AT three council of the Scott Fillmore and Web
ster men, the pot kept boiling last night to late
hour.
The Presidents lsvee well attended; and General
Scott at his house, had host Of yisters.
scotts friends are cool and confident; the Fillmore
delegates desperate and very much excitcd and Web
ster's little band very busy trying to slip in between
the other two.
It is positive fact that Gen Scott has prepared
plausible letter covering tho constitution and compro
misses but touching the Fugitive law gingerly He will
execute the law. but says nothing about the veto.
Tho frat grand obstacle in convention VIII be the plat
form. The Southern wings they will have plat
form split, and separate ticket, with Webster 1t is
likely that the Scott will patch up compro
inise that good many weak brothers from the South
will surrender and the impraotcablss will bc permitted
to go. Doubtless, there will be trouble and h-
clustering. but expect Scotts nomination without
revolution. W.

THE EXCITEMENT IN BALTIMORE.
BALTIMORE, June 15 1852.
The general belief is still that Fillmore Webster viii
be the wig nominee.
The Southern members will not 60 into ballot without
a previous declaration of principles and therefore
should Gen. Scott still remain silent up to the time of
balotting his nomination will then be entirely out of
the question.
A number of the Fillmore delegates from the South
and West have laid down platform which includes tho
measures anality, opposing the doc
trne OF nonntervenon and in favor OF river ana har
Dor improvements to moderate extent. The deega.
tion from Alabama will irst go for Fillmore, and then
Webster. The Georgia delegation, from the present
talk, will go Webster first and last. Several members
opposed the adoption Of any platform by the conven
ton until after the nominations This, 10 s supposed
will be the chief stumbling block in the convention and
will probably proracted and exciting discussion
