Scott as the Whig candidate for the Presidency, has been received with universal regret, by.his party of this State, and it is believed by many of the party that the nomination will be almost entirely disclaimed. We do not now believe it, though we have heretofore expressed the opinion that a ticket would not be nominated for him in this State, but the Whig party before nominating him Closing Scenes of the Convention . The Baltimore papers,' says' the Savannah News, contain full details of the closing scenes of the -late Whig Convention. The last day’s proceedings were rather rich and and will no doubt be. spread at large before the country by the political presses. Next to the ballotting, the most exciting incident of the day was an altercation between Mr* Renneau, of Georgia, and several other Southern delegates, on one side, and Mr- After a drought of three weeks, wo have had fine rains contin uing from Saturday last to yesterday, the showers fell lightly and from the indications of the clouds extended through the country.

Campbell vs The State.—From, Rich mond. • 1 While the amendments to the Consti tution of tbe Un,ited States are not immedi ately, and were not intended to be restric tive upon the Legislatures of the several States, yet they are the announcements of "great principles of Civil Liberty, which the Legislatures of the several States cannot in fringe. 2. The 5th Section of the amendments to the Constitution of the United States providing “that the accused shall be con- irontea with the witnesses against him,” is not infringed by the admission in evidence bf the dying declarations of the deceased in the. trial of a prisoner charged with the homicide. In order to make dying Declarations ■admissible in evidence, the deceased must not only be actually in extremis but, he must believe that he is dying. 4. When aprima facie case is made out, the evidence should be admitted, leaving to the Jury the adjudication of the question, whether or not, the declarations were made in immediate prospect of death. Where the evidence on that point is ■conflicting, the Court will not interfere with the verdict of the Jury, and grant a new trial. " *, John K. Jackson and A. H. H.

If by a marriage contract, property is vested in trustees, for the benefit of tbe husband and wife and the fruit of the marriage, and sub sequently an absolute divorce is granted to the husband, the wife may, after the divorce, by proper conveyance transfer all. her rights and interests under the marriage contract to her former husband; she being quoad hoc & feme sole and sui jurie. 2. The parties to a marriage contract, may by the consent of the Trustees, dispose of their qwn interests under the contract. They cannot defeat the interests of remain der men, not parties to the agreement. ^* A conveyance.by the former wife of all her right, title and interest, under the marriage contract, does not stop her from claiming the same property subsequently as the heir or distributee at law of her child, the fruit of the marriage, who took the prop erty in fee under the marriage contract.

A purchase by an ad ministrator-or other trus tee, at a sale of the trust property, is not per se void, but only voidable at the instance of parties in interest. 2. At a judicial sale of property of an in testate under execution, the administrator’s purchase of such property is also voidable for fraud or collusion between himself and plaintiff in execution. 3* An execution against the intestate of plamtiffia error is proceeding against his property. At the sale the plaintiff in error gives directions and imposes terms of sale; requires specie or specie - paying funds. The property is bid off for $5,500, the adminis trator himself bidding $5,000. The pur- chaser is unable to comply with the terms, but offers to do so within ten days and hy pothecate bank stock as security for his so , property is again put up and sold under a notice of the terms,given to the sheriff in plaintiff’s hand writing. Th e sec ond purchaser is unable to comply with these terms. It is again put up and the plaintiff in error, administrator, becomes the purchase!' for the plaintiff in; execution. The bill charges that the purchase was made ou the joint account' of the administrator and plaintiff in execution.

Masonic Celebration.—We had the pleasure of attending tbe celebration of St. John’s Day, on Thursday last at Dublin.— The Masonic Hall, which has been recently erected in that place r was Dedicated and an oration delivered by P.

After the ceremonies of the dav were over, the Fraternity were invited to partake of a fine dinner prepared by Capt. T. N, Guyton. Of this every participant gave undoubted evidence of appreciation; the ta hies were loaded with the best of the land and no one knows better than the Captain “how tc prepare the well spread table ” patch was as follows : To-morrow, it is believed, Kentucky, Col. oeaton Grantland, both Fillmore dele - Tennessee, Virginia, and one or two others The Whig Ballot.—The following is the last (53d) in the Whig National Conven tion, by which Scott was nominated : Scott, - - - - - - - i59 Fillmore, ------ 112 Webster, - ----- 21 appropriation, he betrays the source of U, disapprobation by remarking that “Cnii?- 8 hought’nt to ’ave a /appropriation » ° But. even fair-minded Englishmen fess that Mr. Collins is the greatest man ij, eon- his line now livin he been born in if ’ 1 nd , the 7 sa y that, had England, no “mateiral wonld * that country to be too honors too great, no titles * no If we reflect, for'anbito”, 01 '-'^ •*** lloiromAnfn • *i» 1 ’ achievements, we wiUh«e’ °° CollilVs conception of the high position terity will award him. 3 an approximate pos- England had been, for years, the acknow r of the seas.

It is hardly probable that the convention as such, will make a choice between theWo, as-both .parties have adopted the prerequi sites which the April convention demanded. The Athens J?a?m<?r says that the Union party ^having accomplished its purpose may now be considered as dissolved, and each member left free to vote for whom he choos es, and presumes that all will return to their old party predelections. The Savannah Republican says that fresh delegates must be appointed, unless the old delegates are authorized by their constitu ents to represent them again. Dangerous Bridge.-We referred, some time since, to the bad condition of the bridge which crosses the Railroad at the place known as the “Deep Cut,” with the hope that those who have the keeping up of the bridge in good repair, would give it some attention. We have learned frpm the In ferior Court that it is a work which the Rail road Company are under obligations to keep up, and that if something was not done in a-little while by the Company towards its repair, they would proceed to let it out at the expense of the Company. It has now been some time since they made some arrangements tending to that purpose, and yet nothing has been done, and the bridg. remains in the same precarious condition, whereby the lives and property of the peo ple who have to cross at that place, are greatly jeoparded. , If the Commissioners who have been appointed to examine and report the condition of the bridge, fail to do so, why not appointothers who will per form the duty, or if the Commissioners have reported, why has the Court delayed action m the premises ?

You remember, of course, the flying visit which Feargus O’Connor recently paid us. Since his return to England, that eccentric personage has acquired a good deal of no toriety in London, by his crazy proceedings at Westminister Hall. He went into the Court of Exchequer, and, waving and kiss ing his hand to the Lord Chancellor, he laughed uproariously, and insultingly gri maced at the barristers; until the "noise made by- the unfortunate man necessitated the suspension of the argument before the Court; but, the^presiding dignitary havino- sent a messenger for the police, Mr. O’Con 5 nor, fearing an imprisonment for contempt of that high Court, grinned and bowed and laughed and danced a hasty retreat from the euraced sanctum of the law.
