"Mr. WEBSTER has retired from public
life and all participation in the affi:irs of
the governments; and if his friends who
continue TO hold place, and cannot hold the
confidence of the democratic party, should
not follow the example of the late Secre-
tary of State, who nobly surrendered his
trust because of his inability TO bring tho
administration any democratic strength,
they ought not TO complain of the course Of
events if they should be affected by i,."'
The preceding quotation is from the
Washington correspondence of the New
York Aurora. 1t is timely warning to
all that now hold office obtained through
the interposition of Mr.. Webster, 70 pre-
pare for removal as soon as possible. I;
also exposes the reason of Mr.. Webster
retiring from the Cabinet in May-vir:
"hs inability TO bring the administration
any Democratic strengthen, in other
words, Mr.. Webster would not give his
appreciation to the removal of certain pub
lie officers, and putting in others from the
avowed Democratic party, for the mere
purpose of obtaining a promise Of their sup
port to the administration: for the promise.
and, in most cases, probably, an implied
promise, is all that is gained by the change.
We have no doubt that Mr.. Webster re.
tired from the Cabinet because he per-
ceived that he could be of no further SER
vice to the country by remaining there.
AS to his bringing democratic strength
to The administration" it is presumed he
sought to bring it no strength but tina,
which is expected from people satisfied
that those who administer the government
do 50 with single eye to their prosperity.
The legitimate object fthe government
is to promote the happiness of the People
not to secure the support of party. We
have seen no better compliment to the pa.
lrio!sm and political integrity of Mr..
Webster, than is involved in that single
sentencc-"lie nobly surrendered his trust.
because of his inability to bring the ad.
ministration any Democratic strength"

Mr.. CLAY IN MASSACHUSETTS The Bos.
ton Atlas. the able and patriotic organ OF
the Wing party of Massachusetts, speaking
of Mr.. Clay's admirable letter to the Cham.
bersburg Clay Club, makes the following
remarks: .sr .....
There exists now not the shade of a
question that the distinguished writer of
this letter will be the candidate of our par
,y for the next Presidency. While the op-
posing party is widely rent asunder upon
the question of preference among their nu-
merous candidates, and while the quarrel
among their fercely contending factions is
hourly waxing hotter and hotter, the great
Wing party of the country may be con.
sidered as already firmly united, as having
already flung their banner free to the
breeze, and determined to rally round the
great statesman of the West, as the man
who is best of all fitted to relieve our be-
loved country from The evils which he so
portrays, and TO bring her back
TO that state of high and palmy prosperity
from which weak and wicked counsels
have so long turned her aside.
I'VE rejoice that we are TO 60 into the
contest with a candidate to whom we can
give our warm and hearty support. The
very soul of truth and honor; of open.
hearted sincerity; Of firm and devoted at
.achment to his country; of elevated views
of her capabilities and her future destinies;
and of bold and fearless determination
to overcome her political enemies and re-
establish her public policy upon firm and
enduring foundation. Ali these grea, and
noble traits are united in striking relief in
the person of Henry Clay. May heaven
grant that the affections which our eoun-
try has already suffered shall be deemed
sufficient atonement for any errors she NAV
have committed that the bright STAR OF
THE WEST may be in the ascendant in
1874; and that returning prosperity, mild
and equitable measures, and calm and
soothing political rePose, may bless the
whole people," -.......

in the Baltimore Market, 1900 TO 1000
hhds. having been received here during the
present season. We have heretofore had
occasion to say that, being new article,
want of due knowledge of lis qualities and

that when time is afforded to establish its

will maintain position quite as favorable
in the estimation of purchasers as that

will form prominent item in the extern.

Correspondence Of the Missouri Republican.
CRY or JErFERsoS, Sept. ID, 1S43.

Our city is somewhat animated at pres
ent by the session of three courts. The
Supreme Court is still in session for the
purpose Of making up and writing out its
decisions and opinions upon cases that have
been argued before it during the last two
months. Many important cases have been
decided, and some have been continued on
account of the absence of counsel and 9th.
er causes. The Bankrupt Court is in ses.
sion, and also the Circuit Court of the u.
States. and Judge Wells presides in each,
thus occupying very amphibious position.
Judge Catron is not in attendance; from
what cause is not known. Judges are too
apt to be delinquent in attending upon their
courts. Weston T. Birch is in attendance
as Marshal Of the court, and makes a
prompt, energetic. and accommodating pub.
lie officer. The Grand Jury is ia session,
and consists of number of excellent ci,
zens from various parts of the State. Col.
William II. Russell, Of Galloway, is fore.
man of the Grand Jury. Many attorneys
are in attendance on the Bankrup, Court,
and some on the Circuit Court, for the Dur.
pose of defending criminals. Nine persons
were brought up by the Marshal, charged
with the murder and robbery of Chaves,
on the Santa Fe route; and also man ma.
med Watson, charged with participation in
the Treasury Note robbery. Watson is in
Jail, and the Santa Fe murderers were, by
order Of court, committed TO the peniter.
liary for safe keeping. Their counsel OBJ.
ecled to this as illegal, and as being dis.
graceful to the prisoners; and probably they
were still more opposed TO the penitentiary
On account Of the strength and height of
