The intense interest excited throughout
the country as to the result of the assem
bling of the National party Con ventions has
measurably subsided, on their action being
known. But it would seem that their la
bors have not been altogether satisfactory
at least to a portion of the Whig party.—
The nomination of Gen. F. Pierce and
W. R. King, by the Democratic Conven
tion, was, like that of Polk and Dallas, the
♦ery thing for the Democrats ; they, happy
fellows, being blessed with very facile con
sciences in such matters. But alas, for the

Gen, Winfield Scott and W. A. Graham.
The Chronicle <jk Sentinel comes out flat-
footed against the nomination. But the
friends of Gen. Seott need be under no
alarm about that. It is easily explained on
tbe principle of sympathy. Having exer
cised its wit so often upon the Charleston
Mercury's eccentricities, it seems insensibly
adopting tbe habit it ridiculed in that Journ
al, of firing the first shot of tbe campaign
against the side it intends ultimately to
support,
The Savannah Republican is also hostile
against the old General. But that press is
liable to speak too hastily—vide 1850-’l.
Tbe Maeon Messenger makes a great to-do
also—denouncing it as a Free-Soil nomina
tion, and a triumph of the enemies of the
South,
It is common for politicians when very
much disappointed, to let off tbeir surplus
wrath in a sort of Jim-Crow-shnfBe, and af
terwards, like Newman Noggs, go quietly
to a common-sense resignation. Doubtless
these gentlemen Editors will do so in good
time.
We premise of course, that these presses
will have to choose between Gen. Seott and
Gen. Pierce. The Chronicle & Sentinel
expresses itself thus of the. former
“In our opinion, be has no claims Upon
the country to the distinguished office to
which he aspires ; for we regard his milita
ry services as constituting an objection rath
er than a recommendation. We want a
civilian, a statesman, one who is familiar
with the duties and responsibilities of that
important office. Gen. Scott cannot be so
regarded by any impartial mind#”
If Gen. Scott “has no claims upon the
country to the distinguished office to which
he aspires,” we should like to know if Gen.
Pierce has any. Or whether the latter is
more of a “civillian, or statesman” than
Gen. Seott; or more familiar with the du
ties and responsibilities of tbe Presidency ?
Few men are probably, better acquainted
with the details of our government than
Gen. Scott—its general policy and course.
His official character has required his resi
dence much about Washington City—and
it is scarcely to be presumed that a gentle
man of his inquiring and ambitious mind,
would let such golden opportunities pass, for
acquiring knowledge, more or less, of every
department of government, That General
Scott is the equal—and in many respects
the superior—of Gen. Pierce, will not be
gainsaid by any impartial mind--Whig or
Democrat,
But the Chronicle & SentineVs main ob
jection seems to be that GeD. Scott “is the
candidate of the Free-Soil and ‘higher-law’
wing of the Whig party.” Why is he more
sc than Gen. Pierce on the Democratic par
ty ? Perhaps the editor will give us to un
derstand, clearly, before he turns bis back
finally upon us, several very essential things:
First—What is the difierence between a
nomination made by Free-Soil, “higher-
law” Whigs, and a nomination made by
Free-Soil and abolition Democrats ? And
if we are to choose between the two nom
inations*-which should soonest command
our support? A nomination made by

nothing, only as a means of gaining office

But the Savannah Republican is even
more violent than its Augusta contempora
ry-denouncing Gen. Scott as the “Seward
candidate,” and declares that to place the
reins of government in his hands would be
furnishing the latter gentleman with a club
“with which to beat out our brains four, or
eight years hence,” or “when he (Seward[
should be brought forward himself for the
the Presidency.” It speaks of the Whig
Platform as a “piece of patriotic workman-
ship,” but concludes with the very sage
opinion that, “to place Gen. Scott on this
Platform dtptesent him to Southern Whigs,
is a trick of his Free-Soil supporters too
shallow to be successtul.” “Nous verrons,”
as Ritchie used to say.
We may remark in passing, as a source
of comfort to the Whigs at the South in
general, and to those who may be inclined
to support Gen. Scott, in particular, that ac
cording to the Republican's prognostics,
they may rest secure in the possession of
their “brains for four or eight years” to
come, or until brain-beating Seward be
comes a candidate for the Presidency—that
is something.
But will the editors of the Republican be
kind enough to inform us whether there is
any “trick” in the Southern Rights party
suddenly becoming Compromise and Union
men, under the lead of Pierce aud King ?
and if so, whether it is also “too shallow to
be successful?” And what is the important
difference between the New York Tribune
on the Whig side, repudiating the Whig
Platform, and the New York Abolition
Evening Post, on tbe Democratic side, pro
nouncing the Democratic Platform a hum
bug to catch Southern votes, ^^ough it
policy for ttie agents io cany it into execu
tion, and I should seek to cultivate harmo
ny and fraternal sentiments throughout the
Whig party, without attempting to reduce
its members, by proscription, to exact con
formity to my own views. But I should
at the same time, be rigorous in regard to
qualifications for office—retaining and ap
pointing no one, either deficient in capacity
or integrity, or in devotion to Liberty, to
the Constitution, and the Union.
Convinced that harmony and good-will
between the different quarters of our broad
country is essential to the present and fu
ture interests of the Republic, and with a- -
devotion to the interests that can. know no
South aud no North, I should neither coun
tenance nor tolerate any sedition, disorder
faction, or resistance to Hie Law or the Un
ion, on any pretext, m any part of the land;
and I should carry into the civil adminis
tration this one principle of military con
duct—obedience to the Legislative and Ju
dicial departments of Government, each iu-
its constitutional sphere, saving only, in re- -
spect to the Legislature, the possible resort
to the veto power always to be most cau
tiously exercised and under the strictest re
straints and necessities.
Finally, for my adherence to the princi
ples of the Whig party, as expressed in the
resolutions of the Convention and herein
suggested, with a sincere and earnest pur
pose to advance the greatness and happi
ness of the Republic, and thus to cherish
and encourage the cause of constitutional
liberty throughout the word, avoiding every*
act and thought that might involve our
country in an unjust or unnecessary war, or
impair the faith of treaties, and discounte
nancing all political agitation injurious to
the interests of society and dangerous to
the Union-»=-I can offer no other pledge or
guaranty than the known incidents of a
long public life, now undergoing the seve
