ed tonight with brilliant audience Of ladies' and
gentlemen to listen to Mr.. Webster's speech before
the Historical Society. He dilated at length upon
tho ancient history of Greece and Rome, which had
been handed down Us, and pointed out the causes
which had led to the decline and fall of those great
republics.
He divided the latter portion Of his address into
review Of the three epochs Of the history of ,hscoen.
Try, but mainly confined h,mself TO that portion em-
braced in the period from the FIRE, meeting of the
Continental Congress down to the close Of Wash

with remarks upon the present condition Of our

APPOINTMENT OF ELECTORS. We notice that sew
eral Of our contemporaries to the North of Ms are
discussing the election Of Presidential Electors, whs.
1910 or 1885, TO US it admits of no doubt. The
second clause of the first section Of the second Art
Gle Of the Constitution Of the United States declares
,ha. leach State shall appoint, in such manner as
the Legislature thereof may direct. number of elec-
tors, equal to the whole number Of Senators and Re-
presenia,ves to which the State may be entitled in
tho Congress. At the period Of the next Presiden
tal election, each State viii! have in Congress the
number Of Representatives assigned her by the ap'
portionment under the OF l64O and of course
the number of Electors for President will be fixed
BY that apportionment. In addition the act anhorz
ing the census of go declares that the apporonmen
10 be made underi shall not take effect until March
4th, 1853. We do not see that any doubt whatever
should exist on this point. Gokds. Rep E Pat.

MoRrAL,rY IN FLORIDA. 1t Is an interesting fact,
and one which will probably surprise the rest Of man
kind. that by the last returns Florida exh'b'
it's smaller proporlonate mortality than any other
State in the Union. Thus, we find in the Georgian.
of the 9s,h u.., FLORIDA con'rsssd with Ohio' which
is accounted one of the heahest States Florida ex-
hib,s mortality of 933 out Of s7.o6l, or one death

NEw HAMpsHlRE ELECTION. A great responsible.
ity rests with the granite democracy to tho result
of the election In March. The legislature to be
chosen will electa United Stsss senator for six years.
and district the state for congressman under the new
census. In case of the non-eection of electors Of
president and vice president by the people. the egis-
lature will have to choose them. Besides, 1t Is the
opening election in the presidential campaign Of 1852
and the democrats should have the prestige of victo

BY vote Of the people, and that they will empower
tho legislature to propose them future amendments

The WIG GAME. The northern wings, having
fixed upon their candidate. giving their south
ern allies understand that they expect him to keep
quiet upon the compromise measures and the issues
involved in them. The Kennebec (Me.) Journal
sums the matter up in plain terms, as follows:
We ask no more of them (southsrn whiQs) in
this case than we conceded them in the election
of ls4s. We then accepted Gen. Taylor a. the whig
candidate without requiring any psdss upon the sub

ing the compromise measures" .--.-
The four principal northern States, in which whg
State conventions have nominated General Scott,
az we recollect, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana. and
Maine. In Ohio, the saIne convention which nom.
mated him declared that the Compromise open
question-,hat it was not whig measure, and that
the wing party in way committed 10 ito main.
tenance. In Pennsylvania, the convention which
nominated General Scott did under the lead Of Gov.
Johnson, whe, being nominated for Governor by the
same body, declared that the fugitive law was 40
open to repeal modification the tariff Of 1886"
In Indiana, the State Journal-the central organ Of
the whg party-procained. in the most explicit
terms, that General Scott must he taken without
pledges by the South, az Geperal Taylor was taken
in the same way by the wings Of the North; and now

has followed suit in the aoninaton, all singing
