From Florida.

CHARLESTON, s. c., July 22.-At the
Wing State Convention, at Tallahassee,
Florida, on the 18th inst, majority ratified
the nomination.
Col. G. T. Ward was nominated for Gov
ernor, and E. c. Cabell, for Congress. Col.
Ward declined for reasons: one of which
was, that he had received letter from Mr.
Cabell OF a character to make running on
the same ticket with him out of the question
Mr.. Cabell's letter was read. He said un-
der no circumstances would he support Gen
Scott-that Wings ought to make no effort
to carry the State, except on Congressiona
and State tickets. .....
The Convention afterwards sat an houl
with closed doors, and re-nominated Col
Ward

Mr.. EDIToR:-It much surprizes me, that
the Sap-ient editor of the Eagle should dis
credit the communication of Swiler, address
sed to him, through your paper, few days
since. How its authenticity should be ques-
toned by one so well acquainted with him
requires some explanation. Perhaps Swi.
ler's communication was little below his
usual standard of excellence and for this rea-
son the editor has judged proper to discredit
it; but he should bear in mind that Swiler
may have been unusually ercited when he
wrote, or (what is not less probable) it may
have been read under similar Influence
The editor and his associates have no just
grounds for jealousy, for although the com-
munication was very creditable, no one will
pretend that it will at all compare with the
iveaIly productions of the Eagle; yet doubt
not, if Swiler were to practice the art OF
writing, he would in short time be able to
compete with either of them, for his early
advantages and education have been fully
equal, if not superior to theirs, and his ma
tural abilities have received an equal degree
of fostering care and at the same time the
most enobling traits (treats) were distilled in
to him. ',-. .
Alas, poor SpiA-er! If his past services
or talents can excite no veneration in the
Editor or his associates, should think the
blilSh-ing honors now heapedupon him, should
command in them some degree of admiration
if not of rivalry; for understand, he is in
command of the Still House Rangers and has
received diplomas from several SioiH tub so.
cieties. Another remarkable quality oI
Swiler's, should induce the Editor, at least
not to abandon him for the present, for it il
we'll known that Swiler acquired during tn,
Indian wars, scme medical skill, with whicl
he can cure snake bit subjects, and like tn
Kentuck doctor is h-ll on fits. Now fifth
Editor be wise and keep an eye to the future
his friends medical services may be secured
when the occasion shall present the necessi
ty. AS the Eagle is conducted with an dbih
ty rarely equalled, certainly not surpassed
by any other paper this side of Liberia,
think he should not indulge at random il
attacking our private citizens, for it is quit
clear, under an authority like his, their re
putations must be forever blasted;-this, i
is true, might not happen abroad, but here
where all the parties are Anoton, they had bet
ter die with the fits, or run counter with SOM
den of snakes, than fall under his censure, 70
the obloquy that will rest upon their head
will not be forgotten for the third or fourt

The Germans in the Field

The subjoined resolutions, agreed to at
Wing meeting Of German citizens in New
/ York, merit an extended circulation. Con-
| sidered in connection with expressions of
opinion by German citizens of Wisconsin,
on the eve Of the last election in that State,
and with subsequent declarations in other
parts of the Union, they indicate the prog
ress of a change that is destined to tell Sc
verely on the fortunes of the Democracy.
The magic of a name must be of brief du-
ration in the presence Of a policy which it
everlastingly belies:-Reptblic.
Resolved, That we hail the nomination of
Winfield Scott and William A. Graham, by
the Baltimore Wing Convention, as hap
py one; and that we give it our hearty ap-
proval, and will support it in the ensuing
election.
Resolved, That we endorse the cardinal
principles of the Wing party, and will do
our best to sustain and realize them
Resolved, That we, as American citizens
of German birth, aim at realizing those ele-
ments of progress which are obtained in the
principles of the National Wing party.
RESOLVED, That we will use our efforts for
spreading with all possible means, at proper
time and proper places, the principles Of
Liberty and Independence, upon which our
Union is based, and for which our heroic
leader, Major General Winfield Scott, has
rsked his life in numerous battles.
Resolved, That we will strive.for the ad-
vancement of our home INDUSTRY, not only by
wise protective tariff, but also by the pro-
lection of workingmen's associations by the
State.
Resolved, That We recognize the principle
Of advancing measures OF internal improve
ments by the Federal Government as just
and right, and that particular consideration
ought to be paid to societies of workiIgmen
in such instances.
ReSolUed, That the public domain, at the
present state of our public treasury, ought
not longer to be used as arevenue, but given
up to actual settlers under favorable terms.
Resolved, That we, as German-speaking
: Americans, do in no wise intend to separate
ourselves from our English speaking fellow
citizens, or aim to separate ends, but
: wish to be cordially united with them il
, good harmony for a common cause.-the
prosperity of the people, the advancement o
our country's well-being, and the principles
of Liberty and independence upon which
this Union is founded.

HAMILTON DEMocRAcY.-The harmoni-
Gus democracy of Hamilton county, are still
engaged in the laudable occupation Of ex-
posing the doings and objects of the "Red
Lodge" of that county, and Safeguarding
each other. The Statesman thinks, as they
have got through with that delectable sheet,
that they can't be quiet and must now turn
upon each other, and accuses Robinson Of
putting on an "honest look" while Rob re-
torts by saying that Sam can't even do that
much. ..4. .-... ...... I'D,
In the muss, the Enquirer expresses the
opinion that the quarrel of the Hamilton
county Democracy will defeat Pierce
Pshaw! the quarrel at Washington would do
that, even if the people had an idea of elect
ing him. AS several late years have been
devoted to purifying" the Democracy down
there, and as it is notyet accomplished ac-
cording to their own acknowledgements, we
must confess that we have lost all hope Of
witnessing that desirable result.

There is no truth whatever in the story
sent out from this city with others from the
same mint, that Gov. Campbell, Of Ten
nessee, intends to oppose the nomination of
Gen. Scott. Letters were received from him
yesterday, giving fiat and unqualified
contradiction to these rumors, and announc-
ing his intention to cooperate earnestly
with that party of which he has so long been
an ornament and an honor.

THE ScoTr FLAG.-The Atlanta Repub
lican, hitherto constitutional Union paper
has run up the Scott flag. 1t contains an
address to the Wings Of Georgia, signed by
sixty or seventy persons, urging them to
rally to the support of Scott, and calling a
Wing State Convention to be held in Ma
con, August 18th, to ratify his nomination and
chose an electoral ticket. f.
The Macon Citizen, one of the few Dem
ocratic papers of Georgia which supported
the Constitutional Union party, has come
out strongly in favor of Scott, in OPPOSITE m
to Pierce. We give the concluding por-
ton of an article in which it institutes a
comparison between the two candidates:
"First, then on the score Of personal Seruict
to the country, who takes the palm! An
