tray the cause of Free Soil, but more eff
ciently served it. they will act with US
tbi, time in support Of the candidate they
then preferred and whose election they
still deem desirable. We have strong
hopes, not only of Ohio, but of every
North Western State-lndana, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Iowa-and while we do not
claim Illinois, we do not despair of carry
ing her. As to Pennsylvania and New
Jersey, we can hear of no active, intelli-
gent Wing in either who doubts that they
will vote for Scott and Graham. As to
our own State, she is quite as certain for
Gen. Scott as she was for Gen. Harrison
at any moment prior to the counting of
the votes.
In the East, there is feeling of personal
disappointment and soreness among the
friends of Mr.. Webster in Boston, but it
does not pervade the State. From Wor-
cester, Lowell, New Bedford, Pittsfeld,
&c. we have assurances that all is right
not merely that what is done is acquiesced
in, but that it is felt to have been the best
that could be done. Massachusetts will
choose Scott Electors by not less than
10000 plurality, and we think by 10000.
Vermont will give more than 5000 for
Scott, and we hope for 10000. Connec-
ticut and Rhode Island will be sharply con-
tested, but they will vote for Scott. Of
Maine we know nothing as yet but that
the Wings are united and filled with hope
by the nomination, and that they will try.
We can see more clearly as to Maine after
her September Election.
Looking South, there is no doubt as to
Delaware, and the Wings of Maryland,
North Carolina and Kentucky are united
on the Nominees, and speak with entire
confidence of the result. Virginia, too,
despite the preference of Mr.. Fillmore
cherished by many of her Wings, will poll
a larger vote for Gen. Scott than she ever
yet has done for any Wing candidate.
Tennessee has not yet been heard from to
much purpose, but we don't believe she
can vote against Gen. Scott. Too many of
her brave sons have served under him in
Mexico and elsewhere to allow so good
Wing State to be thrown against him at
the only chance her People will ever have
to show their admiration of the Hero who
has done so much for his country.
In South Carolina and Georgia, how
ever, there is q hitch somehow, and it now
seems that Gen. Scott will have to be elect
ed without the help of those States. Since
South Carolina has never yet formed a
Wing Electoral Ticket, her GOODNESS is not
vital; but Georgia does sometimes 90
Wing, when we have enough without her;
and this may have given rise to hopes that
she would do so this time. But the coali-
ton of Cobb, Toombs and Stephens in the
Union saving business evidently contem-
plated different disposition of the Electo-
raj Vote of the State, and their arrange
ment will probably be carried out. Messrs.
Toembs and Stephens have telegraphed to
their disciples at home not to indorse the
Wing nomination and their orders have
thus far been obeyed. 1t is now evident that
Georgia was not in good faith represented
in the Convention-that there was at no
time any intention on the part of her I'm
ion Wings of abiding by the result of the
ballotings. Hear the comments of their
leading journals:

dates Nay more-he has been kept before the people
for months with paddock upon his lips and his princi

needless to say, that neither we the Wings of
Georgia can support him.
