CASE OF PROFESSOR WEBsTER.-The Bos-
ton correspondent of the Philadelphia Bulletin
says-aI have been careful to elicit the true
sense of the people of Boston in reference to
DR.. Webster, and find that the conviction of
his guilt is universal; 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 exc
cuted; first, because of the strong movements
made in New York and in Philadelphia, by the
papers and by petitions intended, as they be-
leve, to force Massachusetts to protect his life
against her own judgment, and in defiance of
her own private rights in the case: secondly,
because for years pasfthe sentiment has pre-
vailed that capital punishment ought never to
be inflicted; and it is now generally believed
that this opinion has emboldened the murderer,
and for the last few years there has been more
decided frmness in the decisions of juries in
the executions. To all this may be added the
fact that the Governor has not the power to
pardon, without the concurrence of his Council
and it is believed this could not be obtained
even if his Excellency wished 10 pardon or
commute. But it is believed that he does not

writing some questions moved more than a

FRANcE-The critical condition of affairs
in France is thus described in recent letter
from Paris, written by Robert Walsh, Esq, to
the New York Journal Of Commerce:
At present, as lively sense Of Insecurity
as general an apprehension of sanguninary
strugge-and as much hostile preparation on
the side of the democratic parties and on that
Of the Government, are to be remarked as at
any period within the twenty years past. The
bill about to be reported for altering and eur
failing the law of universal suffrage, is the oc-
casion for this extreme turmoil and danger; but
the real causes are deeper and broader, and
must speedily have induced the same state of
things. No party is content with the consti-
tuition. s 49,. I

W Inc washington hepuDllc IN one OF its
leaders tells this story: fa@ @ :
Many years since, as we have been told, there
was an editor of 3 we'll known paper in one of
our cities who figured as a notorious, reckless
and unscrupulous partizan, and who acted upon
the principle that the end justified the means,
and that falsehood, boldly asserted and un-
blushingly and untiringly persevered in, was,
friend Of his said, on certain occasion, to
have remarked to him that ahe was doing him
self and party great injury by the many false
statements and charges made in, his paper from
day to day against his political opponents,
which they SO readily refuted and disposed Of
that it was fast destroying the moral tone and
efficiency. Of his paper, and that unless the
practice was discontinued it would certainly
end in lasting injury to himself and ruin to his
journal" To which friendly and sensible sug-
gestions the editor above alluded to is reported
to have replied as follows. without having his
,equanimity rufled in the slightest degree.
'sSir, you are greatly mistaken. make
great deal Of party capital in my tactics l
make charges boldly, and with a degree of cir
cumstantialHy that gives to them the SEM
blance of truth, and puts my adyersaries on
the defensive, where it is always my policy to
keep them; and though they may vindicate
themselves successfully where their own pa
pers circulate, yet their vindication, however
ample and conclusive, never reach q twentieth
part Of those who read my paper, or the papers
that copy from mine; and my charges, there
fore, remain good, and are credited by those
who read no refutation of them. vi ssss4
