The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Council OF
Bishops, sc.
BALTMoRE, May l4-1O p. m
Political matters begin to run pretty high in
our city. find that large portion of the lead
ing public Wing politicians in favor of the re-
election of Mr.. Fillmore, but among the rank and
fe-those who do the voting, and count up on
the day of election-there is very significant
number of Scott men. If the National Conven-
ton should nominate the old hero there will be
no difficulty in wheeling into rank. His name, and
fame, and patriotism, and military glory, will
spread like wild-fre and take captive thousands
upon thousands For my own part, should be
glad to give him my support, heart and soul.
And yet, if Mr.. Fillmore, or any other sound
Wing, is put in nomination, / am at their service
shall only wish to be satisfied in regard to the
following questions: Is he a good Wing? Is he
sound upon the Compromise ?--or, in other words
is he in favor of sustaining the present Compro-
mise?
Several leading Democrats, with whom l have
conversed are not exactly favorable to Mr.. Cass,
although Maryland will give her first vote in the
Convention for him. do not pretend much to
prognosticatng, but my impression is, that Gen.
Cass cannot get the nomination. Many Demo-
Gratis are taking up an idea that he will be the
easiest man beaten. Buchanan's chances, in my
Judgment, are better than his.
The young man, Creamer who was shot at and
wounded yesterday morning, by Mr.. League,
father of the young girl to whom he proved false
has, am told, taken his departure, wounded as
he was, for parts unknown, accompanied by his
youthful BRIDE The case is a most aggravated
one. He has been instrumental in breaking up
the peace and happiness Of whole family. 1t is
really not to be wondered at that the exasperated
and broken hearted father sought thus to avenge
the wrongs of an injured daughter There is, in
my humble judgment, no crime so black and
damning as that of seducer. murderer is
respectable compared with SUCH He only kills one
and disgrace upon families and friends but the
destroyer of innocence and female virtue murders,
piecemeal, father, mother daughters, brothers,
and friends. He breaks up the foundation of
domestic happiness, and supplants it with ever
lasting misery. No punishment could be too
side by side with the midnight assassin.
Our legislature has at last agreed to adjourn.
on the 31st instant, after session of nearly six
months spent in waste of time. They have yet
done nothing of Importance.
| have never seen vegetation come forward so
rapidly and beautifully The country looks mag
nifcently glorious: it is robed in natures love-
lest attire, and the young crops-grain, fruit,
&c.-promise most abundant.
The National Council of Bishops is still in ses-
sion, but will probably adjourn tomorrow. They
are noble and intellectual-looking body of di-
vines.
Business is steady, but not active. predicted,
in one of my letters in the Telegraph, a week
ago. that -four would decline So it has, at the
