RATHER SEvERE.-Dr. Elder, Of the " Lii
berry Herald" in commenting upon Web
ster's speech at Marshfeld. uses the follow
ing pointed, and just language:
"He is witty about the Buffalo platform /;
he thinks there are some rotten places in it.
: Yet | can stand on it very WELL He de-
sires to know who is TO put under his feet a
freer soil than he has had since he became a
public man! W. cannot answer the Bufla-
10 platform cannot answer him. 1t demands
free soil for free men only, il is not a moral
abolition parry. Political action can do no.
thing more or less for Mr.. Webster's liberty
than 10 abolish Imprisonment for debt. He
must ask the Boston and New York mer-
chants for his free papers.
He says he never proposed any thing in
his life that Mr.. Van Buren, did not oppose.
That is so much 10 the credit of Mr.. Van
Buren's honesty and sagacity, and he is a
happy man that has been thirty years in pub.
lie life without ever falling into any of Mr.
Webster's follies and blunders. Indeed
there could be but few left for Mr.. Van Blu,
rem to peIpetra,e. We are glad that the diff
ference between them is so wide.

Mob at IIarwiCh Mass.

Here i. a more particular account of the
mob at Harwich, than that which we copied
last week from the Liberator. 1t 10 taken
from the Standard.
DEAR Friend GAY.~-Last Sunday after
noon | witnessed the first Pro-Slavery mob
that ever dishonored Cape Cod-and it was
an outrage that would have done honor to
New York or Boston in their Palmiest days
of brutal violence. Most of your readers I'M
ders,and the Cape 10 be a grand nursery OF
nasigaiors. The children exchange the era
die for the " canoe" in some form or other,
and by the time the boys are eighteen, they
can saddle and bride a ship OF six hundred
tons, and ride her down 10 Canton or Calcul-
ia, as easily as a country lad rides a horse TO
mill. ,
But trading and c%oasting TO the South, and
TRANSPORTING cotton 10 New England and old,
has had a most disastrous effect Oh the NOR
al feeling of these sons Of the ocean. The
mob at Harwich was the result in part OF an
exposure that illustrates the deadening In
fuence Of the slave system on all who come
in contact with it.
A captain of a vessel from Harwich OF
Dennis, was in Norfolk, Va. and a slave
came down on board, and begged TO be ia
ken 10 the North. By some means he haC
saved a hundred dollars. and offered ih'
whole of it, if the captain would take hin
and another 10 a free state. The captain 81
far agreed as to take the money; then wen
on shore, betrayed the poor slave, had hin
arrested, advertised and committed to prison
Then he sailed for home, and brought Of
the hundred dollars, leaving the owner i
prison, TO await a fate doubtless more terrlbl
than a thousand deaths. When he wen
back to Norfolk, he carried the money, foun'
the owner Of the slave, who claimed it a
his own. He paid it over TO him, and re
ceived twenty-five dollars as his Tewsrd.-
Such were the facts.
Sunday was the fourth and last day OF on
meeting. We met in a grove, and when W
were broken up, lheIe were not less tina,
twenty FIVE hundred people on the ground
learned the story of the transaction
which 1 have referred, in the morning, from
the captains own lips, and at a convenlen
time in the afternoon, made a full statemen
of il, accompanied with such a
seemed appropriate, not pery mild in HHproS
ability.
The effect Of my remarks was very mani
fest throughout the whole multitude OF tn

distinguished services, the President re-.

..EX.PREsIDENT ADAMS.

Tho Hon. John Quincy Adams,
member from Massachusetts of the House
of Representatives, was suddenly seized
with npoplexy while sittingin his, chatr in
the Representatives. Hall on the 21st ult.,
When seized he was making an effort to
rise from his chair, after having very
emphatically and in loud tone pronoun-
ced his vote against a resolution present
ing the thanks Of Congress and medals to
all the generals officers engaged in the
late battles in Mexico who were under
the command Of Gen. Scott. He was i'm,
mediately borne into the Speakers room
in the Capitol, where he continued for
some time insensible. On this occur
renee the House adjourned. 1t was the
desire Of the venerable ex-president s.to
die in harness. - and there is little reason
to doubt that his desire is gratified. The
last accounts represent him as alive on
Wednesday the 23rd ult., but that there
wereno hopes ofhis recovery. He was still
lying in the Speakers room, from which
it was inexpedient to remove him., sur
rounded by the members ofthe Massach-
usetts delegation. His wife has been
constant watcher by his side during his
illness. He was rapidly but calmly sink
ing and the next news in oil probability
will inform us OF his death. ;gt7
Mr.. Adams is venerable ir years and
has grown old in hostility TO the south.
The experience Of years has not Increased
his knowledge of this part of the United
States but his bitterness against it, arising
no doubt principallyfrom his ignorance.
Had he in former years visited tho south,
travelled over and resided in it for few
months only, his violent prejudices and
hatred against US would have probably
been removed like those Of many Others
who have come among us and observed
our necessary policy. His death will bs
but little regretted at tho south; for here
he is considered fanatic, and his uncom.
promising hostility during q long period
ofyears has caused us to regard him as q
bitter enemy. Such TO us he has proved.
His name here is considered as synoni-
mons with folly, fapaticism, and mad ab.
olitionism. He has used all his influence
to aid those who would destroy the south
and blot out their race from the earth
their name from the page Of history. Re.

