Izccclbco National Convention* The action of the Baltimore Convention hag a<rain demonstrated that our opponents can no longer agree upon the nomination of any prominent man in their party as a candidate j for President, and that so long as a foolish and anti-democratic two-thirds rule is adhered to, j comparatively unknown men will be put up for ■ that high office. For years (den. 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 discreet friends, might have easily compromised tlieir difficulties and settled upon one or the other as the nominee, but there must have been such a mutual feeling of hatred, envv, or jealousy, that, as the ballots clearly show, evinced a determination on both sides that both should be consigned to their political graves at one funeral —for, us far as wo can see into the future in political matters, we think neither of them will hereafter be brought up as candidates for the object of their ambi tion. Had the friends of Gen. Cass not been hoodwinked at the Reading Convention by suffering a majority of iiuehanauites to be sent there as " Bigler delegates," we have little doubt the succeeding State Convention would have shown a majority of hands at/niust Buchanan; and had such been the ease, Mr. Cass would have had a clear majority of the Baltimore Convention, and doubtless become its nominee. As it is, the friends of that gentleman must " grin and bear it." The subjoined table exhibits a recapitula tion of the 49 balloting*, which were had du ring the sessions of the Convention. It will be observed that Gen. Pierce did not receive a single vote until the doth ballot : RECAPITULATION* <>F BALLOTINGS. 1 116j 931 201 27! 21 81 131 ~l j <M 2j 118; 95, 23 27 1 6 Id 1 nil 3, 110 94 21 20 1 7j I*s! 0 00 4 ] 15! 80 31 2f> 1 7. 13! j 00 5 114 881 34 20, 1 8 ld| 1; 00 0 114 88, 34 20; 1 8j 13| ] 00 7 113 88! 31 20' 1 0 Id!

This will be seen by the following extra.-t from tie proceedings of the convention on the 4'Jth ballot : When North Carolina was called, the chair man ot her delegation changed lew vote from Ma rev to Pierce : this movement was follow ed by Georgia and Missi- ij.j.i, and it be came manifest that the delegate- were wil ling to compromise their difficulties and set tle on Gen. Pierce. The New York delega tion at this point asked leave to change their vote, and record it for Gen. Pierce. The delegation afterwards retired for consultation and on returning to the hall, through Mr. Seymour and Mr. Dickinson, the chairman of the two sections of the delegation, con firmed the change and cast the t!iirtv-li\•• votes of the State for Pi wee. This announcement gave intensity to the excitement, end tlie whole Convention pre sented a scene of extraordinary commotion. Pennsylvania retired to c< n-uit and on r<- turning lier delegation ca-t their twenty-seven votes tor Pierce. This left but three votes wanting to complete a two-third tote foi Pierce, which was accomplished hv I Delaware changing her vote from ('a<s to Pierce. The other States were then called on, those which had already voted changing their vote and giving it to Pierce, and those which had not, been previously called following the gen era! lead in the casting of their \<,i>- s .

The | the nominations were both unanimously cuu ; curie,i in. It was resolved to hold the mxt : ISatioua! Convention in Cincinnati. Th" committee on a " Platform" for the party re ported a series of resolutions, and after some ; unimportant business, the convention ad- j journed. 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 lie may be as a politician, there are no salient points iu his biography which admiration may seize upon ami 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 ISOo, and is con sequently but forty-seven years of age. He graduated ut Dartmouth College, where he was considered a ripe scholar, lie studied law, and at an early age was at the head of the profession m his native State. He rep resented Hillsborough, in the Legislature of New-Hampshire, and was speaker at the age of twenty-five. At twenty-eight years he was elected to Congress, and at thirty was chosen United States Senator. He resigned his seat in the Senate to pursue his profes sion. During the Mexican war. President Polk, tendered him a General's commission, which ho accepted. In the month of Julv, 1847, Gen. Pierce arrived at \ era Cruz. The American Army was then at Puebla. It was determined that Gen. Pierce should take command of some of the new regiments which had lately arrived from the I nited States. Col. Mcintosh lead marched some lime before, and being beset by ! a strong force of guerrillas, Gen. Cadwalader, with about six hundred men, set out from \ era Cruz, and formed a junction with Mc intosh, and fought tin* wav through to Gun. Scott s forces. Gen. i'ilinw set out fi'uiii Vera Cm/, a few (lavs alter this, with niie-tln usand men, and <>n tin- f'.ith of July, Gen.

