WEALTH OF GEN. CAss.--Ahout thirty
wears ago, Gen. Cass owned a farm IN
what is now the heart Of Detroit, and, by
simply "hclding OF" he has become the
possessor of fortune estimated at S.
100000.
Exactly so. Gen Cass " has held on, -"
until he is near about 20 wears old, and
according to ordinary calculations, il he
chooses to avail himself of his wealth
from this time forward, may enjoy it some
five or ten years yet. In the mean time
while he has, been holding on" thou
sands have been toiling and starving. and
suffering to procure the scantiest kind of
home, which he has contributed to with
hold from them. We wish some acute
calculator who takes into account not
only the present, but the future life, would
figure out as near as possible what Gen.
Cass has really made by holding on"
Our own opinion is that on the other side
Of Styx. he will ind himself almost if not

The Wisconsin, Patriot is sorry.
it is, because of the proposed Convention
at Madison, on the 18th Of July. 1t
thinks the tendency OF such things is to
keep up eXcitements, to still further ir-
ritate our Southern brethren, AMI above
all, to create sectional antagonisms and
parties, which are especially to be dep
recated. The Christian Charity. and for
bcarance of the Patriot in these turbu-
lent times, is worthy Of praise and admi-
ration. No NONRESIDENT ever turned
the unsmote cheek with more humility
than the Patriot seems willing to. The
So,'th is boring red hot iron into the
vtaIs o. the North, and the North must
not even groan, lest peradyenture the
sensitive am tender nerves ofthose wiel-
ding the iron sirould be unduly excited /;
and whilst the Soutl. is banded almost to
a man to overthrow the institutions OF
the country. the North must be exceed
ingly careful not to concentrate It's encr-
gies to preserve them, lest it should i2ok
like sectionahsm From all such Patriots,

the prisoners were sentenced last year to 1876 years
mprlsonment--and seven of the prisoners for life
These prosecutions cost the State $t4,909,83. The
number of acquittals for crime was SO; the nolle
prosequis liz; of the former were three cases of
Indictments for murder in the first degree.
The convictions for misdemeanors, by which wo
mean petit larceny, assaults &C., were 1913; ac-
quttals and nolles 655. There are some 100 in.
dctments for crimes and msdemeanors now mend.
ing among them five cases for murder in the first
degree, not including one or two cases now in
error, or determined since Mr. Pugh's report was
made out.
This report differs very little from that Of the
year 1852, when the prisoners in all were sentonc
cd to 229 years and six imprisoned for life and
three capital convictions.
