A few days ago, The Sun, (Philadelphi,, }
edited by Custom. House officer, but pro-
Tossing to be the organ Of the Natives OF
that City, came out against Gen. ScoTr for
next President, avering that he could not
carry Pennsylvania because he had years
age) written letter" repudiating Nativ-
ism. Thus was the Wing party admon-
ished by the Custom House Editor Of The
Sun:
ct is to the great party that we address our
selves, inviting their attention to the prospect before
them. IL they desire the votes of twenty thousand
Native Americans, let them promptly resume the
direction OF their affairs before it is toe late
We well know the sentiments and opinions OF the
Native American party on this subject and we know
that without their votes the Wing candidate for the
Presidency can never succeed in Pennsylvania
Gen. Scott nersr obtain the support the Native
American party"
Such were the grounds on which the
Wings were expected to drop Gen. Scott
and support Mr.. Fillmore for reelection.
Well the Wing State Convention large
and strong one-.was held at Harrisburg
last week, and Gen. Scott nominated by it
for President by vote of One Hundred
and Thirteen to fire non committal-not one
avowedly for Webster nor for Fillmore Do
you suppose these Delegates did or did not
know who could carry Pennsylvania ?
"A still more striking testimony to the
strength of Gen. Scott has just been given
in Michigan. The Detroit Daily Aduer-
hser, strong Silver Gray organ, but one
of the Oldest and most respectable journals
in the State, lately undertook to show by
tabular estimates of the probable vote of
the several States for Fillmore, Webster,
Scott respectively, that either of the former
could get more Electoral Votes than Scott
This he accOmplishes by assuming that
Fillmore could carry Virginia, Alabama
&C., which Scott could not but his table
comedies that MICHIGAN ,Oo,sid go for Scott
and would not go for Webster or Fillmore.
These facts bear their own comment.
The following is the letter of Gen. Scorr which
provoked this Native denunciation
