GEN. Scorr IN GEoReIA.-Judging from pres
ent indications, Georgia will give but slim sup
port to the Wing Ticket. We quoted the Au-
gusta Chronicle yesterday. The Savannah Re-
publican Of Yesterday is equally decided in re
pudiating the nomination. The Macon Messen-
ger is still more vehement against it. 1t says:
ave view the nomination Of Gen. Scott as a
triumph of the enemies of the South and it
now remains for our political friends in the State
to take such course as will best conserve the in
terests of our section"
We have not heard from the Milledgeville pa
pers but the agreement Of the three leading
journals we have mentioned, leaves little doubt
that at least powerful division Of the old wing
party Of Georgia had made up their minds be-
forehand not to submit to the nomination of the
Seward candidate.
A notice appears in the Macon Messenger,
signed by the President and Vice Presidents of
the Constitutional Union Convention convoking
another Convention of their l'arty to meet on
the 18th Of July next. to decide upon this Presi-
dental difficulty. 1t is not bv any means i'm
probable that a third candidate may be nomina-
ted.
We expect to hear mach the same news from
Alabama, Mississippi and Florida. But the
detection of the Wings in all these States will
not much affect the Wing party in the country
at large.-Ab.

The Whig Nomination.

We have another laborious mountain deliver
ed # its mouse,-another National Convention
assembling, and, with infinite big-sounding phra-
ses taken from the slang dictionary Of patriotism,
selecting the man who is to lead them on in
the next charge upon the United States Treasu-
ry. The Democrats chose man who had
scarcely been mentioned beforehand; the Whigs
have selected that one against whom majority
of their party had declared unforgiving hostility
Yet. on the enc hand. no sooner was that man
nominated whom nobody was commissioned by
the people to vote for than all the faithful or
gans sounded forth, excellent the very best
possible choice y and on the other, no sooner is
the man against whom majority of the Wing
Convention is pledged and instructed, than the
still dissentient members swear fidelity, and the
choice is declared unanimous Such is party.
and Of such stuff is fabricated the honors which
the people shower on distinguished merit
Will the Wing party ratify the choice of the
Conventionl We answer yes, with scarcely a
note Of dissent. Those who think differently,
do not considerthat the real question in the next
Presidential election, is simply which of the two
parties shall have the spending of fifty millions a
year, for the next four years. Those who dream
that any portion of the Wings will be backward
at taking tickets in this great lottery, will find
ont their mistake in a short time.
And in regard to their chances for the purse
the Wings have chosen wisely. Gen. Scott has
more strength than either of his competitors
Mr.. Fillmore is dull, decent sort of man, whose
superiority consists in his having grown up like
bunch Of grass on the hlock Of Gen. Taylor's
grave Otherwise he would have been a very
common grass. Mr. Webster is a supertnnua
ted political lawyer, who, after many unsucccss-
full attempts to become leader by following the
leaders Of his own party, has ended by a fashy
imitation Of Gen. Cass, in making faces at ali
the foreign nations that were either SO feeble OF
90 far off as to deprive the grimaoe of all dan,

CURE FOR pYsENTERY.-A highly respectable
and aged correspondent, who has read with pain
the account of the prevalence Of this distressing
complaint in Newbewy district, as published in
Saturdays Courier, requests the publication Of
the following slecfc for its cure, which, though
very simple, has never filled under his obServa-
ton for many years, viz: Take all equal quantity
of good sweet moa>ses, olive oil and good West
India rum, stir together and simmer over the fire.
stirring whilst silnmcring until the dccoclion is
well incorporated together then take it off the
fire. but continue stirring until the mixture is
quite cool. 1t is then really for bv;tnS or use.
The dose for an adult, if the disease il very vio-
lent and system much reduced, is one table spoon
ful three times day, morning, noon and night
it not very severe, twice a day, morning and
night-and if the attack is slight, one spoonful,
taken at nj ght, will have the desired effect. For
children and young persons, proportion to age;
for infants, teaspvoniul is sufficient 1t is also
a radical cure for summer complaint in chill
dre,I If the disease should be checked too sud-
denly, so as to occasion costiveueSs, reduce the
dose, and use little castor oil.-Courier.

