INTERESTING LETTERS. Anne Our Foreign and Home Correspondence. Our Washington Correspoaden Wasmineron, June 21, 1852. The Whig Nomince—A Hard Battle before ws— Sorry cuance for the Ofice-Hulders—Gen Scott's Polict The nomination of Scott gives intense sat to the whigs of this distriet. And the remarkable fact is now apparent, from the confession of the Pre- sident himself, that in preforring Scott to himselt, on as tho nominee, ho certainly preferred him to Web- ; ster. And this also accouats for the inflexible re- sistance of Mr. Wobster to ® conjunction of his friends with those of Mr. Fillmore. Each of the can- didates of the cabinet stood ia the other's way, and “that was tho way their full rose.’ As with the democratic nomination, this whig nomination will doubtless give more sati on to the party than any other that could possibly have been made. Tho acceptance of the whig platform by Gen. Scott wit! go vory fur to place him completely “all right” with tho South. It was apprehonded that hoe would accept the nomination, and give the plat- form the go-by ; but his prompt endorsement of the platform proves conclusively that the old soldier is entirely rete from the scbackles of Seward and e«ompany. Such organs as the New York Tribune cannot pload the paltry pe of tho Zvening Post. that the platform was adopted on the adjournme: of the convention, and amidet such noise and confu- sion that scarcely a moicty of the convention under- stood a word of tt. Quite the contrary. The whig latform was adopted by the most deliberate vote by States in advance of the ballotting for a nominee, and, in accepting the platform aftér his nomination, Gen. Scott just as deliberately gives to Seward & Co., the cold shoulder. And yet, Seward and his allies, in the maia, will Support Scott as heartily as the Post sustains Franklin Pie: The attachment of soms dogs is increased by a kick or two in the ribs. So itis with certain politicians. They cannot be kicked out of the party. The genoral impression among the democrats hore is, that Scott will be a hard, a very hard, horse to beat. 3 platform secures, ulmost toa certainty, the Southorn States of Muryland, Kentucky, Ten- nesseo, and North Carolina; aud as for the North, no man pretends to dispute his strength in New York, Ponusylvania, and Ohio. To have the track perfectly clear, itis already understood that Gen. Scott, if elected, will make a preity ole: op of the office Tt would be an up hill business for th if they wero to got nothing for their} election. In any event, thorofore, the p ‘e-bolders, poor fellows, will have to ¢ The noxt movo is the e Soil Convention at Pittshure ‘That may put a now face upon the pros- pects of Gen, Scott, in the North.

The Buchananites got their ch man, who made quite a sensible speech, exhorting all to let by-gones be by-gones, and those who though; they could only love James Buchanan, remember that Gen.

Emigration is increasing to a woaderful extent; from all the ports of England, and especially of Ire- land, emigrant yessels’ are continually sailing, charged with the living freight. The impulse has been given to the nglish by the accounts of the ld in Australia, which now begins to pour in, and the sight of each lump of gold exhibited in the of- fices 01 biokers and others stirs up the spirit of the young to go out after the rich treasure. Men of all classes are seized with the mania, and many throw up good situations in order to go out and try their fortunes. Jt is something like the rage which seized upon the European world after tho discovery of Peru, by Pizarro, and the accounts of the gold of Mexico'and South America which the Spanish ad- venturers spread over Europe. But it is on a much larger scalo, and affects greater classes of people. At that timo the shipping of the world was nothing to what it is now, and besides, the persons who then chiefly went out as adventurers were gentlemen who here, which has probably excited some surprise 4:2 bioud, as weil it might in the minds ot those who sie not familiar with our local effairs—for nothing is more true than that national politics have had no- thing to do with it. When Governor Hubbard was elected he was very popular, ing not a few friends and well wishers among his political opponents. He, however, soon contrived to alienate many of his friends, and by his general conduct to place his party in its present un- comfortable position. It is customary to attribute whatever is wrong in the affairs of our democracy to the passage of that famous statute which is known as the Maine law.
