THE pREsIDENrIAL NOMINATIONS At THE SOUTH

THE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATIONS AT THE SOUTH.
with the exception of one newspaper in Tennes-
nessee Cat Knoxville)we have not received single
wing paper from any Southern State, except
Georgia, that refuses to support the nominations
for President and Vice President lately made by
the Wing National Convention On the contrary,
they promptly and manfully place the names Of the
candidates at the head Of their columns and promise
to give them cordial and hearty support The
following article from the Eufaua (Aa.) Shield is
in the right spirit: 81. @ @

labors in its wisdom and discretion has deemed it i'm

when convinced that he is right, goes ahead
Lastly We will support him because are convinced
that the reorganization Of old parties at the South is in
evitable He is Wing, has always been one, and ex
poets always be therefore would prefer defeat
with our friends than triumph with enemies.
These some Of the why will support the
statesman, hero, and patriot fully confident that if the
Wings will unite, they should in the susainance Of
such and such principles, of the most brilliant
victories will be that recordedin the history
of our country. Recoect the language of him who said

The WIG NoMINEEs.-In another column we give the
platform of principles adopted by the Wing National Con-
venon, together with the response by portion of the
Wing press to the nominations So far all looks well No
campaign within our recollection has opened hatter

to support Gen. scorT, and occasionally find indivd

Der the reception Of the nomination Of Gen. HARRISON
over HENRY CLAY, in 1840 and the marked dissatisfac
ton of large portion of the Southern Wings will feel
small uneasness for the final determination of the present
discontents They viii be compelled support either
Scott, Pierce nobody; and know well the

moment that they be driven into the support of Lo-
cofocosm, to give "ad and comfort to the enemy by
standing aoof merely because they did not get their
fayorite candidate Such would be virtual
acknowledgement that they held in higher regard than
principles. We say again to Wing friends, all looks
well so far and we should not be at all surprised Scott
receives vote equal to that Of Harrison in 1S40