At Plan del ilio, he found the bridge broken down, and cut a road for the troops, whereby they forded the stream, lie joined lieu. Scott in safety, and with the rein forcements thus brought, the General-in-Chief determined to move upon the city of Mexico. On the first day at Contreras, the horse upon which (ieneral Pierce was mounted stumbled and fell aiming the rocks, throwing the General among them, and injuring him severely. His brigade was then taken charge of by Col. Hansom. The brigade of (ieneral Pierce seized the rancho of Padierna. and were in good position for the next day's work. Upon the following morning, while the act ions at (.'hurubusco, Antonio and Tete du Pont were in full contest, Shields and Pierce's brigades were subjected in the Hold, to a murderous lire from seven-thousand .Mexican troops, under the command of Santa Anna, (fen. Pierce was unable to be present, and the two brigades were commanded by (Jen. Shields. 'l'hcy finally put the troops en gaged against theiu to llight. making the iiitii American victory achieved upon that glorious day. In the subsequent operations at Molino del Key. and the (Jarita de Melon, the brigade of General Pierce took no active part, except to cover the American forces which withdrew from Molino del Key. after that hard contested and fruitless victory.— Shortly after this lie iv.-dgned his conmiissoii as Brigadier General, and returned home. The whig-, we believe, are pretty well satis ti' d, and though the locofocos affect to be so. vw u.i'l- .sure a dilfereiit state of tilings would have existed had Pass or some other leader receive.! the nomination. The democratic papers of this State, as well as others, a few weeks ago made a con siderable hubbub about their candidates hav ing come rip to the mark in answering a let. tor from a certain Captain Scott, of \ irginia, respecting the comprviini.se measures, but strange to say, the nominee of the conven tion is one of two persons who declined or neglected, to answer the queries propounded 1 On this subject the .New York Fx press re marks : There are some well-grounded suspicions abroad that this nomination, so unlooked lor, was the result of a previous well understood but secret arrangement. To conciliate the Tree .Soilei's ii was agreed to sacrifice even candidate who had written a letter to Robert Scott, and take up some new man, who. though as much in favor of the (' mtprouii-o Bills, and as resolute!v hostile to Abolitionism in every form, a; either Car s, Buchanan. or Dickinson, yet not so publicly committed to the faith. Tree Seilism saw before it went into th Convention, that it would have to take a Compromise man, anvhow, hut they stipulated, aid the other parties doubtless :.gt' "d to make the dose as palatable us pe sible The platfonn, it is true, is clear and unequivocal, so lar as the slavery is-ties—the 1 ugitive Slave Law, etc., are concerned, and nobody doubts in the least that General I'ierce is to be placed upon that platform, and to stand or fall upon it, in November next: but then to have it said, "we have • lain Cass again, as we slew him befi re ; nay in.ere, we lime immolated every one of your Coiupiomiso in n who figured in the Robert Scott correspondence," i something the Free Soi lor- thought was worthy of struggling for, and, o thinking, the boon wa> insisted upon, and it was given tic an. On 110 other hypoth esis can we account ldr the significant silence of such of the Free Soiiers as found their way into the Convention. Xot even a groan caun from their bosoms when liantoui was thrust out ; not a murmur was heard when the Fugitive Slave Law plank was brought forward. On no other ground can we account for the calm complacency* with which the levelling Post !.■ re looked upon the exclusion of lh* Massiwhesi tts Free Sudor ; and on no other supposition can we reconcile the extra ordinary haste ti.-c leading Democratic Aboli tiou jou-iiul in this Mate —" The Albany At las- -mauifc. 'ted to have it known, in its own words, that "such a nomination will evoke unanimity ;md enthusiasm throughout the n untry; mid. if the subsequent proceeding chilli In- of a character in unison, we predict the most auspicious results for the party and the permanent interests of the Republic." It is a circumstance, too, strengthening these suspicions, that this same Albany Atlas is the first Democratic journal that has vt reached our office which has placed at the head of its editorial column, in large letters, "for Presi dent, Franklin Pierce, of New Hampshire." The Kveiling Post, we presume, will do the same to-day, while the lessor lights of the same color, anon, will follow the example. VV lien the secret history of the Baltimore t ..mention comes to be written, Pass, Bucha nan ic Co., we think, will readily realize the exquisite sincerity of " friends" who had mu tually agreed to fret them a little bv 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 : Phillips vs. Lewistown 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. o. 