MORE BOLTlNG.

Mr.. Loring, of the Wilmington Commercial, no.
tices the nomination of General Scott in his paper oi
Tuesday last in the following strain:
"THE NOMINATION. We confess that we are
somewhat excited at the nomination of Gen. Scott
for the Presidency. and out of respect to our read
ers. refrain from comment under present impulses
We may be permitted to say however, that the Com
merciai will not advocate the nominee. while unde
the direction of the present Editor and proprietor

This is TIE feeling of hundreds of Wings in NORTH
Carolina. Mr.. Miller's high-soanding pledge otter
or twelve thousand majority for Gen. Scott in th''
State, is not likely be carried out; but on the con

have no doubt they will, the State is certain TO

BACKING OUT IN ADVANCE. Mr.. Gentry, a Wing
member of Congress from Tennessee, in az eloqueat
Speech, on the l4lh instant, in the House Of Repre-
sen.atves, said empha,icay that if Gen. Scott were
nominated, and he thought one mans vote OF one
mans influence were necessary to cast the vote of
Tennessee for Pierce and King. his voice and his
vote should be given to them unhesitasingly. And
such we have to believe is the sentiment Of
thousands Of honest Wings In North Carolina, in
cluding some of their most prominent and able men.

DAVID s. REID.

David S. Reid is Of the people, reared in hum.
Die lite, pain and unostentatous in his manners, with
no higher ambition than to discharge faithfully the
duties imposed upon him. His elevation to office has
not altered his free, familiar manner Calm and col.
ected, he Pursues the course dictated by his clear
reasoning and sound Judgment. confidently relying
upon the intelligence and honesty of the people, Fol
the two years that he has presided as chief
OF the State. not single murmur of dissatisfaction
with his official course has been heard-except tina,
the Raleigh Register, the organ Of political cod6s,
aristocracy, did once twice complain Of his hatnR
degraded his high position of Governor by carrying
home in his own hand some vegetables or string
Of fishes from market, instead Of sending servan,
to do it! No doubt he did this in the simplicity Of
his republican nature and the Register will find it
rather difficult matter to make the people believe it
would not be better for them if more Of their public
servants were disposed to wait upon themselves.
AS tie chan lon OF Free Suffrage Gov. Reid has
placed himself at the head of the advocates Of popu-
lar rights. In him we find none Of that fiery inpet.
uosity, that ashness, that cratic flashing that char
acterizes his competitor; but COOL clear and rigidIy
systematic, aided by his good sound practical sense,
he unfods the treasures of his well stored mind in
rejecting portion of the community. The more you
hear him the deeper do you find him. Mr.. Kerr's
speeches will do to listen to; but those of Gov. Reid
will do to reflect and study. Mr. Kerr has wild,
visionary mind that piunges into schemes and meas
ures without due reflection; Gov. Reid is emnentIy
practical man, and weighs we'll, in all its aspects.
whatever he undertakes. Free and open in all his
opinions and views, he seeks to rise to Office BY
evading important questions, and by demagoguical
IS ifs y" and " buts.''
We have drawn the two men as we believe them
to be- and have spoken only the honest convictions
our heart. We believe Gov. Reid to be safe man ;
We regard Mr.. Kerr as unsafe. These being our
opinions we have expressed them freely, and will
ingIy accord 70 others, who may differ with u.s. like
expression of their sentiments.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

Some OF the Wing papers pretend that the resolu-
tlons adopted by the Baltimore Convention, were
smugged through. and not fairly and honestly adop.
ted The New York Journal Of Commerce, a neutral
paper, puts stop the circulation of this alsehood
in the following manner:
The greatest solicitude was felt Throughout: the
whole canvass in regard to the platform. Mr.. Henry
Z. Murphy. of Now York, represented in the coai-
m'ttee on resolutions the New York delegation.
Each State had also its delegate. The resolutions
Were printed, and ready to be presented the day
before Gen. Pierce's nomination; and although pub
Iiclty was not intended to be given to them until
their ADOPTION copies in manuscript of the resolution
g to abide by and adhere to- the Compromises, in.
GLIDING the Fugitive Slave Law. and declaring shat
the latter should not be amended so to impair its
etcacy-were in possession of members, and freely,
though in confidence, exhibited and not only lis
tenor, but its Phraseoogy vas generally known. One
OF the editors OF this paper examined that resolution
In manuscript, and procured it to be by another.
SO earnest was the feeling as the Platform, that
there was, we venture to say, scarcely member of
the Convention, or a prominent outsider, wto did
not distinctly know that the principle of the Fugitive
Slave Law had been endorsed by the resolutions adop
ted in committee. 1t was certainly we'll known to
the New FORK delegation and their prominent friends.
The question on their adoption put Immediately
after the enthusiastic nomination of Mr. King Vice
President. The attendance full-he in their
favor enthusiasiic-and when the negative called,
'hefe were not over tour or hve responses. lhey
were so distinctly heard that they contributed in
great degree to give effect to the vote in the afma
tive being the of ninety nine out of every
hundred delegates. The resolution in regard to the
Compromise was read distinctly; its reading was
called fora second time, and the clerk addressed him
self to the quarter of the house from which the call
proceeded sit was read third the to another por
ton of the house, third call. There can be no
question that clearly understood, and voted for
with an unanimity which placed irrevocaby among
the great principles which firmly to be upheld by
| the Democratic party. The letter published by us
on Saturday from leading Barnburner of this State,
shows that opposition it is not any longer, if it
vas. of the objects of the Barnburners that
they intend merely to prevent the extension of slave
ry 10 new territories. and that Gov Marcy sup
ported, because he meant to give effect to the Com
promises of the Constitution"

STRONG VIEWS.


