THE WHIG NOMINATIONS.
From the Nfwport (R. ~ Ne,os.


We place at the head of our columns this morn
ing the nominations of the Whig National Conven-
tion AZ Baltimore. The result reached after q
long aud severe struggle the part of the devoted
friends Of the three candidates. Among the people
at large, each of the distinguished gentlemen be.
fore the convention had their thousands of warm
and unyielding friends, all ofwhom nxiously
hoping 10 hear Of the success of their favorite
didate, and, Of course, many were disappointed,
while many others were pleased when the final
result was made known. .
But all this has passed-WINTIELDS ScorT is the
nominee for President Of the United States, and it
is the duty, A. il will be the pleasure, every good
and true Whg. whose faith ia based upon the true
principles Of the party, and whose actions arc in
accordance with the sincerity Of that faith, to rem
der this nomination warm, enthusiastic, and con
stAnt support. until the day Of election, on the
eighth Of next November.
Gen. Scott has always been firm and sonsis-
tent Wing, and he will receive the undivided sup
port of the Wing party. His whole life IL known
to the world, and the distinguished services which
he has rendered to his country, from early youth
at Chippewa and Lundys Lane, through q long
series Of years, down to his triumphant conquest
of Mexico, have endeared his name TO the Ameri
cherished sons The nation owes him a debt Of
profound gratitude, and generous people will
now liqudase obligation which has been con-
stantly increasing for years. There is no doubt
not hesitate in making selection for the highest
Office in their gift between Winfield Scott and
Franklin Pierce.
Aside from General Scott's military abilities, he
possesses talents O. high order; for many yenrs
past he has discharged the arduous duties of his
Department at Washington with the highest credit.
The duties Of that office are such as to require the
mind Of statesman to control and discharge them
successfully, even in time OF peace; II requires the
same kind OF talent as the Treasury, Interior. or
most Of the other Departments; and, in the dis
charge of these duties, Gen. Scott has proved fully
equal to the demand upon him. And he will dis
charge the arduous duties of the Presidency with
the same frmness, patriotiem. and ability which
have characterized all the public acts Of his life
We enter the campaign with energy and conn
dence, knowing that he will surely be the next
President, If ne lives.
The Hon. WILLIAM A. GRAHAM, the candidate
for Vice Presdent, is the present Secretary Of the
Navy. He 10 we'll known as q thorough and ar
dent Wing OF the right stamp, and 10 man OF
strong and commanding talent He has made an
able and popular Secretary, and is most highly
esteemed by all who know him.
With these candidates cure OF success,
and we commence the work of the contest in the
best spirits, and in the full belief that ticket
will be most triumphantly elected. The popularity
of General Scott at the South and West will be
sweep all before him. In fact, the question is set
tled and Ffanklin Pierce will be badly defeated
as was Martin Van Buren in 1910. March onward

The Nominations.
We have spread before our readers full reports OF
the proceedings of the late National Whig Conven-
ton, and given extracts from Wing papers in va
rious sections Of the country, showing that the
nomination of Scott and Graham is generally sat-
isfacory to the Wing party, although as was to
be expected, some disappointment is felt by the
friends Of other gentlemen whose names were be-
fore the convention candidates for the Presi-
dency. AS regards ourselves, we have no hosita-
ton in declaring that the nominations shall receive
our cordial and energetic support, ~ we are fully
assured of the patriotism and sound Whig princ-
Piles of both the candidates, and of their atachmea
TO the Union, and determination 10 support the
Compromise measures of 1880
II 10 well-known to our readers that we were
particularly desirons, in common with the Wing
party Of Maryland. that our present excellent
Chief Magistrate should receive the nomination
for President, as the noble stand he has taken in
carrying out, in good faith, the "Compromise
measures" !" and the able, dignifed, and patriotic
manner in which be has conducted the Govern
ment since he has occupied the Executive chair,
has placed him high in the estimation OF all good
IN the country, without reference to party pre-
dilecuons, and we consequently entertained the
hope that the convention would have again placed
his name before the American people as a candi
da &c for re election.
His friends, however, after protractcd and no.
bic struggle, had 10 yield to circumstances, and
give way to the claims OF General WINFIELD
ScoTT, who, We feel satisfied, the Whigs will find
IN the coming contcst most gallant leader-one
in whom all recognise not only The able, Chi
varic, and successful soldier, but also the iricd
patriot and honest man, in whose hands the honor
and dignity Of the nation will be safe, and who,
we surc, will gallantly defend against all as
saults the glorious Whig Compromise "olatform," ("
on which he and the Wing party have immovably
planted themselves.
In regard TO the nominee for the Vice Presi-
dency, the Hon. WILLIAM A. GRABAN, 1T is only
necessary to say that bis nomination is not only
satisf ictory but gratifying 10 the Wings Of every
section Of the country.
With the names Of Scott and Graham at the
masthead, the Wings enter this contest full OF
hope aud confidence, and we feel assured that they
will give a good account OF thoinselvcs in Novcm
ber nert, as the political skies are bright and
brightning oil around us.
