The aiiilcdgevl'e correspondent Of Ike Au-
susla Cons:iluiionaist says:
"You vili perceive tia, Jhdae Dawson was
no, elected without, some decay, during which he
mus! have been on IN en.er hook nj Anxiety
Il was in the power OF The Democrats al any time
10 terminate MS suspense, and few did, on the
last ballot, by voting for him. They really wish
I'd him elected, and would NOT have allowed any
other Wing 10 run in, had he great body OF the
Wings, by any freak. been Induced 10 abandon
their nominee and take up any other. The De-
mocra,s preferred Judge Dawson, because his
politics have more affinity TO theirs Than almost
any other Wing al all prominent. But they &c.
neraly preferred TO lc, the Wings settle their own
family qnarIes.
1.-THE Dem rats, you perceive, took occasion
to compliment the veteran Twiess BY vote,

We learn from The Wing thai letter from a
member Of the Wyhcvic Convention TO a gen.
lleman in this city, states ,ha, that body decided,
BY vote of ten to six, (each delegation, we pre-
sumo, giving one vole,) in favor olIhe Richmond
aud Ohio Railroad, via LYnchburg, in preference
to The more Southern route. The writer Gays:
Il Go hope lha, Richmond will now respond TO
the Souttnfa, il she would not 10 Lynchbufg.

Richmond will take even $4,000 dollars. The
Southwest will certainly take that amount, and

The Whig cannot doub; thai a liberal sub
scfiplicn will BE made 10 The stock Of the con-
pany in this cily-"one OF our mos, sagacous
citizens" having authorized that paper 10 say tha;
"a considerable majority Of the business men OF
the city, Of whom he is himself one OF The most
extensive, are decidedly in favor OF this scheme"
