Nos. Of yesterday was spent by the Wing National
Convepton debating the Instructions to be given
committee OF from each State. whose duty it
viii be devise and present platform, or the prin-
eiplss of the parry. During the discussion, il was
rendered. apparent that the Uuiou wings would not
consent ballot for candidate PRIOR 10 the settle
E.ent u the Wig creed. They have very properly
dx.en TO pui'd the pa form first, and place the
nominee L, ION it Afterwards The pro position TO APP
point the uaaittee was earned by an oyerwAeim-
ig majority, being 1913 yeas to 10 nays. This was

and each delegate votes for himself, then the
Unonists will be in the ascendancy, without
doabt. Thu debate was piquant. warm, and spicy
and the whole proceedings strengthen our previous
convictions tnat Gen. Scott will not be the man.
His prospects were blasted by the nomination OF
Pierce b. the democrats. The majority of the
wings now see the necessity 0. pacing themselves
won strong constitu oual grounds, and OF selecting
q candidate suitable for the times--a man whose
priuc Piles are known upon all Che Important ques-
items Of the day. They know that their very ex-
istsnce az u party depends upon this. Fillmore may
get the nomination but the prospects are far more
favorable for Webster. If the convt ntion does not
breas mp in a row, Of which there are now some in
dcations, it is likely that the baottng will be COM
Ranced today, after which it would not be surprs-
Mg to learn hat the Seward faction comprising the
free seiI portion of the Scott men, had wthdra WI
entie, from the field, with the intention Of setting
up FOL themselves.
No better evidence Of the unanmity Of the de-
mociacy is wanting than the fact that Col. jeff
Davis and Gov Foote both stumping it in
Mississippi in behalf Of Pierce and King. This is
q fraterrization that could hardly have been ex-
pscted between these late bitter opponents for the
Covernorshp, on the Southern rights and Union
tickets In short. the democrats are perfectly
sohosed, with the bare exception of the detection
CT Rantoul of Massachusetts, and his loss would
