WssHrseToN, May u. d.
After consuming The morning hours on amend
ments 10 the Census bill, Mr.. w MOT asked tina,
the Committee OF the Whole take up the con.
sidera'ion OF the California message, TO enable
him 10 make few remarks. BY unanimous con-
sent, the Census bill was then laid aside and The
message taken up. The members drew around
Mr.. w NOT, and the confusion which prevailed
subsidized into respectful attention.
| Mr.. WIZ OF then said, that debate on the sub
ject Of California, and the great questions con-
cerned with it, had in his judgment produced won
derful results. The settled and fsed purpose Of
Southern men had been discovered, and there
was no doubt as 10 the termination Of the con
aict: il was to extend slavery over territories
II there was any room for doubt heretofore,
there was doubt no longer. There was no qpes-
ton more frausht with consequences than the
ultimate decision OF that now in hand, and which
Southern potion OF the count y; and it will set
tie another question, viz: whether the govern
ment is 10 be administered in the spirit which
gave il birth, or whether an aristocracy, based
on slave property and slave representation, shalt
control il in this aspect. 1t has been received By
the south on the pat Of southern men, boz derng
almost on madness. They are bound BY no
sacred ties 10 the Onion, blu, banded together as
one man, for the accomplishment Of their object.
and that is the perpetuity Of slavery. There is no
disguise in this. The existence Of the Union,
and the stability Of the government, is threatened
by the south, and in his judgment their spirit
Of threatening and defiance must be resisted, or
the people Of the north must be the greatest Of
slaves. What, he asked, shall the line Of our
duty be prescribed, under the pressure OF treason
able threats! Shall we be told what we shall or
shall not do, at The peril Of the existence Of the
government itself? II We submit 10 this any
longer, our freedom here and the fundamental
principles Of the constitution are undermined.

The Webster trial and conviction.

We believe that it may be safely said that the
extent and unanmty of public dissatisfaction,
on account of the conviction of Prof. Webster
for the murder Of Dr.Parkmans on the testimony
are without 4 parallel. We of course have ref
erence to public opinion as represented by the
press-,nd we are satisfied that no better index
Of that opinion exists. The charge of Judge
SHAW, and the verdict Of the Jury, are received
literally from on. end Of the Union to the other
(vth inconsIerabe exception,) with profound
establishment, All generally with strong rep
rotation. Oar readers arc we'll aware that our
opinion is, that both the charge and the verdict
are ltbe to the grIvest criticism. Without
pretending to say that Prof. Webster is not gull
~ Of the awful crime of which he has been con-
victed, we say now, rs we have said before,
that he Ias not been proved guilty, beyond that
Reasonable doubt which the Law humlHtly
allows, for he protection of those who are ac.
cusad, against the frequently strong and mex
plcable force of 'circnm 'tlutial evidence. -
The history of the BcURNE3, in oar own STATE,
should be 4 sufficient warning against rushing
hastily to the conclusions to which circum.
s,ana evidence " seems to point. These men
re tried convicted and hung (5y intention of
| law, if not in fac,) for murder that was NEVER
COMMITTED. The murdered man turned up,
alive AMI WELL" Notwithstanding his bones
teeth, clothes, and, for aught we know, his
=. muilatcd remains" were found and brought
into court to confront his alleged murderers !

test OF this opinion, however, was to be looked

rived in the Stony Brook train from Lowell, 1t
was the first passenger tram in. Tho gentle

ducing me to the hoUeitieS of Grotor. The first,
was the exclusive depot, covering nearly an
acre of ground, planned by the able engineer OF
the Fltchburg railroad, Mr., FELTON,. This bull
ding is 80 feet long, 50 feet wide, supported
by massive iron pillars, and inlain with fonl
railroad tracks. These tracks are for the &C
commodation of the up and down trains of the
Fitchburg road, the trains of the Stony Brood
and Peterboro' and Shirley roads. At the hea,
of the depot are two tracks of the Worceste
and Nashua road, crossing the tracks of tn,
fitchburg road at right angles
