WASHINGTON:

WING NOMINATIONS.
For President,
WINFIELD SCOTT.
For Vice President,
WILLIAM A. GRAHAM.


The rumor long current in relation to the
present Minister to England is now decisively
confirmed. Mr.. LAWRENCE has been recalled
at his own request, and we learn that the Hon.
JOSEPH r. INaERsoLL, of Pennsylvania, has
been nominated to supply the vacancy.
1t has been Mr.. LAwRENcE's good fortune
to perform the functions Of his important pos,
in manner that has secured for him the con-
fidence Of his own Government, popularity
with his countrymen, and the respect of the
English people.
In the selection of Mr.. INGERsoLL as his
successor the Administration have taken step
which will receive the cordial appreciation Of
the country. Mr.. INGERsoLL has national
reputation as a politician, a lawyer. and gen.
tleE.an, founded upon large experience in public
affairs. His character and abilities afford a
guarantee that the interests of the country will
not suffer in any negotiations which he may be
called upon to conduct in the delicate relations
which at present exist with our great CONNER
cial rival.

Now, in calcuatn g the chances, we must make
all due allowances for the possible and probable
changes which are likely to take place during the
three months yet to elapse before the day of cleo
ton. And these arc the changes indicuted:
lst. The Southern Rights party will lose little
on the vote above set down, from disafection with
the nominee account of his Van Buren, anti
slavery propensi.ies and general apathy-say
5000, which will leave rs, 900 for that ticket.
I'd. The Scott and Graham ticket Ia obliged to
gain rapidly every day ii tho election from the
outsiders we'll as from all the other wings; and
by absorbing four fifths of the "1srtium guilds. -
may safely calculate on it receiving about As 900
votes in November, which will be majority OF all
the votes cast.
Sd. The Mongrel, Tugalo ticket supported by
ty, ;" that "John Burke of ours' of Cassville, and
that fuglemsn OF Bob Toombs, the Washington
Gazette, will "grow small by degrees and bcaui-
fully less" until the ides of November have come.
Some of this party have already taken position
under the banner of the fire-eate
4th. The "Tertium quids," except a few imprac-
ticable leaders, will eventually fall into the ranks
of Scott because they must be satisfied that there
is no use throwing away their votes upon third
man, and thus divide and disorgauizc their own
party and defeat it's regular nominee.
9Th, and lastly. We have great hope and conf
dence that the honest people who compose the fifth
class in the foregoing table will become aroused to
the call Of patriotism and duty before election and
rally one man to the support Of the "hero OF
three wars and ten pitched battles," the accom-
plished general, the able negotiator, and sound
Dolitician,
