The election for Mayor, Common Council, &C..

CoSNEorIcUT.-The Locofocos have a plurality

Several Senators, on both Sides are chosen by less

The House is not yet fully ascertained. but is

The Wing candidate had subscribed toward pay

II was taking the horns, we suspect, bull or no

From the Boston Transcript.

Ma. WEBsTER.-We publish below an address to
Mr.. Webster which appears in the Advertiser and
Courier of this morning, and is subscribed by some
nine hundred of the most respected and Influential
citizens of this city. If the fact had been made
generally known that such an address was open for
signatures, hundreds of additional names of not in
fcrior weight could probably have been obtained
II is true that the names of some who were lately
among the leaders and organs of the Wing party
in Boston wanting; yet their absence is sup
piled by new and not less powerful friends. Among
the sgners several of the professors of the The
illogical Seminary at Andover, and the President
of Harvard University. The lamented Samuel T.
Armstrong died on the day after he had subscribed
the address.
II must be gratifying to Mr.. Webster to receive
such testimonial as this, in which all that our
community boast of intelligence, enterprise
activity in affairs, moral and intellectual worth
is amply represented. II must convince him thai
whatever honest differences of opinion may exis
among his Wing friends in this quarter, and how.
some may question his conclusions, he is pow.
erfully sustained by large and influential major
ity who conscientiously believe that the path which
he has pointed out TO us is the "path of duty"
The doctrine that we must consult power higher
than the Constitution in regard TO the rights Of tn,
southern States, however il may captivate in tn,
abstract. must be obviously ruinous in its practica
application. The last words of Mr.. Calhoun in the
Senate Of the United States were protest against
IL; and we are yet to learn If there is single
southern man Of any influence who viii not con-
in that protest OF the South Carolina statesman
Al great crisis in our affairs, Mr.. Webster steps
forth 10 tell MS what constitutional duties
not what are moral religious duties indie
pendent Of all law-but what are the duties which
- n
iegiance TO the government under which live
Whatever doubts may entertain as to the con.
clusiveness Of his decision, we cannot see how any
good citizen can join in the abuse which has beer
and continues To be showered upon him for tn,
avowal of his constitutional opinions

THE SPEECH or Mn. wEBsTER.-we have here
tofore taken occasion TO say that the opinions ex.
pressed by Mr.. Webster, in his great exposition OF
his sentiments upon national subjects few weeks
ago, would be supported by the people Of New Eng.
land The opinion that he would be thus sup
ported has been controverted in quarters, but
we are glad TO find that we're not mistaken.
We are able TO publish to day letter to Mr.. Web
ster, signed by some eight hundred citizens Of Bos-
ton and its vicinity, approving Of his course, and
endorsing his opinions
To Boston people Il would be idle for US to
attempt TO point out how well the signers Of this
letter represent the beet part Of our community.
To readers out Of the city Il may be well to say.
that public man could have or could ask better
set Of retsincrs. No one who knows Boston will
AJAX better rebuke than this letter affords 10 the
recent abolition meeting called TO abuse Mr.. Web

Local Matters.

House. VERMrS.-The season has commenced
when the whitewash brush and the scrubbng brush
should be freely used, 10 insure cleanliness, COM
fort, and health in domestic abodes. Holes and
creviccs in walls and by washboards should be filled
with lime, mortar, or calcined plaster Of paris.
The latter Is very convenient and cfectual for this
purpose. The cleanest housekeepers in Washing
ton are much troubled in the sumner season with
cockroachcs; and, 10 destroy them. many contriv-
ances have been invented. Somebody in the Boston
papers, we notice, advcrtises "cockroach and bed
bug bane." II The article il effectual TO extermi
nate the fret of these plaques, and the use Of il is
not dangerous, think it would sell well in this
city, where many houses are annoyed with this pcs
ferrous and unseemly insect As for bedbugs, il has
long since been sscertained that the only nfallble
bane for them is an abundance Of water and soap,
freely administered by elbow appliances; and when
the chnks and crannies Of chambers filed up in
the manner we have suggested, this remedy is not
90 difficult as might be supposed.
CoscEpr or Rosa JACQUES THIS EvEsINo.--After
our previous notice Of this accomplished young
singer, Il would be supcriuous for us TO dwell upon
the interest with which we look for the result Of
her Concert this evening. We hope il will prove
most profitable TO her, because both personally and
professionally she merits 10 be sustained; and be
cause, also, the metropolis of republic like ours
ought TO consider the patronage Of worth and talent
as a paramount duty, which we shall delight TO
find fulfilled upon the present occasion. As a mere
entertainment for the evening, unconnected with
other claims, the programme is certainly very
attractive one; for. with some of little Miss RosA's
most brilliant musical exploits VIC are to have sew
eral displays from the two children Of Mr.. EsER-
BACH, who are natives Of our city, and are consd-
cred TO be wonders for their tender years. Mr..
THropoRE MoELLrSo, who has been resident
here for some months, is esteemed, by those who
have known him best, to be perfectly capable OF
presiding at the piano with skill and power
which must insure the fullest effect to the numer-
Gus difficult and delightful works which are to be
produced. In short, we sincerely hope that we may
be enabled, by the sequel, to offer Mics RosA JAc-
ouxs, after the Concert, congratulations as well
mertcd present aspirations for its success

WREcKERs ON THE JERsEy CoAsT.-The Home
Journal notices private letter addressed TO the
Hon. VIM. A. Newell, member Of Congress from
this State, giving account of the saving of one
hundred and sixty lives by government life boat of
new invention. This was upon Squam Beach, (coast
of New Jersey,) where the packet ship Ayrshire,
stranded in a violent snow storm ON the night OF
the 9TH Of January. Lying on bar, at some dis
lance from the shore, with heavy sea between, il
was impossible for ordinary boat TO reach the
weasel, and the whole of this large number of pas
sengers would have persisted in sight of land. A
line was sent out, discharged with ball from
carronade across the ship, and life boat thus owed
of, with what is called a scar" one hundred and
twenty landed on the first day, and the remaining
forty the day after. Only one passenger lost,
and he from attempting to come on shore on the
outside Of the car, contrary to orders.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AND DEATH.-About half
past four o'clock yesterday morning, two Of the
spike pointers in the rolling Of James s. Spen-
Ger, jr on the Schuylkill, Fountain Green, in
putting their belt, met with terrible accident.
One Of them was upon ladder which the other was
holding. The former was caught between the pull
ley and belt, and flung by the revolving force OF the
shaft into the machinery, and crushed and mutila-
ted in a horrible manner-one Of his lower extrem-
ties being almost entirely severed from the body.
The latter seriously injured by something
which came in contact with his head. He was
brought 10 town and taken 10 the Pennsylvania

died soon after the accident, they were convey
