this week to give one monstrous CROW,

after taking a full, though calm and &lib
orate, survey of the field of glory, like the:
'_phi Mau with his cart-load of ashes, about

listened to a Stomp speech, we have ahan
doned,the idea in despair, fully satisfied of
'inir inability, even if \ve possessed the ye
,Mll:ppwers of all the Chanticlears in the
aunty, to do the subject justice. It was
:11 4 great defeat, and consequently, a great
*tory. There let it rest.

CAUSE O 1 THE WIIIG DEFEAT.
. , BY A wino.
The following article is taken from the
Philadelphia Daily News, of the 6th inst.,
and is part of a series of articles in which
that paper endeavored to account for the
late overwhelming defeat of the' s'vhis par
ty,. , r
under Gm t cam The'rertM will
here see . acknowlcidged, ip thrk:moit en
phatie taints, as the prominent cols!) Of
their' defeat, tho very causes that were
charged against the whig party by the
Democrats. For this reason we transfer
it to our columns inllieu of what" we in'
tended to soy on our own behalf, as being,
entirely true, and presented in fewer
words, and' in 'clearer terms, than we
could command. . .
,There were, of course ,, many causes be
sides thine mentioned in our yesterday's
issue, 'which contributed their share to
wards the unprecedented and inglorious
defeat which has overtaken the Whig,
party.
We had a candidate in Winfield Scott of
whom any party might feel proud, and up.
on whose success, if before the American
people upon his own merits, it might rely
:wipi entire confidence. Ilad he been
nominated its our candidate under a difThr-
ent state of circumstances, disconnected'
...-
from the odins influences, which were i
supposed Lv those who knew no better, to
surround him, and presented to the people
as the Hero and Pacificator of whom they
are all proud, he would have triumphed
over any candidate the opposition might
have selected t.) oppose hint.
But, unfbrtunately for him and for the
Whig Party, he came not thus before the '
people as a candidate. Ile came into the
Whig National Convention undsr the must
embarrassing circumstances, and in a sad
ly crippled condition, so thr as his ides
poets of success were concerned. A dis
trust and lack of confidence, which no act
of his own could have brought upon him
or justified, had been aroused in the public
mind by those who sought to ride into
power upon his personal popularity, con
trol the policy of the Government, and di.
vide the spoils of office. as, they had done
under the Taylor Administration.
The inopportune presentation of his
' name by Messrs. Clayton and McMichael,
nt the Clayton Festival in Wilmington,
• two years in advance df the proper time
for any such movement, followed up as it
was by the Legislative ukase issued from
Harrisburg, under the direction of Gov.
Johnston, and the connection of his name
and political fortune with the nomination
of Governor Johnston by the State Con
vention at Lancaster, had already so dam
aged tis prospects as to make his nomina
tion a matter of more than doubtful party
policy, in the estimation of tnany who
were his• warm personal and political
friends.
As if to add odium to the movement in
' his favor, and increase the difficulties in
' the way of his nomination, those who had ,
thus already done enough towards destroy
ing his prospects, took another step, re
gardless of consequences to advance their
own selfish designs ) and forced themselves
into the National Convention. To have
I had to contend against the odium xi hich
their previous movements had thrown ar
ound Gen. Scott's claims, would have
been a burden 'heavy enough to be borne'
by those who desired his nomination,
.4nd
sought to secure thereby the success of - the
..
Whig Party. But to be forced to contend
against still worse prejudices, and more
fearful apprehensions, fanned into a flame
by the appearance of these g entlemen in
the' Convention, and thus confirming them
by their personal interference in favor of
his nomination, came nigh defeating him
,in the Convention. and was the most ef
fectual stop. to ensure his defeat at the
polls.
Instead of General Scott receiving the
nomination on the first or second ballot by
an overwhelming majority, as he could
I have done had he come before it upon his
own merits, and free from the embarrass-
Mg circumstances nnder which his name
was presented, his friends had a hard
struggle, and only 'Secured it for him on
the bliy.second ballot. That nomination,
I and the endorsement of it by many of
those who knew him and had the emir'.
l deuce of the Whig party of the country,
lair well as his own deelarations peblished
to the world,
.quieted to Some extent' the
' misgivings of the great body of the active
Whigs of :the country. They responded
I to the nomination, and went to work to se
cure its success. , 'But the impression had
fixed itself upon the public milt(' that he,
would, if elected, be surrounded by evil'
•influeiteS---Ahe fatal stab had been gien
-by 'those who had evidently'' determined to
lave:the credit orhits triumph and ride'io
to power with WM; or let him bo defeated
and be dragged down to their own level,
land the effects of their course upon his suc
cess:are now apparent. '• • • '
Could the obnoxious men whose impru
dent 'officionsness is proverbial, have been
kept out Of . public view, the' lion in the
path of Gen. Scott to the Presidency would
have: been out of the way, and he would
have travelled:over the course in the same
triumphant mariner : which:characteriZed
ihi4 march from • Vera:Cruz to Mexico.—
But what cared they for his success, un
less it 'would enure to their own advantage?
They had:but :One- objet in view, ' and
that was ' to mould and shape' the campaign
so as to keep themselves' le the foreground,
and, be .keady, its case .of success ; to come
in for:places Which no considerable per:-

Gov. Bigler's Speech at Baltimore.
Gov. Bigler's speech at Baltimore; on
Pride} , last, was one of the ablest,efforte of
our worthy and talented Executive during
the campaign. The immense concourse
of Democrats who heard it were delight•
ed ; they manifested their jo)) by the most
unbounded applause, and we have no doubt
this speech and the great demonstration of
the Democracy on the occasion, helped to
swell the majority in the city of Baltirnord:
How flattering it is to the Democracy of
two great neighboring States to have snail
Chief Magistrates as E. Louis Lowe and
i Win. Bigler, who can reciproCate courte
sies of this kind during a great campaign,
when the intewsts of the whole country
are at stake. Gov. Lowe has delivered
most ablo speeches in Pennsylvania, and
Gov. Bigler quite as able in Maryland.—
Long may this brotherly feeling and har
mony exist between the Democracy of
the frontier States, of the North and thei
South, and long may the Urilon have
such champions , as the two gentlemen re ,
feared to. . ' • ,
