eo-The following we clip from the letter of
the Washington correspondent OF the Balti-
more Sun, dated goth ult.. (Monday last.)-
The writer is generally well informed, aud we
place great deal of reliance upon what he
says. The charges against Gen. scoTT' which
he speaks of, are the same limited at some time
since bv the New Orleans Picayur1e's cores
pondent:
"There is news in town, coming this time
from respectable source, that the Congress
assembled at Queretaro will ratify the treaty
All the rumors and talk about marches and
counter marches, ordering Generals Taylor
and Scott back to Mexico, &C., are sheer tab
relations. The government has received dis
patches, and their purport is that the treaty
,CW be ratified, and that ace shall haze the
ners Of 1t a., less than aceek. Put that a"
mong the rest of my predictions
'Gen. Scott, the war-worn hero OF vera
Cruz, Cerro Gordo, Chapultepec, Mollno del
Rey, Churubusco. &C., arrived here on yester-
day, and attended Rev. Mr.. Prices church.
The learned divine included him in his pray
ers, in which, no doubt, the congregation
Joined with a greatful heart. Gen. Scott lett
this morning for Frederick. to attend the Court
of Inquiry My opinion is that other things
will vet come before that Court with which
the public are as yet unacqualnted, and which
do not consist in mere letters written by differ
ent parties 1t is not unlikely that charge
of too great anxiety in favor of peace may be
brought against Gen. Scott, which may be
more annoying than all the Leonidas letters
that were ever heard of. Mr.. Trist may be
involved in the same charge, though he may
from the constitutional tribunal OF the coun
try, appeal to impartial history.
WHO WILL BE THE WING CHAMPION OF
course we feel some curiosity to know who
the Feds will place upon the Presidential turf
as competitors with CAss and BUTLER moi
that we care fig, so far as the result is con
cerned, who he is. But we would like Il
know, as a mere matter of curiosity, who W.
are to have the pleasure of beating. Will i
be TAYLOR? CLAY? ScoTT? or CoRwIN ?
There is a majority of the delegates to TIT
Philadelphia Convention pledged to Mr.. CLAY
and he will undoubtedly receive the nomi
nation if the delegates obey the instructions O
those who appointed them. But will they d.
this We predict they will not. The nomi
nation of CAss by our folks has helped Gem
TAYLOR nightly. The Wings, we think
will take him up. They feel that it would b.
no race at all between CLAY and CAss. B.
this day week, we shall know all about it.
THE WIG V1Ew.-The following is tn,
Wing view of the nomination of Gen'l Cass
as we find it in the National Intelligencer, tn
great organ OF the Federal party of the Un
ion -
In nominating Mr.. Cass, it must be admit
ted that the Convention have selected for thei
candidate gentleman of talents, of respecta
bilty, and of exemplary personal character
These worthy traits, however, are wofull,
counterpolsed by the wild and disorganiziny
views and principles which he has of lat
years avowed and advocated, and which, i
they ever obtain firm footing and ascendancv
in the Councils of this Nation, will, if the,
do not make absolute shipwreck of this glori
Gus Union, prove as disastrous TO the hope
and objects of the venerated founders of thi
Government, as we trust the issue of the cleo
ton will to the hopes Of those who hav
placed Gem. Cass in the field.
Whether Gen'l Cass is the strongest can
didate whom the Democracy could have foun
in its ranks, we much doubt; but the strong
est, if there be stronger, would have bee
equally doomed to defeat by the candidate
whoever he may be, that will be offered 10 III
country by the Wing Convention in June; an
we could have preferred, for auld lang syne
to have had some other candidate to beat''
We do not know what " wild and disorga
nizing views and principles" the Intelligence
alludes to, if it be not the firm and bold cours
which Gen'l Cass has always pursued whe
there was controversy between his own an
foreign nation. He has always stood u
boldly for his own country, and doubtless tn
Inteligencer and some other Federal paper
J look upon this as 'wild and disorganizing.
Not so, however. they will find, do the peopl
OF this country look upon such matters.
