PIERCE was received by the British pa

THE BALTIMORE WING NOMINATION.
1t would seem that the power or the
fortune which guides the irregular move
ments Of universal suffrage in the Unit
ed States, has served the interest Of the
Democratic party, Doth in the choice Of
; lis own candidate, and in the uomlna-
ton OF his sole antagonist. TIE sudden
turn in parties which brought up the
name of General Pierce IN preference to
General CaSs, Mr.. Buchanan and Mr..
! Douglass, placed man at the head Of
one of the great political sections of the
United States, who, though less known
than his competitors, is probably more
worthy Of confidence and esteem. The
uneX spocted decisions which has atterall,
made Gen. Scott the candidate of the
Wing party, falls, on the contrary, upon
the least able of the three men who a i
courted the sUtirages of the people on
that side. MIR. Fillmore has the recon-
mendatlon Of experience in office and
respectabiity. Mr.. Webster has I'M
doubted abilities Of the first order, and
may be said to be the only citizen of
the Union who takes rank at the pre-
sent day as 4 statesman both abroad and
at home. Gen. SCOTS notoriety dates
'principai(ytrom the .NeTican cnmpaign,
which has already given ore President
to the United States in the person of
General Zachary Taylor. Scott took
the command Of the operations in South
ern Mexico with Worth's division, and
It was under his orders that Vera Cruz
was taken, the battles Of Cerro Gordo
and ChcrubuSco fought. and the city of
Mexico captured by storm. IIe may
now be considered the most eminent
; commander in the American army. But
his personal qualities and his political
opinions are far below his military rep
! utatlon; though the logged opposition
with which the partSanS of Mr.. Fill
more and Mr.. Webster lahored reSpec-
, lively against the candidate they had
most reasons to fear has ended in p!ac-
ing on the v hig ticket the name Of the
, very man who is least likely to redeem
, the confidence Of his supporters. In fact,
the advantage of General lierce's name
to the Democrats, and the disadvantage
OF Gen. SCOTS name to the W hig>,
= were both SO generally recognized that
the latter was supposed to have lost all
f chance. The very last Geographic
message tina! arrived before the Cow n,
ton had terminated its labors, led lis &c
suppose that the nomination of FIJI
= more or OF Webster was certain. But
= in a democratic convention, as in the
G conciavc Of Cardinals, nothing is lost as
long as the ballot box can be kept going
The Pope and the President Of ths
United states are the two principal eIec.
; tive rulers Of mankind, and though the
constituencies differ, the mechanism O
parties is not d;ssimiIar, and the result
/ just as capricious in one case as in the
other.-But m tits mwnace IRE domb