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 tire creditor, and after notice of the insolvency of the assignor, the debtor caimot purchase for- a trifling consideration, despa rate claims against the insolvent debtor for the purpose of tendering them in payment of the debt in the hands of the innocent assig nees. 4. The Act of March, 1842, provides that when a bank makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, " the assignees shall receive .in payment of debts due to the bank its own notes and obligations ßy the letter and spirit of tin* statue, tin* notes of an insolvent bank purchased after notice of a general assignment for the benefit of credit ors, can be tendered only iu 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 the assignment made in good faith and for a valuable consideration. The purchase of de preciated notes after knowledge of such an assignment is an act of bad faith injurious to the rights of others, and it is immaterial in what manner the knowledge of the transfer was acquired, so that it existed at the time of the purchase. •'. It is not necessary that notice sliould he given by the party claiming the transfer ; nor is it requisite that the notice be in writing. Affirmed. [X. !. In this ease (iibson J. dissented. 1 Reed r.s. Mitchell.—Levna J. -This case : follows the principle of the last. " The notice of assignment to Burrows was given i oil the 10th December, ]S47, and the tender, in depreciated notes of the Lewi<town Bank, was made two days afterwards. 'J'his was too late. If the notes had been received by the defendant below iu the usual course of i business before notice of the assignment, a j different question might arise. But the bur- j den of proof is on the party making the ten- j del'. lie must establish facts necessary to j make it effectual. There is no presumption j of law arising from the tender, that lie had j them in his possession at an earlier period than the day oil which lie offered them in , payment of the plaintiff's demand. There was no other note in possession of tin l Bank of which Thomas Jieed was the maker. The notice in designating him as maker, and in stating accurately the date, the amount and the time of payment, could therefore apply to no other than the note in j controversy, and was sufficient. The misdescription in the assignment is not material, inasmuch as the special verdict finds the fact .that the note was transferred to Burrows before the tender, and it i- not found that the assignor makes anv objection upon that ground, or sets up any claim to the note. Affirmed. i It. <r T. lifJ vs. Mitchell. — Lewis J.—-The point iu this case ruled the two above cases. Affirmed. Decision relative to Fences. The Lancaster Whig has a report of a fence case, which was taken b the Supreme Court on a writ of error. The following decision was given, and as many similar cases no doubt exist, it may be of interest to our read ers: " W hen any two persons shall improve lands Hdjae-'iit to cadi other, or rather when 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 b.'tw en tliein," are the two cases provided lor in the acts of Assem bly of the lltli March, 1842. for regulating and maintaining line faces— Duuhiji, '.154. In either of thes ■ cases, the expense of the par tition fence, is to be equally borne and main tained by both parties. But if on- of tic adjacent improvers aban don the division line and sets his fence in upon his own land and throws out a lane to the public use, which he has a perfect right to do (see Painter vs. Reese. 2 Barr, 120, and Dvs.m vs. Leeds. 2 Barr, 4SS.) they no longer improve adjacent lands, and are not within the statutory remedy. Such is this case. John Kohrer having lost the use of a lane long enjoyed between him and Christian Kohrer, by Christian's moving his fence over and appropriating the lane to himself, re moved hack upon his own land far enough to I'urni h an .her lane, and there built his fence. The lan • thus produced is open to the public. It i 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 the meaning of the act of Assembly. Yet Chris tian claims that John should defray half the expense of building the former on his (Chris tian's) side of the lane. As well might John insist that Christian .should maintain half of hi feme. This would bring them back to the true ground—that each imet maintain iiis own fence along the lane without calling on the other for help. The fence viewers had no jurisdiction of the case, and the judgment of the Court below, founded on their award, i- reversed. \\ itMAv's —A Women's ltiglitsCon vention latcl v assembled at West Chester, and was permanently organized by appointing I alary Ann -Johnston, of Philadelphia, Presi ; dent. Resolutions were passed declaring | that women are entitled, by natural rights, i to equal participation with men in the po -1 -1• Ciil institutions i f 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 : till, and not that appointed by man, and t bounded by his ideas of propriety.
