Professor webster.

Z II will be seen, by reference to our tele-
hphic head, that Professor WEBSTER was
terday sentenced lat BOSTON, TO be
hged at such time as the Governor of
Massachusetts may hereafter appoint. The
judgment of the country, we think, &C
quiesces in the verdict by which he has
been found guilty Of the murder of DR..
PARKMAN. The affirmative circumstantial
evidence of his guilt might have been got
along with by the jury-but the absence
of all explanation of circumstances which
innocence might have explained, could
not fail to remove all reasonable doubt of
his criminality.
We observe in some Of our exchange
papers free criticisms on the course pur-
sued by DR.. WEBsTER's counsel, and par
ticularly on the opening speech of Mr..
SoHIER. 1t is probable that those who
censure hardly appreciate the difficulties
under which any counsel must have la
bored in such a cause. From what is
known, it would seem that eminent coun-
sci, who took an early and deep interest
in the Professors fate, failed to appear in
his defence. There can be little doubt
that the very able and experienced law
yers, to whose hands his cause was finally
committed, were oppressed with the GER
tain knowledge Of his guilt, and did not
feel called upon Gf it had been possible)
to accuse or direct suspicion towards limo
cent parties, with the view of saving their
client.

DELAY OF THE FoREIes MAILs.-Thc mails from

which was not only unsurpassed but unequalcd in

"DEAR SIN: Your letter Of the Goth instant 10
duly received, making inquiry in relation 10 the
delay in forwarding portion Of your foreign mail
matter, by the recent steamer from Liverpool:
'The mails by the Niagara packet, containing
vast amount Of correspondence for all parts Of the
United States, received at this Office at 4.06,
p. m, on last Saturday Az 8, p. m, the southern
train leaves the depot in this city. We had but
just time enough TO throw To tho mail wagon
the matter which happened to be at hand, and pre-
parcd-whch consisted Of the entire New York
mails, and the English matter for Philadelphia and
Baltimoro-and Of these we had no time 20 take
account, but had TO depend upon the Offices to
which the matter sent TO furnish us with bills.
Instead Of feeling that we subject TO reproach
for any delay, we felt gratifed TO have done so
much in so short time.
"when the steamer arrives on Saturday, in suf
fcicnt season to send forward the New York mails
by the D. m. train instructions do not authorize
US TO send the rest of the matter by express II
remains here until the morning mail Of Monday.

HThe Johnstown Echo, aitemps

wThe Johnstown Echo, attemps 10
call in question our democracy, and threat
ems to make our position known to the
people. As we have never attempted ito
conceal our conduct, we disregard all such
threats, and as for our democracy, we have
the consolation of knowing that we have
never deviated from strict democratic
principles, or wavered in our support oi
democrtic men and measures. We DO not
think that there is single man connected
with the Echo clique who, having due
regard for veracity, can say as much IN
behalf of himself. 1t looks very ridicu-
lous for such a set of men as control the
Echo to attemp: to lecture any one on his
democracy, as it is well known that they
have never voted the democratic ticket un-
| less 1t suited their own peculiar views, or
unless they had an eye single TO the al
mighty dollar.
We never voted against the democratic
party, because we were disappointed in
retaining fat Office, and never election
eered against democratic candidate for
State Senate until the day of the election
and then voted for him in order 10 keep
up appearances. We never supported
regular democratic nomination in public
and privately, and afterwards made the
most tremendous exertions 10 elect the
whig candidate, because he happened to
be our relation, nor did we ever sell our
county in the matter of high office, in
order that we might come in for sweep
stakes at the next term. We never voted
for James Nj. Power for Canal Commits
sioner, expecting that his brother would
be appointed Superintendent, and that we
might get the situation of Clerk, in order
that we might get rich in a manner best
known TO ourself, and when kicked out of
office endeavor to breed dissension In the
party to which we are indebted for mary
favors. We have never been guilty of any
of these political sins, but we know that
they have been done by men who wish
to be considered leaders in the ranks Of
democracy, and who are now disposed to
lecture us on our democracy. We are
confident in the rectitude of our own
course and rely upon the true and unde-
filed democracy of the county to sustain
us.

Melancholy Accident,

A fatal accident occurred on the Portage
Railroad, near the Tunnell, on Saturday
evening last, by which a. Mr.. Sanford, OF
Erie county, Pa, who has been for some
time engaged in peddling stoves through
this section of country was so seriously
injured that he died in few hours. He
was seated on the tender of the locomo-
I've that was towing the passengers, when
from some unknown cause, the tender got
of the track, and in attempting to save
himself by jumping off, he fell under the
cars. The train passed over both his
legs, mangling them in horrible manner.
Had he remained on the tender, he would
have sustained no injury. His remains
we're taken to Hollidaysburg for inter-
ment.

uDuring the session of the Congress
slonal Conference in Johnstown, propo-
sitions were made by prominent citizens
to several of the leaders among the disor-
ganizers TO the effect that if they would
go in for the admission of the second set
of Conferees from this county, they would
support any Cambria co unity man for
Congress whom they might designate,
other than Gen. M'Donald. We merely
mention the fact at this time, because we
learn that attempts are being made to deny
it in Johnstown, and we appeal TO John
Matthews, Esq. and Sheriff Patterson as
to the truth of our assertion. Several
other propositions were made which if
they had been acceded to would have re-
suited in the choice of Cambria county
man, the fact of which we are prepared
to establish by the proper certificates, but
the crowded state of our columns prevents
US from doing so at this time.

HALIFAX TEL. OFFICE, July Is, A. M.
The steamship America arrived off the
harbor last night, but she did not reach

dense fog, which prevailed.

Sunday noon, 30th uIt., and sailed on the

The growing crops of grain through
out the kingdom continue promising,
though the harvest may be later than the
average oflthe season.
The sudden and violent death of Sir
Robert Peel, caused a great sensation in
Eng land and France. The English pa
pers are filled, almost to the exclusion of
everything else, with extended notices OF
the life and character of the late Premier,
and with speculations as TO the effect his
death will have upon the politics of his
country. The particulars of his death
are thus stated: On Saturday evening,
June 20. whilst proceeding from his resi-
dence in Whitehall up Constitution Hill,
his horse suddenly shed at something
passing, kicked up his heels, and threw
Sir Robert over his had on his face. AL
though rendered insensible by the fall,
Sir Robert retained hold Of the reins; and
the animal being thus checked, lost his
lootIng, and fell heavily upon the top of
the baronet. Several gentlemen passing,

Of appropriations submitted Congress the first OF the
session, and printed before Congress assembled
We answer at once The Committee OF Ways and
Means could not act upon the annual estimate Of APP
preparations submitted to Congress at the first Of
the session. and printed before Congress assembled,
because il never referred to that committee.
II 1t should ask further, why it had not been re-
fered, we answer: Because there has been no time
when it could be done, except by unanimous consent
which, in the present House. where majority for
anything, SO hard TO obtain, would seem not to be
very aainable Yet. in one instance, at least it has
been obtained, to facilitate action upon measure which
the administration has at heart and yet in the teeth Of it.
the democrats denounced factous opponents And
the estimate had been referred. everybody knows that
the committee could not have acted upon il by them
selves.
We have thus exposed the injustice Of the attacks
to which we have referred. They are made by the
immediate organs Of the administration And il will be
for them TO decide whether be expected that such
course OF beraliy the part Of its opponents as we
have referred to is likely to continue, if il is to be re-
Quilted by the Misrepresentation and deiraction OF those
who speak for il.
