WHO ARE THE SEcEss1oslsrs!-The Dis
trict Attorney Of Charleston, who was lately
in Washington, states that the politicians who
are now reveling in secession projects in Sonth
Carolina, by no means represent the senti.
ments of the people Of that State. The dele
gates to the convention from one district were
sent by meeting composed Of twenty per.
sons, fifteen Of whom were made delegates.
Similar operations were performed in other
districts. The fact is, as the National 1ntei!-
gencer says, these delegates are ofthe old aris.
tocratc class in the State, and to be extremists
is sort Of excusiyeness with them. The
Charleston Mercury says that they were the
"picked men of every part Of the State" Nut.

A4r. Webster In New York.

mr. Webster IN NEW xorRs
While at New York with the President Dir.
Webster was prevailed on to address the cisi-
zens, which he did in the following terms:
Fel!ow-c;t;zens of Ne,c York-Under the
circumstances of this OCCASION it will be proper
for me to say what have to say in very few
words. You have assembled here to give
cordial welcome to the Chief Magistrate Of the
country, and in the invitation extended to
him you have been pleased to associate those
who have assisted him in the administration Of
the Government. Itwould neither be graceful
nor dccorous, gentlemen, for me to speak OF
hinl-oi his merits, his deserts-of his devo-
tion to the Union, and Of that singeness OF
heart with which he pursues the interests, and
the renown of the country. But for those who
have assisted him, may perhaps be permitted
to say that or all great national questions, In
everything touching the peace, the harmony,
and welfare of our country, the stability and
perpetuity of the Union and the constitution,
there has never been the slightest difference
between him and one OF us.
Gentlemen, in making progress from the
South to Lake Erie. we have come, as every
body must come who is bound northward or
eastward, to the city Of New York. We must
pass through it, and we must breathe us mr.
For many months it has been an mir which !
have delighted to breathe. 1t is patriotic at
mosphere. Constitutional breezes fan it every
day, and ten thousand flowers Of patriotic
feeling, of national hopes, and national purpo-
ses spring up and flourish beneath its balmy
influence. Every body that loves the Union
loves to come to New York. In that respect,
gentlemen, your magnificent city is
IA loadstar, and its breath sweet ali"
And so may it ever be. Long may this vast
metropolis, counting so many thousands Of
industrious and happy people, long may she
continne to maintain the character she now
enjoys. wish that those unhappy spirits who
are dissatisfied with our glorious Union would
come here and see this scene of activity and
industry, Of generous feeling and patriotic
glow. I think they would be benefited by
It most essentially. l think that they

BEAUTIES OF THE MILITARY SYsrEM.--A
portion of the militia of the State has been having
an encampment at Neponset, few miles from Bos-
ton The Journal gives the following account of one
of its accompanlments:
The vigorous and determined efforts of Sheriff
Adams and his assistants, backed by the military
have succeeded in routing the hordes of gamblers Of
every shade and hue of vcousness, from Ihe vicinity
ofthe camp. although the disgraceful scenes which
have since been witnessed at Squantum, place
about two miles from the camp, show that the evil
has only been removed without the pale of the police
Here gambling, provoked by the maddenins bowl is
the order of the day; and under the Influence of
strong drink, lighting of the most beastly and brutal
character, is not the worst of the crimes commtted
Yesterday afternoon, nearly all the persons collected
at this place, were fighting together, almost promis
cuousy, and deadly weapons we're called into reou-
sltion on all sides. One man had an ear bit off, an
other portion of his nose; and third had his eve
forced from IFS socket; one man was hustled into
circle OF backlegs and gold watch stolen; several
were robbed by means of deliberately concocted
plans OF rascals. We have no hear, to 90 into these
revolving Details to pea the conclusions that would
naturally follow froma contemplation of such scene
of wretchedness.

Mr.. WEBsTER's LATIN PRAYER.-Mr. Web
sters 4th of July oration contains Latin sentence
which, translated, is as follows:
sT~o things only, ,Oish for; the first is, that nav
teaOe the Roman people ree-and greater blessing than
this the immortal Gods bestow upon me- The other
that euey man may be rcnarded he has deserved Of his
country
Mr. Webster must certainly have thought that The
immortal Gods he petitioned, either did not under
stand Latin, or would not answer prayer---ese he
would have omitted the last part Of the invocation.
