FATE or DR., WEBsTER.--A Boston let

Philadelphia Bulletin, has the following
statements respecting the position and

ed of the murder of Doctor Parkman.-
have been careful to elicit the true
sense oflhe people of Boston in reference
TO DR.. Webster, aad the opinion that he
will he executed. is very general. This
opinion is growing stronger, perhaps
ought to say is ripening into desire that
he should be executed; first. because of
the strong movements made in New York
and Philadelphia, by the papers and by
petition, intended, as they believe to force
Massachusetts to protect his own life a.
gainst her own judgment, and in defiance
Of her own private rights in the case; sec.
ondly because tor years past the sentiment
had prevailed that capital punishmet
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 deci-
ded frmness in the decisions off jures aud
in the executions. To all this may be ad.
ded the fact that the Governor has not The
powerto pardon without the concurrence
Of his council; and il is believed this
could not be obtained even if his excel
lency wished to pardon or commute. But
il is believed that he does not.

NEw ME&Ico.- The Recent Increment.
The late turn of affairs in the territory
of New Mexico, the Convention and a.
doptlUh of Constitution. has given rise
I'd an expression of a great variety OF o.
pihion and caused some excitement, es-
pecIally among those who claim that ter
ritory for Slavery.
The Washington Union assails the
m0vemeht as the result of executive
interference"-the Southern Press thinks
the proceeding portends tragedy" and
considers il no "evidence of the popular
will" in New MexicO-the Southern ul.
tros are in a rage-the Texan members
especially are ferocious and threaten
arms upon the part Of that State--while
the Tribune is particularly rejoiced at
the prohibition of slavery.
Now all this is little too early. IT.,
as the delegate from New Mexico asserts,
the territory contains sufficient pnpula.
ton for State, we imagine that no pow.
er has the right to reject her application
for admission into the Union. If those
individuals, who brought upon US the
War with Mexico. do not find things re.
sultingas they might wish, if it has not
extended slavery as was expected. they
have none to blame but themselves, and
can console themselves with the rehec
ticn that Calhoun's "balance Of power"
has been further destroyed by those who
were anxious for more territory.
