MURDER MOST Foul AND Observation-Disclosures
session of Congress has transpreo for several years.
but Webb has been there TO get up duel. lie has
at length effected his object and will now return TO
this city with hands reekng with the blood OF fellow
man. Will he be allowed TO take his editorial chair,
and will the public take his paper from his bloody
hands? Will he be allowed to frequent respectable
society! Will the Wings still allow themselves to be
borne down by his character !! We cannot IND lan-
guase 10 express the utter adherence of this murder
Gus work, which every lover of his country should
have. To have our national legislature our seat of
government thus disgraced and made guilty IN the
eyes of the werd by such mad cap whom ADVENT
tious circumstances have raised TO some influence,
produces indignation, chagrin and modification too
painful To smother.
IMPORTANT FROM THE ST. LAWRENCE FRoNTIEn.-
This mornings northern mail confirms the reports of
the rsings and movements on the frontier; and it is
further stated that simultaneous attacks were TO be
made last Tuesday on Kingston, Toronto, and Nal
den in Upper Canada, and Montreal in the Lower
Province. The three latter places are secure hun
dreds thousands of Jealous and armed defenders of
the government independent OF the regulars, being
stationed there's the only weak point is Kingston,
where some mischief may be done although no per.
manent impression can possibly be effected. In the
mean time, the Royals and detachmerts of other
gments are ordered with all haste to the latter town,
which IS fortified, and the streets barrcaded in ex
pectation of an attack.
Mackenzie has dsclaimod all connection with Van
Rensselaer, and sneers at his generalship in letter
| to the editor Of the Watertopn Journal.
Iii reported at Oswego that the American inva-
ders had captured Brockve, and liberated the prs-
oners there. They about to proceed to Prescott
from whence they would make dash at Kingston.
Their force is estimated at about 900.
While the people Of Kingston in this excitement,
the Inhabitants of the American side are dreading an
attack from the angry Royaists, and the whole from
tier seems to be in painful state of apprehension
The prospect looks gsomier and goomier, and the
bursting of the cloud cannot be long deferred The
invasion of Canada is decidedly American IN its cha
racter and appears that have neither the will nor
the ability to suppress it. But what can be expected
from an inHammable crew acted upon by state Of
things, and code ofopinons which produces brgand-
age on the frontier, prvae war at the capital of the
Union, and the open justification of every villainy
and crime by leading Wall street print? From
such condition Of things may God in his infinite
mercy protect this state and nation!
