The action of the Baltimore Convention has asrain demonstrated that our opponents can no longer agree upon the nomination 01 any prominent man in their partv as a candidate for President, and that so long as a f >olish and anti-democratic two-thirds rule is adhered to, comparatively unknown men will be put up for that high office. For years Gen. Cass, Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Douglas, and other well-known names, have been designated by county meet ings and State conventions as fit nominees, and of course their claims and abilities amply canvassed, but, it appears, without avail. Cass and Buchanan, in the hands of discrest friends, might have easily compromised their difficulties and settled upon one or the other as the nominee, but there must have been such a mutual feeling of hatred, envy, or jealousy, that, as the ballots clearly show, evinced a determination on both sid -s that both should be consigned to their political graves at one funeral —for, us far as we can see into the future in political mutters, we think neither of them will hereafter b -brought up as cundhKitcs for the object of their ambi tion. Mad the friends of Gen. Cass not been hoodwinked at the Reading Convention by suffering a majority of Buchananites u, be sent there as " Bigler delegates." we have little doubt the succeeding State Convention would have shown a majority of bauds ayiinst Buchanan; and had such been the case. Mr. Cass would have had a clear majority of tin- Baltimore Convention, and doubtless become its nominee. As it is. the friends of that gentleman must " grin and bear it."'

It was resolved to hold the next National Contention in Cincinnati.

Of the nominee, the Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch furnishes the following biographical notice; " The details of his life are very meagre, and, however estimable he may be in private life, and however stern and uncompromising he may be as a politician, there are no salient points in his biography which admiration may seize upon and exalt. General 1 ranklin Pierce, comes of a good stock ; his father was the late Benjamin Pierce, once Governor of New-Hampshire. Franklin was born at Hillsborough. New- Hampshire, about the year 1805, and is con sequently but forty-seven years of age. lie graduated at Dartmouth College, where he was considered a ripe scholar. He studied law. and at an early age was at the head of the profession in his native State. He rep resented Hillsborough, in the Legislature of New-Hampshire, and was speaker at the age ol twenty-five. At twenty-eight years he was elected to Congress, and at thirty was chosen L iiitod .States Senator, lie resigned his seat in the Senate t.i pursue his profes sion. During the -Mexican war. President Polk, tendered hint a General s commission, which he accepted. In the month of July, 1847. Geu. Pierce arri\c.| at Vera Cruz. The American Armv was then tit J'uebla. It was determined that Gen. Pierce should take command c.f some of the new regiments which had lately arrived from the I lilted States. Col. Mcintosh had marched some time before, and being beset by a strong force ol guerrilla-. Den. Cadwalader, with about six hundred men, set out from \ era Cruz, and formed a junction with Mc intosh, and fought the way through to Den. Scott - forces. Gen. Pillow st t out from Vera Cruz a few days alter tbis. with one-tie usand men. and on the l'.hh of .July, deli. Pierce took up the line of march with nearly three thousand men. lie met with hut little opposition in his way. At Plan del Ilio, lie found the bridge broken down, and cut a road for tie troops. whereby they forded the stream. He joined Geo. Scott in safety, and with the rein forcements thus brought, the (ieneral-in-<'hief determined to ino\e upon the eitv of Mexico. On the first day at Contreras. the horse upon which (ieneral Pierce was mounted stumbled and fell among the rocks, throwing the t i 'neral among them, and injuring him -'\ wely. His brigade was then taken charge of by Col. !i •ansom. Tlie brigade of 'ieneral Pierc seized tin; ranelio of Padienui, and were in good position for the next day's work. I poii the following morning, while the act ions yt t'hurulmscn, Antonio and 'fete du Pout .fore in Juli contest, Shields and Pierce's brigades were subjected in the field, to a murderous tire from seven-thousand .Mexican troops, under the command of Santa Anna. h*en. Pierce was unable to he present, and th" two brigades were commanded by (ien. Shields. •i>y finally put the troops en gaged against theiu to flight, making the filth American victory achieved upon that glorious day. In the subsequent operations at Moliim del Key. and the Garita de Helen, the brigade of General Pierce took no active parr, except to cover the American forces which withdrew from Molino del llev, after that hard contested and fruitless victory.