tits understood here that Gen. Cass will
have many more votes in the National Con-
veption than any other candidate; and should
the adoption of the two-third rule prevent
his nomination, his friends will still be able
to furnish the nominee of the party. This
is an important advantage, and one that will
be used by skilful politicians. 1t disposes
of Mr. Buchanan, the powerful rival of the
distinguished Senator from Michigan and Of
Douglass, Marcy and Butler Itrarely hap.
pens in deliberative assembly that major
ity cannot obtain their second, if not their
first choice, under the two third rule. Mr.
Van Buren's friends did this in the nominal
ton of Mr.. Polk, although it was rendered
to Mr. Silas Wright who with rare devotion
to his friend Mr.. Van Buren,, virtually re-
fused to be President.
Considering the strength of the Democrat
ic party in the United States, it is matter
the supporters of Gen. Cass design to con-
centrate, in case their first choice is uuattaiu-
able. If l venture conjecture on this
point, it must be regarded as nothing more
than one; but, there is reason to suppose that
Daniel S. Dickinson, of New York, who is
not a candidate, is the man. He equals the
late Mr.. Wright in fidelity to his friends, and
more than equals him in the manliness with
which he avowS his principles, and the fear
lessness with which he supports them, wheth-
err in the Senate of New York, in the L. 5.
Senate, or before the people in popular as
Semblies. When Messls. NanBuren, Wright,

Proviso, and Gov. Marcy stood ao,rhere, and
Mr.. Webster complained that they "had
stolen his thunder" the far-seeing states
manship of Dickinson told them all that
they were wrong in denationalizing the two
great parties and that they were jeopardine
the peace of the country, if not the stability
Of the Government.

THE Hon Jno A. Wilcox, Representa-

pretension, the document in question would
be called, what it parports to be, a speech,
and no doubt received as such all the pre-
paration Of "maidcn effort" the random
and hurried nature of the forensic favor,
might appropriately have been followed with
the usual epistolary formula of, "yours in
haste, &C." Wilcox is a warm-hearted, So
cial, and generous fellow, but is unfortu-
nately liable to the indiscrctons of an i'm
pulsiye temperament, not the least striking
Of which is the unpromising tone of the
speech before US. It's harsh, ultra and Zero
ciOus spirit is more in keeping with the &C
cumulated rancor of Footo or Beuton, thar
that modesty, to say nothing of respect fol
usage, or the opinions of others, which shoulc

IT appears from the Mobile Register that
the sister and brothcr-in-law of Theodore
Nye, who was murdered atthe Eutaw House,
on the 26th ult., arrived in that city on Sun
day, for the purpose of scrutinizing the cir
cumstances of that diabolical tragedy, and
identifying the body of the deceased. Il
appears that the unfortunate young man had
secured policy of insurance upon his life
in favor of his father in an office at Cincin
natl, where the latter resides, and that il
will be necessary to disinter the remains tt
identify the person.

CONVICTION OF RUFUS GREENE.-The
case of Rufus Greene, late Secretary of the
Firemen's Insurance Company, came up for
trial on the 9th at Mobile, and resulted in
conviction Of an offense, the penalty of
which is imprisonment in the penitentiary.
a few years since no man stood higher in
this State in public opinion for all those
qualities deemed estimable among men, and
apparently deservedly so. In an evil hour,
he yielded to the temptation of dishonesty,
and engaged in a series of dishonest transac-
tions, which have resulted in placing him in
a Te1on 5 cell. ne was, says the Mobile Id.
yertiser, indicted for forging the name Of
Daniel Robertson on his (Groene's) official
bond as Secretary of the Firemen's Insu,
rance Company. The whole morning wa,
consumed in procuring jury. The case wal
conducted by the Solicitor d. G. Anderson
Esq, and w. III. Plat, on the part of tht
State, and by Messrs. j. A. Campbell anC
B. B. Breedin, for the defence. The speecl
of Mr.. Campbell was characterized BIZ hi
usual ability, and was we'll calculated fo
having effect. Mr.. Greene made some feel
ing and affecting remarks in reference to.hi
melancholy situation, but not being fanilia
with judicial proceedings, he was interrupt
ed by the Solicitor, at whose suggestion b.
was ordered by the Court to conine himsel
tothe indictment Upon this interruption
the prisoner desisted from concluding BIZ
intended speech. The other Council for th
defence Mr. Breeding did not address til
jury. After the concluding argument b
the Solicitor, the case (at about o'cloc
T. NJ was submitted to the jury. At
quarter-past 8 o'clock the jury came in wit
verdict Of gail.g as charged in the indiel
ment. alabama journal.

