Srnatur Badger.

The Hon. GEO. e. BADGER, Senator OF the
United States from North Carolira, and one Of
the purest ahd most independent men in the coun-
try, has written long letter in reply to an inv-
tation to address the Wing Club of Raleigh. He
says that no man was more disappointed, not to
say dissatisfied than lie was when Mr.. FfLLMoRb
was passed over /; but he is nevertheless ga de-
citled and uery earnest supporter of the Wing
national nominations" The following words
Should come home to every Wing who still stands
! aloof, if there is one such to be found:
1t appears, then, sir, to me, as Mr.. Fillmore has
said. that Gen. Scott is 'entitled to the support of
every true Wing" Surely we ofthe South may
we'll confide in him. Born and reared in South
ern State, accustomed to slavery from his infancy,
having his relations and the friends of his youth
here, what is there in the antecedens Of his early
life to Justify distrust2 Honorable in his princi-
pies. true 10 his engagements, and shown In his
mast life to be far removed from all that has the
appearance of fraud or duplicity brave soldier,
a true patriot. with his name renowned through
out the world for what is noule and lofty and gen.
erous, he cannot but be found faithful in every fll-
,ure rs he has been in every past emergency
He is a Wing, a ,cclLkno,rn. tong-tried Wig;
he holds our opinions and aoiu maintain ON meas
nres in the administration ofpuLtic affairs. Let
us. then, either gire him our support Or else &C
kno,clcdge that there is nothing raiuable in WMg
principles, and desosye o,r party organisation at

Movements Of Gen. Scott.

Gen. SCOTT and sute were at Frankfort, Ken
tucky, on the 3Oth ult. His object in visiting the
west at this time is to select site for Military
Asylum, under an order of the Government
But wherever he has gone he has been received
by the people with the utmost enthusiasm: He
was present at the great Agricultural Fair at Paris
on the 29th, and the Hon. G. w. WILLIAMS in
troduced him to the multitude. On the 29th he
was received at Lexington by deputation of cit-
zens, and welcomed by Gen. COMBS in brief
speech.
'Gen. Scott replied, thanking the citizens for
their warm reception, but excusing himself from
making lengthy address on the plea of excessive
fatigue. In the course of his speech he alluded
touchlngiy to Mr.. Clay's death, and was evident
" much affected. His warm personal frend,'
ne said Il am here almost in sight of the venera-
ted shades of Ashland and of the last resting place
OF the greatest of American statesmen To stand
on such spot must be sufficient to affect any one
acquainted with the public character and private
virtues OF that great man. How much more deep
y, then, must it touch the feelings of one who had
known him intimately, and been with him as
colaborer in the cause of his country He con-
cluded with more extended culogy upon the life
and services of Mr.. Clay, and retired amid loud
applause.
Seen. Wool was also called Upon and made
brief speech, abiding 10 Mr. Clay, and thanking
the citizens for the Kindness with which they had
treated himself and chief during their progress
through Kentucky"
At Frankfort Generals Scorr and Wool were
addressed by the Hon. JAMES HARLAN, and both
of them replied in suitable terms. Gen. Wool
was taken in charge by a large body of Democrats.

Wing ExTRAvAGANcE.-The I,ocofocos arc
very fond Of talking about the extravaganza of a
Wing administration 1t is well known to every
tyro in politics that all money for public uses must
be appropriated by COngreSs;-the Executive can
not take cent without that authority. The Heads
Of Departmental the beginning of sessions, submit
estimates of the amount that the public service
will require. At the commencement of the last
session. such estimates We're submitted. They a
mounted to the sum Of S26,046 500 but the
Democratic Congress added 81 ,O55,7l2, over and
beyond what was called for by the Administration.
This statement we take from the National Intel
lgencer OF the 25th-a perfectly reliable arthori-
"; and it exposes. in its true light the real squan
derers of the public money.
The Locos are very boisterous in 'procaiming
that the Wings have spent fifty millions. Their
object in this is two-old: to damage the Wings in
public opinion and if they should succeed, then
they ght have the precedent for sluandering that
among thenSclves.-Jphig.

The Canvass.

From various parts of the State we have relia-
BILE information of the popular sentiment in refer
ence to the two candidates for the Presidency,
which should stimulate every Wing in this region
to aid in delivering the old Commonwealth from
the thraldom of L0cofocoism. The principles for
which we contend, and the traduced but still noble
chieftain of our catse, worthy Of our best
tons.
We publish in another place, few more cards
from Kanawha, and the Wytheville Telegraph of
the 29th uIt., in corroboration of Intelligence from
other sources, says
"We venture nothing in saying that, if the
Wings of Southwestern Virginia will promptly
organize themselves, 90 to work with spirit wor-
thy the noble causelin which they are engaged,
and make proper use of the means at their dispo-
sal, ''Little Tennessee" which has usually given
Democratic majority of about 1000, and which
gave against Summers LESS THAN ONE HUN
DRED, will give for ScorT s GRAHAM major
ity of not less than FIVE HUNpRED. We are
moreover firmly persuaded that VIRGINIA is
WING, and that if the strength of the party is
rallied, if every man, who calls himself Wing,
will do his duty, and his ,ehote duty. the Novem-
Der election will prove it, by giving the electoral
vote of the State to Scott & Graham.

A HARD Hr.-The following is q copy of a
hand. bill posted up in all the conspicuous places
in the city of Manchester, New Hampshire, at the
time Gen. Pierce passed through that place ON his
return from Mexico. The reader will see that
Gen. Pieces faintings in battle,aS the Democrat
ic papers contend, were not made the subject of
merriment merely because he has been nominated
for the Presidency, but were publicly rldiculed by
his own neighbors on his return from Mexico:
The agents of the several corporations in this
city are earnestly requested to prohibit their con-
tractors from blasting any stone on Thursday, the
9th instant, while the cars containing the
remains of the gallant Pierce, who fell in
the attack upon the city of Mexico, are passing
through the city lest, in consequence of some
constitutional difficulty. the General should faint
again. "-Fm,klin Repository

o. The Democratic papers are publishing list
of officers, in the Mexican war who will not vote
for Scott Now ,as most Of these officers were NOM
mated by President Poll, land were of course Dem

yet retain their party preferences. The list is
merely list of Democrats who have not yet broke
the party shackles. The only wonder is that the
