{scribes one of the heather temples of India:

your Crystal Palace into the pocket of this
huge pagoda. The walls are 25 feet high
and four or FIVE feet thick. and in the cen

bowers. Within that square there is am

great hall for pilgrims is supported BY a
thousand pillars. each cut out Of singleI

Mr. Webster on this subject, and particularly OF that
which afrms the fnality OF the Compromise, has been
receiving the responses of the faithful OF the party
but not one OF these responses has come near the i've
points embraced 10 the measure No other alternative is
left for the Republic but to take it's position among those
points and console itself that II ever such response
does come it will be in the right place to receive IT.
srea, effort is now being made to drill MT Winthrop,
and the hope is entertained some quarters, we see,
that he will hit of the points in his response but we
are inclined to think that, when the time for trial comes
will be found that he is maintaining the propre'y OF
his vote against the fugitive slave BILL and the necessity
of il. repeal to satisfy the abolitionists
