WASHINGTON, d. e., June 22d.
The Wings at Baltimore have not yet coms
pleted their nominations. After balloting 46
times, the result last night, was pretty much as
it had been at the first ballot. There is in the
Convention the bitterest feeling manifested by
the friends Of the different candidates. The
Scott men, will have none other to rule in the
Abolition synagogue. The Fillmore men will
not vote for Scott, and the Webster men in the
Convention, forming small moietv, it appears,
will not support either Scott, Fillmore. So
far as the balloiing has progressed such is the
fact All are jealous of each other, and none Of
the friends Of either, after forty-nine trials seem
willing to abandon their favorite. Raymond,
the Abolition editor Of the N. York Times, has
proclaimed, that if Scott is not the nominee,
the N. York delegation will not abide by the
decision of the Convention; hence, you may
look out tor breakers, if on assembling to- o-mor-
row, the Convention should fix on some other
person. The convention adjourned on Satur-
the 21st inst Various conjectures are ailoat
on the subject in reference to the future ballot
ing. Some think they will make no nomina.
tion at all, while others believe they will, and
that unanimity will follow, after all this discor-
dance in the Convention. la case no nomina-
ton is no,o made, it has been proposed by MIR
Bolts, of Va, that the Convention adjourn, to
meet at Cincinnati, in August next will
advise you Of the final decision Of the Conven.
ton.
There is no mistake in this one thing the
Wing party are giving themselves great deal
Of unnecessary trouble in reference to their
nominations. 1t is a fixed fact as Caleb CusI,-
ing, says, they are 'beaten party, and cannot
rally any more as a national party, SO long as
they adhere to the controlling influence Of MIR
Seward and Abolition. Additional tendencies,
are all sectional, hence, any candidate nomina.
ted by the abolition division of whiggery can
not unite the Southern and Western States in
his favor. The thing is impossible, even to ex-
pect Abolition to be formed of any nationality
The greatest amount Of enthusiasm prevails in
the ranks of the democratic party throughout
the country. l have no doubt but that we shall
have glorious and triumphant victory, and that
FRAsKLIN PIERCE, of New Hampshire, and
WILLIAM r. KING, of Alabama, will be induc-
ted into Office on the 4th of March 1853, amds,
the plaudits and rejoic,ngs of thousands upon
thousands of the delighted democracy of the
land. The Patriot CAss approves of the selec.
ton made by the Democratic Convention, and
will give the above ticket his powerful in1u
ence and support. The sterling worth of Gen
CAss,s a sure guarantee,of what we may expect
from the North Western States. Your owr
patriotic Iowa will not be behind the best o.
of States in rolling up her majority for PIERc,
ard KING. Permit me 10 say, that Gen
PIERcE while in the Army of the U States
won, by his kindness to the Soldier, his atten
ton to their wants, and in his affable demeanol
OF the soldier as we'll as the officers of the en-
tire army. have no doubt, but in any point o.
view, his conduct will be fully approved by the
democracy of the country-and his private
worth, with patriotic devotion to his country
will obtain for him large and triumphant vote
in t,oenty three States of tn. Union Less than
a majority in t,oenty three States, we shall be
greatly disappointed. aas .s.-.s.. #..
presume you have seen the publication o
Mr.. Campbell of Illinois, charging your Sen.
ators with colusion, in wishing to extend the
benefits of the extension of the Rail Road to
Dubuque. Here is pretty charge truly. A
member Of Congress, such as Mr.. Campbell
to charge Senators with colluson, in their duty
to the State of Iowa. The principles of Mr.
Campbell mu't SET gerry loose upon his shotders
in making such charge, when he has been
cheek by jo,ol with abolition against the interes,
of Illinois, and the whole Union Consistency
is very valuable ingredient with some
MIR. Campbell should be remembered for
his truthfulness. The people of Illinois
must be well served, if they can countenance a
renegade in Congress. Senators DoDeE and
JorEs, both say, under their own hand, that the
assertion of Mr.. Campbell is devoid of truth
And there can be no question Of that fact, for
they are men that do not trife with such sub
jects. Yours. ,aa.
