The l'iiiics charges ns with 1 fuimiiinp’
the military reputation of (ini. Scot/. 1 \
We confess to the truth ol the charge.- j
We have very little use for a sham hero, !
manufactured by a President, and im
mortalized by ground and lofty troubling
better stilted to the performances of a
horse theatre than the lield of battle ; but
when we find a man ol high pretensions
as an ofiire ; one who stands at the mili
tary head ol bis age and generation; who
Inis fought successfully and triumphantly
and won on every battle field a success'”
ion of splended and important victories,
breaking the charm of British invincibi
lity in his y<intb, trampling (low ii the sav
age power of the hostile /odiatis in his
niatorer manhood, and finally in his green ‘’
old age,.marching through the iron had
of t omiiiuoui battle indie ultimate con
■ quest of the proud capital ol a ntiulrbnr
republic. We confess, when were
< eel <m in,”- things, we do sonn what ad*
nitre, he military re,,,,,. ol him, who
w e believe is at this time conceded to be
‘he first captain of the age. The columns
of the Times were wont to he garnished
witli something of the chivtdi ic sentiments
of our country. Its editors are military j
men, and have seen a portion of the pomp !
parade anti t ircmnstance of war. Do
theyf el no admiration Tor, the military
reputation ol Gelt. Scott ? From the
wav in which they knet-l to the tlwarfi-h
image ol” Pierce’s military reputation, we !
diouhl think they would ding to the gi*
gautic proportions of Scott’s, with the
zeal of idolatry, and the nog of death.

Mr. Webster in Paris. —A correspon
dent of the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser
‘writes:
M.deGirardinpublishes Mr. Webster's
j letter to Mr. Curdy upon the Chevalier
Mulesinaun's knowledge of diplomacy,
as “eminently worth reproduction and p*.
rusal.” Mr. Webetyr does not suffer h\
translation. And in liet 1 imagine <!i it
lie is easier to translate than any other vv ri
te rin England I may say, en passant,
that the Americans in Paris* had made up
their minds that Mr. Webster ought to
he, and would he nominated as the Wlfio
candidate for the Presidency, and the dis
appointment has been keenly felt and ear
nestly expressed.
ihe Scolt Whigs of
■jS. Gcorgfo
Wcdliscrve in country exchanges
the proceeding* ofk number of county
iriectHtigs, some hiJSpp'tim delegates to the
; Independent Cobvention at Macon, the
| 17th iust., for the nomination of a third
I candidate, and others to the Scott Con.,
vention in the same place oil the 18th.
As we have not room for tlie proceedings
of all these meetings, we beg leave to call
the attention of our Whig reaijers to the
action of their Whig brethren in Floyd
county. The meeting in that eouty
was called by the friends of Gen. Scott.
They adopted resolutions hi the effect,
that they would have preferred Mr. Fill
more or Mr. Webster for their candidate,
but having failed to get either of those
patriots, they are now ready lo support
Gen. Scott. They consider it of the first
importance that the Whigs of Georgia
should be united, and to that end they
will yield” a cheerful support to a third
candidate, should it lie ascertained that
the party can be best united in that way.
in otitgr words, ail that the meeting re.
“qtiiied,. was to be informed what was the
voiceofamajority of their Whig brethren,
, and tligy woTt-Uf willingly abide by it.
Artiratgd by this laudable spirit, they
adopted the fojjotving resolutions :
licsbhftJ, T|iat two delegates he ap
pointed, and requested to use their best
exertions to harmonise theT l ”' I )'* ami to
co-operaje with that one of the Conven
tions which, in their unprejAdicated judg
ment,-shall most folly and fairly reflect
tlie die great body of Whigs
throughout the Stale, anti whose deter
tniHution r shall. moss cffectolly bring out
tl.e lull stfenCUt of (Tur party at the polls.
A similar resolntion was adopted hv a
meeting of the Whigs of Cambell county.
We would commend the spirit of the
Whigs of Floyd and CatiibeH in our
Whig friends who support Gen. Scott.
If tliev find on reaching ‘Macon that
the unity of tlu- party can be best preser
ved by foe nomination of :t third candi
date, every consideration of po'icv ami
patriotism calls upon them to y ield to the
innjorjty. It is evident that there is a
“large number of Whigs in the State who
cannot he brought to the support of Gen.
Scolt. Are there any who would net
cheerfully vote for Webster and Jenkins,
if the harmony and efficiency of the party
calf thereby be mantaineil ? The only
good we can accomplish in the present
divided state of the party, is to keep it
together. We cannot possibly give the
i vote of tb Stale ‘fo Gen. .Scott. That
i* ev Midi! to tvety one who Inis given the
to I infestations of
! pttt'bf- : > fine. Only’ a partial Whig
! vote can lie concentr-ntcd upon him.
! Wlint then is the duty ol those Whigs w Ini
have heretofore shown a disposition to
.•give him their support. “The answer is
> so evident, foal we leave them to make it
I themselves.
If any plan can lie hit upon to heal the
’| divisions a* the present existing in die
; party, we entertain not the shadow of
■ a doubt (hat we can carry die Slate elec
j lions'next year. Ii will be an easy mat
) ter to carry tile Governor end a majority
the Legislature, and thereby secure a U.
IS. Senator. Every tiling liowgver, de
j phnds upon the harmonious action of the
■ party during the presept canvass. Let
| Whigs took at the facts-as they exist—tel
j them look at foe divisions and subdivis
ions into w bidi ihe party is split, some go
} ing for Websier, some for Scott and
some for Pierce—and let them go and do
what duty manifestly requires of them.—
Above all, let them make tip.their minds
to personal sacrifices'; otliei wise, nnr pre
sent feuds will |jp perpetuated lo the per.
manent ruin and overthrow of the party.

Macon Convention. — Front the unan
mity with which tlie people in the several
I comities of’tlie State have seconded tbe
move and nominated delegates to ills Con
vention to assemble in Macon, on Tues
day next,-there is no room left for doubt as
’to tlie feelings ol the people on tbe subject
o’ a third candidate. They are evidenly
heart ‘and- soul for the move-. “
It will also be observed Irom thp pro
ceedings given to day ol the National
Union Convention in Philadelphia, that
the* suggestion ol our Union meeting lias
been Serened, and that Hon. Daniel
Webster lias been nominated for Presi
dent and the Hon. J. W. Kennedy of Pa.
for Vice President. Charles J. Jenkins
received the-next highest vote for the lot- 1
ter office. Since the uominijiation, Mr. ;
Kennedy has published a card declining, j
and declaring himself in favor of the j
Democratic Ticket. This leaves bur dis
tinguished fellow-citizen, Mr. Jenkins, as
desired in the State, tfie nominee for the
Vice Presidency
The Convention, to assemble on the
17th, will, from all tip pea ranees, he a
very fiill one, probably ns large as any otb*
er which has been held in tig; Stale. ’■ \
‘action, we cannot doubt, will be harnio- J
ohms, and its ticket will be hailed, by the J
approval of at leasCa large portion ol tlt e 1
voters of Georgia, if not a majority of lb e 1
vote of the State.”
