General scott In enc interior Of New YORK.

We have not seen more truthful and graphic state
nent OF the grave issues involved by the selection OF
General Scott the nominee OF the wing party than is
found ia the following extract from article Ia the
Daily Star, able wing paper published at Syracuse
New York IL calculated 10 the attention OF the
country. This with other articles OF the same tenor
(all from wing sources) which we shall hereafter pre-
sent TO readers, must convince the truly patriotic and
national members OF that party that SCOTS elevation
the presidency would be the triumph OF William IL
Seward, the creator and arbiler OF SCOTS political for
tunes and who. standing behind u.e throne could be
stronger than The throne itseLfs
"The Issue is whether General Scott on the one side
MillaId Fillmore OF Daniel Webster the other, sha
receive the nomination Of the convention for President
whether the ooua,y shall DO plunged back into
vortex from which II has but Just eerged-hether the
patriotic aud suspicious work OF past years which
found Its Embodiment and consummaIion in the passage
of the compromise measures and in general acquies
cence In them the part Of the people, shall be put
hazard, perhaps be entirely THE vul.

General SCOTS political relations, xions and
dcpendcncies unfortunately identity him with hopes
interests and schemes that built upon renewal and
reopening OF the slavery agitation, and overthrow
stripping OF tho adjustment OF all binding force
and vitality In hscause all who entertain such en-
barkedin his triumph would all such have their PHI
in his nomination defeat is, therefore, involved the
tanning losing OF the vantage ground by the
Of the peace The battle waged between those
who support him and those who do is constitutional
battlew neither that instrument shalt receive
lion which makes IT, so far as It lays It's inuncons
northern fanatcs mere waste paper, whether it shall
its endorsements from the highest statute books
and tribunals OF tho country.
Such, to minds, is the ground of opposition in the
convention upon which those stand who oppose Genera
Scott 1t is RADICAL VITAL deep sealed sentiment OF oppo
siuon, that calLot admit OF compromise accommodation
1t has kept him minority for fifty bal'otsit win
tnuc to keep him there, believe, long his is

" The propositions made adjourn die Indicate
think, Of feeling and purpose in the convention
most dangerous, and which is be trned with. Ir
STANDS SHOULD ScoTT the CONVENTION BY
ANY ACCIDENT OR TERGvERsATIoa,
CONSEQUENCES We FEAR THAT THOSE WHO
RESISTED his NOMINATION DESPERATELY FIRMIY
FOR THAN MS TRIUMPH AND THAT THE REPUTATION

WOULD A BETTER viSDicATioN
SUCH DErEAr THAN IN ANY TRIUMPH WITH HIM
This, minds is the temper and logic Of those in
the convention who oppose Gen Scott We trust wo are
mistaken and that he total Reorganization of the whg
party is not SO iearfy threatened Should it be tho
ignomny and responsibility be awarded where II belongs
let 1t be placed the doors OF those who have seized upon
the great military reputation Of Gen. Scott an instru-
ment Tor their purposes to produce Ractonary feeling
and movement in favor of righteousness and seconais
and furnish banquet upon which the foul appetite OF
personal vndc.veness and goa and find its
qualification.
