IL there arc any Wings who, on account of prefer
ences for Mr.. Fillmore Mr.. Webster, or on ac-
count OF unfavorabc impressions in regard to
General Scott, feel hesiiation about supporting
him for the Presidency, let them pause long and
consider deeply and patiently before they resolve,
and especially before they pledge themselves, TO
goagainst their party, to stand aoof from IL in
the approaching conflict. Let them but wait for
informa ton, and they will find that, upon ali the
great measures and policies for which their party
and themselves are battling, General Scott ia with
them, and that he will never fail or fser in the
cause. Our convention has given noble plat
form, as perfect platform as wisdom and patriot
ism could project, and our candidate, in all bis
brosd and majestic political and moral proportion,
stands upon II before the world, sustained by "a,
and prepared TO sustain II in all its parts. Tho
South should be the very last portion Of the Union
t. be dissatisfied with his nomination. He was
born in the South, he was educated in the South,
he married in the South, he has fought in the
South, md bs sympathes for the whole
Union. He ekertcd n powerful agency in procur-
ing the passage OF that great measure Of peace aud
harmony, the Compromise; he poured forth his
grateful soul in written thanks to Mr. Clay, Mr..
Webster, and other mastcrispirts, who coopc-
rnted with him for he salvation Of the country in
that fearful crisis Of s destiny, and the mails will
soon bring the positive knowledge that he stands
now where he has all along stood-the open, the
| avowed, the earnest, the determined champion of
the Compromi,c.

Jackson 10 tho Presidency for hs military services.

in bis military services, has far surprised met only
each but all OF those thrcs and it would be strange,

States after having thus elected them, should reject
him Hc is not only their superior in military
vices md military talent bot ncomparnbly their

knowledge necessary to n great ond successful

! litcal and general knowledge than any other man
in the country. lie has no equal in familiarity

heard menin the present Executive Cabinet speak
with admiration OF his extraordinary information,
and express their wonder at bis having been nblo
thus to store and enrich his mind amid all the de-
msnds upon bis time presented by his important,
laborious, and m0st arduoUs professional duties.
