BALTIMORE, April 2S-5 D. m.
The despatch sent you last evening relative to
the Wing ward election of delegates to the City
Convention reversed before you received
1t, and made to say precisely what it ought not
to have said-that the result as far as heard from
was favorable to the election of Scott delegates;
whereas it should have cad that out of twenty five
delegates elected in five wards, all but three were
in favor of President Fillmore.
The meetings were large and most enthusiastic,
and will doubtless convince the city convention that
had they passed their Scott resolutions, heywould
have sadly missed it an expression of the wbig
voice Of the city. The election in the frs. fifteen
wards of the city, which comprise the fourth Con-
gressional district, the result is follows:
Delegates pledged for Fimorc....... IS
Delegates pledged for Scott ........... IL
Majority for Fillmore ...,............. 40
In the 10Th ward there no meeting held, but
one is called this evening, which will doubtless in.
crease the Fillmore delegates to sixty three.
In the five upper wards, which comprise, with
Baltimore, Carroll, and Howard counties, the third
Congressional district, twenty five delegates were
elected, Of whom twenty for Fillmore and five
for Scott. The remainder Of the district will be
equally decisive for Fillmore; so hat the represcn-
tation Of the whole State in the National WING
Convention will be unanimous for Mr.. Fillmore
their fret choice. In the Ninth and Eleventh
wards resolutions were adopted instructing the
delegates elected to vote for Fillmore delegate.
