NIes.r. Webster and Choate.

An important trial of the patent case, Many VS..
Sizer, which occupied four weeks, was recently
decided in Boston. The trial was occasioned by an
alleged infringement of patented car wheel. The
jury gave verdict Of $l,7ss 10 to the Plaintiff
What added to the interest Of the trial was the
ployment of Messrs Webster and Choate as antag-
onists. correspondent OF the Springfield, Mass,
Republican furnishes the followug:-
sThe Court Room has been crowded day after day
to witness the conflict of the giants who have fought
with an energy only commensurate with the stake
at issue, which is said to be of no small magnitude.
The argument of Mr. Choate for the Defendants,
was one of SURPRISING beauty, and though perhaps
It had something of the fancifu las who will doub?)
am mistaken If it had not also strength which
the Herculean powers Of a Webster have not quite
demolished. The argument of Webster, in his con-
else and Doric style, ponderous and able in the
extreme, with little attempt to play the orator, for,
one which required sto fulmine DER Greece and
shake the Arsenal. but his object was to find the
truth, which had been beautifully compared to the
pearl.which must be shed for only in still waters'
II has been rare treat to witness two of the grea
test ntellects of the age, brought thus into actual
conflict. 1t was not difficult to discover that each
regarded the other with high admiration, during the
whole trial. When one has spoken, the other has
watched every word that has fallen from his lips,
seemingly with intense interest. The one all ma
jesty. grave, serene. his dark eye kinded by
brilliant spark from the genius of the other, by
pungent hit, or misunderstanding thought, when
the flash indicated the thunder rumbing within and
ready to burst forth in the terror and majesty of an
almost super-human power. The other all nerves,
tremulous. FESTIVE, watching for tangible spot to
fasten upon, his eye like forked lightning, every
where at once, burning in phrenzied seeming, now
wrapped for moment in apparent contemplation
Of the allpervading grandchildren as if tossed by
the propelling instinct within, he seemed ready to
pour forth an avalanche Of thought, bedecked in
ssiewels' amaranthne blaze.', Mr. Choate frequent
~ complimented Webster during the trial--but his
compliments came unstuded, seemingly unbid-
den. sudden as spark from battery, yet fault
less and graceful. Webster, more sparing of his
compliments, yet not seldom permitted the audi
cnce to read from the @tablet Of his unuttered

THE wILMor PRovISo.

Lest silence should give consent, we would just
say to our contemporary across the way, that the in
fei ence he draws from simply inserting the ar
ticlc from the Louisville Journal, is wholly unwar-
ranted. We do not think the article itself author
i1es the conclusion to which he comes as far as its
influence is concerned and it did, our transfer
ring it to our columns without note or comment,
furnishes no committal on our part. The day has
past when we can ever make any COMPROMISE in ia
vcr Of slavery in any form. The Ordinance of's7
in the shape of the Wilmot Froyiso is dearer to
than ever.
As free State, Iowa should maintain its ground
in behalf of the Wilmot Prosiso, notwithstanding
chief Senator. Gen. DODGE, has completely COM
mitted himself against it, and thrown himself into
the arms Of its opponents-the slaveocracy of the
South. In this we think he has wounded the cause
of Observation-Disclosures large majority of his
constituents--and given death blow to his popu-
larity among them. He declared in his recent re-
marks in the Senate on this subject that he was
sswing to risk the small popuarty'' he enjoyed in
promoting the interests of the South. There are ma
ny anti-slave extensionists among his partizans in
this State, who will be apt to show him that such
"risk' has ruined his political prospects. We have
time to go fully into this subject and answer the
article in yesterdays Gazette, but the editor
quires further reasons why still adhere to the
Wilmot Proviso, we shall be prepared to give them.

New HoAx.-A most marvellous account is 20.
ing the rounds of the papers about the discovery of
subterranean canal connecting the Atlantic with the
Pacific oceans under the Isthmus Of Darien, pro-
ceeding from the Bay of Honduras in an opening of
- feet wide. French Doctor at Vera Paz pro-
fesses to have explored it, who found to be built
ofhuge stones, rudely cut. This will do to go a.
longside the story about accelerating the speed of
horses SO that they tra,e ell at the rate of 100
miles per hour by the use OF newly invented morse
skate, said to be now employed in Russia.

