BALTIMORE. June 17--I21s p. NJ.
The current is still strong against Scott, and the only
hope Of his friends is that they may be able to
foment some dissensons between the friends Of Web
and Fillmore and take advantage Of it. The Web
ster men stand firm, and argue that, he holds the
balance Of power between Scott and Fillmore, he should
be taken as a compromise. The real Fillmore men, it
is but justice say very little to whether he
Webster is nominated, They regard the fight as
of principles and they consider that tho defeat of
the Seward faction will be all sufficient triumph.
This being the case. there is not a friend of Fill
who il not willing to cast his vote for Webster if
it be demonstrated il will his nomination
But the fear is that the moment any of the delegates
instructed for Fillmore change their votes to Webster
certain delegates in Virginia. Kentucky and Tcnues-
of the Jones stripe may seize upon it to
vote for Scott and perhaps carry him. The experiment
is dangerous and it is than probable, there
fore that Eimoies friends will hold either till he
ges the nomination. n is demonstrated they elect
in favor of the Vermont Fillmore delegates 1t is be-
eyed they will also report in favor Of the New York
tesants and throw overheard the Asor House dicta-
