ODD VISITER.

Our wharf was visited on Tuesday morn
ing by an Iron Steam Boat. This novel
spectacle attracted the attention OF many of
our citizens who went down to pay their res
poets 10 the stranger, although most Of us
were too late to do more than catch a glimpse
of her as she wendell her way to Pla,tsburgh.
We are informed that she is to ply between
New York and ST. Johns, being made ex-
actly to fit canal lock.
Notwithstanding the heavy material o.
which she is made, she is represented as {
light, pretty little craft, worthy in build ant
appointments Of the beautiful waters she il
destined to traverse.

THE GAME STILL CARRIED oN.-Capt
Tyler has played another card in Vermont
and with his usual skill : it was instantly
humped and he lost, as he always does, all
the honors. II. b. STACY, ESQ.,, appointed
by Tyler himself Postmaster at Burlington,
was dismissed last Saturday week. Previous
to his entering upon its duties, the Office was
kept in one of the oldest, dirlest and most
repulsve corners of that beautiful village /:
he Immediately fitted up, in most elegant
style, central and commodious office, and
has continued, down to the day Of his pro-
scription, to discharge its duties with all pos
sible fidelity and care, and to the perfect sat
istaction of men of all parties. Dana Wins
low, Esq, whose sole recommendation con-
sisted in having edited for year or two one
of the puniest, least reputable Loco Foco
sheets in New England, has been appointed
his successor. AS soon as it was known IN
Burlington that Mr.. Stacy was removed, he
was elected Clerk of the County and SUI
preme Courts, then in Session-in place o
Mr.. Noble, who had, though Loco Foco
been allowed to hold it for great number o
years. The Office is worth some hundred
dollars more than that he lost, and Mr.. Stacy
is relieved from the nightmare oppression o
being obliged 10 appear to approve the prof
legacy and meanness of the Tyler Admins
tra,ion. The Captain will have to try again

names are appended to ii at Washington,
and was subsequently sent to several others
for their signatures at their respective places
of residence. Eight other members, whose
names are not affixed to the copy published
in your paper, have since signed it, or after
reading it, have written TO me and auhorz-
cd and requested me to sign their names to
it before its publication. or this fact, MIR.

Success OF THE Ruop ISLAND SURFACE Party

Success OF THE RHoD E. ISLAND SUFFRAGE PARTY
We sometimes here II SAID that the Suffrage party
ol Rhode Island has been beaen. II IS a mistake
The suffrage party has gained all they contemplated
in the outset OF Their labos. They resolved 10 kill
and bury the old Charter" That has been done.
They determined 10 have Republic form of govern
ment guaranteed IN written Constitution. They
sued al the beginning OF their abors They were OPP
posed a, every sep; but they advanced boldly for
ward. The opposite party were compelled TO follow
close after The Suffrage party triunphcd twice.
Who then has been beaten l-Piebeian.
Ii the Plebean is right land Mr. Slamm ought to
be good authority for the opinion of his barn burning
friends the Dorrltes) there will be more civil war
in Rhode Island. The Suffrage men have triumph
ed twice and are of course satisfied. The Law and
Order party are certainly content. The heroes OF
the Pewter Mug too must be abundantly gratifed
with the result OF their exerons for the "Roya char
ter is dead and buried, and Rhode Island now en-
Joys "a republican form of government guaranteed
in a written constitution" Since, then, there is no
further, occasion for agitation" in Rhode Island
Messrs Slamm, Ming, and Mike Walsh will have Ia
select new fell for their proselytIng labOrs. Why
not try their hands on Virginia and New Hampshire
In the former, "the mother of the Sta and States
men," the elective franchise TO say nothing of olher
natural rights" is infinitely more restricted than
everi was in Rhode Island In he latter religious
test is exacted of all persons holding Office under the
State administration Catholics are rlgdly excluded
| from any share in the administration OF the Govern
ment tho required bear their full proportion of it.

