John w. Webster was executed az
Boston on the 30th dny of August. ac-
cording TO the sentence ofthe law. The
account says:
After Prof. Webster's family leit him
on Thursday night, in perfect uncon-
sciousness Of his coming fate. as he al
legged, he was searched and placed in
new cell in order to prevent the possi-
bility of suicide. From o. Clock till IL,
he passed in devotional conversation
with his watchers; at IL o'clcc. he wen |.
into a short doze, but did not sliced
heavily; he spoke of his impending fate
with iortitude and resignation, and SEEM
ed gratiied that the time of his death
had been kept from his family. At the
various noises ofthe opening Of a new
day he seemed somewhat agitated, but
soon recovered his composure. By ad.
vice he breaktasted on tea and bread,
and invited the watchers to partake with
him. He made preparations for ascend
ing the scaffold with frmness. About
3O persons were admitted to the Jail
yard; the housetops and windows ad-
joining the Jail were crowded with per-
sons, among whom were many ladies'
The stands near the Jail were also
crowded, but not densely. At 9o'clock
on Friday morning the last religious
ceremonies commenced with a formal
prayer. Jones was the officer who at
tended during the scene; he and Lagh-
ter treated the prisoner with the utmost
kindness. Thursday night, DR.. Putnam
remained more than two. hours with DR..
Webster, engaged in devotional exer-
cises. Webster conversed with the of
ticers; said he had had great fear at the
thought of being hung, but was now in
different to 1t; he was perfectly prepar-
ed to meet his fate. His appearance
confirmed the statement. His health
remained good and nc had net lost flesh
during his confinement but probably
gained.
The construction Of the gaIlows was
commenced after daylight, and COM
pleted before 9 o'clock. Upon tho re-
QUESTION of High Sheriff Eveleth,a force
OF l25 men, consisting of police and
watchmen, were detailed to keep guard
OF whom 25 were stationed within the
yard. The scaIold was in the centre Of
the yard, and the Witnesses invited were
admitted ten minutes before nine o'clock
Their names were called, and the busi-
ness stated by the sheriff they then
formed in column, two and two, and
visited the prisoners cell, where Dr.
Putnam offered prayer. The hall
leading to the cell was full. Stiffness
and solemnity prevailed. At twenty
minutes before ten O'Clock, high sheriff
Eveleth, attended by deputies Ledburp,
Rullett aud others, conducted Webster
to the scaffold. The last duty was then
performed He died without struggle.

also had occasion to examine the subject.
The Constitution provided, thai "the
House Of Representatives shall be com
posed of members chosen every second
year by the people Of the several
States" 1t was clear, then, that no one
except person chosen by the people of
the States could be member, or COM
ponent part of the House. a Delegate
was not d member; he was no compo-
nent part'ofthe House. If, then, il was
the privilege of a member to- make a
motion, could this House by rule---could
Congress- by law confer upon any per-
son not a member, the right to come
here and make motion? Ifthey could
do it With respect to Delegate, they
could with respect to any other person.
Could they by the rules Of the House,
or could Congress by law, open the
doors Of the House to fifty persons to
come here and make motions, Sup
pose he arose to address the House, and
the Speaker should announce to him
that Delegate from Territory or any
other person not a member, (for the
Constitution recognized no such thing
as Delegate, had moved the previous
question, and therefore he (Mr. d.

prived of the right secured to him by the
Constitution as Representative Of the

Mr.. Bayd moved the previous ques-

Mr.. Morse appealed to the gentleman
to withdraw the motion, to enable him t.
make some remarks.
Mr. Boyd declined to do so; remark
rg that it would be for the House to de-

bate 70 proceed
The previous question was seconded,
and the anain question was ordered.

The Poor Indian.

We Lave been highly gratified with
the porusal of the admirable speech of
Hon. II. II. SibIcy, delegate fom Min
nesota territory, one the subject of ''thc
Territories and our Indian relations, -
delivered in the House of Renresehta-
tives oni the 2d inst. 1t is ore Of the
few, of ;hc many speeches which have
been delivered IN that bady, this ses-
sion, of the most value to the country.
1t contal lns much that Is interesting, az -.
many wholesome truths which it is i'm
porant for the world to know. We shall
publish this speech, or at least that por-
ton of Ut which refers 10 the Indian
tribes of the Northwest, in our edition
of Tomorrow. We bespcak for ii the
careful attention Of our readers, trust
! ing that a new interest will be awakened
through. our country, III behalf Of this
long nc elected, down-trodden, aud base
ly persetuted race
Mr.. Slbley has lived amongst the In
dians at the Northwest, the best part of
his life, and by long association has be-
come familiar with all their traits of
character, and feels lively interest in
whateyer pertains to their welfare. -
Their wants, and the means necessary
to supply them advantas seously, together
with thq true policy to be pursued by
the government towards them. In order
that the' efforts of phianthropsts may
be effective, no one, perhaps, is better
able TO explain. d..
Mr.. S,bley concludes that the first
step to lie taken IN order L. civiIze and
chrlstlanize the Indian, Is to win lis
confidence By dealing justly with hm.
Indeed, this rule is the only one to be
followed: in civilized society with the
hope of: success, if we would win tie
affections Of our feilow-men. With
how much the more religious care should
it be observed when dealing with the
savage one who POSSESSES none
of the light which education rours in,
and wh', has not been nurscd in the
lap Of Christianity. To this end Mr..
Sibley proposes that the present mode
ofstreating with the Indian bv govern
ment shpuld be abolished, and IN thcr
;net;tuiaa .Srch .s would conyince 81;
CORRESPONDS with the theory. The case
being row far different in the eve Of the
Indian-I-he is led to distrust the sinceri-
ty of good men, who come 10 him for
the purpose Of teaching the religion q
the white man. This should not be the
case. The Indian is helpless in himself,
and we are powerful people, and can
afford TO be just to such an one; al
though; in times past we may not have
