We can tell Mr.. Loring that " the politicians ,vu
saya great deal about this NATTER and thew will shane
it, in the end, according to their own wishes The
Raleigh Regster-the organ of the Wing party of The
State-is already committed to the opinion that Gen.
Scott is sound on the subject of the " Compromise"
as may be seen by reference to that paper CT the 18th
of March last-Mr. Mangum has declared that no
Wing but Gen. Scott can be elected, and that the
preference of the Wings of this State for Mr. Fill.
more is not ''wise preference''-and Mr. StanIy
IS kno,Os'' Gen. Scott to be sound on the "comprO
mise,' fugitve-slave law and all. And besides, is
the Editor of the Commercial quite that none Of
the State Delegates appointed BY the late Wing Con-
vention to Baltimore, are for Gen. Scott : What
will the Editor say, if one, two, If the whole
State Delegation should drop Fillmore and go for
Scott the first opportunity that occurs, at Baltimore!
By the way, it strikes us that the late Wing Con-
vention was not very strongly impressed with the
" knowledge of which Mr. Stanly boasts, in relation
to Gen. Scott's opinions on the Is compromise" Mr..
Stanly may have " known' great deal, but Mr.
Stanly, it appears, was not " believed