Government has recently entered, come into op-
Grafton, the whole cost to the nation for convey

IMPORTANT DECISION IN REGARD TO THE MAINE
L1QuoR LAw.-We stated few days since, the
decision of the Supreme Judicial Court of Maine
in regard to the seizure Of liquors IN hansitu.-
There were several other points touched uponir
the dt cision rendered, the most important d
which were as follows. We find them in the
Bath Times:
Srhere is nothing in the act indicative of au
intention of preventing intoxicating liquor being
property, when possessed by a person for his own
use, without any intention to sell.
The act caunot preoent the transport Of liquor
from one town or city to another, or through the
State, when there is no intention to make sale OF
the same.
The declared design of the law was the "sup.
preston Of drinkiag housesapd tiRpIng shops,
and the law should receive Il construction com
patible with its design. The general Ianguag'
of the act must be restricted as to accom- lisll
the general intent and d,clard purpose thereof,
or the provision in relation to the holding of prop
er,y must be pronounced to be a lain violation
of the proviSi6ls'ofthe Constitution. No positive
enactmeut is found in the law. that 10 person
rau acuuira -nroperty in Intoxicating liquors.
1t would be absurdity to declare an article OF
commerce not property, and by the same law
empower agents to sell the article as the proper
ty Of cities and towns. The Constitution secures
to the people Of this State the right OF acquiring
,Sowperty and protecting it; but the Legislature
nfaS determine that articles injurious to the pub
lie heath and morals, shall not constitute prop,
erty within IS jurisdiction, phen used for the pur'
pose ofiyurin9 Ne public health ndmorais, and
there would be no 6cesSon for complaint that a
provision of the Constit tlcn was void.
In his concluding paragraph. Judge shepley
offers us either horn Of dilemma, as follows:
1T may be said that court justice is not au'
thorzed to introduce by construction, such limit,
ations-that it savols more Of legislation than 9f
construction. 1t may he so. And if the Cour
may not introduce any such Limitations, without
encroaching upon the forbidden province Of an
other department Of the government, it canno
omit its duty to declare that provision (that il
relation to property in quor) in violation of the
Constitution and void.
NoaSWt set aside, and nem trial granted.-
According to this decision, many cases where
liquor was taken by officers from ON board YES
sells, and from wharves while in transit from ont
place to another, and destroyed, were in violation
Of the law, and claim for damages may be insti
tuted. We are glad to have construction te
the law at last"

any hold on the people, or could make resp"c-
tablerun againstthe Democratic nominees. We
do not believe that Gen. Scott can be elected, but
he has great deal Of positive strength, and is
surrounded with the specous tinsel that is so
easily taken for gold, and he will give his adver-
saries trouble. Ii they beat him, it will be by
hard work and good conduct.

who desire to rule the party, and whose only

induce wings to assume a high national ground,
the only position upon which statesmen and
patriots can rely to preserve the harmony of

Nominations Of Delegates

1t will be seen by the proceedings of the
| Wing Central Executive Committee OF the
| State, in another column, that a recommends
| ton is made that the Wing nominations OF the
! city, for delegates to the Convention, to be
| elected on the 14th Of next month, be made
this day week. This leaves a period OF scarcely
a month for candidates to canvass their respec-
tive districts; but in New Orleans it is unne-
ccssary to make early nominations, for the rea'
son that everybody in the city, indeed, are cog
infant of such proceedings the following day
know the men who have been presented for
their suffrages. In the country, however, it is
different. Here, we conceive, that at least
two months notice should be given the people
of the nominations of each parish for any i'm
portant office for there are isolated districts
which require a long time for all of its voters
to know uho are the candidates, to say nothing
of the time required to inquire into the charac-
tiers and principles Of those who seek their
votes.
These remarks are produced from the fact
that no meeting has yet been held or spoken
of in this parish by either party, for the pur-
pose of making nominations of delegates
Although we are fully apprised of the Witness
of our opponents, and that it will not answer
to expose our hands to their adroit vancouver
ings, yet, we are Of opinion that even a caution
so commendable may not at all times be pru-
dent. Delays may be dangerous. We believe
that the Democrats generally are aware of the
gentlemen who are TO seek their suffrages, and
that matters in this respect have been cut and
dried for some time and those who wiU be the
nominees have had the start of US, notwith-
standing the old adage, ''the more haste the less
In this case, however, the adage is
not applicable and the start they have got
upon us does not sit very easy upon our nerves.
The above was in type previous to the meet
ing of the Parish Central. Committee. GAIL
