The Baltimore SUN.

The Baltimore Sun, which is prQtessedly an
or neutral, and not partisan pa
per, alluding to the passage of the Army bill,
on Saturday afternoon, says
eve learn that the whole Of the MARYLAND
delegation the whole Of the South, and all the
national men Of the North, Democrats, voted for
the bill on its final passage"
The idea contained in the last portion Of this
sentence is, that there are no national men
from the North, except Democrats, and that
no Northern men, ercept Democrats, voted for
the bill. This is manifcstly put forth to create
the idea that the americans Of the North did
not vote for the Army bill, and it is thus
thought to prejudice tho Northern national
Americans, who are just as true to the Consti-
tuition and to conservatism as any men
living, and thousand times more national 10

of the supporters of Buchanan in the North.

Rufus Choate.

The Louisville Journal alludes to Mr.. Choate in
this wise
Mr.. Choate, it will be remembered, longed ar
IDENTIFY for the seat upon the bench Of the Supreme
Court of the United States which President Fill
more finally gave to Mr.. Curtis, not only in the
| matured conviction that he would be the better
appointment, but upon the reluctant yet positive
advice OF Mr.. Choate's own most loved and trusted
friends. How far considerations arising from this
bitter disappointment may have driven Mr.. Choate
into the Democratic ranks, those familiar with his
impetuous and high-wrought temperament and
with his quick and burning and inextinguishable
resentments, can determine for themselves. 1t is,
however, a matter of no practical moment. Mr.
Choate is brilliant rhetorican, and, upon the
wrong side of a case, is mastery advocate but
as statesman, even politician, he is an ac-
knowledged failure His pretensions in this respect
exploded disastrously ten or fifteen years ago. His
public influence is absolutely nothing He might
die tomorrow, without producing any more sensi-
BILE void in the political world than the falling of
meteor produces in the physical world He is a
gorgeous humbug.
The above reference to Mr.. Choate's unsuccess
full application for seat on the Bench Of the Su.
preme Court, reminds us that Senator Pearce, Of
Maryland, was also an unsuccessful applicant for a
similar position during the administration of Mr.
Fillmore, and that his application was rejected for

If this fact be questioned Awe refer to the endorse
ment on his application in the files Of the State
Department.
We are further informed that Mr. Pearce was
also an applicant for the place Of United State.
District Judge Of Maryland, and that this applica
tion was rejected because he would not pledge
himself to reside in Baltimore or its vicinity, in.
stead of Chestertown, which is situated on the
Eastern shore Of Maryland, and separated from
the Western shore, where the United States Court,
are held, by the Chesapeake bay. Mr.. Pearce il
the owner Of a farm near Chestertown, on which
he resided, and which he represented to be essen
tial to his support.
We make this statement for the purpose of elu
cidating the probable cause of Mr.. Pearces oppo
sition to Mr.. Fillmore. Mr. Choate and himsel
appear to be in the same boat.