— Shortly after this he resigued his eoinmisson as lirigadier General, and returned home. The whigs, we believe, are pretty well satis fi' d, and though the locofoeo.s affect to he so. we ar; sure a dilfereiit state of things would have existed had Cass or some other leader received the nomination. 'I he democratic papers of this State, as vvii as others, a few weeks ago made a con siderable hubbub about their candidates hav ing come op to the mark in answering a let. ter from a certain Captain Scott, of Virginia, respecting the compromise measures, but strange to -ay, th" nominee of tli" conven tion is one of two persons who declined or neglected to answer lhe queries propounded ! On this subject the ai'w York Express rc n.arks: 1 here are some well-grounded suspicions abroad that this nomination, so uulookc l for, was lie- result of a previous well understood . but secret arrangement. To conciliate the ! free Soilers. it was agreed to sacrifice evert candidate who had written a letter to Robert N-ott, and take up some new man, who, though as much in favor of the Cumprouit-e Itilis. and as resolutely hostile to Abolitionism in every form, at either ('a-s, Huchamiu. or ibckinson, yet not so publielv cominittcd b> tie- faith, tli" Soili-m saw before it went into th Convention, that it would have to take a Cotnpr.'iuis - man. anvhovv. but thev Stipulated, and the other parti" doubt!"

Not even a groan came from their bosoms when 1 tan tout was thrust out ; not a murmur was heard when the Fugitive Slave Law plank was brought forward.

'ted to have it known, in its own words, that " such a nomination will evoke unanimity and enthusiasm throughout the j country; and. if the subsequent proceeding! tihull to• of a character in unison, we predict 1 the most auspicious results for the party and the permanent interests of the Republic." It is a circumstance, too, strengthening these suspicions, thai this - une Albany Atlas is the f first J icmocratie journal that has yet reached our office which has placed ;it the head of its editorial column, in large letters, "for Presi dent, Frankiin Pierce, of New ilanijishire." The Eveniug Post, we presume, w ill do the same to-day, while the lesser lights of the sane- color, anon, will follow the example. When the secret history of the Baltimore Convention comes to be written, Cass, Kucha- j nan A Co., we think, will readily realize the i exquisite sincerity of "friends" who had mu tually agiecd tu fret them a little by paying them the hollow compliment of useless bal lots before bringing them to the block. Decisions of the Supreme Court. We copy the following abstract of decisions by the Supreme Court from the last ilarris burg Telegraph; P/allips vs. Leuistoicn Bank, Mifflin. — Lewis J.—A certified copy of the assignment of a mortgage is evidence. 2. The assignment of the mortgage is an as signment not only of the claim against the mortgagor, but of all the securities which the assignor may hold against him or other par ties for the same debt. 3. After notice to the debtor that his credit or had assigned the debt to a third person to secure the latter for acceptance made for the creditor, the proceeds of which had been re ceived by the creditor, and after notice of the insolvency of the assignor, the debtor cannot purchase for- a trifling consideration, de.spa rafce claims against the insolvent debtor for the purpose of tendering them in payment of" the debt in the hands of the innocent assig 4. The At of March, 1842, provides that v. hen a bank makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, " the assignees shall receive.in paym nt of debts due to the bunk its own it Gits and obligations.. IB the letter and spirit of the statue, the mites of au insolvent bank purchased after notice of a general assignment for the benefit of credit ors, can be tendered only in payment of debts due to the bank at the lime of assign ment, to such as passed to the trustees, and not to such debts as were transferred before tne assignment made in good faith and for a valuable consideration. The purchase of de preciated notes after knowledge of such an assignment i- an act of bad faith injurious to the rights ol others, and it i- immaterial in what manner the knowledge of the transfer was acquired, so that it existed at the time of the purchase. ■>. It is not nece—arv that notice slmuld oe given by the party claiming the transfer ; nor * - it requisite that the notice be in wilting. Affirmed. fN. B. lii this ea-c Gibson J. dissented.! th'd rs. Mitchell. —Lewis J.