pWe place at the head Of our col

the Wing National Convention at Bal
timore. The result was reached after
long and severe struggle on the part of
the devoted friends Of the three candi-
dates. Among the people n, large, each
Of the distinguished gentlemen before
the Convention had their thousands Of
warm and unyielding friends all Of whom
were nnxiously hoping TO Ecar Of the
success Of their favorite candidate,-
and. OF course, many were disappointed,
while many others were pleased, when
the final result was made known.
Blu, all this has passed-WiNriELD

OF the United States, and it's the
duty, rs il will be the pleasure. Of ev-
cry good and true Wing, whose faith is

Gen. Scott has always been firm and
consistent Whig, and.h he will receive the
undivided support Of the Wing party
His whole lie is known to the world,
and the distinguished services which he
has rendered TO his country, from early
youth a, Chippewa and Lundy's Lane,
through a long series Of years, down TO
his triumphant conques, OF Mexico, have
endeared his name to the American peo-
pie, and made him one Of Americas
most cherished SONS. The nation owes
him debt Of profound gratitude, and a
generous people will now liquidate an
obligation which has been constantly in
creasing for years. There is no d. ubt
as to his election, for a discriminating
people will not hesitate in making Sc
lection for the highest Office in their gil,
between Winfield Scott and Franklin
Pierce.
Aside from General Scott's military
abilities, he possesses talents Of high
order for many years past, he has dis

such as TO require the mind of a states
man to control and discharge them sue
cessfully, even in time Of pence it re-
Quires the tame kind Of talent as the
Treasury, Interior or most Of the other
DEPARTMENTS ,-and in the discharge OF

OF the right stamp, and is n man of
strong and commanding talent. He has
made and able and popular Secretary,
and ia most highly esteemed by all who
know him.
With these candidates, we are sure Of
success, and we commence the work
Of the contest in the best Spirits and in
the full belief that our ticket will be most
triumphantly elected. The popularity
Of Gen. Scott at the South and West
will be immense, 10 such an extent, even,
that he will sweep all before him. In
fact, the question is settled, and Frank
lin Pierce will be as badly defeated as
was Martin Van Buren, in 1910. March
onward.
