Tho Fr.eson Democracy.

5000 N'S'~ -
ocratic party will not support the nominees of that
party.
1t is almost as certain (as may be judged from
an article we quote from the Southern Press
that the State Rights party Of the South will not
support those nominees
Conscious of these facts, the knowing "Ion, "
of the Baltimore Sun, has this morning very
nomination by the Freesoilers, and the consequent
defeat Of Gen. Scott
We have before US letter to the New Orleans
Delta, dated Washington, May Oath, and, rs we
are well assured, written by this same Ion," in
which he says of Mr.. Fillmore:
"From New England he will scarcely have a
single delegate in the Convention; for the New
England delegates who do net go for Webster
will 20 for Scott The votes which are claimed
for him from Illinois he will not get, according
to recent advices. He viii certainly not receive
dozen votes from all the non-slavehodng
States. His election, as well nomination,
being out of the question, he Is now called upon
to retire from the position of candidate. Should
he retire, Gen. SCOTS chance for the nomination
will be somewhat le5sened because other candi-
dates will come more prominently before the Con-
vention. The Southern Wings, generally, are
disposed tc support Mr.. Fillmore as candidate
for reelection, because he is the leader of an
administration Of whose general course they ap-
prove; but it would not be difficult for the South
ern delegates to find other men in whom they
would confde as candidates. Mr.. Webster may
become a more prominent candidate after Mr.
Fillmore's withdrawal, or GEN. SCOTT MAY
AS A KNOWN AND AVOWED FRIEND OF
THE COMPROMISE MEASURES. The Seward
men will not withdraw from the support of Gen
Scott, whatever sentiments he may avow, because
they locking, through the oUerslaugh Of Fillmore
and Webster, to the succession.
Gen. Scott talks-and perhaps not prema-
tnreky-of what he is going to do in the White
House. As matters look now, he will have a
fair chance for election Governor Porter, OF
Pennsylvania, says he will carry Pennsylvania
against any Democratic candidate, unless Con
gress do something for the IRON INTEREST.
Many democrats admit that he will carry Ohin
and Indiana. Being both A SOUTHERN MAN
AND FRIEND TO THE COMPROMISE, HE
CANNOT FAIL TO CARRY THE SOUTHERN
WING STATES"
From so sagacious politician, and so keen and
deadly an opponent of General Scott, as is the
writer from whom we quote, the above statements
are highly important, and afford the best COM
mentary upon what to-day appears from his pen
in the Baltimore Sun. 1t will be seen that he
admits
/. The great popularity Of General Scott IN the
North
2 His "kno~n and avoWed : friendship for The
Compromise.
3. The fact that the ''Secdrd men" are for Gen.
Scott, not because he as for em but because they are
looking, through the operslaugh Of Fillmore and
Webster, Northern men, TO the Succession-Gea.
SCOTS more Southern position making ii possible for
Northern man TO be elected al a future time.
a. That the Wing championship Of protection Vil
secure TO them the Keystone State.
5. That, being Southern man, and a friend of The
Compromise, he cannot fail 10 carry the Southern
Wing States.
" Ion " has spoken truthfully and candidly in
this letter. He wrote it for the instruction of
distant readers, and not for the purpose of infu
eucing the movements Immediately to be made
upon the political chessboard. Ion has check
mated himself this time.
The Wings of the 0hole Union will support Gen.
Scott. They will support him as Wing, as
national man, as an illustrious patriot and hero,
as one whose long life attests his noble worth,
whose public career is the pride and ornament Of
his country, and whose private reputation has
never been sullied by the breath of the defamer.
His will be pure and just administration. His
influence upon the social circles of the capital
will be hailed with gladness by all who love the
well being and virtue of our people. In the ad
ministration of the laws kindly fostering spirit
will be exhibited toward the people Of all sections
of our own country, while justice and modera-
ton will mark our intercourse with the world
beyond us.
