There is considerable speculation in reference

States as the source and fountain Of the blessings
of public order and private right-of liberty and
law-of happiness at home and honor through

the meeting In conformity with this the fol-
lowing gentlemen were chosen to represent the

The Course of the Ro1ters.

Four years ago Messrs. Cabell, Toombs & Co.
were the most Jealous advocates Of Gen. Taylors
nomination We, knowing little of his political
views, were naturally anxious to ascertain his
opinions, and to have him publicly committed to
Wing principles and measures. But no Messrs
Cabell & Co. would not consent to that We
must run him on Palo Alto and Buena Vista, and
take our chances for the rest. They forced their
views down by the hardest means; Gen. Taylor
was elected by the Whig party, and proved a
very much better President than we had any
right to expect. We thank them for him, most
heartily. But now the great middle States
backed by all the heavy States of the West, pre-
sent Gen. Winfield Scott-a lifelong, Jealous
Whig, thoroughly versed in public affairs, born
in Virginia, but eminently national in his feel
ings, and ardently devoted to the Union, as well
as the rights of the States. What can the boilers
say against him?
"We amt sure he is a Compromise man." is
the pretext for boiling. Yes, gentlemen, you
are sure of tin fact, you never doubted it,
Anybody in Washington can tell you, if you can
possibly have been ignorant till now, that he
exerted his influence in favor of the Compromise
when it was under discussion and after it had
been carried, being in this city, he attended the
great Compromise meeting in the Castle Garden,
and there publicly expressed his devotion to the
cause. If the opponents of those measures don't
object to him, how can you2
ooh, he is supported by Gov. Seward, Gov
Johnston Co., and we apprehend that he
wouldn't prescribe them if he were elected" :"
This is the very "head and front of his offending"
after all. General Scott, though an original and
steadfast friend of the Compromise measures, is
not willing to make them pretext for breaking
up and destroying the Wing party.
He is not willing TO aid Messrs. Toombs. ca
bell & Co. in their plot to divide the Whig party
and insure its defeat. Hence he is doomed to
encounter the fercest hostility, no matter what
is his position. Mr. Cabell fairly notifies him
that no declaration he can make in favor of the
Compromise will secure his support, nor that of
his South" 1t is " Mordecai the Jew sitting
in the Kings gate" that Haman can't abide
wherefore he persists in building his galows.

During the retirement of the committee, the
meeting was briefly addressed by Walter Lenox,
ESQ.,, and the Hon. Samuel Chiffon, of Virginia,
the spirit of whose remarks was, that the we'll
being and prosperity of the country now de-
manded, more than ever, that all Wings, in or
der to secure the prevalence and sway of Whig
principles, should bury all merely personal prefer
ences, and thus maintain the ascendancy of those
cherished principles, and continue their party in
power.
1t was then moved and carried unanimously
that in addition to the delegates above selected,
W. w. Seaton, esq, should represent the city at
large.
Votes of thanks were then given to the chairman,
and cheers heartily accorded to the mover of the
resolutions and other prominent Wings. 1t was
also agreed that the committee of arrangements
for the present meeting should make arrange
ments for grand ratification meeting subsequent
to the nomination of candidate for the Presidency
by the National Wing Convention.

The FinnIity.n

The following just, able, and truly patriotic
remarks are extracted from an article in the Gin
cinnati Daily Atlas. We commend them to every
twattle of the hour-to every man who would
scorn victory won by the low arts of the gro
Yelling demagogue
"The position of General Scott upon this i'm
portant question is understood to be in favor of
allowing the Compromise measures to remain
undisturbed. Under his views of the binding
force of constitutional provisions, applied to
the circumstances of the case, he was in favor OF
their adoption, so far as the principles upon
which they were founded are concerned. Unim-
plicated by any connexion with the defects APP
parent upon the face of the fugitive law, his
assent to its general provisions is an adoption
of the doctrines of the constitution, and desire
that so far as the articles as that instrument are
in the nature Of compact between two great
sections of the Union, just far are they to be
observed by both parties with the most scrupu
lous. exactness
"The question whether these measures are or
are not fndiity, can scarcely admit Of n discus
sion In the nature of things there can be no
fnalites in legislation, any more than there are
Examinations in human progress. The world will
roll on; opinions will change, under the operation
of circumstances; that which is finally settled in
one ReneratOn Will IurflSn no RUE lot the settle
ments of another; and human thought and human
will will rebel, and justly rebel, against the
bondage of perpetual law, whose rule easy at
first and salutary, may become the iron standard
of Procrutes to the generation which shall sue
ceed, with new light, new interests, and new cir
cumstances, to the seats now occupied by their
progenitors
"Undoubtedly the law as now in existence is, to
certain extent, like the constitutional clause
from which it derives its authority, the result of
n compromise Of sectional interests and opinions.
Such being the case. there is little danger of its
being speedily disturbed. The passions Of men
are subsiding and reason and patriotism are re-
suming their sway. Agitation is being sup
pressed and the masses Of the people have no
wish to interfere further to veX the question: nor
is it probable there will originate with them any
movement to repeal or alter any Of the Compro-
mise measures. The law will endure, in spite of
Fictitious exctements, until strong and positive
popular opinion at the South, as well as at the
North, shall demand its repeal
