Fate Of Dr. Webster,

A Boston letter of the 3lst ultimo, pub
llshed in the Philadelphia Bulletin, has the
following statements respecting the posi-
ton aud prospects of DIR. Webster, lately
convicted of the murder of Dr.. Parkman:
| have been careful TO elicit the true
sense of the people OF Boston IN reference
to Doctor Webster, and the opinion that
he will be executed, is very general. This
opinion is growing stronger, perhaps
ought to say is ripening into desire that
he should be executed; first, because8 of
the strong movements made in New York
and in Philadelphia, by the papers and
petitions, intended, as they believe, ito
force Massachusetts TO protect his life
against her own judgment, and in def.
ance of her own private rights in the case;
secondly, because for years past the senti-
ment had prevailed that capital punish
ment ought never to be inflicted; and it is
now generally believed that this opinion
has cmboldened the murderer, and for the
last few years there has been more deci-
ded firmness In the decisions of juries and
IN the executions. To all this may be ad-
ded the fact the Governor has not the
power TO pardon, without the concurrence
of his council; and 1t is believed this could
not be obtained even if his excellancy
wished TO pardop or commute But it Is
believed that he does not

tions of the State so far as the Portage
Railroad is concerned, and TO pay al

he can carry out the cash principle on tie
Road, it will be saving of at least tweny
per cent. to the Commonwealth, and pre-
vent those ruinous losses which SO mary
of those employed by the State have been
compelled to sustain for want of the ne
cessary means of support.
P. S. Since the above was written we
have learned that the State Treasurer has
refused to pay out any more funds until
such time as he is satisfied that he will
have sufficient to meet the August interest.
We regret this exceedingly, as we did
hope that we would hear no more com
plants about the want of money on the
Road, and we have no doubt the Super
intendent is also much disappointed, as no
man could have made greater exertions to
liquidate all the claims against the State
in the speediest, manner possible. We
sincerely trust, however, that he will be
enabled to draw the necessary funds in a
short time.

DREADFUL CALAMITY.
LAKE STEAMER BURNT
Ab0ut Two Hundred Lives Lost.
BUFFALO, June II.


The steamer Griffith" Capt. Roby,
going up the Lake, took fire, about 5 o.
clock this morning, when about twenty
miles from Cleveland, and burned to the
waters edge.
The mate, who swan ashore, from the
burning boat, for help, has reached
Cleveland, and reports that only about 80
of those on board were saved, and these
swan ashore-there being no other ves
sci near, to render assistance.
Capt. Roby, wife..and child, are among
the lost.
1t is reported that there were from 2 to
800 persons on board, most of whom
were emigrants, on their way to the
west.
If this is correct estimate, the num-
ber lost may exceed 200.
1t IS impossible as yet to ascertain the
cause of this disaster, or to give any fur
ther particulars. 1t is the greatest ca
lamity that has occurred on the Lake
since the destruction of the Erie"

Delegate Elections.

The democrats of Cambria county will
not forget that Saturday next is the day
appointed for the election of Delegates to
County Convention which is to assem-
BILE in this place on the following Tuesday
for the purpose of placing in nomination
a County Ticket. AS the duties that will
devolve upon that body are of the utmost
importance to the party, not only in this
county, but throughout the State, the ne
cessity of electing good men as Delegates
must be manifest to all. We therefore
trust that no apathy will be displayed by
our democratic friends, but on the contra :
ry, that they will turn out to the election,
and discharge faithfully that duty which
every democrat owes to his party; and
see that such men only as are worthy of
their confidence, and who will carry out
the wishes of those they represent are
sent as Delegates TO the County Conven-
ton.

the exact moment Of his dissolution" He
was at all times feeble in bodily health,
and his death was fastened by aropsy in
the chest. Pope was never married.
Thus the three great poets of the six
teenth, seventeenth and eighteenth cen.
turies have no living descendants at this
period.
The four or five latter years of Shaks-
peare's life, he passed in digniied ease,
in profound meditation, and in universal
respect, at his native town of Stratford.
Pope obtained, from the sale of the Hiad
95, $40, and from the Odyssey e3 ,6s5.
He enjoyed for many years the retreat of
Twickenham. where many of his later
productions were written.

