sympathy and liberality; and knowing that Hun
gary, If rendered free, can and will gratefully
return these contributions, he has made these bonds
payable short time after this desirable event shall

their representatives In the National Convention,
no more weight can be attached to what he says
than that which is due to the opinions Of any man
speaking for himself only. The Wings of the
South have. unequivocally, made the sustainment
of the Compromise, in all it's parts. sine qua non
to their support Of candidate for the Presidency.
Unless the Whigs Of the North meet them upon
this common ground, and aid them in the selection
of a candidate known to accord with them in feel
ing and sentiment, there be no cooperation
between them. "Gentlemen may as well under
stand this irst as last" There is no division Of
sentiment. 30 far as we advised, in Tennessee,
on this question. Furthermore, we may add, that
we have heard no condemn those Southern
Wings who retired from the last Wing Congress
sional caucus; whilst there is general feeling Of
indignation that there should have been any mecca
city for such course.

TIE Case ~ RldgeIy--Ihe Warkffs, &c.
BALTIMORE. May 7-5 p. m.
tits the general impression that Governor Big
Ter, OF Pennsylvania, will not make requistion Of
Governor Lowe for the delivery of Mr. Ridgely,
who recently shot fugitive slave at Columbia.
Pennsylvania, whilst attempting to arrest him, as
it is understood the investigation Of the case has
proved conclusively that it was altogether the re-
suit OF accident Should he, however make a
requisition, it is equally certain that Governor
Lowe will decline to give him up, on the ground
that he could not in view Of recent legal proceed
ings in that State, have fair and impartial trial.
Mr.. Ridgeiy is attending to his business usual
in the city, calmly awaiting the action Of the two
Governors.
la the Baltimore market, this morning, there
were sales of 600 barrels Howard street flour at
81 81 and 500 barrels at 81 -.
No sales Of stocks reported.
