friends in the State to take such course

Of our section"
The Augusta Sentinel concludes
string Of objections. with the following
somewhat emphatic declaration
For these reasons we will not support
Gen. Scott"
The Savannah Republican says Of
Webster and Fillmore:
I'VE could have supported either of these
men with no less pride than pleasure. But
General Sc1tt is very different person.
He has played the part Il silent candidate
and we have had enough 4 silent candid.
a;es Nay nore--he has been kept before
the people months. with a paddock upon
his lips, and is principles in Mr.. Stewards
hreeches pocket. As such IT Us needless to
say that we nor the wings Of Georgia can
support him"
The Wilmington (Nnrth Carolina)4
Journal says:
ITO say that Gen SCOTS snominsfion has
beenreceved with GOODNESS. nay. with anger
and disgust would be but to state the sim.
pie truth, in which we will be borne out by
all parties. We know the power of party
associations, and the efforts that will be
made to uiiHs the whig party in North Car.
oIina up to the support of the ticket, aid
we have no doubt bui that these efforts will
be successful in many instances still we
know that there are many intelligent and
rejecting wings who cannot be either whip
ped into the traces, or wheeled round TO
vote for Gen Scott.--The strictly section
al vote by which he was nominated--and
the atartling fact that the Generals most
devoted body guard Of Sc votes from his
strongholds refuse to sustain the platform
all these facts will way heavily against any
eleciioneering efforts that may hereafter be
made in his favor"

"As for olrselves--the Day Book and its
readers--we never will go for Scott and
Seward. We tell you plainly, and we
speak for ten thousand subscribers in the
Northern States--subscriber who take the
Day Book because the like it and the prin.
ciples it advocates will not support
Gen. Scott if he is nominated. We could
not DO SO without stuIiifying ourselves and
unsaying all We have ever said against the
abolition wing ofwhig party. As far as one,
or two, or three, or hundred individuals
are concerned. it would make but little diff.
ference whether the vote for or against Gen
Scou (aIthough Gov. Hunt was elected by
2l1 yotes) but when we know that what

ald people in this city, and 10 many more
ia the country. who think just as we do
we zee plainly that Gen Scott stands no
more chancc in his State agasnst
Franklin Pierce than Toe do. Horace
Greeley. OF Lewis Tappan, would poll just

Southern brelhern don't believe it let them
do over the Abolitionists and nominate
him."
