very Standard Edmund Quincy )writes of DR.. Web
ster as follows
| have heard from good authority that poor DR..
Webster, who is now awaiting the same horrid end
had taste in his YOUTH like the famous George Sell
wyn, for going to executions, and that when he was
IN London, near forty years ago, when the Hospital
BILE Sherifs used almost every Monday to send their
friends this notice, 'Hang eight breakfast at nine
he very seldom missed one Of those hebdomada en-
tertainments. recoect his giving me, when ! was
in college, ticket ofadmssion to the very Jail where
ne now hes, to witness the execution Of one Colson,
for the murder of Captain Selfridge son of the man
that shot Austin on State street about forty years ago
The object oft invitation was to admit me to se
his galvlnlc experiments on the body But had
not the pluck to go, and gave the ticket to less
squeamlsh class-ipate. How strange it would have
sounded to him that day. if some prophet could have
foretold to him that he himself would end his life by
the same violence, on that very spot

SLAVE EMrGRATIoN TO CALIFORNIA. The
steamer Commodore Stockton is advertised to sail
shortly from Charleston for California with a num-
Der of Southern gentlemen, accompanied by their
slaves. 1t IS represented that this association will
be formidable in numbers and in influence. The
jackson Mssissppian asserts that $4,000 slaves will
be sent to California before the expiration Of this
year, if the measure before Congress to admit Cali
iornla can be repudiated by that body'' 1t thinks
that IN case this enterprise is successful the value Of
slaves at home will be greatly enhanced.

- J. G. Whittier, in an article upon New Mex
leo and its population, audes to the opposition which
has been manifested against her admissionas State
by the Southern propagandists and their Northern
allies on the ground that her people are not yet fit to
exercise the rights Of self government. He then
quotes from competent authority to show that most
of the mixed population of New Mexico are indus
trlous, peaceable, and kind-hearted. The popuIa-
ton is estimated at sO000,o whom IL, 900 are Az
tees, the best farmers in New Mexico The Pueblo
Indians, Col. Emory pronounces the best and most
peaceabe of her citizens. The Mexican or Spanish
part of the population, though having few books and
no newspapers, care by no means deficient in the
rudlments of education. Many of the old landed
proprietors are wealthy, living in style of rude
magnifcence. Their sons are educated in the Unit
ed States or Mexico.'' Mr.. W. then contrasts such
a population with our foreign immigration:
s'Every year the tide of emigration, setting to-
wards us from the old world, brings TO our shores
the poor the ignorant and vicious, in numbers far
greater than the entire popaiation of New Mexico
These are incorporated into our body polite, and ii
the new States and Territories speedily become vot
ers. We would moi, if we could, close our doors
against them and refuse them asylum on our broat
territory. But who would not prefer to the refuse
and squald overpus of crowded European cities anS
the annual disgorgements of their jails and work
houses the quiet, home-oving and pastoral people
New Mexico, who, for the last quarter of centur,
have exercised the rights of citizens of a republic
and whose insulated position, if has deprived then
in some measure of the benefits of the general pro
gress of civilizations has at the same time preserve,
them from of the worst vices which that civil
ization has carried in its tran?''
