| Some wings chuckling over what they call
democratic splits" They are likely to have enough
to do to attend their own difficulties Present in
Violations show that Gen. SCOTS friends are deter

and that they are equally decided that he shall be
nominated by the wing convention at Philadelphia.
Others say, if he is, that they will vote for him.
and will run Union and Compromise whig candi-
date, or vote for Union democrat. The southern
wings urge that Gen. Scott will lose them the SOUTH
ern wing vote not only in the presidential contest
but In the local elections for State and federal Offices
1t seems that there is doubt if the whig conven-

thortatively" called. We copy the following on
this point from the Berks Journal leading whg
paPer. published at Reading, Pennsylvania
" WING NATIONAL CONVENTION. No arrangement

The same paper announces its preference for Sena-

We call the attention of southern wings the
words itacised by US. The advice is judicious

is concerned. If he is nominated. we shall not be
surprised to three of these gentlemen at least in

The paper is so hostile TO. the President that
it will Mister him in abiding his nominal

no better than this Mr.. Fillmore has fit

Taylor had appointed to responsible stations in our
State although by far the largest number of desirable
appointments and had been given by Gen. Tay-
