ago these political neophytes were not
willing to submit the claims of Webster to
a Wing National Convention. Then the
the South was to take him up, without
Convention, and make him President, as a
reward for his 9TH of March speech Now
he is to submit his claims to Wing Con-
vension. Quite charge Of position this
These same verdant politicians that were
so confident oneyear ago that the South

ton. Barton Bell and Dawes, are not the
the only men among the so-caled Webster
Delegates, who are opposed to him and in
favor Of Scott. Should Scott and Fillmore
be taken away, no man of the least political
sagacity supposes that Webster would get
so votes in the Wing National Convention
Weak as is the Wing party, it will never
commit the folly of placing Daniel Web
ster before the country as its candidate.
He could not obtain 40 electoral votes in
the Union, and every man of political sagac-
ity knows it. He is politically down

Scott has beyond all doubt a decided
majority Of the Convention. For months
bis nomination has been settled question.
Fillmore and Webster for months have been
out Of the question. Their protested friends
are only dSputing about terms. Scott,
was for the Compromises. He attended
the Castle Garden meeting, in December,
1850, when the Union Safety Committee
was Iprmed. Mr.. Bolts, in his recent
letter, says -

posed to any disturbance, agitation or al

Southern politicians are only contending
for terms, and resolutions will doubtless be
adopted by the Convention to satisfy them.
Scott will then be nominated, and perhaps
with him Jones, who has commended him
self to the Wings by declaring that he had

amendment by Congress as will render the
act efficient and operative in this respect, is
imperatively necessary.

The Result at Baltimore

The result Of the unequalled struggle at the
Baltimore Convention last week, SO far as re-
CARDS the nomination of Gen. Franklin Pierce
of New Hampshire, for the Presidency, will be
received by the country, we think, with surprise
But there are some streaks of consolation in it,,
even for the Free Democracy For although
Gen. Pierce is undoubtedly Hunker enough in
all conscience.--enough So indeed, to make him
a true and fit exponent of the views and principles
that prevailed in the double geared bunker Con.

The Political CHARACTER OF JUDGEs-
The following passage from a speech made
in Congress recently, by Mr. Floyd, of
New York, contains views which are be-
ginning to have considerable currency among
thinking and observing persons -
" In relation to the clause concerning
fugitive slaves, however, the Supreme Court
Of the United States, with its characteristic
tendency consolidation, which has ever
been so much feared by the republicans
of this country, has decided that to Con.
gress belongs the rigt of legisating upon
the subject of the taking aud delivery of
fugitive slaVes-a decision, in my humble
opinion, erroneous as a legal proposition,
most unfortunate for those interested in
the execution of this provision of our Con-
stitution, and confirming what Was the

The rejection of Robert Rantcul.

The rejection of the Hon. R. Rantoul as DEL
egate to the Baltimore Convention or properly
his election from seat, TO which he was regu-
latY appointed by vast majority OF the demo-
Gratis of his district, and giving the place to Lord
of Salem who vas sent their by a small clique
of Hunker8, as narrow minded and bitter as him
self, is one of those political outrages which for
ever leave the stamp of disgrace on the body
enacting them. The vote en- his rejection or what
was considered the same, the admission Of Lord
was 1914 to So showing that more than two-thrds
of the convention were concerned in measure,
which is not only studied blow at all free prin-
ciples, but direct insult to the whole democra.
cy of New England. We all know why Mr..
Rantoul was voted out of his seat, and why the
man not entitled, was admitted. 1t was obvious
ly, and we presume avowedIy, because one was
a free and fearlesSly independent democrat. and
the other subservient tool of the slave power.
After striking down SO strong man, and SO great
public favorte as MI Rantoul, it might well
be expected that Messrs. Thomas and Cain, the
two free democratic delegates from Vermont,
would be thrown overheard as they were. This
proceeding alone, if there were no other, sufi
ciently marks the character Of that Convention
but there are plenty of others of the same stamp,
and they all combine to show it the most intense.
