Reception of the Nomination.

Our Wing exchanges come to US rejoicing.
The Flag of Scott aud Graham is raised to
the head of their columns with many a hear
ty cheer, and with enthusiastic expressions Of
satisfaction. Ratification meetings have been
held in New York, BIffalo, Cleveland Ohio
City, Columbus, Cincinnati, Toledo, Detroit,
&c, which in numbers and in the good feeling
which universally prevailed, afford striking
contrast to those which followed the reception
of the nomination of General Pierce We
give below, extracts from the articles of a
few of our exchanges, announcing the nomi-
nation of ScorT and GRAHAM.
! The hero of two wars, of twenty battles,
who never lost field. will carry US triumph
antly through the contest of November
We clip the following from the Buffalo NOR
ming Express.
The counsels of wisdom and patriotism
have prevailed a; Baltimore-the Convention
have responded to the wishes of The people.
General WINFIELD SCOTT is the nomines
of the Wing party, for President of the Uni
ted States. We have had little doubt from
the beginning, that this would be the result
and have Just as little of his triumphant sue
cess in November His unstained char
acter, his unequalled renown, his life long
services. his devotion to Whig principles, his
entire freedom from all the arts eff the poll
tieian, have secured to him the respect, graft
tude and admiration of the American People,
and they will reward him with the highest
honors to which human ambition can aspire,
the Presidency of the United States-We
congratulate the Wing party upon its fortu-
nate escape from its entangled position, and
the people upon the dawn of manly and
natural political era. The contest will be be-
tween the Wing and Democratic party. each
placed upon its distinctive principles without
side issues or splits in either. Gen. Scott
will Conquer the enemy as sertainly as be
did she Mexicans.
If strength were wanted to ticket headed
of WILLIAM A. GRAHAM, of North Caro-
lima, who received the unanimous nomination
for Vice President on the second ballot He
is aStatesman that North Carolina has de-
lIgted to honor, and the people of the whole
SCOTT and GRAHAM on our banner, we
feel equal to any contest which our opponents
may choose TO lender u.s. The good spirit
manifested by the Convention is gratifying, as
it is honorable to all parties.
From the Cincinnati Daily Atlas:
The love and venerAtion of the people of
this mighty nation for high talents, long and
eminent public services, unsullied honor, and
a consistent political history, have been truly
and vividly represented. The spirit and
wishes of those in whose hands the election of
every candidate is ultimately placed, have
been respected. The demands Of the people
have been listened to.
Under his leadership, We are authorized to
look back to the year 1910, for precedent
of the coming Campaign. Few that were in
political life at that time will ever cease to re-
member the incidents that marked that most
extraordinary period. 1t was like the burs-
ting out of innumerable springs among the
mountains. Stream ran to stream, and riAu-
let rushed to the embrace of rivulet, Tor
rents were accumulated and filled the bosom
of the valies. Still onward, gathriug strength
and force, rushed the accumulating mass, un-
till in one tide, mighty and majessic, it swept
over the land, burrying every vestige Of the
tiny barriers that had been erected to tepress
it, under the plenttude of its luxurious full
ness
So we predict it will be in the Presidential
canvas of 1852. The question who is our
candidate will need no response from NOUS
ing politician, inventive editor. or laborious
investigator, into journals of past Congresses
or files of nouldy newspapers. The question
who is his competitor will be forgotten and
left to go unanswered. Our candidate is Gen
eral SCOTT, with whose history the babes
of America are familiar-whose name is
tower of strength-whose biography is writ
ten in the memory of his countrymen. and |
whose fame as bold, prudent and successful
of armies, in the opinion of the
world. has no peer among living men.
The Convention has made choice of Hon.
WILLIAM A. GRAHAM, as the Wing can
dIdate for the Vice Presidency. Tho gen.
eral satisfaction which this nomination has
giyen,is sufficient guaranty that it will insure
d gain to the ticket, and add to its already
brilliant chances of success.
Mr. Graham has been Governor of North
Carolina and became a member of the Cab
net after the accession of General Taylor, from
