have not the decision, which pronounced by
Justice Beardsey and is said to be very elaborate and

cy for a second term, while he himself spoke "a
voraby of General Taylor 1t is not probable that
his advice will be taken, as il seems to be pretty
well understood that Mr. Polk is to be thrown
overheard
There is much gossip in the city, of course At
first we hear that the Cass stock is rising, and then
that the Woodbury. Is above par. The friends OF
both oil these gentlemen are busily at work. Ii Is
SAID that the young democracy, North and South ARE
last ralying to the support of Mr. Woodbury., and
that the desperation OF the old hunkrrs everywhere
by falslfylng his course, shows that they are very
fearful OF his strength aud yet their course Is
bound To react upon them and their candidates
IL Is asserted that the most OF the tasehoods about
nun have been traced TO the mouths OF rival candl-
dates Woodbury's friends are tolerably quiet;
thhey are acting, however, and say nothing against
the other candidates. We hear that at the con-
venlon, 1t will be proved that the two other
stronger candidates (whoeyer they may be) have

will give no pledge. Mr.. Richie, it is asserted,
cannot control even the Virginia delegation. They
scorn the idea of being traded for the assurance
that he shall continue to occupy the official stool.
II Is charged against Mr.. Richie that he tells
Northern men that Mr. Woodbury. is '.Calhoun
man." and Southern men that he is a .Wilmot
proviso man.. The cry ls, among some of the de-
legates now in the city, and among members of
Congress, to some extent, 'cear the track for Levi
Woodbury., who writes letters and never
changes his front for office" have only given
gossip, without any opinion of my own. | think,
however, that Mr. Woodbury. will get more votes
IN the convention than Mr.. Buchanan; and Mr..
Cas-, on the first ballot, at least, will beat the
twain. How the matter will be ultimately decided,
and whether a ''new man" will 'sweep the board"

The hotels are filled to overlooking with dele
gates and others, route to the Baltimore conven-

were crowded. reminding one of bees who leave
their hives to sniff the fragrance of the air and

heard the names of "Cass," " Woodbury." Blu.

tlal nomination uppermost on the tongue, and
above the good breakfasts of which the patriotic
politicians had partaken. We noticed private
knots on the back porches discussing claims of as

The lobbles of Congress, and the hooks and cor.
ncrs, are not free from the conagion. We have
been told that the delegates are very suspicious
one of another, and all cautiously avoid commit

think, and this is right. They appear to be dis
posed to harmonlze for the public good The only
difficulty apprehended is with the two sets of dele
gates from New York-the hunkers and the barn
burners and they expected to arrive in greater
numbers this evening or tomorrow. They are Sc
