In my opinion. the id lie > ought to be con-

This insulting expression is invariably used in or

of Scotts intimate identity with Northern measures

told that the South knows that Scott is not for the
platform. and that hence the South is against him
and it will be cunningly whispered that the North
must save Scott. as the South is mostly democratic
anyhow. Seward hopes by these means to draw the
sectional pride of the North while be will de-
mand that the Southern Wings shall vote for him
on the score Of the platform. The whole scheme is
transparent, and child may see through il.

The Chambers Tribune remarks:

he Chambers Tribune remarks
Col. McLemore brought the affecting intelligence
to this town, from West Point Yesterday, of the
nomination of Gen. Winfield Scott for President and
Graham. of ~ c., for Vice President.
Ut course, expectation is entertained of getting
the Southern vote with this ticket. Not one-half
the party in the South will vote for Scott, and in
our opinion it is great pity that any Southern
Wing should.
We shall not support Gen. Scott. He has been
thrust upon the South by set of men who at
heart her enemies He has not the confidence of
any portion OF the Wing party here; and he holds
or held, opinions which the South cannot safely
sent to.

for General Scott 1t is said that he declared to
his father previous to his DEATH and that tie great

and added that he would do the same if his life
permitted to him. The Wing scribblers may deny
this when they please hut tell you that this state

This is confirmed by communication to the same
effect in the New York Herald, from an intimate
friend of young Clay. Mr.. Clay did make decided
expression of opinion upon the present position of
national politics This will not be made public
