BALTIMORE, June S.
General Scott, on his way to Washington, to
meet the Army Board, has spent day or two
in Baltimore, and received from many Of our
citizens a cordial and kindly greeting. The
General looks well, much more so, l think, than
when last saw him here on his return from
the celebrated Blue Lick Exploring Expedition,
and when his expectation of soon being Presi-
dent was to him, as well as many others, ex-
tremely vivid. He is fine specimen of the we'll
preserved American soldier and gentleman
long may he flourish.
The " war of cliques among the democracy
is kept up with bitterness that have never
seen paralleled. The Sun is reaping harvest
from the paper pellets with which the combat
ants pelt one another most unremittingly
through its columns. Many Of these articles
are curiosties in their way. The backslidings
short -cOmings and tergiversations Of the lead
| ers of the cliques are mercilessly raked up from
| the oblivion to which they had hoped they were
consigned, and commented on with acrid bit
terness that betrays how deep seated is the
quarrel.
The Administration has again paid to the
Maryland democracy worthless compliment in
Offering to Governor Lowe the China mission
well knowing that it would be declined. The
declnation is said to have been made entirely
on private grounds, which, put into plain Eng
lisl, means that Governor Lowe is too deeply
offended at President Piefce's refusal to appon
his fatherin- law, Colonel Polk rs Naval Officer
for Baltimore, 70 accept Office at his hands.
am somewhat surprised that Lowe should hav
carried his resentment 50 far; as without for
tune, and not likely to meet with present politi
cal prefernent, the outfit Of the China mission
with its $4,000 salary per annum, would hav
proved a snug birth to slip into at the approach
ing close Of the Gubcrnatoral term.
