the .Nstc York Tunes in writing from Washing
ton under the date of July LIST, says:-
"'rhe evidences of Gen. SCOTS popularity are
astonishing Col. Humphrey Marshall is said
to have signfed to his coierie Of malcontents
that there is not the slightest use of holding out
longer. There are rumors, too, that Hon. James
Duane Doty, Of Wisconsin. Democrat of great
influence, whose majority was six or eight thou
sand, has not only repudated Gen Pierce but has
declared for Gen Scott Mr.. Durkee, his col
league. has also cut all connection with the
Pierce Democracy. They can, and will, since
Gen. SCOTS letter Of acceptance, give TO that
candidate the five votes of w lsconsin. Ohio,
too, must, it is now admitted by the Democrat, be
transferred from the Pierce to the Scott column.
The Wings of the Western reserve are unani-
nous for the Wing candidate, Us against the
Democratic Platform, and they have determined
to run no independent candidate. 1t is true that
Gov Wood, last fall, had majority of ten thou
sand votes over both the Wing and Free Soil
tickets but the astounding fact has come to
light that Gov Wood himself is disaiiected, or
at the best Indifferent"

His preference, were for Mr. Fillmore. His
belief too, in regard to Mr.. Fillmore's fitness
availability, and services, were unaltered to the
end of time. What he wrote IN the letter which
we published, in May last, he rc-uttercd in sub
stance IN speaking of the acts of the Convention.
But he was satisfied with the nomination Of Gen.
Scott and spoke in The highest amt kiadest terms
fhim as a man. as a soldier and as a Uhig and
the only drawback to his full cor.mendaton Of
the final acts Of the Convention was the retcra-
ton of his early and well known repugnance TO
the selection Of military men for the highest civil
Offices.
