Before receiving further intelligence and without
being able to anticipate the probable result Of their
deliberations We congratulate our democratic friends
that the Convention, thus far, has exhibited the most
auspicious indications of thorough union and organ
zation Of the Democratic party throughout the
try. Its tone," says the Sum- neuEal paper, is
decidedly healthy. patriotic and national in the broad
est sense; and We have reason to believe that the
nomination will, under present auspices. be one that
cannot fail to command the appreciation of the whole
party and the confidence of both wings and demo-
Gratis in the event of successful ISSUE"
P.S. By Teleaaphic despatch, in another column,
We have intelligence up to Thursday night. There
had been seventeen baottings and it is stated that
the fugitive slave law will certainly be endorsed.
GEN. SCOTT'S MANAGERS.
The following is from the last New York Express,
Whig paper; it presents graphic picture Of Wing
Z" harmony" shows up the game that Seward & Co.
are playing, the Scott managers, and states that
the real object is 10 keep up the anslavery excite
ment by adding to it the military reputation Of Gen.
Scott and upon that to prepare the way, in 1856, for
Gov. Seward & Company-upon a sectional slavery
storm -
"Do YOU DESIRE TO ELECT GEN. ScorT! 1t has
been stated with much of plausible demons
ta,ion, that the Seward Co. Journals of this State
do desire elect Gen. Scott, but through the aid
of his military reputation to keep up and add to, an
anti-savery excitement in the free States which may
prepare the way for Mr.. Seward. Their action their
editorial articles, their conduct generally give force
to such assertion. They stick to Gen. Scott like
the shirt Of Nessus and that is shirt every body
knows, that killed everything it touched: They
claim to put his nomination upon the ground, that
it will be condemnation of Mr.. Fillmore. For in
stance, tho pet correspondent Of the Tribune, Mr..
Pike, writes from Washington, Mr.. Fillmore will
be slid of the tail Of the cart without CEREMONY,
and this writer breathes the spirit of the whole set
Now, it is very easy to see,-that, if Gen. Scott
was be nominated, he could not in this spirit, be
elected that is 10 say, he could not carry the State Of
New York-where Mr.. Fillmore, it will be admitted,
has some few friends, whose votes may be necessary
especially, if We remember that Gov. Hunt was re-
elected by only about $50 majority. These friends
without cssemony, would be very apt. on Election
day, at least to stay away from the pols,-and not
by their presence endorse the ceremony.
Again, Miard Fillmore is man-with the natur-
al passions of man We Prssume.-and 80, in all
probability. is Daniel Webster.-and so the Posmas-
ter General, to say nothing of the rest Of tho Cabi-
net, who all have more or less power in their respec
tive positions. Now it is we'll understood, that in
" sliding Mr.. Fillmore out of the cart without cere-
mony," all these respectable gentlemen are to be
slid out, with like want Of ceremony,-and that a
Cabinet under Seward and Johnstons organization

If there be any one fact clear, it is clear, that the
,choe Whg party is necessary to elect President,
the Whig party South and North, East and West.
Notwithstanding this reliable fact, Mr.. Mangum, one
Of Gov. Seward's instruments, began at Washington
in ruling out of order the Whg Compromise Princi-
pies of Fillmore, Clay and Webster. and so ruling
out of Caucus eleven Of the most effective Southern
Wing members Of. Congress. To keep the party as
unit, after this performance, these eleven Whig
gentlemen have been thoroughly denounced. and to
what they deemed injury, has been added insult in
many quarters of the country.
Well, the Southern country being well Purged Of
Wings by this performance, this MIR. Pike now un-
der the direction of Seward, Mangum & co. begins
upon the Northern Whig party. IS Mr.. Fillmore will
be slid of the tail Of the cart. and we are told.

will 90 to work. without Whig party South. be-
yond what Mangum & Co. can raiae. which won't
be single county in the State Mangum comes from
-and without Fillmore and ebsters friends in the
North, to elect Gen. Scott President!
Now, do such men, such managers, really, and at
heart, desire the election of Gen. Scott! Certainly
not II is the old trick played of in this State with
Henry Clay, in 1914. No. the real object is to keep
up the anti-savery excitement, by adding to it the
military reputation of Gen. Scott, and upon that to
prepare the way, in 1856, for Gov. Seward Il Co.
