NATIONAL NOMINATIONS. 1
We place at the head of our columns tn.
day, for the Presidency and i Vice Presi
dency, the honored names of
MAJOR GEN. WINFIELD SCOTT,
i i
j AND ;
WILLIAM A. GRAHAM. 1
No man in the country will ever pro
pound the inquiry uWho are they V They
are well known and highly exalted be
fore the public gaze ; so known, so ov
ed, so honored, that it becomes the del ght
and pride of every true friend of his coun
try to reflect that he has it in his power,
by his vote, to testify his admiration, land
record his name as the friend and advo
cate of such noble Americans. !
It has suited the Democratic! party to
place in nomination for our highest offi
ces, men comparatively unknown and Un
distinguished men with whose charac
ters the people are not acquainted whose
deeds have not rendered them remarka
ble whose talentslnever fitted them to ac
quire either fame or popularity upon
whom the records of the country have not
stamped enduring honor or immortal
fame. If they ever attain to any, there
fore, it must be manufactured for them by
the partisan presses the enlisted Sviss
of their political fortunes.
But upon every page of our country's
history, "blazoned all over in characters
of living light," will be found the peerless
and glorious name of WINFIELD SCOTT
the first and bravest in warthe most
distinguished and patriotic in peace. His
record is the hearts of. his countrymen,
mingled with all the illustrious recollec
tion of the past, and now blended with the
best and Trighest hopes for the future.
It is not necessary to eulogise WIL
LIAM A. GRAHAM in North Carolina.
There he is behold hrm and judge for
yourselves. He has always been invinci
ble a tower of strength for the Sitate
which he Has honored, and which has hon
ored him: and North Carolina now pre
sents him before the country, with great
pride, as her brightest jewel.
The positions in' which these great men
have been placed before the country by
the National Whig Convention, though
richly deserved on their part, and very
acceptable to large massesf the people,
yet have now been rendered highly popu
lar at the South by the sound and conser
vative fLATFQRM on which theyj will
stand, and which was laid down as indis
pensable by the Southern Delegatesjcon
ditional to their support oi any candidates
and upon which, also, Tub Raleigh
Times bas always avowed that its 'sup
port of jthe Whig Nominees depended.

GEN. WINFIELD SCOTT A
received! the nomination for President, on the
53d or 54th balloting. And that j
WILLIAM A. GRAHAM, OF N. C,
received the nomination for Vice President, over
Jones of Tennessee and Pearce of Maryland,
after several balloting. j
We refer the reader to the regular repoit of
proceedings, so far as we have tbem, for par
ticulars in regard to the nomination fur presi
dent. Wocannot say that we are disappoint
ed in the result, kowever much we may have
desired it otherwise. With our fellow Whigs
of the State, we cherished the1 warmest regard
fur Mr. Fillmore, and a willingness to do po
litical battle under his leadership, no matter
what fate awaited. But we are likewise ready
to acquiesce in the judgment of the Convention,
which has regarded successs more sure kinder
another leader. We know not what develop
ments of Gen. Scott's opinions followed the
close of the Convention ; but 4we baveno'dread
of hearing from him ; we have steadily ex
pressed! full confidence in the soundness ol his
views on the momentous questions wh ch have
agitated the public mind and disturbed th equi
librium of the Union. Something must occur
to shake that confidence before we can be
brought into an attitude of opposition or! indif
ference to the gallant old veteran who has
grown gray in bis country's service.-fespe-'
dally, When his opponent in the race tor the
greatest office in the Republic is a new man,
without the claims of extraordinary seMcei,

(he distinguished citizen who lays undisputed
claim to all these qualifications. :
The nomination of Mr. Graham, the favorite
son of the good old North State, will gite sat.
islaction in itself, and go far to strengthen the
ticket In North" Carolina, in the South and the
whole nation. -While Mr.1 Graham is truly
