as we conveniently could. We wish
we had room to spread before our re q
ders the details in full, as contained in
the columns Of our Baltimore contem-
poraries, with all their pictorial en-
bellishments." Bpi no description how
ever glowing, can come up to the affair
itself.
The speech Of DANIEL WEBSTER,
on the occasion, was received with the
highest qualification. 1t was noble
and hearty response to the CHOICE of
the Convention, and accorded to HEN
RY CLAY, in "a candid and manly spirit,
his high and superior claims for the
Presidency. We invite its attentive
perusal.

ago for counterfeng, but got clear there by
some freak of the law. lie Its said to be the ring
leader of all counterteting going on in these parts
The officers above mentioned recovered about
$l4,O0O in spurious money in Tincher's house,
situated on Fifth street, near Stone street, and
it is supposed he burnt large quantities while
they were getting in, the ashes were found
with ends OF bills on them. The plates were
found in a stable belonging to Tncher's house.
