had departed it seemed as though the man
who had first flung back upon him hi, insolent
cohorts at Buena Vista. was thus reserved for the
glorious task of totally destroying him. His
officers and men having lost faith. deserted him,
and in six days after this most memorable action,
with meagre body guard n $50 men, he went
into voluntary exile at Tehuacan. It was,
therefore, the browning battle of the war and
the credit of all the important results springing
from it, belongs to, and ought TO be enjoyed by
Brigader General Joseph Lane.
OF what avail is it to chronicle brave deeds in
the abstract! Actions in themselves gallant
are only valued by their consequences. To
fight battle successfully is one thing but to
produce q result conducting to the great object
of the war-decaration, is another. The battle
of HuamantIa was then the cosing scene Of
the great drama and when the curtain fell
upon that struggle, the spirit of hostility de-
parted with the exit Of its principal actor.

baltimore Convention.

The New York Posi- has prepared the follow
ing table showing the complexion of the different
delegates. We have examined it and find il
accurate, as far as it goes. Of course the COM
bnations that have been and will be made,
furnish material for speculation.
"The names of all the delegates have not
reached us, but enough is known to enable us
to determine pretty accurately the complexion
of the first ballot. Though it is probable that
no two persons who will be presented to the
convention have fewer chances Of nomination
than the two who will start with the highest
number of votes, yet it may be interesting to our
readers to see how the States appear to stand af
fected towards the several candidates. We have
prepared the following table with great care, and
venture to predict that the vote in convention,
on the first ballot, will not vary from iten votes,
unless certain bogus delegate, who processes
to have authority to cast the vote Of South
Carolina, is admitted. The fact that he is I'M
derstood to have pledged himself to Douglas
will probably prevent his admission. Should
the convention decide to receive him, 10 should
be added to the Douglas vote, making it &c.

GEN. BUTLER-Col. Humphrey Marshall, in
one of his reccn. speeches in Congress, speaks
in the following generous strain of COL Will

proper occasions, recognise the fact that his
interests are in hands more competent than
mine to do them justice before the tribunal OF

pleasure thus publicly to say--I never have en-.

enemies. believe him to be manly, straight

the purity of his private life, and his fidelity to
every observance Of personal honor, which is
not only unstained by reproach but above sus.
picion. Whatever political opinions he may
entertain, cannot doubt the sincerity with
which he maintains hem or the candor with
which he always express 90 them, for though we
are political adversrries, separated by opinions
which are irreconcilable, must say, that do

Another split is threatened in the Cotistitu-
tionaI Union parties Of Georgia and Alabama
the extent of which we have no means ofjudg-
ing Candor compels US to say that we do moi
believe the bulk of either of these parties to be
implicated in this movement, which is to send
delegates to the Wing convention.
An article signed "Many Voters," appears in
the Chronicle d. Sentinel ofthe 10Th, and in the
Savannah Republican and in the Southern he.
corder of the 18th, respectively, calling on the
,, friends of FILLMORE to send delegates to the
Wing convention to support his pretensions for
the Presidency.
The Southern Recorder goes in for the move
ment. 1t says: ave cannot see shadow OF
objection to this procedure" The Chronicle 4
Sentinel opposes it. The Savannah Republican
lodges it, one way or the other. These three
are among the leading Constitutional Union pa
pers of the State.
Here is the proposition referred to:
"Perhaps it is now too late to call a State
convention of the friends Of Mr.. Fillmore to APP
point delegates, but there is yet time to hold
Congressional district conventions, and each
Congressional district can appoint its own dele
CATION, to consist of one or more persons, as
may be thought proper.
1t is proposed, then, that each Congressional
district appoint delegates to the convention ut
Baltimore on the 10Th of June next. There is
vet time to do il, if each district will move at
once, and call Il convention
To this course Of the friends Of Mr.. Fillmore,
no one can properly object. They simply claim
the right which belongs to every freeman OF our
countryside right to indicate whom they pre-
fer as a candidate for the Presidency. It is pro
posed and intended that the delegate be sent in
structed to vote for Fillmore and the compro-
mise measures, and if these be overslaughed in
the convention, then to retire"
"AcTloN" Under this head the Mobile Ad.
uertiSer copies and comments upon All ar iclc
from the Journal urging a representation the
Wing party of Alabama in the Wing national
convention.
The Advertiser closes its comments with the
following emphatic and gngerly announcement,
of which, let all Union men take due notice:
'This State WILL BE represented in the Wing
national convention. 1t is "fixed fact" and
those who don't like it may let it alone, or scold
on, Just as they please"
The small caps are its own
We would just ask these very enthusiastic
FiLLMoRE-ines three questions.
Has Mr. FILLMORE ever recanted the Adolf
ton doctrines of his Erie letter?
Did he not sign the fugitive slave law only
after publicly and formally obtaining the opinion
of his Attorney General, as to its legality
What proofs has he ever given that he is a
whit sounder on the slavery question than Gen.

the meeting should be held on Saturday after
noon next, at the Exchange; but in view Of the
interest now excited in the several political con
venions, State and national, about assembling
in this city, il has been deemed advisable that
the Southern trade meeting be postponed until
after all these have been held In the meantime
the arrangements will be more fully perfected
therefor and when Baltimore shall finally have
dispensed the rites of hospitality to all who shall
attend the conventions of either party, the time
and place may be determined for this business

STILL LATER FROM MExIco.-The New Or
leans Picoyune has advices from Vera Cruz to
the 7th inst. On the day previous Mexican
man of-war brig and three cutters left Vera
Cruz with troops, bound for the CoatzacoaIcos
river and the Isthmus of Tehuantepec The
Mexican steamship State of Mexico was taking
in powder and guns for the same destination.
The great bone Of contention, the Tehuante-
pee road, was still being discussed in Congress.
They demand S2,OOO0OO for the right of way
over the lsthmus. A passenger who conversed
on the subject with the American consul Mt

states MAT the mass Of the lower orders of the
mex'can people are opposed to the confirmation
OF the lehuantepec treaty in any FORM Bust
ness was very dull at Vera Cruz and The citv
