To say that Gen Scott nominal on has been

and disgust-would be to state but the simple
truth, in which we will be borne ont by all par

and the efforts that will be made to bring the
wing party in North Carolina up to the support
Of the ticket, and we have no doubt bnt that
these efforts will be successfnlin very many in
stances still we kno,c that there are many in
tel'igent and rejecting wings who cannot either,
be whipped into the traces, or wheed'eed round,
to vote for General Scott. The strictly section
al vote by which he was nominated, and the
startling fact that the Generals most devoted
bady guard of sixty six votes from his strong
holds refused to sustain the platform--all these
facts will weigh heavily against anyelectioneer-

the length of that road, the great distance over

for transhipment at the mouth of the Ohio
