MORE SCOTT ENTHUSIASM"

-z-..., MOtE SCOTT ENTHUSIASM"
We gave, in our last. number Of responses to the
nomination Of Gen. Scott all going to show the dis.
appointment and modification has prodaced in the
Wing ranks and we might fill our paper with simi-
lar extracts but the following will suffice for to-day
The Baltimore Sun has presented below, in few
words. the expressions and feelings with which the
nomination was received in Boston and other parts Of
Massachusetts;
"FRE BosToN PREss AND GEN. ScorT's NoMINA.
TON. The Press aud people of Boston seem to be
much disappointed in the nomination Of Gen. Scott
over Mr.. Webster. ' -. ...
The Journal endorses the nomination of Scott with
a heavy heart. ---. .s-.. =. H.
The ATLAS sustains Scott, but says the people of
Massachusetts will have Webster or nothing. They
prefer defeat under his banner, to under
who does not command their confidence and respect.
The advertiser is struck with hardly less surprise
than regret and fears the decision orbodes disastrous
consequences to the welfare of the whig party and
the country. - : il. go. . >s----s
The Courier says the nomination fell upon the in
habitants of the city like funeral pail. What it
said week ago, 1t has no reason to unsay now. Its
opinion cannot be whisked about at moments warn.
ing by the caprices Of few individuals, when the
blood has been kept at fever heat for six days in
sort of black hole or Calcutta 1t will wait the re.
turn of the delegates before deciding whether to
tain the nomination Or not.
Scott upon the crowd in State street, was like the
appearance of contribution box in Church, only the
scattering was more general and indiscriminate.
The Daily Bee, which contains call for State
convention to nominate Mr.. Webster, says that
Scotts nomination fe! like shower of ice the
city. We never witnessed SO universal and deep
fel, disappointment 1t was if Boston had lostall
that was most dear"
The same feeling was manifested in Lowell, Sa:
lem, Worcester, and other places. "A gentleman from
Lowell informs that the intelligence of Sc0tt's
nomination received by the citizens of that place
with tears in their eyes.'s The effect was almost
paralytic." -. >....t.,, -..
The people of Massachusetts feel that Mr.. Web
ster has done much for the rights of the South and
it is, therefore, but natural that they should be ndg
nant and mortified at the manner in which Southern
men have consented to his sacrifice by Seward and
his gang. The Charleston Mercury gives the follow
ing birds view Of the Scot, prospects in Georgia
"GEN. Scorr IN GEORGIA. Judging from present
indications, Georgia will give but slim support to
the Wing ticket. We-quoted the Augusta Chronicle
yesterday. The Savannah Republican of yesterday
is equally decided in repudiang the nomination.
The Macon Messenger is still more vehement against
it.. II says:
1--WE view the nomination of Gen. Scott as tri-
umph OF the enemies of the South; and it now re-
mans for our political friends in the State, to take
such course as will best conserve the great interests
of our section"
We have not yet heard from the Milledgeville pa
pers but the agreement of the three leading Journals
we have mentioned, leaves little doubt that at least
powerful division of the old Whig party of Geor-
gia had made up their minds beforehand not to sub
init to the nomination of the Seward candidate.
A notice appears in the Macon Messenger, signed
by the Presden. and Vice Presidents of the late Con-
stitutional Union Conven tion, convoking another
Convention of their party 10 meet on the 10th OF July
next, to decide upon this Presidential difficulty. L
is not by any means improbable that third candl-
date may be nominated. -....
We expect to hear much the same news from Al
ALBANIA, Mississippi and Florida,
Are the Wings of North Carolina less interested
in the institution of Slavery, less devoted 10 MIR.
Fillmore than the Wings of Georgia, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, and Florida! ,'.'. .-i"
We copy the following communication from the
New York Express of the the 25th June, Whig pa
per, and one which has of late done good service in
the cause the Union and Of Southern rights:
