sane man can read in the signs of the times anything
wherein base hope of the election OF Gen. Scott, we
confess that he has faculty of seeing vouehsafed TO

body who knows anything OF the present state OF the
country can but that were the prospects OF a
candidate darker more discouragng than those Of
Gen. Scott.

support OF their ticket; while the wing party, with but
four States under their CONTROL distracted and divided

by the assertion that they authorized TO express
positive opinion that Gen. Scott will be the next Pres

that their readers do. This sage conclusion is proessed
y based upon the fact that parcel OF irolicksome
young fellows want TO get up meeting at Niagara, or
Lundys Lane, some other spot where they enjoy
grand jofcaton before their departure for SAT- riu.
This is the sign upon which certain sage 9uidnunes,
OF the guid pro quo ORDER specializing and endeayo

the fate OF General Scott and his Seward associates and
advocates is sealed. All the Ratification meetings