The San Luis pronunciamento is likely to
prove as abortive as the friends of peace could
wish. The Governors Of Zacatecas, Micho.
acan, Guanajuato and Jalisco repuliate It,
and Gen.. Bustamente, to whom the command
Of the revolted forces had been offered, de-
clines the honor, sitting that he owes allegi..
ance to the Supreme Government, which he
is not disposed to forfeit. In no part of the
country that has been heard from has it met
with the slightest favor; not even in San Lu-
is itself, the governor having been arrested
on his attempt to promulgate it as law
when he resigned. Rosa, the Minister of
Foreign Relations, has published document
in answer to the pronunciamento almost as

THE SMITH CASE IN CINcINNAT1-T The
Jury appointed in the case Of Paschal IS.
Smith, who was said to have spent some
10000 of his property at the bidding of a
pretended Mormon prophet, have returned
the following sensible verdict;
We, the jury cmpannelcd and sworn to
enquire into the case of Paschal b. Smith, Of
Mill Creek township, Hamilton Go. Ohio, do
find that, from several causes, the mind OF
said Smith has become alicnatcd; and that,
in the mildest sense of the term, he is now
insane, and incapable of managing bis pecn-
mary affairs.
We do not find, from the testimony before
us, that it would be dangerous to the peace
and safety of the community for him to go at
large. He is not pauper, but from the best
information from witnesses in his case, may
be worth forty or fifty thousand dollars
We further find that he has been resident
of the State of Ohio for more than one year
from this date.
In rendering this verdict VIC are compelled
to say, that the witnesses in this case have
all testified to the excellent moral character of
Mr.. Smith, and to the goodness Of his heart,
and we feel confident that in the new asso-
Citations surrounded by kind and true fsiends,
he will soon he restored to his reason, and be
permitted ia resume tho entire control OF his
affsirs,

! INCREDIBLE SToRY.-The Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, tells the
following story:
a most horrible instance of monomaniacal
suicide occurred recently at Baton Rouge,
La, in the person of a gallant soldier an Ar
my Major, who lost an arm in one of the ear
licst battles Sitting alone in his room, at
the above military post, the fancy took fast
hold upon his mind that he saw the Virgin
/ Mary sitting or standing in the midst of the
fire upon his hearth She told him he WAS
devoid of the requisite firmness, and as test
required him to thrust his remaining hand
into the live Goals. He did so, and held it
there until the hand and half of the fore arm
had been consumed The spirit, vision,
seemed not to be yet satisfied whereupon
the Major, sitting upon the floor, filled his
lap with Goals, and his body was burned to
the bone His servant found him in this
condition. For two days he seemed TO re-
main nsens;blc, but revived sufficiently TO
relate the particulars given above. Strang-
est of all, he experienced not the slightest
pain during the time his arm was burning, or
while the living Goals were heaped upon his
lap His death was consequent upon the in

The meeting called yesterday to sympathize
with France in her Republican efforts was
fully attended and went off enthusiastically.
The speeches were excellent, and there was
one feature in TIE meeting worthy Of more
than a passing notice. Several colorcd per-
sons formed a temporary stand and gathered
large crowds around them, while they OK,
patiatcd On the blessings Of freedom, and
declared their sympathy for the movements
toward civil and religious liberty which are
now convulsing Europe.
1t is significant sign of the times That
these men were not only allowed to speak,
but we're attentiyely listened to and applaud
ed; to see them swaying a crowd by their
imprisoned eloquencc, and eliciting cheers
from all classes of their fellow-citizcns-
There was much sound sense and practical
philanthropy in their speeches, and one OF
them was an orator in the best and most ex-
tended sense of the word. This liberty oil
speech and federation of sentiment form a
striking contrast to scenes going on III other
parts Of the Union.