1t will be gratifying to the numerous

place of his nativity and again become one
of our fellow townsmen. AS he is we'll
known in this county to be gentlem an
of very considerable legal attainments, we
predict that his success among his old
friends and associations will be commen-
surate with the warm esteem and respect
that is entertained for him as man and a

~The Bedford Democrat annou

u The Bedford Democrat announces
the name of John A. Blodget, of Bedford
as candidate for Congress. We have
now four candidates in the field; John
Snodgrass and Alexander Mckinney OF
Westmoreland, J. M'Donald of Cambria,
and John A. Blodget, of Bedford. On
tomorrow, Westmoreland will select one
of her own citizens for that post; we will
adopt the candidate selected by our own
county, and expect to elect him nolenS
UOienS.
That's the way to say it. The best
way to carry through a measure which
has injustice stamped upon its face is to
present bold front, and the above declar-
alton would induce one to believe that our
Westmoreland friends have adopted this
course. This obviates the necessity of a
meeting of the Conferees to nominote a
Candidate for Congress. Alexander NJ
Kinney Esq. has been placed in nomina
ton by Westmoreland, and it is therefore

1Mr. S. S. Seely, editor of the Jersey
Republican, has the following squib in
relation to the Allegheny Portage Rail
Road:
"a few customers on the Allegheny
Portage Railroad will be attended to short
Iy. 1t is time, we think, to make a clean
sweep of the office holders on that Road,
for we do look upon them as Disgrace
to the State, and the sooner the change
the better"
We are happy in being able to congrat-
ulate our friend Seely upon the fact that
the work which he thinks so necessary
has already commenced in small way,
by the removal Of certain Car Captain,
and we trust that he will announce it to
his readers, and assure them at the same
time that, due regard to the best inte-
rests Of the people required the adoption
of this course, as the officer in question
was "disgrace TO the State" We do
not suppose for a moment that the ire of
Mr.. Seely against the Road, has been
occasioned by this very removal, or that
any personal considerations has led him
to the adoption of the course he seems
disposed to pursue. We believe him to
be above any thing of that kind, but we
confess that there is one thing connected
with this affair that strikes us as very SIM
gular-which is, that his great natural
sagacity did not enable him to discover
that the officers on the Road were ''dls-
grace to the State" until after the removal
of this very Car Captain had actually
been made. This is somewhat beyond
our comprehension, and we hope he will
explain the matter to the satisfaction OF
his friends, and enlighten them relative TO
the modus operandi by which revolution
in his mind has been so suddenly brought
about.

the north of it-show that we have only
family realized, as yet, the inevitable and
important results, which are to establish
this nation as without rival in CONNER
cial, and' consequently. in every other
greatness.
How far these commercial extensions
and eniargements will affect our moral
and political character, will be problem.
This is not so easily solved One thing,
however, seems certain--that it will be
impossible to restrain those tendencies to
the largest limit Of freedom, encouraged
by our institutions. New communitie.
will be likely to profit, in morals and pol
itics, by the experience of the past, and 10
perfect those systems which have caused
internal commotions in some of the old
States. May heaven grant, whatever be
the results, that the general prosperity
will only lead to the happiness of the
people at large, and to the common glory
of our common country.-N. Z. Herald.

useless for Bedford and Cambria to say
anything about it as she is determined to
elect her own man nolens volens.
We sincerely trust that for the credit of
old Westmoreland and the democratic
party, the idea conveyed by the above
paragraph is not seriously entertained by
any respectable portion of her citizens,
but is merely the bravado of an editor
who has permitted his feelings to get the
better of his judgment. We cannot be-
lieve that her hardy sons are disposed to
descend from that broad platform of truth
and justice upon which they have hereto
fore rested. For our part, if she gets .he
nomination in accordance with the estab
lished usages of the party, we will cordi-
ally and cheerfully support that nomina-
ton, although we believe that Cambria is
in Justice entitled to the man. Although
they may have the power to run and elect
her own man in opposition to the wishes
of the balance of the District, we feel con-
fident that high sense of justice and
honor will prevent her from pursuing
course so derogatory to the character she
has heretofore sustained. We shall have
more to say on this subject in short
time
