WASHINGTON CITY, March 4, 1852.
The Supreme Coust Of the United States have decd-
ed the suit of Mrs Myra s. Gaines Re adverse
to Mrs. Gaines. Judges Daniel and Taney dissenting
from the opinions oil the majority. Public feeling at
Washington in favor of Mrs. Gaines many think
the decision erroneous.
The House of Representatives have passed the bill
making Land Warrants assignable, and the Senate
amended the bill allow Receivers and Registers
Of Land Offices additional compensation for locating
Land Warrants; this amendment the House disagree
and is feared the hill will pass for the transfer Of
Land Warrants without this amendment prevails the
latter branch OF Congress.
The city is full Of strangers and Pennsylyania Ave
is daily crowded with beauty and fashion from all
lands and localities. Washington Is exceedingly gay
and the winter has passed away much the regret Of
those who have bestowed great attention the
attractions offered during the long winter evenings.

Convention if Gen. Cass fails and the signs Of the times

the Democratic Convention OF Indiana are highly ap-

The Wing Convention in Kentucky have nominated
Mard Fillmore for the Presidency, and adopted strong
resolutions in favor of the compromise measures The
Wings of Indiana in Convention nominated Gen. Scott

pleasing him when the nominations were made. He
becomes very indignant that all the old officers
renomnated and thinks it would be advisable for their
friends to do something desperate in the mattervote
the whig ticket we suppose These gentlemen desire
not his aid, advice, sympathy. Mr.. Hackleman
thinks perfect outrage that Gov Wright should be
re-nominated. What would he think of his reelection
by at least 20 900 majorityl
We have doubt the whg papers would be perfectly
delighted with quarrel in the democratic party, in
that alone would lie their only hope Of success bat there
is not democrat in the State who for con-
templates the remotest possibility Of such thing.
From every part of the State such a unanimous and
hearty in the nominations has been given by
the press and members Of the democratic party, that
the election of the whole ticket by majority entirely
unprecedented is no longer a matter of doubt. Our
whg friends, who shedding crocodile because
the democrats recognized in the late Convention, the
principle Of rotation in office, had better bottle their
