The following is extracted from the "Cor-

On arriving here, found that the court
was in session, and that the celebrated case
Of the United States y. James r. Vineyard
was about to be brought 10 trial. Never
having been in a Western Court, had some
little curiosity to witness the manner in
which the laws are administered in Wiskon-
san and as this case was one that had ex-
cited much interest, thought the present
favorable opportunity. The history of the
case is no doubt fresh in your recollection,
and is about this: ]. r. Vineyard and G. p.
Arndt were members of the Legislative
Council of the Territory. A dispute arose
in the Council Chamber between them-
Vineyard charged Arndt with lying Arndt
returned the charge by striking Vineyard
with his fist, and Vineyard thereupon drew
| from his pocket pistol and shot him dead.
The offence was committed at Madison, but
change of venue was taken by the defend
ant to this county. For some reason or 9TH
er, the indictment instead Of being for MUIR
der, was simply for manslaughter, and upon
that charge was tried here.

interesting group assure you, and 1t would

The examination OF witnesses occupied an

hand, there were those who dealt only in
vitupcration, and whose only arguments
were charges Of dere,iction from wing prn-
ciples, who were entitled to no lnswer-and
they would receive none. Their inclination
to censure would have been rebuked, mad
they known by whose advice he had re-
manned.
1t was time Of great excitement, and
there was much evaporation in the party
against the President. No one could have
supposed that without some strong motive
ne would have been willing to remain--to
differ from his colleagues; and as for those
who supposed that that motive was per-
sonal one, neither their candor nor their
sagacity deserved any thing but contempt.
Admitting his desire to settle the difficult
ties with England to be personal motive,
then he had personal motive. As for the
imputation that he acted for any other
selfish advantage, he repealed it with scorn.
He thought he could do the State some SER
vice, and he remained in the Cabinet But
it excited contempt when those, whose only
desire seemed to be to make noise, when
men. reeking from their support of General
Jackson, [laughter] odorous all over with
the perfumes Of the Sub Treasury, cried out
like bantam cocks upon the rail-"take
care! Mr. Webster is showing inhdelity to
Wing principles did excite contempt
He repeated that he had thought he saw
an opportunity to do the State some service

leave it to the public judgement to decide
whether he had succeeded or not. On thu:
question he was in the Judgment Of this gen
Grafton and Of the next generation; and wa:
willing to agree that his name, fame, and
character, should abide that result. MI
Webster spoke these words with much feel
ing, and they were received with enthusi
astic cheers
He concluded his remarks on his come;
ton with the Cabinet, by acknowledging
Mr. Tyler's interest and assistance in TIT
negotiations with Great Britain; and by de
preca,ing the idea that his note, puolishe'
in the Intclligenccr at the time OF the reslg
nation OF mis- colleagues, reflected at all upo'
them; saying that his final retirement iron
the administration arose from the antagon
ism between the President and the WINS
party, which would have made his coDtinu
ance in office unpleasant to both.

The Election and the Future.

BY noting our rcturnsit will be seen that,
while the wings have almost every where
else, in the face Of most violent snow-storm
and other discouragements, achieved deci-
sive gains and often glorious victories, our
City has behaved sgraceful;y-throwir
away tie triumph which was so completely
in our hands, ard losing almost the entire
wing ticket by some or 500 average major
ity. A Senator for four years is gone a
County Clerk and Coroner for three years !;
with all but one Member Of Assembly. We
carry that one, with our Sheriff, who has
decided majority.
We might, if we pleased, exult over the
reduction to or 500 Of the last Springs Lo.
cofoco majority of $780, We might exult
over the valiant things the wings have done,
and the triumphs which surely await them.
But we shall do no such thing. The major
| ity Of last Spring was, five-sixths Of it, no.
torious. palpable fraud, and amounted to
nothing. There has been for years only a
few hundreds against US here, when the City
was not on our side. Now the chances were
all in our favor. The Common Council e.
lected by the swindling vote of last April
had behaved so badly as to excite universal
disgust, and create formidable, inveterate
schlsm in their own party. Inc wings, as
body, had only to exercise a moderate de-
gree of energy and common sense. and they
would have swept the City, electing theil
whole ticket by thousands. part Of them
have chosen to do very differently, and the
result is defeat which we cannot but con

Weekly Republican of St Louis is as hand
some specimen Of Typography as we have

permit their workmen TO grow careless. we
have no doubt their circulation will be
greatly increased. The paper has not only
been handsomely dressed with entire new

nit much more original, miscellaneous and
literary matter. Having been acquainted
with the Republican ever since it was a
''wee thing" and having witnessed its
growth from a areekly to a mammoth daily,
we have always felt interested in its welfare.
The industry Of the editors in furnishing
the latest news, and their unwearied at
tcmpts to give their subscribers entire sat
| isfaction without regard to pains or expen-
ses, ought to secure for them much wider
circulation than they now have for their
