WING CONVENTION.
Y omination OF Cen. Winfield Scott

BY photographic dispatch, received at Winches-
ter at 2 o'clock on Monday. and transmitted in
printed slips from that place, we learr that GEN.
WINFIELD SCOTT received the nomination
of the Wing National Conven:io n, for the Presi
dency, on the 52ad ballot Our preference for a
mother is known to all our readers, cut we are pre-
pared to sustain National Wing principles although
our personal wishes as 10 the nominee are not
gratifed. We have never yielded to the idea that
Gen. Scorr was unsound upon any question Of
public interest at the present time, and there is
nothing in his position. that We are aware ofwhch
should deprive him of the vote of any true wing.
In the coming canvass, therefore, we are prepared
to give him our cordial support.
The most painful forebodngs of the Democratic
party have been realized by the nomination Of
WINFIELD ScoTT, and in this section of country
they are evidently considerably "disgruntled. -
They dread cold Chepultepec" and well they
may. On the Ides of next November he is des-
tined to achieved the balIot-box a victory more
brilliant. overwhelming and complete than any
that has marked his splendid and triumphal mil
itary career.
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1852-06-23
The WING Platform.

The platform adopted by the Wing National
Convention, may be found among the proceedings
OF that body on Friday, published in another col
utnn of this paper With the exception of few
slight alterations, it consists of the resolutions a
dopted by the Southern Delegates at meeting
held by them on Tuesday evening. We point to
this declaration of Wing principles with feelings
Of pride and eyultaiion, and ask every reader to
draw the contrast between it and that made by the
Democratic Convention 4 few weeks ago. In this
platform every thing is to the point and easily I'M
derstood-iu the other, there is scarcely resolu-
ton on any practical subject that does not admit Of
more than one Interpretation, and the whole is 50
characterised by clap-trap and deception as to offer
an insult to the people upon whose intelligence it
sets out with protesting 10 rely. The different
circumstances under which the two platforms were
adopted, moreover, is a matter worthy ofspocial
notice. The one was considered in full Conven-
ton, before the balloting had commenced, and the
votes for and against it were regularly recorded !;
the other was postponed till just before the final
alleged, had left the Hall, and others were unable
to learn what was going on, and thus an opportu-
nifty was afforded for the assertion, already made
by the Freesoilers, that it was not passed by the
Convention at all. The one comes to us with the
authority of well matured and deliberately made
declaration-the other is deprived Of nearly all
moral force. In this point of view the resolutions
respectively adopted by the two Conventions in re-
gard to slavery are to be considered and valued.
We do not propose at this time to review
the Wing platform in detail The fourth resou-
ton, however, we consider one of the most I'M
portant of the series. The idea seems to have
prevailed to some extent oflate, that laws and
treaties only bind the Government, with its army
and navy and other officials, while the people
are at liberty to act as they please. This danger
Gus and absurd notion receives no countenance from
the Wing party. The resolution strikes alike at
Northern higher-law, men and Southern ilibustars,
and places the matter on the true basis of all pub
| lie morals.
At the time Of writing these lines, we have not
learned the result OF the bailoting In the Conven
ton for Candidates for President and Vice Presi-
dent But while we have decided preference a
mong the distinguished gentlemen named for the
first office, now consider the result as matter
Of comparatively little Importance. Here are our
principles, the at all times and under all cir
cumstances, and whether success or defeat awaits
us. we will stand by and maintain Them

The Ancestry OF, Gen. Pierce.

In speaking of Gen. PIEHcE's ancestry and con-
since discovered, that he boasts OF noble descent.
His Democratic friends now state by way OF recon-
mendation TO their party, that he is a lineal de
scendau. of tho "PERclEs. Dukes of Northumber-
land"
I, eives us pleasure to chronicle this aristocra.
zeal feature in the history fthe Demo- ratio can
dida;c, Surely that Democracy is pure and un-
tainted which seeks to give eclat to the unknown
name Of its leader, by tracing his genealogy to the
ordly nobility of England. However proud Mr..
PIERCE and his friends may be Of the aristocratic
blood that courses through his veins, we feel sure
that the connexion will not be- (when it is discov-
ered) as highly appreciated byhis royal kins-
men, the Dukes of Northumberland. They would
not begin to own him, unless with that noble in
dignation which once fired the now defunct BUcH-
AsAS, he resorts TO the process of depletion, until
every drop of Democratic blood is drawn out Of his
body.
It might be we'll for those who are prosecuting
these genealogical Investigations to ascertam If pos
sible, whether the ''noble PERcIEs" were remark
able for their proficiency in workmanship. If it
can only be established that they were in the hab
it of falling from their saddles, while engaged in
the royal pastimes Of the chase and the tournament,
ice will be prepared to admit the validity Of the
Generals claim toa connexion without farther con-
troversy. However, for the purpose of satisfying
those who may not be as easily convinced as our
selves, it would probably be as well to examine the
Coat-of- Arms of the House of Northumberland
If it should be found to consist of rampant charg
or and stretched-out cavalier, with pocket hand
kerchief tied around his ankle, there will not be
the shadow of a doubt that Gen. PIERCE is near
relative of the noble family. His claim will then
be fairly made out to the title of FRANKLIN

with your "Young Hickory of the Granite Hills. !"

what is lie Reserved For.

There is lad of only twelve years old, w. II.
Waddell, living at Pocahontas, Arkansas, who, in
the spring of 1850, was stabbed, the wound tho't
to be mortal the same fall he was knocked sense
less and cold by lightning; in the fall of 1851
was run over by four mules and a wagon; last
winter, fell from the third story window, lighting
upon pile of stones; about six weeks since was
shot, three bullets entering his body. The hero
of all these ugly accidents still alive and healthy
being reserved doubtless, for some other kind OF
shutting off this mortal col.-Er paper.
o. We claim kin with that boy He never
could have been as heky unless he belonged to our
branch of the family. 1t gives us pleasure to re-
cord him in these our archives, as the most prom
sing youth of the connection and an honor to the
name he bears. 1t is astonishing that there should
be doubt as to what he is reserved for. He yet
to be the President of these United States. Wheth-
er the Democratic candidate for, or the Wing in
cumbent of the office, his fee ires will be equally
convenient

N5-Our contemporary of the Times, in just and
pungent criticism of the Democratic Platform, ex-
plains to us the why and wherefore the Declare
ton of Independence was incorporated into the
Platform 1t was done for the benefit of the Free
Sellers. The following passage in the Declaration
of independence embodes favorite idea of the
Higher Law gentry, and they are always APP
pealing to it to justify their proceedings:
s'We hold these truths to be self-evident that
all men are created equal; that they are endowed
by their creator with certain unahenable rights;
that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness"
The Platform was the work of Mr.. B. F. Hal
lett, who is for 'freedom and freesoil throughout
Gods herltage"-and to him the Democracy arc
indebted for the broad doctrine that negroes and
white men are equal.-Whig.
