date for President Of the United States. Under
the circumstances in which it has been made

The Boston Mail says
The nomination of Gen. ScoTT was no sur
prise to us, as the columns Of the Mail for year
past will show. We consider him the only a.

have no doubt, If elected, he will make good

with Great Britain, in the difficulties with Cher
okec Indians, in the Florida war, and was on the
borders whe he did good service when bostil-
tiles were about to commence between Name

Eastern boundary negotiations. But as an able
military general and stratcgist, it was reserved
for his brilliant campaign IN the Mexican war. to
fully deyclope his consummate abilities. His
public life Is a record Of patriotism that any man
or any nation might be proud Of That he is al

Democratic opponent, that ho has rendered more
service to his country, that he has a brighter
fame at home and will command greater respect
abroad, all right judging men will admit.
The albany Register which has been denomi-
mated Mr. Fllmore's organ says:
There are vast numbers Of Wings, like our
selves, whose first choice has not been gra'iiied
by the selection Of the candidate. 1t is imposs.
bic thatit should be otherwise. disappointment
to some is inherent in the very freedom of choice.
1t has on this occasion fallen to our lot. We
submit to it with a cheerful philosophy, and sw NJ
into line, under the leadership Of one who has
achieved many proud victory and with whose
name defeat has never been associated.

given a world wide fame to American arms, and
who has conducted both negotiation and wer
