General SCOTS Religious Belief.

The Boston Bee, jealous Webster journal, in
assigning the reasons why the people OF Massa-
ehusetts will not support General Scott, says:
"There is very strong prejudice against him
on account Of his religious beliefn
The Bee does not tell US what that belief is;
but we have learned, with much surprise, from
other sources, that one of the charges circulated
with view to excite the prejudices of portion
of the voters of the United States against General
Scott, is that he is Roman Catholic. While,
as Protestants of no doubtful dye, and friends Of
universal liberation, which we regard as essential
to the preservation of our free institutions, we
religious tests in political matters, we enabled
to state that this great and good man is Prot
estant Episcopalian, and attends divine worship
regularly in ST. Johns Church. under the pas
toral charge of the Rev. Smith Pyne, in this city.
1t is believed that daughter of General Scott,
who had been educated in France, became
member of the Roman Catholic Church some
years since; but certainly it cannot be alleged
as fault in an afectionate American parent
that he should permit cherished child to adopt
the religious faith most congenial to her con-
science.
In connexion with the above charge, it
has been stated that, while in Mexico General
Scott bore a candle in religious procession !!
Without intending to attach undue Importance to
so ridiculous charge, and without knowing or
caring whether it is true or false, we would sim
ply remark that, situated as the commander of
the American army was at the time-bearing the
sword in one hand and tho olive-bran in the
other-it was his true policy to conciliate the
affections of the people whom he had so CALAMITY
conquered, by any concessions to their religious
prejudices not inconsistent with the principles of
the faith of the Saviour of all men. To this may
be added the fact that many, very many, of the
gallant soldiers who composed the army of Gen.
Scott, and had borne the American standard in
triumph over the battle-felds of Mexico, were
Roman Catholics, and as such were entitled to
any mark of respect to their religion which could
be shown by their beloved chief

N What Now 80

This is the title of a very pretty little book,
just published by NJ w. Wood, New York, and
for sale by Taylor Maury, of this city.
1t is from the pen of Charles F. Deems, presi-
dent of Greensboro Female College, North Caro-
lima, and is addressed to young ladies leaving
school. =" What Now" is the question proposed;
and it is one that should excite the most earnest
reflection. Childhood is past, and the necessity
of selfreIiance and the duty of exerting salu-
tary influence arc imposed upon the disenthralled
schoolgirl.
There are many who have never thought of
the Importance of this question. They should

Invitation from the Wings of Baltimore
to the Wings of the Union.

To the Wings Of the Union:
The undersigned have been directed by the
Wing City Convention of Baltimore to solicit the
attendance of their fellow Wings from all parts
Of the Union at the meeting OF the National
Convention, on the 10th June.
The invitation which they instructed to
extend is on behalf not only of those whom they
Immediately represent, but of the body of the
Wings of Maryland. On memorable occasions
heretofore our fellow-Wbigs have honored us by
assembling here in council. We are not aware
that any have had cause to tax US with the lack
of cordial welcome.
If kindly intercourse and the interchange of
opinions and good Offices have contributed on for
mer occasions to strengthen the bonds of good fell
lowship, such consequences, more than ever, must
follow from themnow The thought that the Union
has been in danger must make the feeling ofbroth-
erhood more warm, when brethren Of all sections,
in the lame Of the Union, are met to consult for
its continued preservation.
Let our fellow Wings, then, from all quarters,
bring themselves among us. Let their delegations
be numerous, enthusiastic, and confident. The
inspiration of their presence will give the vgor of
triumph to the first blow of the fight.

There are certain parties in the South VINO op-
pose the nomination of Gen. Scott because, as
thew affirm he is not true to the compromises OF
the constitution; and they also say that he is the
favorite of the Freesoilers and Aoohuonists OF
the North. The true friends OF Gen. Scott both
North and South, know that he is a Compromise
man-that he is national in all his acts and sym
pathies He knows no North, no South-nothing
but his country. The Scott men of the North
stand by him on account of his nationality, and
because of his devotion to Wing principles. The
Freesoil partisans intend to oppose him. We
have before us the Boston Commonwealth of the
9th instant, the acknowledged organ of the New
England Freesoilers, in which there is call for
a convention of the party, and also leading ar
ticle from which we make the following extract:
''The Wing party has yet to make its nomina-
tons. Its platform may not be openly avowed !;
but, whether avowed not, it is perfectly certain
that the subject of slavery it will be identical
with that of the Democrats. There will, doubt
less, be an attempt, perhaps successful one, to
get Gen. Scott nominated without any declaration
of principle-at least on the subject of slavery.
In that case he will show one face to the South
and another to the North, We shall oppose him,
wheher he shors only his Southern face OF whether
he shoms both his Southern and his Northern face
We hare lille confidence IN him Under any guiSe or
disguise and zoe hare still less confidence in his art
Jul and ambitious managers at Washington"
We call the particular attention of the South
ern Wings who oppose the nomination of General
Scott to the above. From it they can learn what
the Freesoil leaders think of Gen. Scott, and how
they regard him and his friends in the North.
He is supported as Wing by the Wings, and
they will stand by him and will labor to secure
his election, because he has stood by his country
and his party, and has upheld the banner of his
country in many a well-fought field

1t was stated in our paper yesterday that the
Democratic platform embraced a scrap from
every source; but there appears to be one i'm
portant omission. The Richmond Wing remarks
that "upon the grave and momentous question of
intervention we have not word. From the eager
ness with which Cass and Douglas endorsed the
nomination, we presume the whole foreign policy
of the government from the days of Washington
is to be subvertcd. The strange phraseology of
the last resolution gives countenance to this sup
position"

Messrs. FILLMORE and Webster.

We learn from very reliable authority that
when it was found that the mountain would not
go to Mahomet, Mahomet went to the mountain
and, if it was necessary that they should meet,
we think the step he took, or the succession of
steps, was judicious and philosophical. So, also,
at the present time, it appears to be an ascer-
tanned fact that Mr.. Webster and his friends have
made no effort to approach to the support of Mr..
Fillmore; and we accordingly find, if we are not
seriously mistaken, that that distinguished citi-
zen and his friends are inclining their steps
toward Mr.. Webster. How high the mountain
will be elevated by this accession of supporters,
we know not. 1t may be that many gentlemen
supposed to be in the train of Mr. Fillmore will
lag behind and fall into the ranks of more for
tunate leader. We at all events stand undis-
mayed and prepared for the contest. "Come