Mr.. WEBSTER, on his way homcward from
this city and from public life, accepted Of the
compliment of Public Dinner offered TO him
by number of merchants and other leading
citizens of Baltimore, without distinction of
party, in token of their estimate of the servi-
ces rendered by him in the station which he
has lately resigned.
A full account of this public Festival, at
which RoBERr GlLMoR, Esq. presided, will
doubtless be published. In the mean time we
gather the following particulars Of it from the
Baltimore Sun of yesterday:
The Dinner on Thursday evening took place
at the Exchange HOTEL and upwards of hun
drcd citizens were present. After par,aking of
the dinner provided on the occasion, the follow.
ing regular toasts were drank:
First. The Usios-now and forever one and in
separabe.
Second. The PpEsipEsr of the United States.
Third. The Constitution of the United States,
its authors, founder and defenders.
Fourth. The memory of WAsnINdToN
The fifth toast in order was prelaced with a
few remarks, from the Chair, appropriate 10 the
distinguished statesman whom the gentleman
present had assembled to honor. 1t was as
follows:
Our guest, DANIEL WEBSTER"
After the applause which followed the an
nouncment OF this toast, MIR. WEBSTER rose
and addressed the company in a speech occu.
plying about an hour and half, adducing SC.
res, OF facts concerning our commercial rela.
tons with several foreign nations, the unfav r.
able position which was occupied by the United
States in consequence of the present policy
| observed in the intercourse by treaty stpula
tons, and suggesting such changes as appcaret
| 10 be more likeIyto conducc to the national and
commercial interests, &c.-abstanng from nj
alluson to party topics. On concluding hi
speech, Mr.. w. submitted, ain all sincerity
truth, and heartincss," the following senti
| ment:
| "Prosperity to the inhabitants of the Monumental
| city: Always distinguished alike for enterprise, pub
lie spirit, and the warmcst and most cordial hosp
| talty."
After the conclusion of Mr. Websters re
marks the sixth regular toast was announc
cd, viz:
England and her Queen"
The national compliment implied in thi
toast was duly acknowledge by Mr.. McTAvIsr
the British Consul, in a neat, pertinent, all
brief speech.
The seventh and last regular toast was:
"l.ord AsHDuRTos."
This was prefaced by some remarks from tn
chair, complimentary to the character of III
subject of it, and received with very decide
marks of respect.-.Nat. Int.

THE GUARD.-It is rumored and generally
that DR.. Mallory will be appointed Minister

If this be truth, as soon as Profit can get

ded for. Gushing after being rejected as

FRIDAY MORNING. MAY &c, ls4s
THE STATE CONVENTION.

The period is again approaching when the
Wings Of Vermont are accustomed TO meet
in Council TO select the men who are TO fill
the high Offices of the State for the ensuing
political year. 1t has been our wont, when
this season returns. to call the attention Of
our readers to the subject, and glance at the
prospects of the coming campaign. And in
doing so at present, we eau truly say, we
have scarcely ever been able to give better
promise of success than seems to open be-
fore us this year. Although our present
Chief Magistrate has declined a reelection,
and the task will therefore devolve on the
Convention to make new nomination for
that office, we have no fears of the result
We believe that, large as is the circle from
which the choice is to be made, there is WIS.,
dom, selfdenial virtue and patriotism enough
in the Wings of the State, to bring forward
a man who will command the unanimous
appreciation and cordial support Of the Wing
Democracy, and we have no doubt they will
do SO. At the same time we would urge up
on all our friends the necessity of a full and
fair representation Of every town in the State
in order that the voice of the convention
may be an honest expression Of the popular
will. We see not why the Wings of the sew
era towns in this county cannot select their
delegates to the State Convention at the
same time recommended by the County
Committee for the appointment of delegates
to nominate a candidate for Congress. Let
these preliminary matters be promptly atten-
ded to, and let the popular preference be
fair y made known, and we shall go into the
contest with a confidence of victory which
can only be felt by those who lave never
been conquered, and who glory in the con-
seriousness that they never have deserved tc

COUNTY CONVENTION.

We hope the several wing County Commit.
tees in the State, will delay calling County Con-
ventions to make the nominations for Senators,
until after the sitting Of the State Convention.
We deem the holding of County Conventions
before the State Convention bad policy. The
State Convention should be frs: held and i'm
mediately after that body rises, the County Con-
ven,ions should be held. Inthis way the doings
of the State Convention will come up before
the people in their county assemblage, and all
receive their appreciation at the ssme time
The State Committee will probably call the
State Convention soon. We do not know as it
matters much how soon.
Our opponents say that we may expect hard
fighting the coming campaign. Very we'll

MORE FAMILY JARS,

The appointment by Captain Tyler of
Winslow and Hyde to the Post Office and
C"lleclorship in this place is an executive
dose, a pill, so to speak, which the Democ-
raey" are determined not to swallow
Hydc's appointment caused ii good deal of
squirming, but Winslow's excited stencil so
offensive in the popular nostrils that it could
not be endured. The unterriied Democrat
cy have accordingly broken out into open re-
bellion. The Sentinel and its Editor have
been formally read out the party, and new
paper is to be started, under the cognomen
of ;" The True Democrat" with the express
sive motto " Nullius addictus jurare in Ter

which is zoe swear we wont wear the Tyler
collar" The following is the prospectus.
