Several Southern Members, who had been
voting for Fuller, threw off on Zollicoffer and
Others; so that Mr.. Fuller's vote was likely
to be a small one. Before the roll, amid con-
tinual interruptions, some of them quite
protracted, had been called through, Mr.
Fuller rose again and said that: Were a bill
introduced here to restore the Missouri Restriction
OIL Syauay, he should cote against it! Hereup-
on several Southern fire-eaters rose and
changed their votes to Fuller; but the North
ern votes which had fallen away from him,
he did not of course regain. Harrison and
Moore Of Ohio, Dunn and Scott of Indiana,
scattered; so did Edie of Pennsylvania, while
Haven, Bayard Clark, Volk, and Whitney of
our State stuck to Fuller--so that there was
no choice. Banks l06, with Mr.. H. Ben

proposition with which Mr.. Whitney closed
his harangue. Promising that it was exceed

that he hada scheme to propose which would
secure such organization forthwith. 1t was

SUMMARY OF NEWS.
(FrOm the Nep York Herald. J

From Nicaragua the news is very
important. AT the election on
the Gath ult. Gen Walker was chosen
PRESIDENT OF the republic, oyer his
competitors, Rivas and Salazar. Ri
yes and his Minister of War Jerez, pro-
badly anticipating the result of the
popular vote, left town on the 18th,
and shortly afterwards raised the stand
ard of revolution at Chinendago. AT
the head of a small force of natives,
Rivas proceeded to Leon, and ordered
the Americans to evacuate the city,
The order was obeyed, and Rivas took
possession, with one hundred and TWEEN
ty men. Most of the members of the
former cabinet adhered to Walker, who
had proclaimed the Rivas party trail
tors.
In Oregon Indian hostilities contin-
ued. Gen. Smiths command had a
battle with the savages near Meadows.
The loss of the whites was five killed
and twenty-five wounded. The Indian
loss was considerable. Col. Wright
anu one OF his commands had been kill
led by the Yakima Indians.
We have important news from Vera
Cruz. The dates are to the 9Th inst.
The Spanish feet had departed, but
no mention is made Of the situation of
the difficulty between Spain and Mex
leo. The new liberal constitution.
and the government decree with refer
enco to the property of the church,
were generally acceptable to the peoplc.
Comonfort had decided to sell all the
lands belonging to the church and other
religious corporations. There was
some trouble among the Northern de-
partments.
Galveston dates to the 10th inst.
have been received. The Rio Grande
had overaowed its banks, the rise of
water being greater than had been
know for many years.

We have now only four months to
work until the great question shall be
decided whether Americans must rule

1t is only for the American party
to determine, and the work will be ac-
complished. But every man must dc
his duty and his whole duty.
Keep your council fires burning
Assemble in your strength at your
weekly meetings. Bring out your
speakers: and let the shout of anti
cipated triumph carry alarm and con-
sternation into the ranks of your oppo-
nents. They are already greatly dis
heartened and alarmed. The lawabid-
ing, peace loving and conservative
throughout the country are railing a.
round our nominees.
The name of Willard Fillmore is a
tower of strength, land he who received
his political education from the lips of
Andrew Jackson will not detYact there
from.
With such standard bearers we must
triumph, and when the government of
of our common country shall be placed
in their hands, we shall have peace at
home and abroad, and secure the pro-
found respect of tho world.
We would not deceive you, nor en-
courage false hopes, but if the signs OF

WING CONVENTION.

A conventions of old line Wings will
assemble in Richmond on the 10Th inst,
which from present indications, will be
O very able and spirited affair. A
great number of delegates have been
appointed by the various counties in
the State, and we doubt not, great
part of them will be in attendance, at
Richmond.
That this Convention will declare in
favor of the American nominees, we
have no more doubt, than we have
that it will meet. The soft-soaping
the Wings of Virginia have received
of late, from those whose trade it has
ever been, till within few months past
to abuse and villify them, cannot Sc
duce Wings such as those in this State,
from their propriety. Such lathering
may catch a few of the soft-headed,
who are bent on Office, but will have
but little affect upon the honest think
ing masses. Let the Wings of Virgin
ia meet and resolve as they can but re-
solve, and the victory over Democracy
is won, even here in Virginia.
