from the whig press, showing th,
manner in which portion of then
receive the news of the whig nomina
ton.
The New York Day Book has ear
nestly advocated the nomination o
Mr.. Webster by the whig conven.
ton. 1t finds vent for its disap-
pointment at the nomination of Gen
Scott in the following biting com
ments :
The nomination of G. en-. Scott falls
like a wet blanket upon the wings Of
this city, (New York; Among all
that we met yesterday and heard
speak Of the nomination, and they
were hundreds, we heard but one SOL
itary whig who did not,declare open
ly that he would not vote Tor Gen.
Scott and that one was an aboli-
ZIONIST and a believer in spirit rap
pings. The whigs Of this city are
disappointed, chagrined and morti-
fled beyond expression, and they
can Vent their feelings only in exc
Grating the means that brought
about so conteln n9tible nomination.
This admin istration has been a
most splendid o ne-the whig party
has been homo red by it, and the
country has be en- honored. 1t has
carried US through the most dan
geI Ious crisis and most trying times
that the country has ever known :
The splendid talents of Daniel Web
ster have shown brighter and dis
played more noble traits Of character
than have been exhibited by any 9th
er statesman since the formation of
the government. The country re-
sponded to the call for him to accept
the secretaryShip as one man, and all
extolled the sagacity and Judgment
of the new chief magistr ate that s. E.
lected him as His prime minister. i
Nor have we be en- disapp pointed; eve
ry thing that h E has attempted he
has done, and e everything thlt he has
done he has done well. That the
wings should rfpudiate such an ad-
ministration- - that it Should throw
overheard such man as Daniel
Webster, after all that Ii has done
for it, and take up such h cdnceited,
ill-tempered and foolish ere hture as
Gen. Winfield Scott-is past Iall COM
prqhension and must be mdrtifying
in the extreme to every sensible man
Of the party 1t shows What it is
of & md how don't fmptible
and utterly worthless it is in every
respect. 1t hhs repudihted Henry
Clay, Daniel Webster, John j. Crit
tenden and Millard Fillmore, for such |
men as Winfield Scott, AYm. H. Sc
ward, John nj Bolts and James G. |
Jones. II
Who wants anything to do with
such party2 Who will belong to /
it? Who will support it, work for it,
and 90 with it2 Who? Why, the |
and anti-renters, the Nor
mons, the Fourierites, the socialists,
the spirit-rappers, the abolitionists
md the advocates Of woman's rights
the Finkies, the Joe Smiths, and |
Lloyd Garrisons. The Ehigs-bahl
who Will say he is a whig, g,now? Not
We surely. We would aB soon sup
port Greely or Abby Kelly Folsom,
IS Winfield Scott, VIM. II. Seward,
md Sim Draper The Southern
yhigs may take them and hug them
10 their bosoms, if they choose, but
he Workers never wi i. Perhaps
Scott, with his abolition supporters
nere, and John NJ. Clayton, John NJ.
Bolts, Gov. Jones, and the Hon. Les
lie Combs in the South, may carry
and Tennessee; but we can
ell them that they will carry but
ust one Northern State. They will
get Vermont, and notH hing else
Mark what We say:-Ge b. Scott will
AIRY but one State North of Mason
md Dixon's line, and that will be
2 Vermont, the only State that has
lulliied the fugitive slav ve law.
