gia and Alabama. entitled to 10 votes, left out of
the count by the correspondent, but they are
appointing delegates in favor of Mr. Fillmore, who
will doubt attend the convention. The writer adds
that there considerations which may induce the
Scott to scatter their strength the first ballot
and he then predicts that Gen. Scott will receive 1872
votes the first ballot, two of whom will be from
Maryland five from Virginia, eight from Massachu-
setts, and four from Kentucky.

devotion to Liquor, which has long rendered him a
terror and disgrace to his friends and has at length
probably led him TO fellon's doom. John Went

were as haterlng those of any young man in the

to have equaed those of the most eloquent divines
