In The Boston atlas | noticed a table
diving the estimated strength of the three Wing cand
dates for the Presidency it believed the 'oes
would stand in the Baltimore Wing Convention to be
held near the middle Of June in which table the votes
nf this State are put down for Scott and for Web
,er This same table have seen in other papers be-
aides The alias In The Boston Eoening Journal no
iced another and quite different table upon the same
subject and in that estimate the votes of this State were
given for Webster and for Scott This table, too, Is
going the rounds of the press
Now as estimate the Of this State in the coming
National Convention record them thus: On the first
two or three balotings-should there be many-four
of the Delegates will vote for Webster should he net be
at either OF the baotngs stronger than President FIJI
more and after the second or the third ballot the nve
VOTES of this State will be given, agreeAOy TO the wishes
of fvesxtbs of the Wings of the State, for Winfield
Scott should Mr.. Finores friends go over to Mr..
Webster on the second third ballot then thlak tue
New Hampshire votes will be given for SCOT when sucn
going over shall take place. Personally the Dell gates
ale friendly to Mr. Webster and yet they know TO be
their duty TO that Gen. Scot shall be nominated and
frem that duty they will not shrink as honorable men
they cannot do Otherwise Chosen as our Delegates
we're The friends OF Gen. s. will tolerate their yoiing
once OF twice for Mr. Web,teras he was native OF the
State and most not all of the Delegates have been, In
a. n
every six of the Wings OF the Granite state are opposed
10 Mr. Webs els nomination. the DELEGATES VIII NOT vote
% approve of the Fugitive Slave law nor Tor Mr. Web
s.er's actual nomination.
some five months ago, OF word had been said, In
single Wing paper in this State, about choosing tue
Delegates IN the Congressional Districts to represent
this State In the National Convention and the Wings OF
the State were not little surprised when they learned
chat six Delegates had been chosen by the Convention
which was Convent IN for State purposes mainly, ana
one but very tbiny attended In TINS ConsresslonS
District but twelve of the fifty towns were represented
and some of them but partially and then not by Del
egstes chosen but by oicehoders under the General
Government who were there as volunteers. In the
Northern District but III Of the ~ towns were repre-
sened or partially represented IN the State Conver-
ton and yet that Convention Delegates were chosen
for both Of those Districts, when not word had been
hinied in the call for the State Convention, Sr In
/ single Wing paper that such Delegates would be
chosen think less than IS of the 23O towns In the STATE
represented in the Convention, and every Wang
etture that Mr. SAWYER would be renOmnated Tor GOV.
ernor little pains taken 10 have tlll Convention
A secret movement had been made by or. Weosters
friends and small majority seemed to acqulesce In the
dongs OF the few men who seemed TO control the 90
ngs of the Convention. The Delegates, however,
know that nearly all the Nhigs OF tho State are Tor
Gen Scott and they will undoubtedly feel bound to
give the vote OF the State for him whenever viii se,
I cure his nomination. ard they are too highminded
men 10 msrepresent the well known wishes oil tho
Wings Of the State, by being the cause ut the nomlns-
Con Of any Of the threc candidates except Gen. s.
Had meetings been called In the Congressional
hsficts 10 choose Delegates, at any time during the
hat three months have doubt but every Delegate
elected from this State, would have been friend oil
Scott Why few were the Wings here who ap'
proved of Mr. Webster's speech of the 7th OF March,
ls that but Wing paper in the State and that one
having the smallest circulation of them AL approved oi
hs cowse and when he looked about for papers to be
appointed print the laws At the then next session OF
Congress- he could find only this one lidle Wing paper
Trust in the matter and he was driven 10 the neceS'
y to select religious sectsri9n psper Tor the other

entail and widely circulated papers had been the ohcal
organs during the previous session oil Congress but
ney condemned the Fugitive Slave law and for that
Cause Mr.. Webster prescribed then, as he did Ihs
feglahd Advertiser and The ksHHebcc Journal In Maine
TIE ARas In Boston, The HdcAaaR and Journal at
hortpeher, VI. The ErciiRg Journal AZ Albany, and
ser influential Wing papers in most OF the Free States
Any hopes entertsinrd BY Mr. Webster or Mr.. Fill
nofes friends at The South, that any Wing Delegate
run this State will 10 put the Whigs OF the South
sder bonds to keep the pesoe, by driving the Fugitive
save law into the Wing Platform at Baltimore next
month, are hopes never to be realized They viii do
such degrading thing, and If they could DE induced
70 get so slayehke, both they and their act would be
sernly rebuked by the Wings OF the State
The South should agitating this matter, II they
90 not agitation such they profess to condemn
ba one Wing Senator and three Wing Representatives
ton the Free States voted for the F1ghye Slave law.

TIE Loco.Foco candidates who have pledged veto
Sny law repeating the Fugitive Slave law will never
troubled with Presidential duties. One Of the most
s.aoennal Of the party In NewEnglsnd Told me an
soar ago. that who had committed himself 10
'ot Of The odioHs onsnan Pop9 PriaciPts could DC
Seceo even II he were TO be nominated. he said he
sPed no such man would DO trusted By the American
rsvpae and this gentleman speaks the sentiments Of
TIniuoes OF his party. Gen Scott would carry every
As"E nssnd State against such candidate.
