FATAL MIsrAKE.-We hear, that the
wife of Mr.. Walter Furlong, of Vine
gar Hill, died last Tuesday, under very
painful circumstances. She had been
unwell, and sent to a druggist for dose
of Salts. He sent her poison, it is sup
posed through mistake; she took it, and
died in about fifteen minutes. We did
not hear the full particulars, but learn
that the medicine was not obtained at
any of the drug stores in Galena.-Ga-

18th District--Whig Convention.

The Democratic, Wing Delegates for the
towns of Beetown, Cassvie, Patch Grove and
Lancaster, will meet in Convention, at Bee
town, on Saturday, the Dist day of October
next, at 10 O'Clock A. NJ, for the purpose of
choosing suitable person to represent this
district in the next Legislature. The ratio of
representation will be
Beetown, 9 Patch Grove, 8
Cassville, Lancaster, 5
b7-Town Committees win give notice i'm
mediately that the Convention may be full.
G5-We regret the circumstances that pre-
vented the holding of the Convention on the
hope and believe it will be harmless in its eff
fects. There appears to be much unanimity of
feeling among the Whigs--a sort of fixed de-
termination to succeed if honorable exertion
will be etfcacious. We received commune
cation from the Town Committee of Beetown,
breathing the right spirit. We hope all will
be animated with like feeling. They wish
to have sufficient time given to allow each
town to appoint delegates who may propose
such men as they may think it is for the in
terest of the party to support.
The selection of candidate for the Assem-
bly, is a matter of more consequence than many
would at first suppose. A Senator in Congress
is 10 be elected, and it may be within the pow
er of the Wing portion of the Legislature to
throw an influence into the scale which will
be decisive. We do not look for the election
of Whig-we only wish for the least of two
evils. Let this be borne in mind when nomi-
nations are made.

On the Move.

The Democratic nominee for Congress in
this District, is using his time and talents to
secure seat in the House. We hear of him
in all directions-one man, from Fennimore
says, I" he's mighty slick hand to electioneer
but he can't come it 7, We only regret that
he cannot have company-but Mr.. Cole is re-
luctantly compelled to forego the pleasure of a
campaign with his political opponent. Mr..
Eastman's visits tend to wake up the Wings
No sooner is he gone than they at once con-
cIude that they have duty to perform-an OBJ
legation, which they owe to Mr.. Cole, as the
Wing nominee, TO put forth exertion, in his be-
half which his duties at Washington have COM
PEELED him to omit.
Wings Of Grant Your duty is plain-in ev-
cry day contact with your neighbors you can
speak good word for your candidate, and com
ing from those who are esteemed friends, it
carries with it a weight which nothing else
not even the presence of Mr.. Cole himself,
could exert Then let us be Up and doing
Neighboring Counties have put on the harness
and have gone into the work with will-the
Wings of Grant, we are confident, will second
their exertions. We wish to have an expression
from every town in the county-some one in
each town, acquainted with the general senti-
ment would do us favor by writing.
Court is now fairly under way but we do
not think much will be done. The New Rules
make it necessary that notice should be Civ
en- before trial can be had-this has not been
done, consequently little business of civil
nature will come before the Court.

manslaughter, (for killing Waddle) is to take

The Convention.

On the morning Of the 18th, the sections of
the Bill Of Rights, already ordered TO be en-
crossed came up on the question Of their
passage. A motion was made TO rc-commit
with instructions to so amend the section rel
alive to taking private property for public
uses, that the damages TO be assessed should
be rendered as the Legislature may hereafter
direct, instead Of saying "to the owner" as
in the words Of the section. The argument
being that the owner Of land through which
a Railroad route may run, might live in Eu-
rope, or might not be known at all, &c. The
motion was rejected by IL majority, and after
several other unsuccessful motions the section
passed under the operation Of the previous
question, BY 81 to &c.
The negro immigration was then taken up
and debated. The pending proposition is
motion to refer the section and amendments
to a select committee of one from each Con-
gressional District to report on the best plan
of separating the white and black races, and
to report all provisions on that subject in one
article. to be separately submitted to the peo-
pie. The debate has been quite animated.
