sca Hon. William Wright, whig candidate
for Governor of New Jersey, in l847, has come
mt in favor of Pierce and King against General
Scott. Mr.. Wright is a gentleman of much in
fuence in that State, and win prove serious
thorn in the flesh of whiggery there.
eSsnIn the counties of Augusta and Rock

influential wings have not only repudiated the
Scott ticket but have come out for Pierce. We
hear the same thing from almost every portion
Of Virginia John B. Hodge, Esq, who was a
sub-elector in Berkeley county; and James II.
Lacy, Esq, of Spottsylvania county, have also

asn. The Webster papers continue to hit at
Gen. Scott. He fights better than he writes,
says one of them. ''In appropriateness, simph-

Boston Traveller.
kSg1Some time since, the friends of Gen
Scott made great blow about the purity of his
patriotism, because of his having refused to be-
come the dictator of Mexico-though the whole
influence of the army and the wealth of the
country were pledged to back him. Since he
has been nominated for the Presidency, the
presses in his influence say that ''the Mexicans
hate General Scott" The two statements dc
not tally.
rsn. Is it not most astounding to find the
men who opposed the war with Mexico, now the
chief supporters of Gen. Scott. Corwin and Sc

his body guard. Thus these unprincipled oppo

sustain one of the most conspicuous of the com
