OF the wing press in response 10 General SCOTS
nomination and they made beginning by placing in
their columns the somewhat gu and souraced assent
oil the especial organ" OF the wing administration.
Fearing that some OF these wing voices may not reach
the ear OF the inislhgeaeer, propose from time to
time 10 contribute our mite in aid of lis laudabe purpose
and we begin to-day with the following extracts from
leading wing prints OF the North The southern chap
ter will be opened in due season.
i AT the head Of our list we place two of the chief
wing papers OF Boston-lhe Boston Courier and the
Boston Daily Advertiser Ii TO be observed that these
two journals speak for all the whig force in Massaehu
sets which any southern wing venture to recognise
as orihodoxhe Boston Atlas, the Scott organ in Bos

The Boston Courier responds" as follows
Yesterday the Baltimore Convention nominated Gen
scott as candidate for President tue fifty third ballot
With patience exhausted unstrung by slee pless
nights and the thermometer ninety those who had stood
out through fifty balongs, 'caved i'm last and put an

"The of the result Boston roduc ed such
an effect might have been expected from the we'll
known predictions of the inhabitants of this city feH
like funeral pail their spirits. From the immense
crowd Of citizens assembled In State street, few faint and
hardy-audibe cheers went up the intelligence

Individuals Of the frees0a party We will add that

nal oil General SCOTS nomination, caught the in its
ascent, and ruptured the which did not
! fail to excite the comments of the spectators.
General Scott then, is nominated Baltimore. After
what we have said OF the impocy of adopting him the
wing candidate, II would be something than aecta
ton in approve OF this act put forth any
ghiown phrases Of eulogium on the wisdom OF the
vention.
The public in this quarter have very strong convictions
la IN tasr kpn loxu
II happened that General Scott nominated by the
vention, when majority fits members went to Baltimore
with determination not to vote for him. They think 1t
extraordinary affair, and that requires than
ordinary investigation great curiosity exists know
what influences applied bring about results little
anticipated in the outset 1t not be easy satisfy
this curiosity and evadc those investigations
some people imagine The wings Of Boston, at least, will
be very stubborn in their queries"
The Boston Daily Advertiser has "response" which
is throughout only leng-drawn groan. We subjon
here so much Of as surrenders the hope of carrying
Massachusetts for General Scott, reseryng for another
connexion its remarkable and well-reasoned calculations
as TO his prospects in the other States:
"TmE WING CoNvENrIoN.-The telegraph yesterday fur
nshed the result Of the abors of tho Wing Convention
at Batmore--a result which has struck US with hardly
less surprise than regret. Il is decision which shall
submit with all due resignation because there is
appeal from it but not bound say that in
opinion is wise udcious one or that Is one which
bids fair promote welfare of the wing party of
country On the contrary, fear that il foebodes dis
consequences bot in putting the party upon an
effort which conceive be hopeless We shall, never
heess, neglect nothing in our power to promote Its sue
cess,ohioh fully ,oM be very a-with the
hope that the wings of Massachusetts, may al least carry
the State election. which is of great the e
of the Commonwealth oaaeru be The res'at OF the
presifentiai election.
In dischargng duty the wing cause, 1t is part
of pretend confidence nhioh do mol feel that Gen
Scott elected We had supposed this so hopeless
that tho members of the convention from The northern
States, confsring with those from the South would be-
convinced it, and would perceive the expectancy
OF naming candidate more satisfactory 10 the States "heh
10 BE- relied on for vofes 10 seeTe the election"
We come now to New York and the first wing voice
from that great city is that of the Courier and Enquirer,
telling plainly enough The nomination "s not fit 10 be
msie"-tbat the mass of the wings have received it
with suen Indignation" and have on all sides ex-
pressed determination not to support the Baltimore nou-
nee." Naturally enough from these premises, follows
the Couriers nmated conclusion that the wing party is
doomed TO defeat"
'sThe majority Of tho National Wbig Convention have
determined that Winfield Scott is fit TO be President
OF the United States Daniel Webster. With all def
ercnce, gentlemen, disagree with you We have al
ways believed the contrary still believe the contrary