We copy the following from the Baltimore Sun
of the 18th instant. Let Southern Wings read and
ponder:
Messrs. Editors-Will you please insert in your
widely circulating paper, the following pithy remarks
from the New York Herald, upon the Convention
now sitting in this city:
The Vhig Conuention in Baltimore. This very
important body-the representatives of the Wing
party throughout the Union-met to-day in Baiti'
more. Their proceedings will be highly Important.
o. their conduct and their will depend the
future usefulness, well the very existence Of
the Wing party, as national party, hereafter. But
more especially will these results depend on the
Southern delegates.
elf the representatives of the South abandon the
Compromise and the Fugitive Slave Law-if they
submit to the no-platorm policy Of WIN. H. Seward,
impulse and triumph the cause of ntslavery agi-
tation at tho North, that will not only demolish the
whg party in few months, but in few years rend the
Union asunder, and lead to another San Domingo in
the South. If the Southern delegates-any of them
consent to the sacrifice of Fillmore and Webster
in order to crafty the abolition influence of the
North. they may expect general execrasion among
the friends of the Compromise all over the Union.
Can even Mr.. Mangum or Mr. Stanly consent to i'm
molate such men as Webster and Fillmore, OF aban-
don the interests of their constituents. 10 swell
the victory of Seward and aboonists in the North
We hope for better things Of every Southern whig.
"The telegraphic news from Baltimore, for a few
days, will be very interesting."
There is no person in the Northern States who un
derstands public opinion better than the editor of the
Herald, and every word Of the above is true as
| Holy Writ Southern have come here with the
idea that Gen. Scott is popular in New York and the
North, because the Seward party. with nine millions
of canal contracts to give out. have succeeded in
eecting Scott delegates. There never was greater
mistake in the world. He can no more get the elec
,ora vote of New York than Martin Van Buren can.
Nor can he curry single Northern State, excep,
Vermont, and that even is doubtful. II the Southern
delegates abandon Webster and Fillmore now, they
need never again expect Northern to stand up
in their behalf. Ii they sacrifice them to this
halucination or belief in Scotts availability, then
farewell to the Wing party-fareweIl to the Union
The compromise question will be re-opened, and
WHO in the North will dare throw himself in the
breach again to be stabbed by Southern men? We
tell them plainly. and tell them only that which
it is folly to disguise, the North will support
Winfield Scott, even though he be nominated by the
Wing Convention.

We somewhat amazed gentleman day before
yesterday, by assuring him that we could not, and
oosd not vote for the candidate for the Senate nomi-
mated by the Democratic County Convention. He
knew that we always voted the regular Democratic
ticket; and, thinking that must have some enorm-
Gus charge to bring against Mr.. Saunders. asked us
what objection We had to him. None in the world >
we replied. Then why not support him-why is
1t, that you say you not, and will not vote for
him! MY dear sir we replied, we have gener-
ally passed for white, and free-born; can read write
and cypher inditferenty we'll; and modesty apart,
pass for reasonably good citizen; but, then all this
amounts to nothing; can't vote for Senator: ave
haunt got fifty If and' This will do to repre-
sent the position of hundreds of others similarly
situated with us. Whether it is exactly fair and
equa is another thing.
Now, it is true that, for a sum almost nominal, we
might purchase equal rights-we might 90 and buy
fifty acres of swamp land that We have never seen,
nor ever expect to see and then we, personally,
could vote for the Commons, while for the Senate,
we would act In mere representative capacity, hav-
ing fly swamp acres for constituents. But choose
to look for emancipation upon a higher principle;
neither buy equality receive it as gift but as
one of the prescribed class, to urge it as right
behalf OF ourselves, and all others in like manner
offending If but airand reasonable effort be made
in favor of the father of Equal Suffrage for Governor
and similar effort in favor of Equal Suffrage men
for the Legislature, the next General Assembly will
pass the amendment doing away with this restriction
and the action of the Legislature will be promptly
ratified by the people. WI. Journal

q INTERESTING BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES We
publish in the preceding columns. Interesting biog
raphcal sketches of the late Gov. BENJAMIN Pierce
the father, and of Gen. FRANKLIN PIERCE the son
now the candidate of the Democracy for the Office of
President of the United States The Albany Argus,
in publishing these sketches, says:
''These sketches, obviously from the pen of one
familiar with the facts which he presents, and as ob
viously designed to be simple narratives, withou,
flourish or embellishment-possess great interest
this time-and will no doubt be read with avidiy
and qualification. ..-.' =
Though it be no positive merit to have descended
from the Revolutionary stock of New England, or to
have inherited the characteristics of the Hero and
Patriot of that day-itis is nevertheless dsparage-
ent that the sterling qualities of both have only
not been impaired by transmission but have exhibit
ed themselves in renewed vgor and brlliancy in the
descendant. 1t certainly cannot be said of General
Pierce, falsely aud perseveringiy charged
against Mr.. Polk during the of "A, that his
lineage is not Of the true revolutionary stamp-or that
he inherlts the traits which distinguished the enc.
mics of the country in times that tried mems souls.
The facts in both disarm partizan malevoIence
Of at least this weapon of assault, which was in.
dustrousIy employed against the late President Polk
when a candidate. -,. :s....s. .7g.r -...
