81 The wing papers are making great
ado over the election in Vermont, just as though
there was possibility that Vermont would go
over to the democracy. No sane democrat
ever thought of claiming redemption of that
State from federalism, although we should
Judge from the vote that she is getting uneasy
under the pressure of her political sins. Where
then is conscience not entirely scared, there is
hope; and we should not be surprised, if, in
the process of time, democratic leaven works
out the redemption of the State. Vermont has
gone for federalism, as usual, is all that is
necessary to say of every election in that State.
Before Vermont is converted to democracy,
however, she must either get new conscience,
or submit to dreadful racking pangs of politi-
cal quilt

New JUSTICE FOR THE U. S. SUPREME CouRr.
The vacancy caused by the decease of the Ia
mented Judge Woodbury. has been filed by the
appointment of Benjamin R. Curtis, Esq, of
Boston. The Transcript states that the desire
to appoint man young enough TO have the
prospect of long judicial term before him,
induced President Fillmore to pass over the
claims of others older than Mr.. Curtis, who is
about 40. The Transcript adds
The professional aitninments and The
high personal qualifications Of MIR. Curtis are
too well known to the bar, not only of New
England but of The nation, TO make il nee
essary more than 10 allude to them. The
early and decided stand taken by Mr.. Curtis,
ia support Of the constitution and the laws,
on recent important occasion, and the ma
tional and conservative disposition that he
has manifested whenever he has been pre-
vailed upon to mingle 10 public affairs, have
also constituted claim for this distinguished
honor that could not be overlooked by the
administration.

caster Co., Pennsylvania, in which Mr.. Gorsuch

slaves, was killed, and his son and several

Arrests to the number of 40 or so have been
made; and among the persons captured are sew
eral blacks who fred at the deceased, and two
white men, who are charged with instigating
the murder. The mulatto man who fred the
fatal shot has not yet been taken. About 80
negroes were engaged in this attempt to resist
recapture with arms. MIR. Gorsuch's son and

The Wing Party Abolitionized

Once in a while whig editor Is brought to
knowledge Of the truth, and, what is much
more remarkable, 20 frank and manly confess
sion. Such is the following from the Chambers
Tribune. an Alabama paper. We commend it
to the wings as gem of frankness, such as
they seldom or never meet with in their party
organs of this region -
"The whig party at the south, as party, is
as dead as a mackerel. By the presidential
election, it will be difficult to find individual
specimens of that species ofthe great family of
politicians. SI
The reason of this extinction is obvious
The general rule of whig affinity. north, is aboli
tion-sodrd. The exceptions are barely sufficient
to establish the rule We do not know why
this is so; but the fact is as apparent as the
face of the heavens. Southern men, therefore,
cannot longer act with the national whig party.
We in the south neper had any immediate in
terest in the establishment Of the protective sys-
tenn but acting in good faith to our northern
allies, the southern whig party tied itself to an
unpopular issue and fell with it. The return
which we have received for this is general al
lance of northern whiggery with abolitionism.

| The result of this condition of public senti-
ment, north and south, will be apparent before

The next Presidency!

The mode of selecting delegates to the Ma
tional Convention is receiving some attention
at the present time, by the democratic press of
our State. The death of Judge Woodbury.,
who, as Northern man, would quite likely
have united the democracy of Maine and New
Hampshire as their first choice for the Presi-
dency, has seemingly thrown open again the
question of preference, so far as our own State
is concerned. 1t is hardly probable that the
democracy have, as yet, interchanged senti-
ments sufficiently upon the question to enable
them TO determine, with any precision, which
! of the prominent democrats TO whom the eyes
of the country seem to be directed, as fit candi-
dates for the high post, would engage the pref
erence of a greater portion of the party-it is
possible, indeed, that the party may have no
particular preference to suggest 1t is proper,
however, that Maine should have preference,
and signify it by sendpg delegates that shall
represent her wishes, for this is prerogative,
the exercise of which should by no means be
| disregarded.
Without presuming, at this time, to suggest
a name, or signify any preference, we would
express our acquiescence in all that the Au-
,gusta Age has said in relation to the quaifica-
tons of the old hero of San Jacinto. Gen1.
Houston undoubtedly possesses those popular
elements of character, together with talents and
abilities eminently suited to adapt him to such
station, and would draw out as strong a vote
of the democracy of o0r State as any other man
in the country-but, if we mistake not the set
ting of the public current, it is turning west
wardly. We believe that our Southern friends
would prefer that candidate from the free
States should be selected, and we believe that
this would be the most advisable for the whole
community, on other accounts. ..

man nature, often fall under the observation of

interesting features of the occasion. The
Canadians had all arrived excerting Lord
Elgin, Gov. Gen. of Canada, and suite, who
arrived in the afternoon, too late for The ex-
cursion. The excursion fleet was composed
of the new and beautiful propeller ship S. S.
Lewis, containing the President, U. S. and
Canadian civic and military officers, to the
number of about two hundred in all, and the
steamers St. Lawrence, May Flower, Nau-
shon, Benz. Franklin, and the Revenue Cut
ters Morris and Hamilton in tow Of steamer
John Taylor. With about 5000 people on
board, the fleet with the S. s. Lewis in ad-
vance, proceeded down the harbor amid the
roaring of cannon and The cheers of the null
titudes that swnrmed upon The t and other
wharves, and filled the rigging of the ships
lying near by, which were gaily decked out
with flags. After rounding Georges Island,
and getting a.good view Of the Fort, the fleet
returned. On the passage back to the city,
sumptuous dinners were served up on board
every vessel. The flow of stimulants was
unprecedented, and to a down easter right
from under the operation Of the new liquor
law, the time" grated harshly on his
nerves. Being proof. we stood it however.
The Canadians were unbounded in their
praises of Boston hafbor, and showed a pc

Their behavior was very appropriate and
gen'lemanly, and the whole party landed f.
nally on the whafves with proofs of enjoy
mont beaming from their countenances.
