THE WHIG NOMINATION.

It is of some interest to see how the
Southern Wings will accept the " unani.
nous" submission of their Delegates to the
Seward Candidate for President. We have
but few responses as yet. The Savannah
Republican is expressively silent. The
Wilmington Commercial and the Augusta
Chronicle and Sentinel, apparently repu-
diate the handy work of the Convention.
We quote their pronunciamentos below:
The NoMINAr1oN-We confess we are
somewhat excited at the nomination of Gen.
SCOTT for the Presidency, and out of respect
to our readers, refrain from comment under
present impulses. We may be permitted to
say, that The Commercial will not advocate
the election of this nominee, while under
the direction of the present Editor and Pro.
prietor, who will most certainly not vote for
Wilmington Commercial.
TIE WING NoM1NAT1oNs.-lt will be
seen by reference to our telegraphic des.
patches that Gen. Scott, and the Hon. w.
a. Graham, have been nominated by the
National Wing Convention as their candi-
dates for President and Vice President.
The nomination of Gen. Scott under any
circumstances would not have been accep-
table to the people of Georgia. 1t is not,
therefore, to be wondered at, that the news
of his nomination yesterday was not only a
source of deep and heartfelt modification,
but of universal condemnation among the
Wings and Union men of the city. We
have heard of no man-not q single one
who approves it, and unless there is very
great change in public sentiment, few if any
will support him.
In our opinion, he has no claims upon
the country to the distinguished office to
which he aspires; for we regard his military
services as constituting an objection rather
than recommendation. We want a civilian,
a statesman, one who is familiar with the
duties and responsibilities Of that important
office. Gen. Scott cannot be SO regarded
by any impartial mind. In addition to this,
he is the avowed advocate of the annexa-
ton of Canada, unless he may find it expe.
dient to change his views and last, though
not least, he is the candidate of the Free
soil and "higher law" wing of the Wing
party-whose instrument we regard him,
and to whose discretion will be yielded the
distribution of the spoils if he should be
elected. For these reasons we will not sup
port Gen. Scott. r
1t is proper to add that to Mr.. Graham
we have not the slightest objection. He is
distinguished and conservative statesman,
whom we should be pleased to support il
he was more worthily associated.
This position to US is one by no means
congenial to our tastes, we always greatly
prefer to enter the field in an open and bold
fight for him who has been selected as the
standard bearer Of our principles; but tt
Gen. Scott our objections are paramount tt
any considerations Of mere party fealty.

Loss OF WEIGHT IN CoTToN:-1fe 1fessrs
Editors Allow me the use Of your Journal
to call the attention Of the buyers Of cotton,
as well as the sellers, TO the important fact
of the enormous loss in weight on resale IN
the foreign markets, as well as at the North,
of all cotton baled with gunny bagging.
We have sales from Europe, as also from the
Northern ports, of cotton shipped in Dundee
or Kentucky bagging, and the loss in weight.
is trihing compared with that baled in gunny.
cloth. The usual allowance for loss In
weigh, in the calculation made by mer-s
chant, in executing his orders for Europe, is >
per cent, which is considered pretty full
and will cover all the loss in weight on cot /:
ton baled in Dundee or Kentucky bagging,
while the loss in weight from bales in gunnys
bagging has far exceeded in several sales
which have come under our notice double thes'
amount. We know of sales of cotton land
we write feelingly,) received from Europe
and also the Northern ports, at price which
by our calculations should have realized a.
profit of two dollars per bale, show a. debt;
against the shipment in consequence Of thee
enormous loss in weight. The attention of
our planters also is called to this matter; If
they will continue to bale their cotton in .
gunny cloth, they must make up their minds;
for less price per pound for their produce.a
We are determined hereafter to give every
preference in our purchases to cotton baleds
in any other good bagging than gunny cloth.

( The fact was, we had been SO busy with
our thoughts Of the mornings danger
and the enemy's movements, that we hao
forgotten the prize altogether.
1t was now, however, apparent that the
brig.of.war had given up the idea of overta

gallant studding sails Of both Sides"
And away we flew towards the enemy
who, by this time, was lying to in company
with our prize, about ten miles to leeward
The hands were now ordered to clear ship
for action. Yards were slung, and the clues
stoppered with chain grapnels carried to the
yard arms; shot passed up, aud everything
with a rapidity only gained by constant
practice.
As my duty heretofore had been confined
to the cockpit when we were in action, |
felt great curiosity to see how things went
on on deck for once. and accordingly asked
leave to remain on deck until my services
were required below. Our Commodore re.
luctantly consented, but recommended me
to go into the naintop, where | should be
out of the reach of splinters.
We were nearing the enemy fast. The
deputation to wait on the captain stood
abreast the mainmast, and were backed by
the greater part Of the crew, some grumblng
threats, some swearing, some wanting grog,
others talking of taking the vessel-all loud,
boisterous; in short, in open muliny. The
captain walked stately and composedly into
their midst, struck blow or two with the
flat of his cutlass over the heads and ears of
the ringeaders, who were stunned, and fell
rs if dead. He then ordered the men to
their stations; to shorten sail, and, beckon-
ing to me, said, "Doctor, take these fellows
down and bandage their heads quickly, and
send them up to me; shall want :heir SER
vices in about five minutes"
"Do you hear, you sirs! if you are not at
your guns in FIVE minutes, you'll hear from

THE wHIG NOMINATION.

We hare another laborious mountain de-
livered ofits mouse=another National Con.
vcntion assembling, and, with infinite big
sounding phrases taken from the slang die
tionary OF patriotism, selecting the man who
is to lead them OH in the next charge upon
the United States Treasury. The Demo-
Gratis chose man who had scarcely been
mentioned beforehand; the Wings have Sc
lected that one against whom majority of
their party had declared unforgiving hostili-
ty. Yet, on the one hand, no sooner was
that man nominated when nobody was COM
missioned by the people to vote for, than all
the faithful organs sounded forth, "excel-
lent! the very best possible choicep and on
the other, no sooner is the man nominated
against whom majority of the Wing Con-
vention is pledged and instructed, than the
still dissentient members swear fidelity, and
the choice is declared unanimous Such is
party, and of such stuff is fabricated the
honors which the people shower on distin-
guished merit!
Will the Wing party ratify the choice OF
the Convention! We answer, yes, with
scarcely a note of dissent Those who
think differently, do not consider that the
real question in the next Presidential elec.
ton, is simply which of the two parties
shall have the spending Of fifty millions a
year, for the next four years. Those who
dream that any portion of the Wings will be
backward at taking tickets in this great
lottery, will find out their mistake in short
time.
And in regard to their chances for the
purse, the Wings have chosen wisely. Gen
Scott has more strength than either OF his
competitors. Mr. Fillmore is a dull, decent
sort of man, whose superiority consists in
his having grown up like n bunch of grass
on the hillock of Gen. Faylors grave.
Otherwise he would have been a very COM
mon grass. Mr.. Webster is superanuated

Ing the leaders of his own party, has ended
by 'fashy imitation of Gen. Cass, in max
ing faces at all the foreign nations that were
either so feeble or so far off as to deprive
the grimace of all danger or meaning.
Neither Of these men have any hold on the
people, or could make a respectable run
against Democratic nominees. We do not
believe that Gen. Scott can be elected, but
he has great deal of positive strength, and
is surrounded with the specious tinsel that is
so easily taken for gold, and he will give his
adversaries trouble. If they beat him, it
will be by hard work and good conduct
