This honor was to me as unexpected as it was unmerited and I beg leave to return to you, and tlnongh you to the Third Candidate Convention, my sincere thanks for the honor they have con. form) (;n me. I had not supposed that, my position pi the present stale of political af fairs was known beyond my immediate neigh j/prhood. It is true that I had expressed my self to a few friends as favoijug the Third Candidate Convention, and my entire prefer ence for the present nominees nbove all oth ers, and I do, therefore, ni'vept the nomina tion as one of the Electoral College for Well gfer and Joftkjns for the State of (icorgia, and I feel assured that though I am wanting in abilitjes to dp what I should, to advance tile jnterest of that ticket, yet I do not yield to any man in devotion to the principles of my party, nor the platform on which the enndi jjjdatcs are known to stand. I feel gratified'that lam permitted tube one pf the standard hearers of Daniel At ehslor and Charles J. Jenkins, ‘l’lto one possess ing the greatest intellect of the age —a man natriotism knows no North, no South jig Easy, *•- ... —(ii 0 defender of the Con- ( ’ stjtution, and the friend of his country’s good; the other Ips worthy compeer, a map above reproach, and possessing a high order of tal ents. In yielding my support to Webster and Jenkins, (the ablest ticket ever presented to the American pcopje) I shall not torn aside to abuse Scott and Graham. 1 admire the achievements pf the one, and the modest merit of the other. I shall not torn aside to war upon friends, when there n an enemy jn front. Our batteries should 1/2 directed n gaiust the latter ; for recent developments prove Gen. Scott to be at least as reljalde as Gen. Fjcrce. Gen. Scott was mil my choice nor do l feci a freedom to give him my aup port-vibe platform that he adopted I admire —it is tlie platform of the party “to which I I/dong, the principles of which have been ably defended ami carried out l/v Mr. Web, ster, as a member of .Mr. 1 i!)nlore’s cabinet, liis acts and efibfts in belffilf of the eompro? mise, are part and parcel of the grelit plan., of adjustment; aid Charles J; Jenkins is knjjwn to he the autiior of the.

Mr. Torrev, who has hitherto kept aloof, gave in liis heaity adherence to the Webster movement, amidst the most hearty applause, which he followed with a strong, eloquent, and efleetive speech. Mr. \ fhecl.igiit presented a Webster list from Watertown, on which were the signa tures of Dr. Morse, aged ninety three, and Hon.

