the indomitable courage of the bird that sat uG-

the action and forced each of their opponents 10
surrender. A silver medal was struck by order
of Admiral Berkeley; it was hung upon the neck

around the prncely halls Of Goodwood, passed

FEpERALIsT "A New Hampshire paper un-
dertakes to stigmatze Gen. Scott by calling him
a "Federalist' 1t does not condescend to inform
us what sort of n Federalist, ''black-cockade' or
"blue-light." If either Of these, if history does
not lie and people are not inconsistent, he should
be very popular in New Hampshire; for the
Granite Hills were very prolific of both these sorts
of Federalsts. ts A\
Gen. Scott was a supporter of Mr.. Jefferson,
and received his first commission Mt his hands
He was the friend and supporter of Mr.. Madison
and Mr.. Monroe, and received from both these
great men the most distinguished marks Of friend
ship and honour. He was pre-eminently the hero
of the war of 1912, and his body was loaded with
British lead If his support of Jefferson, Madison,
and Monroe, and his overwhelming defeats of the
British, constitute him Federalist, he is one Of
the rankest to be found! Richmond Wing.
Mr. GRAHAM. This gentleman, who has been
nominated by the Whig National Convention for
most promising of our young American statesmen.
He is an honor to his native State of North Caro-
lina and true and tried Southern Whig. He
has administered the Navy Department with
high credit to himself and with great satisfaction
to all those with whom he has had official inter-
course. He has stood, throughout the troubles
of the country by the side of that eminent patriot
Millard Fillmore. Mr.. Graham would adorn any
station, and if he had been nominated for the first
office instead of the second, we should have giver
him cheerful support. Richmond Republican
GENERAL WINFIELD SooTT.-We trust that the
nomination of this distinguished patriot will unite
the Wing party in an earnest and Jealous en-
deavor to secure the success of the Whig candi-
dates. Every man should now put his shoulder
to the wheel; and we hope that many Democrats
will unite with the Wings in assisting to elect as
Chief Magistrate man who will do honor to his
country, and make a President upon whom we
can rely and who will be true and faithful to the
Union and the Constitution.
We also announce the name of WILLIAM A.
GRAHAM, Of North Carolina, as the Whig candi
date for Vice Observation-Disclosures Gazette.
