Presidential speoulations.

Horace Greeley, writing from Washington, in.
dulges the following speeulations upon the com
ing Presidential canvass. and the candidates of
the different parties:
We hear good deal from New York Of George
Law rs a candidate for the Know Nothing nom
nation; but if he have friends here they are very
still ones. Mr.. Fillmore would seem to be the
favorite. though Messrs. Clayton. Crittenden,
Bolts, VIM r. Smith and l.. d. Campbell have
been suggested. But Mr.. Campbell is a Free
Soler and so stands no shadow of chance. No
man has look for the National American nom
ination who is not docile to all the txactions of
Slavery.
As to tie Democratic National Convention
at Cincinnati in May, it Is plain that Gen. Pierce
is rs yet the leading candidate for its Presden
tial nomination. Throwing New York out Of
the account think he has up TO this time as
MANY Delegates elected as all his rivnl-. He is
likely 10 have a decided ma oriiy of delegates
from tho Slave States, though Tennessee IL re-
ported against him; and, the Soft. Shell Dele
CATION from our State will doubtless agree to go
for him or for nybody else who can secure their
admission in preference to the llards, think
arrangement can be made by which they shall
be admitted and he nominated. Still the chances
all run against an incumbent, and especially
of whom the country is weary. aud ! shall be-
lieve in his denomination when reliably assured
that it has been Effected Should the hard Del
egation from our Stnte be admitted Gen. Perce's
prospects would be suddenly and deeply obscur-
ed, as New York's thity five votes would then
count against him and for Dickinson, while Penn.
sylvania goes solid for Buchanan. and Ohio is
scattered, bat snid to be principally for Douglas.
suspect Mr.. Pierce's denomination hinges
tho contested claims to represent New York.
As to Re
Il, lat. 1 Inn, I'll a.
Cows. Chase and Seward. Mr.. Banks and Col
Fremont suggested in this connection, bat none
of them in such manner rs To Indicate partisan
ship or personal devotion. Not until after the
debates on Kansas which are soon to convulse
both houses. shall be rendy even to guess
who ought to be supported for President next

Tnn MISSOURI RAILROAD Supreme Court
of Missouri has decided that the railroad law en-
acted by the Legislature of that State, over the

II will be recollected that the passage of the bill

in st. Louis. The Governor, however, upon the
ground of some informality under which the bill
was passed in the face of the veto, refused to ex
ecute the law, but agreed to submit the cues.

gainst the mode of passing the law by the Gen
eral Assembly are untenabe; and that the con.
stitu,ion and law preclude an inquiry as to tbe
