with loud and sincere acclamations all over
this wide country, anil the heart Of the mas
ses beats in unison with the feelings Of that .
body Of men whose labors resulted in the
choice ofscott and Graham as the standard
bearers OF thcWhig party Of the Union.
/ Thi5is at it should be. 1t was what was
anticipated by the friends Of General Scott,
and it was for this that they 50 noblT and
faithfully labored to procure his nomination.
Gen Scott sill be the next President of
the United States. The ratification meet
ings which have been held in all parts Of the
country point uncrringy to this result
There has been no effort needed to obtain
the presence Of the people. Upon the short
est notice, they have come Of their own ac-
cord, without any previous political excite
msnt, to Join in The general feeling Of joy
which spread over the Union, when the
lightning carried the result Of the delibera-
tions Of the Convention into every State,
county and village. And they have come in
their might They have exhibited the ut
most enthusiasm and have not felt doubt Of
the final result. Il not this the harbinger
Of success!
In this country, the result connot be 9th
erwise. The party leaders and party press
may heap their defamation upon the gallant
soldier and true patriot; they may not feel
ashamed OF the course they may deem prop
er to pursue; il will only add to the strength
of our candidate and nerve the people to
greater efforts in his behalf. The man who
has spent his life in the service Of his coun-
try and has successfully performed erery duty
committed to his charge, will not be forsak-
en- BY the generous citizens Of this Republic,
who know so well how to reward distinguish
ed public services and an earnest and lofty
patriotism. If We dared to doubt this, we
would lose confidence in the security Of our
public institutions in protecting the reputa-
ton of their most distinguished and devoted
, supporters.
5 No honor orreward that can be bestowed
upon the popular candidate for the Presi-
dency, can be unworthi!y bestowed. His
past lifeis the surest guarantee that whatev-
er future trusts may be confded into his
hands, will be religiously and sacredly guard
ed. He has not only performed his duty,
but has never attempted to exceed the pow
ers with which he has been clothed. AS
soldier, he has discharged bis duty, his whole
duty and nothing but his duty, winning i'm
perishible laurels for himself and adding to
the greatness and reputation of his country;
: and wheneverhe has been calledupon to ex-
ecute trust in any other capacity, the rec
ords in our national archives will sEow that
D he has been equally ruccessfui in accom-
: plishing whatwas committed to his care.
We speak with an nbiding faith in the
, virtue of the people and with the fullestcon-
: fidence in the ability and patriotism Of our
= candidate. His enemies and the enemies OF
2 his country may rail on; they may vent their
chagrin at his nomination in efforts to black
= eli and destroy his reputation; they may mu-
e tilate his letters and dstort his oPiniOns;they
may, in their despair, descend below the dig
nity of the midnight robber who scorncd 70
take the medal which had been presented
y to the distinguished soldier by the gratitude
= of his country;-itwill all avail nothing
i, The people will rally around and protect AM
in support him, as he has so nobly and faithful.
O. protected and supported the stars and stripe
~ ~ of his country, and in their patriotism wi
;s defend him from the assaults OF lks enemic
0. as in his patriotism, he so successfully Dc
g Tended our common country. His last bal
u tie with the enemies Of law and order, {
American honor and American Interests
will be the most glorious of tl.ell al, unles
st indeed some unforeseen exi:cncy shoul
plunge us into another War, when like tn
tn great Washington he would resume hsswo
to yindicate his country and protect her pee
a pie. ,.,.,-
The Wing fires burn brightly upon ever
e. hill top and in every val. in our lane
But there is no time to be lost. Immediat
" and earnest efforts should ct once be made
The campaign is short one; we must i'm
I! tate the example of our gallant leader an
proceed at once into the thit kcst Of the fgf
$ -rallying our forces as we move along
So neryine them to deeds ofyulor by the stirrin
notes of our candidates-drving the enem
n before us-dislodging them from every pos
ss- ton and thus achieve complete and impo
= tantvictory. Wings Of Old Fairfield! Pus