The Railroad.

The iron is now laid and the road in work
ing order for the distance of twenty-five
miles, and we can say with certainty that
the cars will be running to Chronicle by the
1st of June at farthest. We must at all ha-
yards celebrate our next national anniversa-
ry there. Already considerable improve
ments in the way of building houses, open
ing gardens, &C., have been made on the line
between the city and the thirteen miles sta
ton, and at the sale of lots in Mauvila, soon
to take place, we may expect to witness a
good deal of competition among purchasers
In regard to future and more extensive
operations on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad,
we may state to the friends of the enterprise
that the directory is using every effort to
push the work forward with the utmost Wig
or. 1t will be seen by reference to an adj
vertisement in this paper that proposals are
invited for the graduation, masonry and
bridging of that part of the road between
Chronicle and Winchester, Mississippi, a
distance of forty-fve miles. Soon after,
eighty miles more, extending from the last
named point to the south line of Kempcr
county Mississippi, will be let out, and as
early as August next, one hundred miles ad-
ditional will be ready for contract. These
three portions, with the thirty three miles
now in manner finished, will make two
hundred and fifty-eight miles-all of which
can, and we doubt not will be completed
within two years from this date

HE TCu11.1-,-1a- fs14z4v n 1y4a.14 CO.,
for the repeal of the Flu
gitive Slave Bill meets with very little en-
enlargement IN the Senate of the L. States.
On the 29th ult. number of petitions were
presented by Mr.. Seward, of New York,
praying for repeal of the law Mr.. Nor.
ris, of New Hampshire, moved that they be
laid upon the table, without reference, and
the motion was carried-thirty- three to elev
ven.
The following is list of the Nays Davi,
and Sumner, of Massachusetts; Foot ant
Upham, of Vermont; Fish and Seward, o
New York; Chase and Wade, of Ohio; Ham
lin, of Maine Hale, of New Hampshire
and Dodge, of Wisconsin.
Mr. Seward offered a series of petitions
praying for the adoption of measures for th,
extinction of slavery in the States, and as
serted the duty of Congress to receive them
The reception was objected to, and the mo
ton to receive was laid on the table-thirty
six to six, carrying the petitions with them
The six nays were Dodge, Foot, Hale, Ham
lin, Seward, Sumnerand Wade.
Fish and Hamlin, who had voted agains
the fugitive slavelaw, voted for rejecting thi
petition, and Davis, Chase and Upham di
not vote at all-dodged the question.
The vote against agitating the fugitiv
slave law question is three to one, and tina
against permitting petition for abolition t
be even heard in the Senate was six t
one.-N. o. Picayune,

CONVICTION OF RUFUS GREENE.-We
stated yesterday that the jury in the case of
Rufus Greene, charged with forgery, had
brought in verdict of GUILTY. Yesterday
morning he was brought before the Court to
receive his sentence. On being asked by the
Court whether he had anything to say, the
prisoner rose and addressed the Court for
about half an hour in a speech that brought
tears from every eye in the court room. In
the course of his remarks, he stated that he
had ordered his counsel to make no further
resistance to the remaining indictments a.
gainst him, that he thus Withdrew all the
points he had nlade for his defence, and threw
himself upon the mercy aud indulgence Of
the Court. His remarks were peculiarly
chaste, beautiful and eloquent, and were de-
livered in tme Of deep melancholy which
touched the heart aud excited the sympa-
thies Of all present. His allusion to his
family-to bis wife aud childrell--and the
infamy aud disgrace to which they were
doomed, was delivered in tone aud Ian
guage full of lnournful eloquence-the elo-
quence of despair When tho prisoner had
concluded his remarks, Judge McKinstry,
deeply affected, proc, eded in most solemn
manner to address the prisoner. He alluded
e the high position he (the prisoner1 had
heretofore occupied, to his talents and inhu.
ence. He also referred to the peculiar init
macy which had existed for years between
him and the prisoner, and tlat never had h,
been called to perform duty 50 painful ii
that which now devolved npn him. Ate
