"The cohesive power of plunder."-CALHouN.

The most shameless Dragging Of total disre-
gard of principle that we have ever witnessed is
exhibited in the following editorial from the Sa-
yannah Georgian. If the intelligent and honor
able of our opponents can give even an implied
sanction to spirit SO dishonest and reckless as
is here evinced, they have descended to posi-
ton to which we would never assign them. But

DEMOCRATIC UNANIMITY - Mr.. RANToUL.-
When we remember the discussions that lately
existed in the Democratic party in very many
States in the Union, it is as surprising as graft
flying to witness the unanimity with which
Democrats of every name have gone into the
support Of Pierce and King. In New York,
Barnburners and Hunkers seem to have Joined
in a friendly struggle for pre-eminence in their
zeal for the ticket. In Missouri, Benton and his
friends, though still standing aloof from the
Democracy Of the State, are warmly in favor OF
Pierce. So of Georgia, Alabama, and Missis1
sippi. In these States Union Democrats, with o
few exceptions, as that of the editor of the Geor
gia Citizen,) profess the same devotion to our
candidates as the great body of the Democracy.
Last of all we have the intelligence that the
Freesoil Democrats Of Massachusetts 1--WE hope
our Whig friends will not go into convulsons at
the news) have declared for the nominees of the
National Democratic Convention. Even Rantoul,
Notwithstanding his ignomanious expulsion from the
Convention, writes to the Boston Times that the
nominations are the every best that could have
been made"
When we contrast this cordial and general sup
port Of Pierce by the Democracy with the op-
position to Scott everywhere showing itself
among the Wings, we feel authorized in antici-
pating the election Of the former by such ma
jority as no Presidential candidate ever received
in contested election

Catching at Straws.

The adversaries of Gen. Scott appear fully
conscious that in a fair, straight contest they
stand no chance of defeating him. Hence the
frenzied eagerness with which they catch at every
vague rumor of detection or hibustiering in the
Whig ranks. The manifesto of Messrs. Toombs,
Stephens & Co. was their delight until they dis
covered that it was bringing ten voters to Scott
for every one it coaxed away; then they derived
what consolation they could from the armed neu-
trality of Messrs Gentry and G. H. Williams /;
next they comforted themselves with the hope
that certain Freesoil Wings will oppose Scott on
grounds the exact opposite of those assumed by
Toombs & Co.; and anon the Native American
nomination of Mr.. Webster gives their tagging
spirits another FLIP, and they begin to speculate
on the probabilities of his accepting or declining
it. Union conventions loom vaguely in the dis
tance, and they try to rally hope that Mr.. Web
ster ot stand, and that he will take enough votes
from Gen. Scott to give three or four States to
Pierce. From first to last, their reliance has
been on Whig defectons and divisions-not on
their own strength. And never did any one lean
on q Trailer reed
We have not attempted to number the sore
heads in the Wing party in consequence of Gen.
Scotts nomination. not feeling any interest in the
subject. We know that THE PEOPLE are for Scott
that he will receive more popular votes than any
candidate of any party ever yet received in the
United States-and more in this State than any
other candidate of either party (save, of course,
the Vice President on the same ticket with him)
will receive this fall. Whether half dozen,
more or less, of men prominent by position see
fit to vote for or against him, may be of some con-
sequence to them, but Of very little to anybody
else.
We believe Messrs. Martin and Schermerhorn
will vote for Scott but whether they do or not
we know that their districts will give him every
vote of $500 majority, and probably more. And
we do not believe any two men residing in these
districts could reduce this majority by q hundred
votes The people of western New York do their
own thinking and they think Winfield Scott the
man for next President. He fought with them at
Queenstown Heights, at Chippewa, Lundy's Lane,
and Fort Erie; he was borne on couch of an
guish from the ensanguined fields Of Canada into
their midst, and there remained until his wounds
were partially healed, so as to enable him to re-
join his troops. No matter how many Native"
candidates and " Union candidates there may
be, nor how many Hunker Congressman may un-
dertake to kick up, they will give him the largest
majority given to any man, at least since Gen.
Harrison. If one or two more fibustering
manifestoes can but be elected the votes against
him beyond Cayuga bridge will not be worth
counting.--N. Y. Tribune.

From the National 1ntelHgsncer.l

Letter from Hon. Geo. Cs WasniuStOns w
have seen in the public prints the proceedings
of the American National Convention, which as
sembled at Trenton, New Jersey, on the 9th in
slant, from which it appears that was nominated
as candidate for the office of Vice President
of the United States. No official communication
of the fact has been received by me, and, If any
such was made, it has been miscarried. My
name having been thus unexpectedly presented
to the country, cannot longer consent to remain
silent, and therefore adopt this mode OF respond
ing to the nomination.
am highly honored in being deemed worthy Of
such distinction, and by having my name associ-
ated with that of the eminent and revered citizen
selected by the Convention for the Office of Pres
ident of the United States.
The Baltimore Wing Convention has presented
to the nation, as candidates for the same offices,
the names of Winfield Scott and VIM. A. Graham.
These nominations received my cordial assent,
as they will my jealous support.
have been on terms of friendly intercourse
with Gen. Scott for twenty years. and esteem
him for his spotess character and his frank,
manly, and courteous bearing. respect him
for talents often severely tested, but which never
failed him under the most trying circumstances;
and l admire him for his military services, by
which the character of his country has been
elevated at home and abroad, and been equalled
by those Of no man living or dead since the days
of the Revolution.
He has freely shed his blood in maintaining
the honor of his country and her rights. His
patriotic devotion to the Union, conservative
principles and firm support Of the Compromise
measures, cannot, in my belief, be questioned
without doing him great wrong and injustice.
Mr.. Graham is wholly unexceptionabe, being
respected for his talents and esteemed for his vr
tues by all who know him.
Entertaining these opinions of the candidates
Of the Whig National Convention, and being fully
and willingly committed to their support, am
constrained most respectfully to decline the NOM
ination of the American National Convention.

Our readers have never read in our paper this
interesting story for although told in public
speech By Governor Steele, partisan of General
Pierce, it seems very much like making fun of
General p, and we take no pleasure in it. But

some grave comments 1t says:
"General Pierce's generosity is not TO be meas-
ured by the amount bestowed, but by the admi-
rable sagacity which SO nicely apportioned the
supply to the demand. II showed an excellent
