SPRINGFIELD, Illinois, Saturday, July u, 1852.
The Wing State Convention which con-
vened here on Wednesday last was one of the
lsrgest and most enthusiastic Delegate Conyon-
items ever held in the State. The nomination
Of General SCOTT for the Presidency had inspired
eur friends with removed hope and courage, and
.hey come cut to the Convention with tcW.
TIE greatest harmony PREVAILED, and the excellent
state ticket which has been presented was agreed
to. in most cases, without division. The follow
ng are the candidates nominated:
Flr Cor@ror. 81. Hon EDWIN B. WEBB, of White Co.
IT, GOre,HCr Col J. L. D. MORRISON OF ST Clair Co.
SIC. Of state Col. BUcENER 5. MORRIS, Of Cook Co
e. Tyeqturey. FRANCIS ARLNZ, ESQ, OF Csss Co.
1zctor......t HARLEs Belts Esq, Of Stephenson Co.
Our candidate for Governor is a distinguished
aw, or in the lower part of the state, a man Of
great personal popularity and has long been
| known throughout The whole State as an able,
finn and devoted Wing He is familiarity called
! Bat Webb" and he VIII rally a ss.eDgth around
| him in the canvass well calculated TO alarm the
Opposition.
As to our candidate ;o' l.. Governor, who in
! the Prairie Stare does not know Don Morrison"
son of our own soil the gallant soldier who led
a regiment and fought like a lion at Buena Vista
| the yourg. ardent and popular Wing, who has
| gloriyusly upheld our banner in many a politicu
! contest His name is a tower Of strength to the
| ticket. ,,lg---..-..o =
State is distinguished lawyer re siding at Chica-
90 and the GIst Mayor OF that city, ne Is a naive
ofkentucky and true "kentuck Wing, though
| long a resident Of Illinois.
Nh. ArCnZ. the candidate FOR State Treasurer,
g one of our German citizens, a gentleman Of
I -. M "a n hfO He has often
| been member OF our Legislature and is well
| known throughout the State. Ills unanimous
nomination serves 10 relute the Loco oco calumny
| Of Wing hostility to our adopted citizens
The nomination Of Charles BettJ, Esq, as can
! d;dute for Auditor, is a welld6seUed compliment
| 10 ore Of the working, live young Wings, who Is
alNa avs at his post in season and out OF season, to
! do battle in the good cause.
! Such is the Wing State ticket presented by our
! Convention 10 the people Of Illinois, and 1t is
ticket which the party can feel proud OF and bat
tie for with hearty good will. In oil the ele
| inents that 60 10 make up a good ticket and
strong tchet, 1t is vastly ahead OF the LOcO-FOcO
ticket and | consider that there is fair chance
| O; its success. The scandalous conduct Of the
Loco. FocO State Convention, in refusing tonomnate
the Hon. David l.. Gregg for Governor, for the
syowed reason that he was Catholic, has sunk
| deeply into the hearts Of our Catholic citizens,
who form very large class OF voters in our State.
| heretofore voted the Democratic ticket VIII re-
| bike such Lniustfable action by refusing to 60
! the ticket 1T all this time. Though the CathOhc
! population OF our State has generally voted with
| the OPPOSITION Vet the hostility OF the real Loco
| Foco party 10 the Catholics has been most Dltter
| and uirelent,ug. The old Ranger GOV. hey-
uol,s wa in the ate Loco FOcO State Convention,
and =, hen the question Of the nomination oil Gregg
| was under consideration, openly declared 'haI MS
| " Democratic constituents would not touch
| Catholic with ten foot pole. Indeed, the real
cause Of tire hostility on the pert OF many oil the
| Inco-Tocos of this state TO General SCOTT, is on
account OF his friendly feeling to the Catholic pop
| ul.tjoD IN Mexico, aud his projection " their
! worship.
| The nomina ton Of Cen COIr was received with
! the greatest demonstrations Of enthusiasm ia all
parts at our State. and the greatest confidence is
elt by our VI big friends that We shall be able TO
! ctIIy the state Tor him.
| You are aware that before the ting Of The
| National Wig Convention there was considerable
controversy to how the preferences of our Dele
gates would he, and that after The DeleL ates had
| agsced 10 cast their vOt,s as an unit for Gen.
Scott, two of them boltcd AMI voted for Mr. Fill
u. re, under tie pretencc that the Wings OF the
! state were really for Fillmore as the candidate.
! lie Ing State Convention has placed that mat
| tct right by ceclarli by resolution that Scorr
| ~ts the first choice OF the Illinois Wings, aud
! passing vote 81 thanks to those OF tn Delegates
