IIOrrid Murder !

Doct WEBSTER, an old man whose natural
term of existence was near its close, was ruth
lessly seized upon by several well-dressed and
highly respectable individuals, and iuhumanly
choked to death, on Friday last in the presence of
select few of the arstocracy of Boston, and a
delighted rabble upon the house-lops in the Vi
cinity. All engaged in the murder expressed
the greatest sympathy for the victim, and even a
clergyman present cared to invoke the blessing
of God on the unnatural proceeding. The ex-
cuse given for this murder is, that another had
been previously comnitted,-though under cir.
cumstances much less revolving TO our mind
that having been committed in the heat of pas.
sion, this by cool Fermentation.

FRIEND HyER:
| Among the many newspaper controversies of
the day, have noticed slight collision between
the Democrat of Waukesha and the Free Dem
ocr0t OF milwaukee, in relation to myself, as ap-
| pears in the following paragraph, published bv
the first named paper OF the l4th inst.
| "Mr. Durkec was candidate, and we know
of his having visited Milwaukee, before the hold.
ing of the Convention by which he was nomin-
ated, and consulted there with individuals in
relation to the matter, and he will not depy the
fact"
| Allow me to say, sir, that you have been mis-
informed. | have no recollection of consulting
or advising, with any person in Milwaukee, or at
any other place, with view Of bringing my name
before the Convention from which received the
nomination.
But on the contrary do distinctly remember
that, short time previous to my nomination,
was Intercepted on this subject by Mr. Willard
of Rochester and DR.. Bourne of Bristol (dele-
gates tothe Convention) when told them frank
ly that was not a candidate. And will here
remark that have no recollection lever during
my iife:) of having solicited any person not even
my most intimate friends to recommend my name
for office, either before Convention, or the peo-
| pie 10 any form.

Oh this topic, however, trust you will not deem
it an unfit occasion for me to trespass upon your
patience, and your columns, little further, in
expressing my strong aversion to practice that
has become prevalent in many of the States-
mean that OF Gentlemen, ambitious of political
distinction, canvassng their districts for the pur-
pose of securing delegation pledged to their
support. This practice when the aspirant Sc
cures majority of the delegates suited to his
own wishes, utterly destroys the republican prn-
ciple-especiay where there are but two pot-
ical parties, and the one of which he is mem
Der requires each Of its members to support the
nominee, or be disfranchsed. 1t must BE- obvi
GUS to the most superficial mind, that all the sub
segment proceedings in Convention, and in atten-
ding the polls on the day of election, after a del
eegatlon is thus packed, are merely matters OF
| form.
What is called the "choice of the people," is
nothing but farce, in derogation both of Justice
and common sense. 1t seems to me that the
time has arrived when the people are fully pre-
pared to break away from such an abuse of the
Convention system, and rid themselves Of this
most degrading kind of slavery! The people are
intelligent and patriotic and especially is this

u There appears TO be some doubt whether
the gentlemen who have called the county demo.
cratic convention, have proper authority to per-
form that duty. We are assured by those who
had every means of knowing, that these gentle
men. vino were appointed some time since, were
superseded by the appointment of new commit
tee, by the Democratic Convention, held at Dud-
ley Cass' last spring. We shall publ sh the call
when the authority is settled.
