Gen. SCOTS Letter of Acceptance.

On the 2fth June, Gen. Scott wrote letter
to Hon ]. G. Chapman, President of the late
Wing National Convention, in which he accept
cd the nomination for the Presidency. In this
letter he says, ':not haUng acrittcn 1rord TO pro-
cure this distinction lost not moment, after 1t
had been conferred" sc. Now, we say and can
prone, that he did write procure this distinc-
ton :" for in the columns of a Wing paper, the
Harrisburg Telegraph, we find the following let

day, evening session, Of the Baltimore Wing

To Hon. w S Archer
He had decided to write nothing to any indi-
vdual member before the nomination yet the
letter in which he states so is written to indi
yidual member before the nomination Singu-
lar contradiction-hasty mistake He would
not write a word, yet does write There is a
sample of his grGnHyism, which we commend to
the serious consideration of that celebrated and

ten days, for the letter to Archer, written,
as Bolts declared, on Tuesday night, June 10th,
and his letter of acceptance dated June 9th
positively states that he had not written a word

Gen Scott in his letter of acceptance also says,
The political principles and measures laid down
in those resolutions (the Wing platform) are so
broad that but little is LEFT for me to add !''' In
other words, the platform is scarce wide enough
for him to stand upon, and he wishes to insert
couple of extra planks he desires to add a
platform of his own and to 90 back of the pro-
ceedings of the convention and dictate to the
American people. lie then suggests what he
desires to have added to the platform, in the fol-
lowing manner:
Il therefore barely suggest, in this place that
should /, by the partiality of my countrymen,
be elevated to the Chief Magistracy Of the Uni
on, shall be ready, in my connection with Con-
gress, TO recommend or approve of measures in
regard to the management of the public domain
so as to secure, an early settlement of the same
favorable to actual settlers, but consistent ne
vertheless, with due regard to the equal rights
of the whole American people in that national
inheritance"
This is precious Whig doctrine and appears to
he as ''clear mud" to us. He takes an equiv
ocal position this subject and his language
can be construed into two different meanings
both of which in opposition to Wing teach
ings.
And as the American people are aware that
ten Scott did write letter in lS4l to G.. w.
Reed of Phila., in which lie took extreme
ground against the rights Of foreigners, which we
challenge any Wing to deny, and said in thatletter
Il now hesitate between ertendiag the period of
residence before naturalization, and n totag re
peal Of all acts Of CoRgress upon the sul5ect-my
l.ind iaclines 10 lte LATTER - therefore the
General must now change his sails and in his let
ter of acceptance says:
I shall be ready to recommend or approve a
single alteration in our naturalization laws sug-
gested by my military e1perieoee, viz (; giving to
all foreigners TIE rights Of citizenship who shall
faithfully serve in time Of war, one year on
board of our public ships or in cur land forces,

for the efficient manner in which lie per-
forms his arduous and responsible du-

DvoRcE.-We heard good story.
the other day, of gentleman in Lowell,
who, at a recent term Of the Supreme
Judicial Court, was divorced from his
wife. On being informed by his lawyer
that bill had been granted, he mani
tested the most exquisite delight, de-
clarng that although he was more than
forty years of age, this was the frs,
day in his life he had ever been one e-and-
twenty. He was married when an IN.
(dnt, in law, and had never known free.
dom, from the first hour Of his birth un-
ill then. After paying, as We hope, a
liberal fee to his legal friend for his SER
vices in efiecting his emancipation, he
departed in the highest spirits. Judge
Of the surprise Of the lawyer the next
day, on taking up a morning paper, 10
learn that his client was again married
The silkcn knot was tied the same
day the bill was granted. Poor man
he lived 10 enjoy his liberty but u few

Message approving the Maine Law,
which he sent 10 the Senate, when re-
turning the Law with his signature to
it. 1t is the same ,bll which he vetoed
few days before, except that the first
bill was to go TO the people, for an ex-
preston Of their opinion this bill does
not go to the people. On the whole, the
locofoco Governor OF achusetts has
shown by his acts, in this matter, that
he is rather small pattern for the Office

Former and appropriate usage requires
that notice OF the official sanction of the
Executive TO the several bills and re-
solves which have been submitted to

an oral message delivered by the Secre-
tary Of State.
Having this day signed an act con.
cernng the manufacture and sale Of
spirituous and intoxicating liquors." !
deem il my duty TO communicate the
fact to the Honorable Senate, in which
it originated in more solemn form.
This bill appears to be identical in all
its features but one, with that which |
returned TO the Senate on the 10Th, with
my objections to It's passage. That prov-
ded Tor reference to the people with
the use Of the open ballot. This rests
entirely upon the action Of the Govern
ment Ii seems to me highly proper
that when bill is submitted to the peo
pie il should be in such manner as to
render the decision final The first
measure appeared TO me calculated to
impair the principles Of the secret ballot,
which regard as important IN free
government.
In the communication to which have
referred, stated that my chlci and suf-
ficient objection was against the man
ner Of ascertaining the popular Will.
The bill now under consideration
does not affect the principles Of the Sc
cret ballot
also stated that the bill contained
new principles of Legislation, was Of
doubtful expediency, and that the Judg
n.cnt Of the people should be taken, and
the use Of the secret ballot required
To that opinion | adhere. The course
| pointed cut seemed to me necessary
to bring the measure within the rule,
that law is the embodiment OF a pr, exis-
ting and ascertained public sentiment.
But the Legislature, after a deIiber-
ate reconsideration OF the subject, has
expressed an opposite opinion. The
point of difference is one OF expedicncy.
think it is expedicnt TO pass the oil
without such reference 10 the people
as have named. The Legislature
thinks it expedien, TO pass the bill accor-
ding to the usual forms,
Upon this point Of difference do not
feel at liberty, from doubts in my own
mind, TO withhold my resent to mea-
sure intended to advance a sacred NOR
al cause.
| have, therefore, approved the bill
entitled "An Act concerning the manu-
faclure and sale Of spiriIuous and intoI-
icaling liquors" -
