500 majority. While at Washington, few
days ago, the editor of the New Hampshire
Patriot heard several gentleman from that
State express similar opinion.
A letter from Wisconsin, enclosing the
money for &c copies of the Patriot for the
Campaign, says:--"They say East that Scott
will run we'll in the West. Ispeak only for
Wisconsin, which is good for Pierce and
King by ten thousand majority, beyond any
contingency"
A whig editor says: We advise all wings
who are not yet satisfied of Gen. SCOTS
utter incompetcncy to fill the Presidential
seal, to read his letter accepting the whig
nomination for the Presidency. i that will
not convince them, nothing will.
The campaign lives of Gen. Scott, we be-
live, make no allusion to his duel with DR..
Claude, at New Orleans, Capt. Scott, being
the challenging party, nor to his duel at Nat
chez with DR.. Upshaw, whom he also chal-
lcnged, and by whom he was wounded. 1t
was in the first of these duels that Gen Will
kinson says Capt. Scott "bobbed" after de-
livering his fire.
| Probably the Scott committee will not
circulate the 5000 copies of the Boston Pilot
which they ordered-when they find that
the same edition contains SCOTS original
native letter, in which he inclined to think
foreigners ought not to be natulalized
at all; and also an article showing up the
Wing falsehoods about the Constitution of
New Hampshire.
The Georgia Citizen, of Macon, is the only
Wing paper in Georgia which supports GEN
ernl Scott. Rather small support that, in a
State that polls 95, 900 votes.
When Daniel Webster arrived at Concorcd
Mass, on his way home, he was recognized
and warmly cheered. A Scott, man stand
ing by, proposed cheers for General Scott,
but no response was given, showing him to
be alone in his glory.
Gen. Pratt, of Connecticut, who has the
most extensive experience in the politics of
that State, thinks it all a mistake to put her
down doubtful as many papers have done.
He says:
"The Democracy of Connecticut carried
the State for the Governorship agaiast both
whiggcry and freesoiIism, by 800 majority;
and that there was none who voted the
democratic ticket then who would not vote
with them next fall, but there were hundreds
who voted against them at the State election,
who had determined to vote with them
for P1ERcE and KING"
Messrs. Samuel Hooper and William D
Slocum, of the whig Central Committee, o.
Massf chusctts, have s. mt in their resigna
tons. The Boston Journal in announcing
the fact, only says they are warm friends o
Webster.
The New York Mirror says. "In regart
to Mr.. Webster's =" standing the fire" of thu
American Union Party, who is now surgn&
up in various parts of the country, weven
ture to assert that Mr.. Webster will neither
rebuke nor encourage the action ofhis friends
His position is, and will be, a position Q
"MAsTERLY INACTIVITY"
The Shelby (Ky.) Nsws, whig organ
commenting upon scotts nomination, says
ave love the Union more than party; ant
whether or not we support Gen. Scott vii
depend upon the explicitnsss Of his declara
tions in regard t the compromise--especi
rlly in referance to the fugitive slave law.
The New To,k Day Book, whig paper
says;
1 1t is asserted thatsom many Wing merchant
are asking for admission into Tammany Hall
the Sachems are talking of enlargingit.
! TAKEN UP.-The whig who offers to be
$1,000 that Scott will have 1000 majorit
in Massachusetts: 1000 dollars that he vii
have 1000, and SO on up to 5000 dollars, il
informed that his wager will be taken up o.
application OF the Office of the Boston Dali
Times.
1 The Boston Atlas calls the Webstermel
who oppose Scott and Graham, "fsh Wings.
All who refuse to vote for Scott, then, say
the Times, will be net gain for Pierce.
Some Of the papers "out west" not being
able 10 announce pnblic meetings to ratify
Scott and Graham, do "the next best thing
AS often as truth will permit, and sometime
oftener they state, with becoming gravity
that "Mr. So-aud-So, here, or..."Mr. Some
