ACCEPTANCE OF THE WHIG KOMI
' ' NEES. - -
We give below the letter cf Gen. Scott,
and 3Ir. Graham,' accepting the Whig nom
ination for President and "Vice President cf
the United States :
Washington, June 24, 1 852.
Sir : I have had the honor to receive ftom
your hands the official notice of my "anani
mous nomination as the Whip; candidate for
the office of President of the United States,"
together with a "copy of the resolutions
passed by the convention, expressing their
opinions upon some of the most prominent
questions of national policy." i
This great distinction, conferred by a nu
merous, intelligent, and patriotic bodyj rep
resenting xniliiocs of my countrymen, sinks
de p into my heart J and, remembering the
very eminent names which were before the
convention in amicable competition with m
ownI 'am "made to fee!, oppressively, too
weight of responsibility belonging to my new
position.
Not having written a word to procure this
distinction, I lost not a moment, after it had
been conferred, in addressing a letter to one
of your members to signify what would be,
'it the proper time, the substance of niy. reply
to the convention; and 1 now have the honor
to repeat, in a more formal manner, as the
occasion justly demands, that I accept the
nomination, witn ihe resolution annexed.
The political principles and measures laid
down in those resolutions are so broad that
but little is left for me to add. I therefore
barely suggest, in this place, that should I,
by the paitiaKty of my countrymen, be ele
vated to the Oh'ef Magistracy of the Union,
I shall be ready,- in my connexion with
Congress, to recommend or to approve of
measures in regard to the management cf
the public domain so as to secure nn early
settlement of the same favorable to- actual
settlers, but consistent nevertheless with a
due regard to the equsl rights of the whole
American people in that vast national in
heiitance; and also to recommend or up
prove of a single alteration in our naturali
zation laws, -suggested by my military ex
perience, viz : giving to ail foreigners the"
right of citizenship who shall faithfully serve,
in time of war, one year on board of our
public ships, or in our land forces, regular
or volunteer, on their receiving an honora
ble discharge from the service.
In regard to the general policy of the ad
ministration, if elected, L should of course
look among' those who may approve i that
policy for the agents to carry it into execu
tion; and I should seek to cul ivate harmony
and fraternal sentiments throughout the
Whig paity, without attempting to reduce
its members by proscription to exact conform
ity to ray own views. But I should, at the
same lime, be -rigorous in regard to qualifi
cations for office retaining and 'appointing
no one either deficient in capacity or inte
gijy, or in devotion to Liberty, to the Con
stitution, and the Union.
Convinced that harmony or good will
between the different quaiters of our broad
country is f ssential to the piesent and future
interests of the Republic, and with a devo
tion to those interests that can know no South
nor no North, I should neither countenance
nor tolerate any sedition, disorder, faction,
or resistance to the law, or the Union, on
any pretext in any part of the land ; and I
should carry into the civil administration
this one principle of military conduct dba
dience to the legislative and judicial depart
ments of Government, each in its constitu
tional sphere saving only, in respt ct to the
Legislature, the possible lesort to the veto
power always to be iost cautiously exerci
sed, and under the strictest restraints and
necessities.
Finally, for my stiict adherence to the
principles of the Whig party, as expressed
in the resolutions of the Convention, and
herein suggested, with a sincere find earnest
purpose to advance the preatness and hap
piness of the Republic, and thus to cheihh
and encourage the cause of constitutional
liberty throughout the wotld,avoiding every
act and thought that might involve our coun
try in an unjust or unnecessary war, or irn
pair the faith of treaties, and discountenan
cing all political agitation injurious to the
interests of society and dangerous to the
Union, I can offr no other pledge or guar
antee than the known incidents of a long
public life, now undergoing the severest ex
amination. Feeling myself highly, fortunate in my
associate on the ticket, and with a lively
sense of my obligations to the, convention,
and to your personal co'fftesit-s,
I have the honor to remain, sir, with great
esteem, your most obedient servant, -
Winfield Scott.
To the Hon. J. G. Chapman, President of
the Whig National Convention.
Wasuingjon, June 24, 1852.
Sir: I am gratified to acknowledge the
receipt of the communication which you did

