WIN FIELD SCOTT.

this day place the name of WIKFIELD SCOTT at the head of our columns as the Whig candidate for President of the United

States. We should have

been pleased

to do this long ago,but for the fact, that we wished a Whig

National Convention first

to speak, and to reflect the sentiments of the Whigs of the Union in reference to the name of their choice for President.

President,

more for Ins eountry than any other living—a man whose noble deedsiiave been the theme of eulogy over the wide spread world. And against whom, through a long life of public action and service, the breath of slander, if ever raised at all, has

been.onlv

to be hushed and drowned by tho universal voicoof an indignant people. Brighter and brighter have appeared the virtues and deeds of Gen. Winfield Scott, the more and more they have been read, heard and examined.— His fame is not only high, but untarnished. Hiscscutcheon the reflection of everything noble and generous. This is the man the Whigs present as their candidate for

States—and that he will

be triumphantly elected we can scarcely bring ourselves for a moment to doubf. On a full Burvey of the whole matter under all the circumstances of the case, it is but a fair calculation, to claim for Scott evry State the vote of which was cast for Taylor, with Ohio, certainly added. Thus we think the following

States may be counted

wit:

setts, Rhode

Vermont, Massachu

Island,Connecticut, New York,

New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware. Maryland, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Ohio.

If one or two of the States thus enumer ated could be considered at all doubtful for Scott, we might even suggest Virginia, and perhaps another, that are just as likely to cast their votes for Gen. Scott as his opponent Thus upon the whole, we think the chances for Scott's election placed beyond any reasonable doubt. So let it be.

HOW DO YOU LTJTE THE .NOMINATION is question a*ked on all sides. So far aa we have the opportunity of heartttg, the reply of Whigs is perfectly manly, if Scott was the choice, it is so said if there was a preference for Fillmore or Webster, there is no hesitation in avowing it. We do not notice any sickening sycophancy giat rant* over the nomination of a Convention, without having had the least idea in the world who the nominee would be. The desperate Tesort of taking up an unknown man was not necessary in the Whig Convention.— Whigs had an abiding confidence that a good man would be selected, one who was known to the people, a man whose ability and devotion to the best interests of the country would entitle him to the high honor of a nomination for President They accordingly had an ides of the nomination, and were prepared to receive it, without assuming tho excessive enthusiasm that the advocates of a heavy cause are sometimes compelled to, when their waning, fortunes oblige them to take a new man. rmnirnrniiju- nn rji.nu

CROPS.—1The country round us affords samples of fine crops. Wheat and grass particularly, exhibit the appearance of a more than ordinary yield.

It has been observed through all time that little men are more consequential than any others, and Mr. Douglas furnishes another illustration that it is true.

MEAGHER AND THE ASHBURTON TREATY.— It has been asked whether under the provision of the late treaty with Great Britain for the mutual delivery of fugitives from justice, Thomas F. Meagher is not liable to be demanded from our government by England. In answer to this we may state that the

treaty only requires the delivery of persons convicted of murder, piracy,robbery,forgery,

and

other heinous crimes such offences as treason,suspicion of treason, desertion, &c., being carefully excepted, and this was fully understood in the negotiations that preceded the treaty. So that Meagher is perfectly safe from molestation on American

'LUXURY IN NEW YOltK.

yesterday a bowl of most delicious June berries. This is a sweet and most pleasant fruit to the taste—rarely have we tasted any thing more agreeable. Mr. Milnor has an abund ance of the fruit.

The Evening Post gives the following graphic picture of the regal luxury which marks the residences of its wealthy citizens— and all this iti Republican America:

The prfvntn dwellings of our citi2$ns become every year more spacious, more lofty, mid of more ambitious architecture. Distant quarries are exhausted to supply materials, and the skill of our arehitecMs fatigued to furnish imposing plans nnd to vary the ornaments of ihe exterior. Within, the inmates tread' on the choicest carpets woven in the looms of Brussels and Turkey and win dows are curtained with the costliest and most exquisite tissues the walls are hidden with immense mirrors the chim ney pieces are of the finest marble of Italy or Egypt, and wrought Into the most elaborate carvings. Veins of wa ter are conducted to the uppermost sto ries to supply the baths, the streams gas leading to every apartment, break out into jets of white flume at the will ol the inmates.
