RURYING ALIVE.

Much has of late been said on this subject,

rb,, many more cases of burying alive occur
than is generally supposed. We gave in our

The manuscript Of the following lines acci-

the writing, the discoIoration of the paper, and
other evidences, prove their originality and an

they reached this side OF the Atlantic. The

The greatest excitement prevailed at the an
nouncemeut Of this vote, with cheering for
Fillmore.
A deIegate from Alabama then moved to de-
clare the nomination unanimous.
Mr.. Dayton, of New Jersey, made an elo.
quent speech on the character and services Of
Gen. Scott, the nominee, and is, at twenty-five
minutes past one, still speaking. His address
comprises a special eulogy on the nominee, and
an appeal to the South in bis behalf, urging
that he is entitled to the earnest support of all
as proved by the course of Alabama and Ohio.
Several delegations from the Southern States
stated that the adoption by Gen. Scott OF the
platform proposed by them, would remove all
objection on their part with regard to his nomi-
nation.
