass in 1913. Bat
the increase of the succeeding year, under the
administration Of Judge Colimer, showed as
great an increase, and for the current fiscal
year much larger per cent, Of increase is
likely to be exhibited.
The revenues and business of this Depart
ment have neatly doubled in the last five years
and this increase affords very gratifying evil
dence of the continued and rapid progress of
our country in wealth, business. and popula-
ton. 1t also bears the most conclusive iesii-
mony TO the energy, fidelity and ability. with
which the affairs Of the Department have been
managed by the present Postmaster General