The New Y'ork Tribune devotes several columns in one of its late issues to Mr. Web ster, and after satisfying itselfat least, tliatdu fY to tlie Whig Party and to himself, demands from Mr, Webster a cordial support of the Whig nominees, insultingly recommends him to follow tlie example of Adams and Benton, and sink into the lower House of Congress. It wants Mr. JVebster’s endorsement of the nomination of Gen. Scott, and evidently dreads the ofl’e.ct of his position of neutrality, (! reely will not be gratified. Neither threats, jeers, or counsels from him can drive Air.* Webster from his position, mid this mighty champion of whjggery, will, like Achilles in his tent, hide at Marshfield whilst tlm Presiden tial contest goes on, and. true to himself, to.liis reputation and to his friends, will give to the nomination of Gen. Scott the stem and sig nificant rebuke of his neutrality and inactivi ty. More than two mouths has passed sin be tin* nominations of the Baltimore Convention, and the adherents or Scott have waited in vain for Daniel Webster to give his adhesion ‘ , to that norrdnaflon, and they must prepare for the approaching election, without the aid, the, Support or the influence of the first’ Whig the Union, and give to tb.e people some reason, which may’ account for tins fact YVhy will not Daniel Webster support the nomination of Gen. Scott? Wliy-Will not Mr. Jenkins, to gether with thousands ofrtlie best YVliigs in (icorgia, support that nomination? They liaye nothing to gain, by refusing Jo sustnjn tho iiQiajuations of their party, motive.can be given, as an explanation of the course they design to pnrsiTO. -Why do they not sqppo;s the nomination of Gen. Scott?— The answer is a [Jain one. They recognise in I hat fiominatiyn the triumph of that party, \vhich lias uniformly arrayed jtseji’ in opposi tion to the South, and which lias Imilcd tbt re sult of the National Whig (.'(invention as a triumph over the compromise principles of tlie Administration, YVo do not care wlmf Gen. -Scott’s opinions on the compromise are. We know thatdie was the favorite candidate ot'tiic great body- of the Free Soil Whigs of the North; and We know that this great and in telligent body of men hate received liis nomi nation With enthusiasm and exultation, wijilst* the pfesses, and the individuals who hdve al ways been national, conservative and true to tlie South, luive either repudiated the nomina tion or received it coldly and reluctantly.— ‘lbis prominent fact cannot be overlooked, and the .inference which we must draw is jr resistahle. ■ It is, that the nomination of Gen. Setitt, Whatever may be his opinions, is a tri umph of (lie Free Soil over the conservative element of the Whig Party at the North and if the Conservative Whigs of the North can not support it, we are at a loss to Understand what motive can be urged upon tlie pro-slave ry Compromise Whigs of the State of Georgia to induce them to do it. The character of the canvass'at the North, in favor of General S . ott, is an index, to the character of the par- j ty hy which he is there supported. Evans.ru Maine, .Wiutlirop in Massachusetts, Seward in New Y’ork, Johnson in Pennsylvania,* and Dayton in New Jersey, are his prominent sup porters} a)l of them opponents of the admin istration of Millard l'llimore—opponents of Daniel Webster, arid opponents df the South. The presses which are loudest and mdst active in tlie advocacy of his cbihiis;are those \vliicb‘ liaye been loudest in -their ‘denunciations of slavery, and in their abuse of Webster and Fillmore, because they have exerted thein selvus to,make tlie compromise a final settle/ mCnt. Who w ilt pretend, that the-party rep-’ resented by tljese leaders and by thftsc pleases, stand upon the platform adopted by she Whig * Conveptiou l YVho will pretend, tli;ifirtiiftri umph of such a party is (matter which South ern YVhigs should promote ? YVho v ill pre teild, honor or interest requires them to nid in effecting the triumph of such -a party’?— There any throughout tlie length and - breadth of this land, Conservative Whigs who will not support G(Ui. Scott, though satisfied with his individual'opinions—.-because tjipy febl that ■ liis election must be ptrae.tieaily a triumph of Urn worst cld|n.ent of the Whig Party of the North. These men look to the complexion and bomposition of the party winchljrings aft administration inlopoiver, for tlie policy which that administration -must noeepsnrHy pitfsue. -They have a higher standard of party ortho koxy, than the support ofparty nominees, and in tlieir refusal to recognise the claims of a candidate, when the claims of tlie platform of principles upon which he is placed are bolster ed up by the example of one, who is him Self in his nationality and conservatism, the great embodiment Os wliiggery, ‘ M hy should Daniil Webster, with his re cord nearly completed, worn nnd vveary nshe is in the service of liis country, and in his labors for tlie Union and the Constitution, give to his bitterest enemies and to the fiercest oppo nents of (lie Flan of Adjustment, which he lias struggled to maintain, the influence nnd the weight of liis mighty name? YVliat duty does Daniel Webster owe to the YVhig Party, that lie must sacrifice his principles to sup port its nominees? YVliat obligation is ho un der to that Party, which has not been paid a thousand times? What right lias any one to demand of Daniel Webster allegiance to the Whig Party, when he is himself “magnapars” of that Party and when to refuse to endorse tlie nomination of Gen. Scott, is simply to he true to himself nnd lo his own political record ? What riglit has Horace G reely to make this demand ?—a man of madness and meannesses, who lias never been true to the Whig Party or to Daniel YVebster, nnd who now “despises and spits” upon the platform of the Whig Con vention, and declares that its resolutions upon tlie Compromise are “impertinent interpola tions.” Daniel Webster M ill not gratify those who have sacrificed him, because lie was true to tiie Constitution and the Union. Tlie elo pliant has no legs for flexure. He has placed himself on high, firm ground, neither advoca ting, or actively opposing the nomination of Gen. Scott, and there, vve predict he will re main.

Gen. Scott’s Stcalasc. ,Under tins head tj*e Lexington (Miss.) Sentinel perpetrates the following; “Will any whig editor deny that Scott did rob the soldiers of tlieir pay? They oannot do it “If he would gob the poor soldier of his pay what would he do if lie could get liis hands into Uncle Sam’s poeketr, There would no doubt be Galphin izirig on ft grand scale,” It is exceedingly unfortunate for the American peo ple that there should ever be, at the head of a pub lic Press, a creature so contemptible as to manufac ture from liis polluted brain, so base a falschcad os this. Sueli men deserve the scorn and contempt of every lover of bis country. Gen, Scott merits the gratitude and admiration of every American for the distinguished services he has rendered bis country anil although these services do not, in our opinion, cut it be hiui to the support of the people for the Presi dency, yet the vile wretch who w.Qiild seek to in jure his reputation wllich forty years of valuable service,has so nobly earned, by publishing a base fftlsoho'od, merely for political effect, merits the se : vere.St rebuke a patriotic people could bestow up o g him.
