TIE CHARGE SusrAINED.--We charge the wing
deeuates of the South, who consented TO the noir-
nation of Scott, with treason to their section, 10
the Compromise and the Union. Is the charge
true? Here is the proof from the New York
Courier & Inquirer the great wing paper OF the
Empire State
TO The South We must emphatlcally point the
finger of scorn, and deliberately pronounce them
traitors; we have for years fought with them side
by side to support their institutions and confirm
the Union, and now, IN tie tour Of tridt, they

in the race for the Presidency. As yet, there

The AsiGtic Cho3erd.-fhe London cores
pondent of the Philadelphia North American,
in his letter of the 9th ut, thus notices the APP
pearance of this fatal disease.
THAT terrible scourge, the Asiatic cholera, is
steadily moving from east to west, as in 1885 and
l647, and it is more fatal to the population than
it was in those years In central Europe it is
sweeping away its thousands. From Persia, the
cholera has spread through Turkey, Poland, and
Prussia. 1t has proved very fatal in Warsaw,
and also at Dantzic. Accounts received from
the Posen state that the proportion of deaths to
the number ofpersons attacked continues alarm
ingly high-out of sixty-eigh' new cases, fifty
eight were fatal In most places there was such
general panic that the courts were adjourned.
at is feared in England that the cholera will
go over the same track this year-that after
reaching the western ports of the continent it
will first appear on the eastern coast of ENGLAND,
and from this country it will pursue its course
westward to the United States. 1t is well, there
fore, for our countrymen to be warned in time
that their cities and towns may be thoroughly
cleansed, and the draining carefully attended to
by competent persons. Some preliminary &C
ton in this respect may be the means of saving
many lives"

Rs The Washington Union of late date
contains lengthy communication from Ro-
chester, n. Y, in which the writer makes it ap
pear that faction of Democrats in New York,
at the head of which was the Rochester Daily
Sun, were exceedingly anxious to run Gen. Scott
for the Presidency few years ago The plat
form they laid down endorsed him as the very
man to correct the abuses of Van Buren's Ad-
ministration and as pure patriot of the Jeffer-
sonian School-having been born and reared
upon the same soil with that illustrous opposite
of liberty. The object of the writer is to show
that Gen. Scott has abandoned his old republi-
can doctrines, and the argument he makes use
of is that ali but two of those Scott republicans
twill give Pierce and King hearty and efficient
supnot This il aAf4Sgl tbs II Ssool thing asaas
that few men who were anxious to run Gen.
Scott in 1889 as a Republican candidate, have
abandoned him in order to support an old Fed

Remember that he labored for the Compromise

New York and avowed himself in favor of them.
From that day to the present he has not hesita-

deliberately takes his place on the Wing plat
form and pledges himself to carry it into prac-
tice. 1t is certain that he must and will do so
if he is an honest man. These facts should be
known and acknowledged by every man-Scott

number of slaves from New Mexico and Utah;

Columbia forever; and of continuing the Fugi

propagation of Republicarism by conquest
They go beyond what we conceive to be sound
doctrine on these points. While upon the other
hand, in their Domestic policy they fall below
the line of policy best calculated to promote the
general welfare The Wings are more con-
servative in their Foreign policy, while at the
same time they occupy higher and nobler ground
in regard to Domestic economy. AS party,
they have more regard to the observance of our
Treaty stipulations with other nations, and they
offer greater protection and encouragement to
American labor and enterprise. We therefore
act with the Wing party-not that we appre-
bend ruin to the country by Democratic policy !;
but, because the Wing policy offers greater en-
couragement to industry and enterprise among
our people, by protecting American Manufacto-
ries by Tariff on foreign fabrics, sufficiently
high to meet the ordinary expenses of the Gov
eminent, Including liberal appropriations for our
principal Rivers and Harbors; leaving the pro-
ceeds of the Public Lands to be distributed
among the States for Educational and Internal
Improvement purposes.
Like all our neighbors and friends, we have
come here to make money! If we can do So
and at the same time advance the public good,
we shall claim the title of good citizens. Our
materials are al new, just purchased in n. York
and Philadelphia. Our Type are small, easily
read and beautiful-being the genuine Scotch
Face, now being introduc- 4 into all the Printing
offices at the North, and justly admired by all
| Printers of taste. And we intend to publish a
paper free from the influence of selfish combi-
nations and factions and neutral upon no ques-
ton that may come within the legitimate range
of the Newspaper Press. We shall not attempt
to please every body farther than to publish the
best paper we possibly can, regardless of local
preiudiceS and interests, where they conflict with
the public good. Ind ace shall erpect all acho
may take our paper to pay for it. And we
would be pleased if all would pay in advance.
This is much the best plan. 1t will not only be
one-third chaper to subscribers, but it would en-
able US to publish better paper, and at the same
time keep clear of deLts-a thing that every
man should shun as he would the cid Boy!
We shall keep our readers fully advised as to

slavery to be an unmixed curse, and would not,
by virtue of his office, use all constitutional

aS5- The Nashville Union publishes a col

BS7~ The Nashville Union publishes cor
respondence between Hon. c. H. WILLIAMS,
and Col S. C. PAvATT, in which the latter tries
to extort abuse of the Wing party from Mr.. W.,
by informing him that some of the Wings were
denouncing him as renegade who would give
"a kingdom for horse" upon which. to ride
back into his party. In his reply, Mr.. W. re-
peats bis former declaration that he could not
support Gen. Scott, on the ground, that's his
opinion his nomination by the Baltimore con-
vention failed to nationalist the Wing party
but that he was still a Wing, unchanged in any
of his political opinions.
Messrs Gentry and Williams occupy about
the same position. They are both good and
true and patriotic Wings, who have fought long
and hard enough to entitle them to short re-
spite from their arduous services in building up
and sustaining the Wing party in Tennessee
Two more patriotic politicians are not to be
found in the Union. They oppose no factious
opposition-they merely retire from a contest
in which they cannot consistently take part
not even attempting to influence their most in
innate friends to follow their example, as is
abundantly demonstrated by the fact that Mr..
Williams own son is one of the sub-electors for
Gen. ScottI If Gen. SCOTS administration
proves acceptable to the South, as we have no
doubt it viii, Gentry and Williams will be its
most able supporters-if otherwise, not only
Gentry and Williams will turn against it-thou-
sands of Wings will go with them.
But we have no fears of Gen. Scott We be-
lieve him as sound as any man can be Oh the
Southern question. He will carry this State
without di1iculty-the Democrats at Nashville
now ask two thousand votes on a bet-and
