MR., WEBsTER'S SPEECH.

The Register of the 7,h instant contains no allu-
sion to Mr.. Webster's Buffalo Speech. We publish
ed it in last, but that paper has neither given the
Speech to its readers nor commented upon it. We
shall what the Editor has t. say about it in his
issue of to-day, il indeed he should deem it prudent
to notice it at all.
The National Era, the organ of the Aboiiti onists
in Washington City, says:
"We have not room for the speech. of which we
have given a fair outline. 1t is in Mr.. Webster g
usual commanding style, and airms no principal re-
pugnant to any of his declarations in the memorable
speech referred to. But, by carefully enlarging up
on those parts of his public career, in which he has
opposed the extension Of slavery. and by throwing
in many generous sentiments in favor of human free
dom, sample of which We have given in the last
quoted extract, he must have appeared before the
pie of Buffalo in very different light from that in
which some two years ago, he appeared to us in the
capitol. How his Southern friends will receive his
reiterated declarations of hostility to the extension OF
slavery, and his expression of regret that Congress
has power to act upon the evil in the States where
it exists, remains to be seen."

HANDSOMELY Done. When Judge Cask;e's Court
adjourned on Saturday night, the jury was engaged
in the trial of cause, which the judge particu
larly desirous to have decided on Monday morning.
He took great pains to Impress upon them. the ne
cessty of meeting at 9o'cIock precsely-intima'ing
that he would put the law in force against them ii
they were not at their post at that hour. 1t hap
pened, however, that while the jury were all punc-
tua in attendance at the hour specified, the Judge him
self did mt arrive until ten, having made mistake in
the hour. When told of his mistake, he went TO the
books and ordered the clerk to enter the full amount
of the penalty prescribed by law against himself
This is good example, and we hope it will be fol-
lowed by the bench generally.

CANDIDATES FOR CoNeREss. As the time for the
election of Representative in Congress is near at
hand, and as the Wings or " Union party in this
District have already made nomination Of Charles
G. Ian. don, ESQ.,, their candidate, has been de-
termned to present the name Of the Hon. John Bragg,
the candidate of all those who opposed to the
principles of the " "Compro,nise Measures =" Of the
late Congress, the purposes of the said Union
ganizatons, and the doctrines which have character
zed the Of Mr.. Langdon. 1t is believed that
the great body of epeopIe of this District regard
the legislation Of the ast Congress aggressive up
the rights of the South ha, efforts should be
directed rather TO the preservation of our institutions,
than to the building up of party organizations which
may weaken the moral force and influence of our
tion of the Union; and that strict adherence to
the letter of the constitution, in opposition to broad
consolidation views, is the BEST it not the only way,
to preserve the rights of our people, and the conn-
uance of the American Union. The circumstances
Of the time necessarily force these issues into the
Congressional canvass, and demand, for them, the
verdict of the people. 9pproraf Of the said Com
great issue which will merge all minor questions,
and is now to be decided at the ballot-box.
The Hon. John Bragg possesses the exact qualities,
bear the standard OF opposition, the Southern stan
dard, the standard Of the Constitution, in this
test. A native of North Carolina, he has resided in
Alabama for many years, has held many important
Offices and has the confidence of the people, in his
integrity and ability without stint hesitation.
Though Democrat of the original Jackson school,
and ardentIy devoted to the Union, he has been
insensibe Of the wrongs which have been inflicted
upon the South, and if elected to Congress would
use uncompromsing efforts to bring back our govern
ment to the pure principles of Jackson and Madison,
and do justice-justice to the South.
These are Judge Bragg's doctrines,-they are uni
versally known,-and his friends, in bringing him
forward, the best representative Of their principles
and vews have the utmost confidence that he will
unite the great strength Of people, and make just
such Representative in Congress as this District
needs at the next session.
We shall, of course refer to this subject more full
ly hereafter. Mobile .4duertiser.

How TO M AXE VINEGAR. There are many great
notions entertained among our farmers about making
vinegar. The grand old plan to put Gu, cider or
water and molasses in cask to the sun, and expose
There still many ideas entertained about max
ing cider as there are about making soft soap, and
luck is frequently held to be the umpire who decides
whether it will be vinegar or no vinegar.
The reason why cider or other fluid mixtures change
their nature and become vinegar is owing to trans
formation of the particles, and then separation of
one more, and combination of others. The oxy-
gen of the atmosphere, although it is not now, as
was once believed to be- the only acidi6er, still it is
the greater and vinegar is formed by the cider
parting with its carbonic acid gas, which it cannot
do without absorbing oxygen. The reasonable
way, then, to make vinegar rapidly and surely, is to
expose the cider much possible to the atnos-
phere. The new way, and what is supposed by many
to be patent way, to make vinegar. is to let the
cider percolate over very exposed surface. This
is the way they make it in the vinegar mandatory.
The apartment where it is made is freely exposed to
the air. and is kept at temperature of about 80 de-
grees. The cider is left in small streams into
troughs with bottoms full of small holes then from
that over very fine wood shavings, such soft saa-
pie; and let these be fully exposed to the air. and
resting on slated bottom made of clean bows or
lahes below which the vessel for receiving should
be placed. Vinegar can be made from lnolasses and
water grapes, stalks beet roots, and many other
substances, by this process in few days. Cider.
however, makes the best vinegar. Many nodfca-
tions (for cheapness) Of the above plan may be
sorted to- the grand secret being the exposure of the
liquids to be changed into vinegar layers or strata 10
the oxyge of the atmosphere. There is not far
mer but with cask, an old tub, and few shavngs,
could make good vinegar in one-6tih of the period
now required by the common plans in use for that
purpose. In those vinegar factories introduced here
by Frenchmen, the plans adopted are those we have
narrated. Scientific 3n.erican.

WAY DO You PuT ASHES ON Corn! The above
question was pu, to the other day by farmer who
stated that several years ago he applied ashes to
field of corn, and it seemed to increase the crop won
derfuly. Last year he " ashed" his corn another
field, and it did not appear to do any good.
We put ashes corn to supply the crop with pot
ash. Corn requires pretty large proportion of pot
ash to form the kernel. Hence one reason why we
generally get such good crops on burnt ground"
as the new clearings called When the soil does
contain potash sufficient for the crop, ap
plication of ashes is of great to it. If there is
already sufficient supply OF potash in the soil. the
application of ashes does not manifest any beneficial
effects. This was probably the case with our friends
soil. The first field was undoubtedly deficient in