THE PLANK RoAD.-The amended articles of AS
sociation Of the Plank Road company may be seen
in another column. The Books now opened and
will be found either at Mr. J. G. Foote'S or at CAR
PENTER's. The Companywill be fully organized as
soon as $4,000 subscribed. As all our citizens
are interested, every property holder should sub
scribe something. All who wish to avail the selves
in having voice in the election of suitable officers
should not wait for further invitation. More than
one third of the above sum is already subscribed,
and there is no doubt about the commencement and
completion of this important undertaking. We hope
the farmers the line will cheerfully give the
right of way and subscribe literally to the Stock.
Books are also opened for the accommodation OF
the people on the line and the end of the route,
Middletown, Messengers, New London and at Mt.
Pleasant, and we hope to hear good account from
these places. Such noble work as this should not
be in the hands of a few. Every property holder
who is to be benefited should do his part in push
ing the work forward.

LOUIS NAPOLEON.

We set up no claim to political foresight, but it
will be recollected that while many of our cotempo
raries were in exstaces when the news Of Louis Ma
poleon's election to the Presidency was received,
we uttered the following tive anticipate for him
brief administration. From what little we know
of his character he is destitute Of the capacity of
governing Republic, especially one whose ele-
ments are dscordant as those of France"
Our anticipations, it will be in another arti
Gle, have been to some extent realized. His first
mis-step will, we think, prove fatal one. His in
fuence must lose its potency. Ambitious and ADLER
men than himself will take advantage Of his weak
and seek his speedy downfall. Ifthey love the
Constitutions they may far adhere to it to per-
nit him to govern during the term for which he was
elected-aud we hope they will--but he can never
he reelected For the sake of constitutional free
dom, we are sorry to see our own statement in re-
gard to him verified, it creates fear that this il
lusration Of his being Substitute of the capacity of
governing will be made the occasion for the French
demagogues to stir up another revolutions and thus
rctard the progress Of freedom.

Col. BENTON AND THE PRINrERs-.1n
Eminent Example for Oiaers.-At the re-
cent anniversary Of the Typographical So
ciety at Washington, Col. Benton was pre-
sent and made very timely speech. Mr.
Greeley thus sketches his playful allu-
sions. II will be perceived that Col. B.
is man Of some feeling for the printers,
which in too many cases is unusual. The
scrawls which are frequently handed in,
arise from sheer Incidence, because the
writer desires TO throw labor on the CON-
positors, which of right it is the duty of
the correspondent himself to do. We
again commend Col. BIS example to all
correspondents
Col. Benton was next called out by a
toast TO "The Father Of the Senate" which
he was compelled by the company to take
10 himself. He remarked that he had been
a writer for the Press nearly or quite as
long as the Father Of the Press" who
had just spoken-that he had been writ
ing and written AT for the last forty years,
in either capacity furnishing work for the
Printers, whose intelligence and capacity
he had had many good reasons TO appreci-
ate and remember with gratitude. He
was under many obligations to them, and
he laid claim TO one acknowledgment at
their hands-that he had never wilfully
shlrked off his own proper labor as a wri
ter or speaker upon them, but had always
sen! them his copy properly prepared
plainly and clearly written out, on good
paper. written but on one side, with dou-
BILE space between the lines--no such a.
bominable hieroglyphics as "The Father Of
the Press" Mr. R,chie) was in the habit
OF manufacturing. 1.-THE allusion to Faith
er Ritchie's ungainiy po,hooks excited
general and intense merriment, Mr. R.
heartily acknowledging the corn" and
joining the laughter.] Col. B. spoke fur
Their IN the same strain, and closed with a
sentiment complimentary TO the craft, (which
was warmly received. forgot to say that
he commenced by remarking that he had
often wished TO be invited to one OF these
festivals, and wondered why he was not.
