qairer of the 9th inst the New York E1pu IS
terms "a generous and Joyous article in re,
gard 10 the prospects of the Wing candida e
for the Presidency. on the union Of the Wings
in this favor. We extract the iirot paragraph
OF the article:
The fact IS unQuestonahle (says the Cour
er) that Gen SCOTS prospects are brighten
ing all over the country. A very far more de.
ciJed tone of confidence pervades the Wing
press and Wing correspondence from all quar-.
ters of the land, than existed two months, or
even ono month ago. All the grefs aud disap-
pomtments that sprung 80 proiuscly from the
doings of the National Conventions have grad
ually gwen way before the serious dictates of
duty; and the great mass of the Wing partv.
with here and there solitary exception, are
now prepared to bury all past differences, and
stand together under the old banner, upborne
by Winfield Scott, in a common struggle for
the victory. All personal d>trnst of the chosen
otandnrd-hearcr, has long since utterly dsan.
peared. Our political opponents unscrupu-
ous as many of them are. no longer venture
TO call IN question his devotion to the compro
misses of the Constitution. They have n, last
become thoroughly sensible of The ridiculous
folly OF making comparisons, on this score. be
