The Two Conventions.

A correspondent Of the Baltimore Sun

a Convention next June in Buffalo, as

tween these two places, tho two assem-
blages can inAame each other TO very

greatest curses of the age. Received at

Thatif the negro-thieves and white tyrants
of the North, and runaway negroes, now
assembled at Buffalo, will come here, we

Buren,, That the bloody-thirsty negro-drl-

Douglass, Runaway nig.) Resolved, That
white negroes are better suited to the me-
NAL drudgeries of life than the genteel
blacks from Africa. And on motion OF
Abby Kelly, Resolved unanimously, that
black was the original colour of our first
parents before their fall, and that black
greasy skin, set off with woolly head
and thick lips, is the most lovely object in
nature, and that we deplore from the bot
tom Of our hearts the bleaching process
practised at the South and North, by which
the lustre of the black race has been tar

THE fair mover proGaced the resolu-
ton with the remark, tina; it was her In

Our Agricultural Society

The proceedings on Saturday last Of
this interesting association will be found
in another place in to-day's paper. We
believe the occasion was a gratifying one
to all present, for evidence was not want
ing of the good effects 10 be justly anlici-
patcd from such an Institution. The
members would have it understood that
their Society bears the name OF North JEFF
ferson, simply because they feel that the
centre ofits operations not being the Coun-
ty Seat, it would have been too much to
have assumed an unqualified county name.
Their decided hope is however, that ere
long, County Society might be formed,
with which it would crafty them to coop
crate in the attainment Of all the good OBJ
jects proposed in the establishment Of
such Institutions.
Every farmer and every other person
feeling an interest IN the advancement OF
agriculture and household economy,
should lend helping hand to this Socie-
ty, without hesitation or delay.

The Boston Tragedy.
.4rrai gnment of Prof. Webster.

u y
Prof. Webster, indicted for the murder
of DIR. Parkman, was arralgned on Satur-
dav in the Supreme Judicial Court, at
Boston. The Journal says:
At the opening of the Court, the At'oT-
new General, Hon. John IL. Clifford, ad-
dressed the Court as follows: m
"Mav it please your ,Honor-ihe
Grand Jury of this County presented an
indictment at the last term OF the NUM-
cipal Court against John w. Webster the
prisoner at the bar, for the crime OF muir
der, and by a provision of the Revised
Stames. that indictment has been certified
M 10 this Court. Inow move your Hon,
or, that the prisoner may be arralgned
upon that Indictment.
The Clerk then called upon the prs
oner to stand up, and hold up his r,sht
hand, and harken to the Indictment lie
prisoner, during the reading OF the ilrS'
part of the indictment, manifested con'ld-
cradle emotion, evidently making an ell
fort to stand perfectly firm. In reading
the first count of the Indictment, where II
describes the manner Of inhicung the NOR,
tai wounds, just as the Clerk pronounced
the words" with certain knife when ne
then and there in his right hand had and
held" &C., the prisoner let his rlgh hand
fall and rest upon the railing in front Of
him. where it remained until the reading
was finished.
AT the close of the reading of the ndlct
ment, the Clerk asked" John W. Web
ster, what say you to this Indictment
are you guilty or not guilty - 10 wmcl
the prisoner replied in clear ana dlS
tinct voice, " am not guilty, sir Ih'
Court then inquired of the prisoner II ne
had any counsel engaged to assist HIM II
his defence to which the prisoner res
ponded, &" have your Honor, Mr.. SOME
and Judge Merrick."
The Court then inquired of Mr.. Sohler
and of the Attorney General, if they ha'
any particular wish as to the time Tor TIT
trial. Both the council stated that l
would be desirable to have the time of trla
fixed for as early day as possible, anl
that they wonId be ready at such time al
the Court might direct.
Judge Fletcher then stated that he wa
directed by the Court, if no objection wa
made blythe defendant, to assign Tuesday
the nineteenth day of March next, as TIT
day for the trial of this case. 10 this 'h'
counsel for the deGendent replied that the!
would be ready at that time, The PTls
oncr was then remanded. So that dal
was assigned for the commencement o
the trial of this important case. The gen
eral appearance of the prisoner was muci
the same as before his arrest. DurlnI

members of the bar, friends OF the prisoner
and several physicians and gentlemen o
other profession swere present.

Constltuuon - DIS ldr as possible non.
committaI, carrying with it an air of indo
cision and reluctance on the topic of Sl,.
very quite evident and notable. The Iond
complaints made of disregard of the Con.
s,ilu,ion by Gen'l Taylor are not really
of the Constitution, but of The Constitution
as interpreted by ultraists. The spiri,
and temper ofthe Constitution are remark.
ably coincident with the Generals whole
policy.
The motives under Which Gent Taylor
has acted are all honorable, patriotic and
defensiblc. He would estrange none, but
seek the welfare and the peace Of all. lie
sees no necessity for panderng to the
pride of these or the (anaiical ardor of
those he looks 10 practical end and
takes the very best ard surest road to at
tain it.
As 10 the charge Of his alleged interfc-
renee with the people of California, the
thing is ludicrous. What should prevent
him from constitutionally expressing pn'
vately any sort of opinions, which as a
private man, he might entertain! The
people of California might choose TO listen
to him or not, as they please. Ii lies
wholly with them. The attempt TO con-
troll the President in this way is simply
an invasion Of his rights as citizen, guar
antied to him as to us and every body else
by the Constitution.
There has never yet been President
or State Executive of whom II can be
said that he never privately exchanged
opinions on subjects of interest arising DID,
ring his term OF authority. The effort,
therefore, to restrict Gen'l Taylor from
right so complete, so obvious and so uni
ver,ally enjoyed, is but another instance
Of the unrelenting bitterness with which
his opponents have undertaken to assail
him.
We are, ourselves, inclined strongly TO
those views of the powers Of Congress de-
vcloped lately by Gent Cass, and of the
RIGHTS of the citizen to hold securely any
property Slaves included) any where,
where the rights of citizen under the
Constitution are not limited by State or
Municipal law, as promulgated by Mr..
Senator Berrien. But we feel these fun.
damental views sorely invaded by two
things, viz: the Missouri Compromise,
and the Wilmot Proviso included in the
Bill organizing Territorial government
in Oregon, which met the appreciation Of
the late Executive, Mr.. Polk. Can any
thing be palmer than that these two meas
ures have yielded the whole question, as
question of constitutional right and law !
! If Congress has power TO enact these, 1t
would seem that the whole question ha,
been conceded. Hence the greater CON-
plication of the matter as it fell into Gen'l
Taylor's hands, and hence comes out not
mere justification, but positive merlton-
business which it will not be long ere the
whole Union will accord 10 the motives of
the President. Why should he wish TO
do wrong! What temptation has he
None in the world, and his foes will find
that all their splenetic assaults will recoil
with tenfold violence upon their own
heads. The inevitable law of Retribution
must have its work upon them and upon
him for him the confidence of the people,
for !hcm public exposure and contempt.
