ocrac splits" They likely 10 have enough 10 do to
attend 10 their own difficulties. Present indications show
that Gen SCOTS friends are determined that he shall rum

not vote for him, and will runa Union and Compromise

southern wings urge that Gen. Scott will lose them the
southern wing vote not only in the presidential contest
but in the local elections for State and federal Offices II
that there is doubt if the wing convention
at Philadelphia will be called, or be "authoratively'
called. We copy the following on this point from the
Berks Journala leading whg paper published at Read.

The same paper announces its preference for Senator
Mangun, Of North Carolina, as Vice President, thus I
" Hon, Willie r Mangum, of North Carolina is a wbig

the next election"
We call the attention of southern wings TO the words
ialicsed by u.s. The advice is udicious. Messrs Ca
bell, Toombs, Stephens and Hiard OF course will not
take this advice, far General Scott is concerned II

these gentlemen al least in the democratic ranks by the
9TH OF July.
The same paper is so hostile TO the President that il
will not Mister him in alludng TO his nomination
in Louisiana The following notice is cut out from il
