turned from Mobile informs that the boats their

well informed the subject express the OPT Mon that
the proceeds of the last years cotton crop of Alabama
will be required to pay for the provisions that have

business last year. In place Of making the provision
crop secondary to the cotton crop, is. appre-
bend, the custom of great majority of plant
it should be the settled policy of every planter to
raise at least enough to him. TO do this, a
liberal allowance should be made, In pitching tn
crop, for unpropiiious seasons.

VIRGINIA.

The late Democratic Convention held for the Rich
mond District, appointed Chaistan White, John Y.
Mason, Joseph X. Pendeton and James H. Cox
Delegates to Baltimore. The three first are Buchan-
an men.
Henry A. Wise has also been appointed Delegate
from the Accomac District.
The Richmond Convention adopted the following
Resolution:
ResoiUed, That the South having acquiesced in the
series of measures passed by the last Congress,
known as the Compromise, and the objects of all Of
them having therefore been accomplished, except the
fugitive-slave law, it is the opinion of this conven-
ton that that law should also be faithfully executed
and that candidate for the Presidency should be
sustained by the South who withhods full, prompt,
and explicit avowai Of his approval of the said law
and of his determination to support the same. II
is therefore the wish of this convention that the del
egation from this district shall sustain any measure
proposed in the Baltimore Convention which shall
pledge the democratic party the faithful observ-
ance and execution of the fugitive-slave law"

The Two-THIRDs RULE. Itappears from the jour
nails OF the Democratic Convention which met in Bal
timore in May, l84S that the States which favored
the nomination of Gen. Cass for the Presidency gen.
orally voted for the two-thirds rule, which adoped
by large majority, more than two to one-l75 votes
being cast in the affirmative, and but IS in the mega
tive. Virginia and every Southern State except
Missouri, voted for ii, and likewise Michigan, and
all the Northwestern States, except Ohio, Indiana and
Wisconsin. So cannot perceive that there will
be any difficulty in the adoption of the rule at
the approaching Convention. Indeed, may proper
ly be considered that usage has established it the
fixed parliamentary law in this body. Those States
only that seldom, if ever, democratic vote for
President, are the ones that most opposed to 30
safe measure. The very object of the rule is TO
prevent Wing States which carry but little weight
in the contest before the people, from exercising
undue influence in fosting a nominee upon the par
ty, and thereby jeopardizng the election.

THE CALIFORNIA FUGITIvE- SLAVE BILL. The bill
which has passed the California Legislature, in rea-
ton to fugvesaves, provides for the surrender,
their original masters, of all colored people in Cali
fornia, who slaves before they were brought
into California thus virtually repudiating the doctrine
that California free territory by virtue of its old
Mexican law, and that slaves could not be held there
to service after the conquest. Mr.. Van Buren,,
Der of the Legislature, who figured in New York at
the last Presidential election, free-soiler, voted
for it; while Mr.. Broderick, formerly New York
bunker, bitterly opposed its passage. 1t is said there
are slaves in California to which the bill will be
applicable.

Mr.. Boris LETTER. We are entirely unable to
agree with the conclusion TO which Mr. Bolts comesi in
his late letter, that Gen. Scott would better speak
upon the compromise. During the late Presden-
tial canvass, Mr.. Bolts very clamorors against
General Taylor for not speaking out, and that too
when the General had just declared himself good
Wing as to desire Mr.. Cay's election over that of
any other living man.
Mr. Bolts, who was not satisfied then with the let
tiers of Gen. Taylor, expect the people
be satisfied with reports OF conversations with Gen
Scott. These reports doubt correct, but the
people naturally think that their worthy
hear, and their eyes those of Mr.. Bolts.
Hearsay evidence will pass in the Grand Assizes
of the Popular Court. They demand the best evil
dence which the case will admit. They require the
record. Richmond Republican, (Whtg.)

FITZ HENRY WARREN.

The notorious Fitz Henry Warren, who ought
never 10 have been appointed, has it seems, resigned
his place in the Post Office Department. The WASH
ingtOn Correspondent of the New York Express thus
specifies the grounds of his resignation:
The resignation of Mr. Fitz Henry Warren, in
the T. o. Department was rather unexpected. but
right. He hes been good officer, but very busy
parzan, and just directing the whole force of
his powerful position against Mr.. Fillmore, and Mr..
Hall, under whom he holds his office, with proper
sense of propriety dictated his resignation. His
home has been the headquarters of Gov. Stewards
trIencs, who at very early period of Gen. Taylor's
administration, dictated most of the Post Office APP
pontments in New York, Ohio, Illinois, Indian,
Wisconsin and Michigan, through him.

Candidate. The platform is full specification of

principles. Noquestion is lodged, but all fairly and

the next Legislature. and the approval of it by the
people, to engra ii in the Constitution, advo,

With such frank, open-handed measures, our party
must surely overcome the ambiguous, aI-sided pro-
ceedings of its opponents. The people were too
shamefully humbugged in the last Presidential cleo
ton-ihe modification has sunk too deep into their
minds for them to become the willing dupes
of such political jugglery.