day, announcing my unanimous nomination,
as the Whig candidate for the office of Vice
President ol the United States by the Na
tional Convention which recently assembled
in Baltimore, accompanied by a copy of the
resolutions of the convention upon questions 1
of national principle and policy.
I cordially approve the declarations made
by these resolutions. On matters of the
most recent practical interest ihey do but
portray the conduct of an administration of
the Government of which for near two years
I have been a member. On all others they
but reiteiate the doctrines and recommen
dations held by its chief in impoi tant public
communications.
Should the people ot the United States
rive their sanction to the nominations of
your convention, so far as I shall be invested
with authority, a faithful adherence to these
doctrines may be expected... - ! .
I therefore accept the distinction, so bon
orably tendered, with a grateful heart, but
witn unantcted atoiaence. it is a satisiac
v;on. however, to know that the place to
7
wotch i have been nominated is but second
ary, and that for thd first office the conventiorr
has pfopdsedf a citizen of tatd pa'riofism
and vii tue, long and familiarly acquain cd
with public affairs and public men. ; A safe .'
and sagacious counsellor, w ho has well ful
filled every trust heretofore committed to
li s hand.vand who bas'il lust rattd our history,
by eminent public services.t
" With my thanks for the douftrs with
which you have honored me, in the execu

soual respect 1 am your obedient serVt,

Many, of our Whig friends in this vicinity
desire to know whether the Albemarle Bid- f1
Ictinis right in representJDg Mr. Kerr asv:
opposed to Free Suffrage ? See article in f
the last Register.' Standard. - .
If we know aught of the meaning of
words, Mr. Kerr expressed himself opposed
to Free Suffrage in his speech at Weldon.
His wprds were " 1 would suffer my head
cut off before I would lend my influence in
taking away the protection of properly."-
lie said persons should be protected and -properly
too, and went on to define, in what man
ner. He said the lower branch of. the Leg-.
islature was the peculiar representative of
persons and the Senata the peculiar repre
sentative of property. Having previously
declared himself in favor of an open conven
tion and asserted that he would vote for it
at the polls, we feared that we might have
misunderstood him with regard to his views,
of Free Suffrage, and consequently made it
a point to enquire of several gentlemen pre
sent, both Whigs and Democrats as to their
understanding of his position and they
agreed with us in the above understanding,
that is that he wasoppdsed to Free Suffrage.
There is onax)ther fact which would'con
yince us of Mr. Kerr's opposition to Free ,
Suffrage, if we had nothing else to judge by,
and that is, that some of the most bitter op
ponents of that measure, persons who have
denounced it all the time and who still de
nounce it, have declared themselves satisfied
with Mr. Kerr's views, and that tooalter
hearing his Weldon speech, and also having
private conversations ,with him. Warren

Worth Reflecting Upon. Quakerism
is favorable to longevity,' it seems. Accord
ing to late English census returns, he
average age attained by members of the
peaceful sect in Great Britain, is rifty-one
years, two months and twenty one days. -Half
of th population of the country, as is
seen by the same returns, die before reaching
the ago of twenty-one ; and the average
duration of human life the world over, is
hut thirty-three years: Quakers, therefore,
live a third longer than the rest of us. .The
reasons are obvious enough. Quakers are
emperate and prudent, are seldom in a hurry
and never in a passion. Quakers, in the
very midst of the week's business, (on Wed
nesday morning.) retire from the worldtand
spend an hour or two in silent meditation
at the meeting-house. (Quakers are diligent)

of life to them is a walk of peaceful medit$-V, f
tion. not a race-course of excited contentiotK
They neither suffer nor enjoy intensely, but
nreserve a-composed demeanor always, is
it surprising that their days should be long
in the land ?
Present to an Koitor. -The editor of
the New York Journal of Commerce has
received from Florida four quarts of mosqui.
toes in a glass receiver or jar, marked Pre
served mosquitoes from Florida." They
are specimens of the mosquitoes which, - ac
cordinjr to a statement in the Journal of
Commerce, thrust their bills through an old
boiler, in which an unhappy Yankee had ta
ken refuge, to avoid the enormous mosqui
toes cf the everglades; ;
The story goes, that the Yankee, on find
ing hw matters stood in the morning,
went to work and clinched all the bills inside
the boiler, when the mosquitoes, taking the :
alarm, rose with the boiler, and flew off at a
thundering rate in the direction of the
Okeefenokee swamp. Nothing is now wan-,
ted to subsmniiate the story bit the - boiler,
and that last link in the chain of etidenca.
will probably be forthcoming. y
