THE STEWART WILL CAsE.-We have received,
and will publish tomorrow, printed pamphlet,
containing an address ''To the Public" by LlsPE-
NARp STEWART, ESQ in reply TO the statements
recently published by Mr. James Watson Webb,
relative to the controversy in the Stewart will
case.
This reply is very terse and cogent 1t exhibits,
on the amples, proof, the strange inaccuracies and
blunders, to call them by the gentlest names, which
were recently made by Mr.. Webb, and pictures
forth the conduct of that amiabe parsonage to-
wards his connexions in the cearest and most ndis-
putable light
We begin to feel flood of sympathy for poor
Webb He has several little items of character
about him that rather good and respec able
but of late years he has made many plumbers In
his ambitious career, that we are amazingly puz-
zled TO the best method of helping him out of
his difficulties. He says he is Christian but
he is certainly rum Christian at best. He seems
10 be making war on all the world, and involving
himself in endless controversies in all of which he
comes out second best. But wilful Kan will have
his way.

into this city that they not entitled to vote a,

Others, however, came little too late for that high

our citizens generally. Some of these ssquatters''
have resided here a few months only, and some
were sent down specially for our benefit.
The Governor it seems, is not content with
these small liberties taken with the natural rights
of our citizens, but has nominated to the Senate a
gentleman from county alongside of Schohare

The announcements one of the Albany papers
that 'Chares Mcvean, ESQ.,, of Montgomery
county, was on Friday last nominated by the Go
vernon to be Surrogate OF the county OF New

people that such was the fact. Senator Scott
however, getting leave of absence for few days
after hanging this and other similar nomination:
up to dry in the Senate, came down post TO fee
the public pulse about the matter, and finds lhs
more kicks than coppers are in store for any body
implicated in this compliment upon our ancient
city, and that 1t is political death to any legisa
tor who consents to confirm this nomination. He
will take back the consolatory information to Go
vernon Bouck that he mist fall a sacrifice to his
personal friendship TO Mr.. Mcvean, and that he
will lose the city OF New York at the mex, gene
