False Pretences.

A Wing State Convention 80 called, was recent
ly held in Maryland. The object Of the members
seems to be TO drive the best bargain they can
with the Locofocos.
To prevent the latter from being cheated, we
viii state that nearly every prominent member Of
that convention, with the exception Of Mr.. Claude,
who withdrew from the convention when It's object
became apparent, went over to the Locofoco party
last fall They now falsely pretend that they will
60 over, If they sufficiently encouraged by their
new allies. Thus seeking to attain power and con-
sequence under "f false pretences" of being about
to do what they have already done.
We will also state that Governor Pratt was in
Baltimore during the sitting of the convention and
that his room was the headquarters of the man
ayers Of the convention, by whom, under Pratt's
direction, all It's proceedings were arranged.
fpolitical offences were punishable at common
law, the members of this Wing Convention y
would be justly indictable for seeking to " obtain
goods under false pretences." The Democracy Of
Maryland must be on their guard. The cloven
foot of the old Bank Of Maryland is apparent under
the garb Of the wire-pullers of this new scheme of
plumber The horns Of the animal also win show
themselves before long. Look out for them.

How Mr.. Buchanan is to be Defeated.
ihe Washington correspondent of the Herald
thus shows the mode in which Mr.. Buchanan is to
lose the nomination at Cincinnati
"The Herald has predicted the possibility of
Mr.. Buchanan's defeat in the Cincinnati Conven-
tion. can state with confidence that this will be
accomplished, at any sacrifice by parties in this
city, who are themselves candidates for the Presi-
dency, If possible; for what is Mr. Buchanan's out
door strength to him. If he permits himself to abide
the action of the convention even with nine -tenths
OF the people in his favorf Out of Gen. Pisrce's
Ia or lit votes, 98 marked as sure for his re-
nomination, and. are pledged to stand by his for
tunes to the last. Douglass So or 80 win to man
be governed by his wishes, and act under his in
structons; the balance OF the 298 votes will be all
that can be counted upon for Buchanan, even
should there be other candidate to claim share
of it. The leading Pierce men In this city declare
that In the event Of there appearing no chance for
their man, after the first two or three ballotings,
they will go in for Senator Hunter, Of Virginia, and
leave to Douglas to follow their lead for Douglas Is
both personally and politically Objectionable to the
President, but not as much so as Mr. Buchanan
BY this course Gen. Pierce win have the satsfac-
tion, at least of naming the candidate and OF hav-
ing triumphed over both of bis opponents Now,
Is not this reasoning and planning both plausible
and possible as insuriDg the defeat of Mr. Buchsn-
AMI And this is the game that Mr. Pierce has now
resolved upon making his own, should he fail in
the convention"
