Qua NoMINATIoNs. Like thunder5ot from a
clear sky have the nominations of Scott and Ora
ham fallen upon the hopeful leaders OF the hungry
Democracy. Fattering themselves that Webster
or Fillmore were to be our Misunderstanding
that the foul seed which many ofther presses have
scattered profusey through the land, would spring
from its rank bed and choke the growing popu!a
rty of the worlds greatest living soldier-they
confidently anticipated that they would be left
with their "Mustang General'' to reap all the ad
vcntitious advantages of military renown.
But when it was ascertained that their fond an
ticipations had not been reaized-that Scott the
invinciJle was our canddate-their last "hope lin.
gering, flee" and pitiable set of gentle
men cannot now be found the wide world over.
Our friends abroad may rest satisfied that Ten
nessee will do her duty, and her whole duty! She
will be found hurting back in the sanderers teeth
all charges which may reflect upon the honesty
and integrity of Virginia's and the worlds great
est general; and will give him such an overwhelm
ing majority in November next as will shame the
meagre plurality of all former elections. Our old
men and young men are up and at work; and 10y
the time the acceptance of the nomination shall
reach us will be prepared to greet it with such
enthusiasm that the Young Hickories Of the Gran

General Scott is not the choice of the great body
of Wings of the South, but we went into the con
vention, and submitted the claims of our candi-
date, and let US now prove true to ourselves and
our party by supporting in good faith the nominee
of that convention. We should have gloried in
doing battle for that pure statesman and tried pa.
triot, Willard Fillmore, and We believe he could
have been elected, but a majority of the Ma.
tional Wing party, indicated blythe action OF
their chosen delegates thought otherwise, or pre-.
ferred another man, who occupies no equivocal po-
sition upon the question in which the South feels
the deepest interest, and to our mind the duty of
the Wings of the South ia obvious. "Let every
Wing remember his devotion to his country and
his cauae, and forget his preferences for men, Let
fight for principles, not men, and, win or lose,
let be able, after the struggle is over, to feel
that at least we have all faithfully done our duty.
That General Scott possesses the elements OF
strength will not be Denied and that he will
be elected President OF the United States is felt to
be "fxcd fact" even by Democrats. General
Scott is not the man to be defeated; he knows not
what defeat is. He ''c0nt be beat,' and the Demo.
