those Of BotiO, Seward, or Greeley.
The third Whg reviews the effect Of the nomination and
calls for Independent ticket. We give his article full

Truth will out Our correspondents speak language
which we have heard from hundreds aud hundreds nuen

and which has been aso put before Us In that time In
multitude OF communications
The editors urge the support Of the ticket upon the ground
that the Convention has adopted platform and Gen. Scott
has accepted nomination upon that his an
tecedens are good In the of their condoence how
ever the ghost of Whiggeys former antpathy 10 "miary

This spasm over the Editors relapse into the pazan and
remark with shudder But right wrong, the decree 10
upon u.s. and they sound the feeble fife of party to rally
Wings in favor of Scott against Pierce.
But again vision rises up, that of Gen. Scott having
been broueh, forward by Seward Greeley Co. The Edi
tors admit tina, they do like the who surround Gen
Scott nor the influences which have controlled him. The

for occupying space with It, We wish Southern

PLATFORM and about the mpossbilty of Gen. Scos being
influenced by Sewnrd is all moonshneor It is here shown
that the part of northern Wings there s strong susp

auence of the serpent Seward and may unconscousy be-

all these facts and then appreciate 1t deserves the par
