Coz. WERs.-By our report of the Proceed
ngs in the Court of Sessions, it will be seen that
Col. WEBB has been discharged in consequence
| of blunder in the Indictment. The Starute de-
clares it to be crime for any TO 60 out of the
| State with intent to give Or receive challenge
and to give or receive such challenge. The in
dic,mept or which Col w WINS arraigned
charged him simply with leaving the State ptth
intent to give challenge; and TO tAiS charge he
plead guilty.. But the Court of course declined TO
pronounce sentence for this, which was no crime,
and Col Webb was discharged Here the matter
will probably rest. The Journal of Commerce on
| Monday had baser and more palPably mahg-
nant article on this subject than usually appears
even IN ia columns. II was intended to influence
| the Court to pronounce the highest sentence upon
| Col Webb for fighting this duel; and yet only
| day or two before it was fought, and after
challenge supposed to have passed, the Jour
| nal tainted Webb with cowardice, and prophe-
cied sneerngly that he would not fight Was
there ever blacker hearted hypocrisy than this
20 We trust every real friend Of the Protective
Policy will carefully read the plain and forcible
| Letter of Hon. ARCHIBALD L. LINN, in reference
to his course on the Tariff question, which we
publish this morning No fair mind can read 1t
without being convinced of the gross untairness,
the essential falsehood, Of accusing those Wings
who could not consent TO surrender the Land Dis
tribution of hostility to a Protective Tariff, and
thereupon asserting that thirty Wings in Con-
| gress voted against Protection. Such an asser-
ton is dishonest and untrue, no matter who makes
it. Mr.. Linn exposes it most searchingly.
10 Hon. JOHN A. KING of Queens is the
| Wing candidate for Congress in the First District
composed of Queens and Suffolk. Mr.. King is
Just one of those Woodworking, nevertiring, noble
soulcd, high-minded Wings that any man ought to
DELIGHT in working week for We wish he had
better District to run in, but confident that ne
will make the best of that he has.
pE. W. LEAvENWORTH of Syracuse, has
been nominated by the Wings of Onondaga for AS
sembly, in place of B. 0. Noxos, who declines.
Gen. LEAvESwoRrH will ably and usefully fill the
place of Mr. Noxon in the Assembly, and that is
high praise. There is no mistake in Old Onondaga
this time.
~ julius ROCKWELL of Pittsfeld is the Wing
candidate for Congress in the Berkshire District,
Mass. in place of Hon. GEO. N. BRIGGS, who,
after te- wears of faithful service, peremporily de-
clines reelection. Henry w. Bishops the Loco
candidate.
90 The Wbigs of ScHoHAR1E have nominated
HENRY Mann, Jr. for Sheriff, MERR1MAN Pres
TON and ADAM P. MArrIcE for Assembly. Scho-
hare does not often send Wings to the Legislature,
but they are always first rate ones when she does
| send them Of course these are of the night sort.
~ Gen JOHN A. DIX, former Secretary OF
State under Gov. Marcy, sailed from this port on
Saturday for Madeira. The i'll health of Mr.. Dix
renders this voyage necessary.
| 20 Mr. Sheffield, pilot, in charge Of the brig
Atlas, when she run into the sloop Ricnzi, of which
we published an account on Friday, desires us to
contradict the statement on his authority assuring
US that the accident entirely owing to careless
ness and mismana cement on the part of the soop.

That speaks well for the modcsty of the girls in
Burlington-for we happen to know that it's not

% The Loco-Focos of Duchess Congressional
District have two candidate for Congress; Richard
D. Davis of Poughkeepse, nominated by COL
ven,ion at Stormvie; and Gouyerneur Kemble of
Putnam, nominated by Convention at Fishkill.
We presume that the latter will be backed out in
due season to secure the election of Davis.
