Presidential Nominations.
Correspondence of the Philadelphia North American

Correspondence OF the Phiadelphe North American.
WASHINGTON, May %.
The most sagacious politicians on the Demo-
cratic side admit complete ignorance as to the
probable candidate. A distinguished leader
wrote yesterday he could not even conjecture who
would be the nominee. Gen. Cass has fallen off
within fortnight, though still at the head Of the
list Delegates from the East and West, who
were counted with confidence, express very diff
ferent intentions here in Washington. Judge
Douglas will loom up larger the second ballot
than is now anticipated Mr.. Buchanan will
nearly tie his most formidable competitor. And,
finally, the struggle will settle down among the
negatives and nondescripts, one of whom will
probably be selected,
Much has been said and written of the pros
poets in the Wing Convention, and estimates
have been fabricated TO suit the inolinations Of
partisans and to recommend them to favor.
Having taken some pains to inform myself on
this subject, and without any disposition to dis
parage the claims of either Of the principal can
didates, / desire to submit computation which
will bear scrutiny. In this statement votes are
conceded to Mr.. Fillmore and Mr.. Webster in the
free States which are kno,on to favor Gen. Scott,
and which will be found under his standard at
the very start if the policy should be deemed
expedient, The estimate refers to the first bal
lot :.

are omitted because they have not elected dele.
gates, and because, also, they are not entitled tc
representation in the Convention, inasmuch as
the professed Wings in the last two States volun-
tarily surrendered their former limited organza-
tion, and the first has hardly ever had even the
name, much less the organization, of Whig
party. The electors of South Carolina are chosen
by tho legislature, and the people have no direct
voice in the election of President
1t is understood here, notwithstanding the ex-
traordinary telegraphic despatch which Mr.. Daw-
son sent to Georgia after the secession from the
Whig caucus, advising the so-called Union party
to send no delegates TO either Of the Conventions
at Baltimore that he and his friends arc now con-
irving set Of delegates for the purpose of for
tifying Mr. Filmores pretensions. 1t is also
known that an agent, DR.. Smith, Of Alexandria,
Va, has been despatched TO South Carolina,
Georgia, and Alabama, with manifesto, signed
by Northern men, urging and entreating the
adoption Of measures for the accomplishment
Of the same object. The first duty of the Con-
vention should be to scrutinize the credentials
Of all such sham delegates as are manufactured
to order by collecting few partisans in a corner
and instructmg them in the duty of obc-
dience These States were the very first to
abandon the administration, and to adopt
the issue upon which they noU profess TO sustain
it as the cornerstone of third party, Of which
Mr.. Fillmore's present enterprising managers
were to be the leaders. What claim right,
moral or political, then, have they TO appear in
Convention of Wings whom they repudiated aud
assailed? But if the naked facts already stated
were not sufficient TO exclude this presumptuous
interference in our councils where the agitators
are neither needed nor expected, there is another
and more positive reason If these bogus dele
gates do appear in the Convention, it will be for
the express purpose of seeding If their insolent
dictation should be scornfully rejected--as it
should be-and of taking up Mr., Fillmore as
sectional candidate afterwards. This scheme,
though not publicly developed has been under
advisement for some time Let our Whig friends
look TO the consprators-the enemies in dis
guise-who will seek then confidence only TO
hetray it.
But, conccding to Mr. Fillmore the whole sup
port Of these three States, hove will the case
