ave shall never have the true causes Of the annihi-
latng defeat of Gen. Scott told by the Wing papers.
To do So would amount open confession of their
reckless and uRpatrotc in opening up religious
issue and invoking the vote, while disegardng
and insulting the American sentiment OF the country
Gen. Scott weak before his nomination. because he
had been carcatured by those who most zealously
pressed the nomination. and had been held up vain,
empty and egoiiscal in his character great soldier
as he s-the greatest and successful living
he has always been worsted whenever he engaged in
paper He could fight, but could not write. He
has been mperous and exacng in all his relations
has queruous disposition, which was constantly en-
broiling him in personal difficulties; and without the
ankness which generally characterises the soldier
always suspicious of those around him and jealous OF
all superior authority. More than a year since, we
frankly stated Gov Johnston and his friends that his
of Scott would imperi his the GU
bernatoral campaign and that his speeches in the Gen.
eraPs favor, delivered in this county, would ALLEVIATE
from him many of his former staunchest supporters
The result showed that we were correct Before the
Baltimore Convention met, We stated with firm con-
vicon of the truth of the assertion that Scots nom-
nation would not be acceptable to the American people
that the American Party could not be brought to its
support and that the humiliation of the Wings,
as national party, would be the inevitable conse-
quence Of the rejection of Milard Fillmore The Ameri-
feeling Of this country had made the Union Party
powerful beyond the control of partizan obligations.
Amid difficulties the greatest, aud responsibilities the
most delicate, Mr.. Fillmore, aided by the commanding
talent of Daniel Webster had conducted the govern

challenge the admiration of political opponents. 1t
was fatal mistake to elevate the shadow, Scott

of Whiggery. Fillmore or Webster $3.50 ~
Then, again: The Wing Party has been always held
together by devotion its great leaders, rather than by
any natural cohesion of its sectional particles Mr.
Clay in the slave States, and Mr. Webster in the free

the political preferment of military chietans but twice
before had the Wing Party struck parricida blows at
these reverend leaders of their faith, by nominating
Gen. Harrison and Gen. Taylor The force of strong
attachment their personal friends the party had
duced Clay and Webster 10 give in their slow adhesion
to these nominations though under protest that
they were ''net fit % be made" The Baltimore Con-
vention assembled ;sMr. Fillmore the known choice
Of Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Webster was himself candidate
before it. Again the doctrine Of "expedencyn

was an insult to the two great Whg leaders which they
could forget, and which Tuesday avenged
through the ballot box Mr.. Clay died months
ago, and Mr.. Webster few brief days since. They
