world presents no such spectacle as DANIEL WEI
sTER, at his age and laboring temporarily under
we're bodily inhrmities, traversing our country
day after day. and almost hourly addressing vast
assemblages of the people in behalf of the Union.
and expounding to them their duty TO the Consiitu-
ton and to the law.
That party lines and party animosites should
melt away as unworthy of a moments considera-
ton, before such spectacle and under such
circumstances, is most natural; and when, az
was the case few days since, one OF the
most influential, wealthiest and jealous Dem
ocrats of the city, deliberately assured Va that
if DANIEL WEBSTER was nominated for the
Presidency he and all his friends would read
lily sustain him, and that he knew hundreds
of Hunker Democrats who avowed similar lnten-
TONS we could readily believe in the sincerity
of his declaration. And such, too, would be the ac-
ton of thousands and tens of thousands OF honest
Democrats throughout the land. Their patriotism,
their pride and their love Of union and devotion to
the Constitution, would triumph all mere
party considerations; and certainly az we writ
these lines 30 certainly do believe, that if DAN
lei WEBSTER should be nominated for the Presi-
dency, he would be triumphanty elected by the
law. abiding, Union loving people of the United
States. The Wing party owe 1t TO him and to the
country to give the people in the next election the
opportunity which has never yet been conceded to
them, of voting for MIR. Webster for the Presi
dency; and if they will do this nobly will the peo
pie vndicae their capacity to appreciate his mighty
intellect, by their readiness TO reward his sacri
fees and services in behalf of the Union and in
defence of the Constitution of our country.

WILLIE TURNPIKE COMPANY.

WILLIE TURNPIKE COMPANY.
TINE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTORS, with the
n majority of the Stockholders, have determined
TO construct on this turnpike Plank Road running
from the city boundary Seventh street 10 the line
of the District and Montgomery county Maryland,
and for that purpose will issue stock, to the ex
tent of seven hundred and fifty shares of t,oentu
to solicit and receive subscriptions 10 the same.
Books are now open at office for the purpose.
Fue dollars each share is to be paid at the time
of subscribing, and like amount every sixty
days until the whole is paid.
The advantages of such a road to the city, and
the property in the vicinity of the road must be
apparent to all conversant with its situation There
is but little doubt that similar road will soon be
built, connecting this road with Rockville and
Brookville-the last in the midst of fine agr-
cultural country; thus opening direct and easy
route from Montgomery and the upper part OF
Anne Arundel counties to this city for the trans
portation Of the products of that and the surround
ing country.
Plank Roads are being most extensively con-
structed throughout the country, and have every
Iuhere proved profitable investments, paying large
dividends TO the stockholders, besides improving
the value of property them, and greatly in
creasing the trade in the places through which
they pass.
A considerable portion of the stock has already
been subscribed.
Holders Of the old stock in the company are enti-
tied to share Of stock for every tco shares
of the old, which will be issued to them on surren-
der of the old certificates The new road will pro-
badly be finished in less than twelve months aud
ready for travel. The cost will be less than SI5,
600 Il is thought it will pay dividend of not less
than five per cent the first year after il is finished
and the dividends will steadily increase.

try and TO perpetuate a Union and institutions,
destined, if preserved, to secure the happiness of
unknown millions through all time, and to enable
the people to vindicate themselves from the asper
sions cast upon their intelligence and gratitude
most earnestly do we desire TO sec Mr. WEBSTER
receive the nomination OF the Wing party at their
next National Convention.
In our judgment the nomination of Mr.. WEE
STIR by the Whig party would be equivalent to an
election.x Beyond the shadow of a doubt he would
carry every Wing State at the South; while the
three great States of New York, Pennsy lvania, and
Ohio, and the Wing States of the North generally,
would as certainly sustain him Not only would
he everywhere carry the Wing vote when once in
the field, but he would in every State of the Union
make an inroad into the Democratic ranks; and
this lie freely conceded by their leaders, Il ia APP
parent to all that party lines are less clearly de-
fined, and that party obligations hang more loosely
upon the shoulders OF men, than at any period of
political history since the second election of
Mr.. MoNsoE. Party issues have been greatly mar
rowed down, and party feelings have recently been
merged in what was looked upon as common
danger. The Union of these States was deemed
to be in danger, and the principles OF the Consti
tuition upon which that Union is based were de-
hberatcly set ut defiance dark cloud lowered
over our beloved country and threatened to de-
stroy the fairest fabric ever raised by human
hands for the benefit of suffering humanity
common danger united men of all parties in com
bined struggle for the preservation of the great
legacy bequeathed to us by the heroes Of the Revo-
luton and by general consent they looked up to
him who bad won the high title Of Defender Of the
Constitution and proclaimed that 4" Union for sake
OF the Union would ever be to him a watchword
far above the contentious and the strife Of party
and they did not look in vain. The voice of party
was hushed-silenced by the demands of patriot
ism and side by side the friends Of the Consttu-
ton fought the battle Of Union for the sake of the

Cunning Trick.

In France, all things eatable pay duty on
passing the city gate to market. The New
York MirrOr tells a capital story of trick
devised by a butcher to evade the law
Being suspected of having paid for one hog,
and brought in two, he was followed by the
police. They were close on his heels, but
when they entered, they found him entirely
absorbed in rocking a cradle and singing
%lulIaby-the infant carefully curtained from
the light, The officer requested him to
leave his singing, and accompany the men
in search of the premises.
"Ifyou will sit by the cradle of my sick
child, | will" said the butcher m%ournfully
"but my wife is gone for medicine, and the
little one must be kept from waking. Bye
-bye-lullaby" (He went on singing
till the officer seated himself) "Take care
you don't rock so hard as to jolt open the
curtain +! he added, "for the light will
waken him in an instantr'
The cradle was carefully rocked and thu
infant slept till the butcher returned. HI

and nodded sadly to the officer and his mel
