ser's course, it Is thought and said, 'wlll give
the Wings at The North some trouble We arc
pleased to sec the opinion limited to the North,
for we can assure our political friends there that
IN the South and West we fear none Of the antlc
pated trouble. And why should Mr.. ". give
trouble to Ways any where To disafccted,
flying, Yeneatiag Whigs-half- l;yIerized Wings
If any such there are, and they can indeed DC
tew-Mr. Webstcr's course may give trouble,
but never to the unterrfed, 10 the honest sincere,
out-and-out Wings Of the North, more than to
those of any other section of the country. We
know that at the North the great body OF the
party, Notwithstanding all that has passed, have
held fast TO the profession of their political faith
without wavering, and that no better or tlrner
men can be found. Now, how can these men be
troubled By Mr.. Webster? Can that gentle
man turn Loco-Foco? No! Can he come back
and be Wig? He NAV. But in neither event
can he give trouble We confess that there Is
no public man whose declcnson in the estimation
Of the great party which had sustained HIM
through every trial, we witnessed with more re-
gcet than we did in the case of Mr.. Webster. If
Tylerim did not blast him outright 1t withercd

nor can we, conceive how, in honor or in graft
tade-L<we emphasize the word because we mean
exactly what we say}-how in gratitude, there
fore, MIR. Webster could have acted as nc has
done; hoping to build up party for himself, or,
With the higher and nobler aim, of expecting to
benefit his country. He may have been jealous
of Henry Ciay-he may have been, and may
continue to be- as we fear heis anxious to thwart
Air. Clay; but nothing can altogether excuse
The countenance that for months he gave
TO an Administration whose principles he
he must have scorneG, and whose course he must
now detest. We, on all occasions feel free to
speak of the public course of Mr.. Webster, be-
cause he himself will admit that our humble aid
IN his behalf has been freely given in times that
are passed. and when it was professed at least, to
be highly priced. Alexandria Gazette.

nous for the cultivation of this delicious fruit
We had the pleasure of receiving large basket
OF the finest we have seen this season last week
from the farm of j. j. Scofeld, Esq near Morris
town, and understand that the fiourishing orchard
in which they grew has yielded large crop for
market Il IS certain, therefore, that there is no.
thing in the soil or climate Of that district to pre-.
vent the successful cultivation of the fruit. Some
