,,,;s Prudential Nomination.

We publish the following suggestions
from > shrewd and far-seeiBg Wing, with
out at all concurring in the necessity OF the
course indicated therein. We do not be-
lieye there need be any Wing NatioHa!
Conviction held we believe any one
which may be held will be productive of
mischief alone All the States which are
likely to 20 Wing at all including Ken
tueky and Tennessee-will nominate VIA
field Scott by State Conventions, if neces-
sary. and choose Electors 10 vote for him.
And. no matter how the Delegates to
Wing National Convention may be chosen,
Il will nominate Gen. Scott for President.
Such Convention may 90 sundry foolish
and misehievous things-thirgs calculated
10 embarrass the party in the pending can
vass and reduce Gen. SCOTS majority-bu
10 Convention can be got together of which
q majority will vote to run the ship on the
rocks when they might just as we'll carry
her CALAMITY into port with the signal OF TIL
umph streaming at the masthead. PoIu-
clans are prone to maAy perversites; but
that Of preferiing defeat to victory is not
among them So we don't care how the
Delegates may be chosen. However. hear
