estng matter which it IS unnecessary to enumerate
The Presidential NcmIr ations heir Re-
oeptiOn Throughout the Country.
The nomination Ct General Scott. by the whig
party at Baltimore, has not been received with the
same unanimity by the different factions Of that
party in this ether parts Of the country, as the
nomination Of General Pierce was received by the
Democrats in every section of the Union. From
Washington We have account of the reception Of
the nomination ly the distinguished candidates
themselves, ard the various remarks made by Scott,
Webster, and Fillmore peculiarly characteristic
Of these men. General Scott's speech is IL the
usual styo Of his soup letters, all water ana lit
tie fat, with the exception of very MARIE wish that
whoever is elected may make good President.
Fillmore makes sensible speech, and exhibits m
alniable spirit Of resignation. BIT Websters little
speech is the gem of the whole. He throws himself
back epon his dignity, and his services, and looks
up TO the stars Of heaven, consoed with the though.
of rieing with the lark every morning. Good!
In Boston. most especially, the reception os Gen.
Scott's nomination is Of the most suleu and gloomy
character. Elsewhere in New England. his name
has been received With mingled sentiments Of gloon
and appreciation. Some Of the friends Of Webster in
tie Eastern States threaten to keep aoof altogetb.
er from the coming election, But time and patience
may moderate their heat. In this city the nominal
ton of Gen Scott has been received in every sort Of
way by the whig party aud the whg Journals. As spe-
crlens OF the conflicting sentiments entertained with
regard both to the nomination and the platform, We
give few extracts from the leading wing journals
of this city, which viii describe the position of tho
whg party at this crisis better than any language
of ours. large portion Of the Seward wings have
thrown themselves into ecstacies about the nominee
under the hope that he viii make Il good run and
that he stands good chance OF being the winner
This portion OF the whg party is also distinguished
Tor its isms odd notions, and marked hostility 10 ali
military glory and military reputation. The sinsu
lar ard papable contradiction therefore, Of receiv-
ing the nomination Of military man with such de-
light, is not Characteristic of these vagaries
than the violent hostility they have shown to the
platform, which was agreed upon by the Wing Ma
tlonhi Convention. with greater majority than the
nomination itself The anti-saysry faction embraces
the candidate, with MI his fuss mud feathers but
they abominato the platform, and treat it with no
sort Of respect. On the other land, the constit,l-
tional and conservative wings have warmly re-
cciyed the platform; but they have great doubts of
tue success Of a military with such platform.
1t i. evident, from these Indications oe public
opinion, both from the newspapers and the assem-
bics Of the people, that the nomination Of General
Scott has by means been received in the different
sections Of the country, with the same unaninity as
she nomination cf General Pierce by the democracy
