the driver and guard Of the northern mail stage,
who charged him with an attempt to rob the
same. The accusers testified that within a
short distance of Peekskill they observed the
prisoner about hundred yards ahead of the
stage, and on approaching nearer they saw him
jump over fence, evidently to avoid notice
This of course excited their suspicion. and they
kept an eye to the mail which was deposited In
the boot behind. In the course of short time
the guard discovered the rat nibbling at the bait,
and desiring the driver not to stop the speed OF
the horses, he quietly let himself down, and run
ming behind the stage. found the prisoner active
y employed loosing the straps which contine
the mail bags. He was instantly arrested, plac-
ed in the carriage, and conveyed to town free OF
expense. Having nothing to offer in extenua-
ton of his offence, Mr.. Henry Preston was
committed to Bridewell.-N y Courier.

WEBSTER AND HARRISON.

! The nomination of Daniel Webster, the
sterling patriot and eminent statesman, for
! President and Gen. VIM. II. Harrison, the
gallant and veteran commander Of the north
western army, whose abilities have also been
so highly signalzed in various high and re-
sponsble civil employments. would doubtless
prove acceptable to the great majority of the
Wing and Antimasonic parties of the Union,
and would probably prove successful IN the
event of the South's forming ticket Of their
own, unconnected with the Baltimore nomi-
nation, Of which there is strong probability.
Judge White will probably be supported by
all the Southern States. Webster and Har-
rson would then receive n large portion of
the Eastern, Middle, and Western States
+ the South would support their own nomna-
ton, and Van Buren, and Johnson would be
left in the back ground. The Antimasonic
and Whig parties Of Pennsylvania, if we
may Judge from the symptoms among the pa
pers of the former, would cheerfully unite on
the Webster and Harrison nomination, and
the success of such ticket would prove hon
orable to the country.
For where is the man Of higher virtues,-
greater patriotism,or more shining talents thar
Daniel Webster. AS a statesman he Is the
pride and glory Of his country; as public
speaker, unrvalled in overwhelming argu
ment; as lawyer of spotless reputation and o
the very highest forensic abilities; in short
he is one of the brightest stars in the Amer
lean armament.
II Gen. Harrison, tried soldier and patriot
commands in an eminent degree the afiec
tions of the west, has not been sufficient,
4 rewarded for his mcrtorious services, an,
even his fame has bcon sought to be eclipse,
and tarnished by prniscs and honors confer
red on a subordinate officer. We have m
doubt that such a nomination would receiv
the appreciation of the PEOPLE Miner

Disgracetm riot and oufrage-On Sunday
morning last, one of the most infamous and
unprovoked cases Of riot and outrage that
ever came to our knowledge, was perpetrated
in Ann street. From all that we have been
able to learn, it was one of those ebulition
ofgratuitous ferocity and cruelty so character
istic Of the conduct of the lower Irish, both in
their own, and other countries. The circum-
stances of the case are as follows: An Irish
man, in a state of intoxication, and bleeding
at the head, it is supposed from fail, was
met in Ann street by little boy, who COM
passonat;ng his situation, offered to lead him
home, and for this purpose took him by the
hand. They had not proceeded far, however,
before the brute turned suddenly round upon
his little companion, gave him several kicks,
and told him to be off. Atsight ofthis, some
other bows who were in the street raised a
hurrah after the Irishman. In moment, sew
en- other Irishmcn issued from boarding
house in the vicinity, and commenced an in
discriminate attack, with bludgeons and
stones, upon all within their reach. They
cleared a space of about 200 yards, within
which was an aged man ian American) ofthe
name of Peterson, who had come out of the
house to see what was the matter, and being
for escape. The moment he was perceived,
one of the Irishmen rushed towards him and
ielled him to the ground with a club thicker
than mans wrist, and about feet long.
Another then beat him about the head with u
shorter club and the rest assisted in the work
with paving stones-one Of which was pro-
duccd in Court, and could not have weighed
less than nine or ten pounds. Mr.. Peterson
is an inotfensivc, respectable, and as we have
before said, an aged man, by trade rggcr.
He now lies at the point of death. AS soon
as possible, the officers proceeded to the
scene Of action, but by the time they got
there the parties had disappeared. After
some search, however, in the house out of
which they came, two of them were discover
ed and taken, the one from behind the Chin
ney at the top of the house, and the other in
the back yard Their names are John Mitch
ell and Richard Cummings. They were or
dcred to find bail-Mitchell in the amount of
$500, and Cummings in that of $500. Justice
Merrill spoke of the case as one of the most
outrageous, unprovoked and brutal that had
ever come under his observation, and gave
strict orders to Ellis, the officer, 60 watch and
give notice of the state of Peterson, in order
that the bail Of the aggressors might be in.
creased in the event of fatal symptoms ap
pearing.

own slaves, and be brought up ny Its
own money. we know not where Is the
power that can revive, or whence the
Promethean heat, that Is to felume lis
exiting uished patriotism.
The crisis is momentous in the ex-
IRENE, when an open and proclaimed Jug
pler and political slave dealer is in the
field for high Office, with show OF sue
cess-when usurpation and prerogalive
are in the field against the constitution
and law. Who for moment can doubt
the resul, Of such contest? II the qucs-
ton had been put to us six or eight years
ago, we should have known what answer
to give; but such has been the success,
hitherto, of bypocriiical canters ana
knaves, that, unless the Wings through
out the union shall agree among them
selves upon a prompt and energetic
course of action, the day will go az aims
us. And now, in conclusion, we Pledge
ourselves although we have as strong
personal choice among the distinguished
members OF the Wing ranks, as any ont
can have-to yield our preference II ne
cessary, and to sacrifice upon the alta
of country every feeling Of prepossessio
and personal bias, whenever the part
can agree upon their candidate. W.
will strive to the uttermost for any ma
of the true faith, who can, to the creates
extent, unite upon himself the element
of the opposition. Those elements ougt
not to neutralize each other, the groun
ofopposition is broad enough for all; and
when country is sthreatened with dire
ful calamity, the lovers of ofthat countr
should not be severed in their efforts {
redemption by insignificant difference
ofopinion. Then let US rally once more
and make one long, bold, hearty, an
united effort in the name OF Liberty, an
for the succor Of the constitution.

PIRACY.

We learn from the Louisiana Advertiser,
that vessel called the Montczuma, command
ed by notorious pirate, is now cruizing off
the coast Of Texas, purporting TO be Mexi-
can national vessel. The schr Columbia, un-
der Mexican colors. from New Orleans to
Brassoria, and schr Martha, under Mexican
colors, have both been seized by this pirate
and nominally ordered to Vera Cruz-but as
the passengers were landed on the const o
Texas, without their baggage, the vessel;
will, il is probable, be stranded there.
