The Baltimore Democracy are beginning to
move towards the Presidency. Ihey nave heid
primary meetings in all the urds' ana eiected
delegates to the city convention whose duty ~
shall be to elect delegates to the State conyen-
ton, which will be empowered to eject delegates
to the Democratic National Convent on,
From the best informed learn that these dele
gates are, with but few exceptions, Favorable 70
the nomination Of General Cass Of TINS TACT
there can be no question find, however one
dissenting voice. 7. Parkin Scott, aeiegate
elect, publicly announces in the Argus To-day,
over his own signature that he for one, is not
for Cass Int opposed to him. and took especial
pains to let his sentiments be known on this mat
ter prior to the election. Mr.. Scott is very
clever gentleman, good lawyer and an active
and influential Democrat. Speaking, however, as
one who takes no part in politics further than
to look through the eye of independence,
must say that my friend Scott is not 50 adroit as
had supposed him to be. He can do no good
by publicly asserting his decided opposition to
the General and if, in the course of eveRts, that
distinguished hero and statesman should be ee-
waited to the Presidential chair, Mr., Scott cannot
look for many favors
think it scarcely admits Of doubt that Gen
eral Cass will get the vote of Maryland in the
National Convention. Every indication points TO
this result Next to him is Douglas.
Tt would be a very handsome contest to see
General Cass and Mr. Fillmore in the field. The
country would be safe under the administration
of either. Every candidate yet spoken of would
make have no doubt, good President
The Wings are warming up, and will soon be
in the field They are full of hope, and, so far as
Maryland is concerned, will enter the field with
energy and undaunted courage Mr.. Fillmore
will get Maryland's first vote in the Wing Ma
tional Convention; of this there is no doubt.
1t is now very well known that our townsman,
John Glenn, esq, has been nominated for the
United States district judgeship of Maryland. He
will fill the high position with ability, and make
a most admirable judge. The appointment gives
general satisfaction.
observe that the Hon. R. NJ McLane, our
late Representative in Congress- has returned
from California, where he has been for year or
more.
A grand humbug was played of upon our citi-
Gems last night They invited to attend
grand monster prize concert, at the new Assem-
bly, Rooms, at the tune of dollar apiece.
Gold watches, diamond rings and other glitter
ing prizes were to be distributed to the fortunate
drawers. About fifteen hundred people were
present-fairly packed in. The whole thing
ended in sort of row. The prizes, excepting
a few trifing ones, were not forthcoming. The
high hopes of the audience were sadly blighted,
and they returned home beautifully tricked
