DR.. WEBsTER's CONVICTION.

We express the sentiment of every one with whom we
have conVersed on the subject in saying that we are
shocked at the verdict rendered by the jury in the trial
Of DR.. Webster for the murder OF DR. Parkman Form
ing opinion entirely from the evidence as repored to
us through the Boston papers, came to the concIu
sion only that there not sufficient proof to sus
tain verdict, but that the prisoner actually limo
cent OF the crime imputed to him, and the victim Of
horrible imposition. We cannot conceive how anv
jury could Ind him guilty of murder in the first degree
after rejecting upon the evidence of his natural demea
nour while spending a. the house of neighbour the
evening of the very day which the ALLEGED murder
was committed; upon his department at home, as de-
picted by the eloquenty simple narratives of his three
daughters upon the implication of Lttlefeld in false

,ster's habit in regard to locking himself up while
en ged in chemical Investigations and finally, upon
the direct testimony of number of witnesses that Dr.
Parkman was seen Boston after the hour when he visit
ed Dr. Webster at the College, We are surprised to see
that Mr. Merrick one OF the counsel for the prisoner mi
his argument before the jury almost invited them to conf
vict him of manslaughter instead of murder This was
admitting the killing, and the concealment and attempt
ed destruction of the body sufficient to carry the
Inference of malice aforethought This speech causes
us to doubt Dr. Websers innocence far more than the
Testimony against him.

MR.. CALHOUN.

The death Of the Hon. JOHN C. CALHOUN, of which
our readers were informed by Geographic despatch
published in paper Of yesterday morning. is an event
that must make deep and solemn impression upon the
public mind. He was statesman far above the com
order OF politicians, and it s not probable that our
country will another like him in all the peculi-
sres of his intellectual and moral character His great
abilities have been universally acknowledged and their
influence upon the OF public affairs, form
prominent theme in the history of our government for at
least third of the present century. His private life has
always been said and we believe with truth to be
proachable His political while he lived, and
must be hereafter the subject of widely various opinions
We cannot profess that admire his states
man neither shall affirm that he was not patriot
II has heen well said of his mind first, we think by
Mr. Webster) that its great characteristic intensity
To that quality may perhaps be attributed the general
extremeness OF his views and their remarkable ncon
sstency.
The position recently taken by Mr.. Calhoun in the
sectional controversy which unhappiy exists in the
Union, renders his demise peculiarly important 1t is
we'll known that about him were gathering Southern
party, not yet definitely organized, who would have
sustained the views which he rather foreshadowed than
actually announced, in his late speech in the Senate
According to understanding of that remarkable dis
course its great proposition was, that the present iede
raj constitution is insufficient TO protect the Southern
States from gevous oppression 1t was the necessary
conclusion from this proposition that those Statesshoud
demand amendment of the constitution which would
afford them satisfactory guarantees, and Mr. Calhoun
accordingly suggested such an amendment OF
the conditions necessary to the preservation othe Union
But when it was inquired whether he to say that
if the amendment should not be granted by the North
ne would advocate dissolution, he answered that he did
not say the amendment should be insisted on no,v tus
seeming TO postpone to future day demand on theI
part OF the South which he considered indispensable o
its security, and which, all must admit it could make
efficiently the present time than hereafter He
seemed to therefore only to take extreme ground
but to maintain very nadequately 1t is understood
that during his sickness, he dcatinga second ad
dress the Senate, in further explanation of his views
1t is much to be desired for the illustration of the as
acts of his e that this exposition may prove to have
been completed. But, with whatever ability he mayI
have indicated his opinions there be little doubt
that, as he the thinking soul of that body OF po-
htca admirers who ready to follow him to any
conclusion, however momenous, their vitality as party
is dead with him.

A CHALLENGE-Ye sterday morning, at quite an early
hour coloured man, named Spencer, repaired to the
margin of river net in hand for the purpose of catch
ing fish, The morning being cool, and the fish not
being easily obtained, Spencer, in not very amable
mood, continued to ply his skim net, until interrupted
by spectator above on Mayo's Bridge, who asked va
rous aggravang questions, touching luck, &c, and
finally wound up by offering to bet S. to 10 cents that
Spencer could not catch fish This riled the fisher
man, who thereupon replied pretty tary to his
tor After mutually exchanging the compliments OF the
morning, the man the Bridge dared the fisherman to
an encounter When nearly up to each other the
antagonist pulled out a pistol, remarking
that he had brace, and should insist upon settlement
OF the difficulty after the approved modes of ho-
nourable warfare AT the sight of the pistol Spencer
took to his heels, raised hue and cry and caused his
antagonist to be arrested by officer WiIkerson The
duelist was brought before the Mayor, and proved to
