CONVENTION.


Ir. Watkins Leigh, in his speech-on
Monday evening, stated some circumstan-
ces, which may be interesting to our read
ers, at the present moment, to learn. Mr..
Leigh stated that in the winter of ls14-15,
he was at " ashington and lodged at Craw-
lord's Hotel, whore were MIR. Webster,
Mr.. Mason of n. Hampshire, Messrs. Gas
ton and Stanford, of \. Carolina, and sever.
al other members Of Congress that the
Hartford Convention was the general sub.
Ject Of conversation; that he remembers
perfectly well to have conyersed with Mr..
Webster on the subject; that Mr.. Webster
disapproyed Of the Convention, as an indis-
Greet and il!-ludged measure, although he
did not at all believe that any of its men,
bora entertained any purpose Of dividing the
Union, or any other evil purpose whatever.
MIR. Leigh said he remembered perfect.
ly well, that he, Mr.. Webster, mentioned
the names Of one or more persons, men,
bers Of the Convention, who, he was per-
suaded, labored rather to alIay than in.
crease the excitement then existing in New
England and the North.
This simple statement, from an authen.

never questioned word of Benjamin Wat.

it has sought to prejudice the People OF

Was the constant cry of those who op,
posed the Administration of Mr. Adams
and for his alleged extravaganza, he was
driven from office to give place to one
who promised every species of Retrench-
ment and Reform. To show how the
pledge to curtail the expenses of Govern.
ment has been fulfilled, we refer every vo-
ter to the expenditures of the Custom
House of New York. In 1886, the sum
of Sl62, 23G was paid for Clerks. This
alarmed the whole Country. 1t was con-
sldered enormous, and every true Patriot
was called upon to cry aloud and spare
not. And 10 what a liberal harvest of
economy has the Country realized We
find by reference to official documents,
that in 1899, the sum of fire hundred and
forty one thousand, nine hundred and sirtg.
four dollars was paid out in Clerks Sala.