—This ca.-e. follows the principle of the last. " The notice of a-signim/iit t. Burrows was given on the Dull December, 1847, and the tender, in depreciated notes of the Lewi-town Bank, was made two days afterwards. This was too 1 tie. If the notes bad been received by the defendant below in the usual course of bu-ines> before notice of the assignment, a different question might arise. But the bur den ot proof is on the party making the ten der. He must establish facts necessary to make it effectual. There is no presumption of law arising from the tender, that he had them in his possession at an earlier period than the day on which he offered them in payment of the plaintiffs demand. J here was no other note in possession of the Bank of which Thomas Reed was the maker. The notice in designating him as maker, and in stating accurately the date, tiie amount and the time of payment, could therefore apply to no other than the note in controversy, and was sufficient. Ihe misdescription in the assignment is not material, inasmuch as the special verdict finds the fact .that the note was transferred to Burrow- before the tender, and it is not found that the a-signor make.- anv objection upon that ground, or .- t. up any claim to the note. ' Affirmed. B.& T. 11"',j rs. Mitchell. — Lewis .J.—The point in this case ruled the two above cases. Affirmed. Derision relative to Fences. The Lancaster Whig has a report of a fence ease, which was taken t<a the Supreme Court on a writ of error. The following decision was given, and as many similar eases no doubt exist, it may be of interest to our read ers; \Y lien any two persons shall improve land- adjae nt to each other, or rather wlicu any person shall inclose any land adjoining to another s land already fenced in, so that any part of the first person's fence becomes the partition fence lutw • u them," are the two eases provided lbr in the acts of Assem bly of the 11th March, 18-12, for regulating and maintaining line f nees— Dttulap, do 4. 'ln either of these eases, the expense of the par tition fence, is to be equally borne and main tained bv I• >t!i parties. But if on * of the adjacent improvers aban don the division line and sets his fence in upon hi* own land ami throw* out. a hum to th<* public us'-, which 1M- lias a perfect right t< do (*..(■ Painter vs. It- -. -J Barr, 12b, and Pysart Leeds i! Barr. INS.) they no longer impr >v • adjacent lands, and are not within tie- statutory l-m-dy. Such is this case. •John Kuhrnr having he, the use of a lane long • ujoyed between him and Christian Rohror. hy Christian's moving his fence over and appropriating the lane to himself, re moved back upon his own land far enough to furiu. 'i an ile-r lane, and there built his fence. The lan • thus produced is open to the public. It is open at both ends; and the proof i . that Christian's cattle use it. It amounts to a dedication of it to public use. It is no longer improved land within tire meaning of the act of Assembly. Yet Chris tian claims that -b hn should defray half the expense of building the former on his (Chris tian's) side of the lane. A - well might-John ill -Ist that Christian should maintain half of hi. leave. This would bring them back to the true ground—that each must maintain ids own fence along the lane without calling on the other for help. The fence viewers had no jurisdiction ol the ease, and the judgment of the Court below, founded on their award, is reversed. WOMAN'S HHSITS.—A AY omen's Rights Con vention lately assembled at West Chester, and was pi-rman -luiy organized by appointing Mary Ann Johnston, of Philadelphia, Presi dent. Resolutions were passed declaring that women are entitled, by natural rights, to equal participation with men in the pu l.t cat institutions if the country; that the true interests of society demand that woman should be represented in the Government, and that woman's true sphere is that which her nature and capability will enable her to lid, and not that appointed l>y man, and bounded by his ideas of propriety. Mrs. Dr. Harriet Hunt read a letter from Dr. Eliza beth 81.-ickweH, of New York. She addres sed the omentum in a forcible manner upon the m e. ssity of medical education for females of the day, and another batch of resolutions wore adopted to sustain this position.—A W oiuau s Rights Convention was also held, a day or two ago at Massillou, Ohio, which was largely attended, many of the ladies present being in the Bloomer costume.
