Another Nail In His Coffin.—The New Orleans Crescent, a whig paper, gives the following laconic but comprehensive description of Gen. Scott—written before it was known that he was the nominee. It is a perfect daguerreotype likeness of the gentleman, which every one would recognize, even if no name was called.—Scott stands no more chance of getting Louisiana, than a cat would in his Satanic Majesty's dominions, without claws.
"Burying one's self alive would not seem to us a very agreeable procedure; but our whig friends, if they take up Gen. Scott, will do nothing more nor less than adopt this suicidal course. Irresolute, indecisive, unexpressed, and wilfully silent upon the questions involved in the series of Compromise measures, Gen. Scott has become thoroughly odious to the Southern portion of our confederacy."
