Mr. Webster and Mississippi Delegates.
A portion of the whig delegation from
Mississippi to the late Baltimore Con-
vention, some ten in number, accom-
panied by Hon. Walter Brooke, and
several other gentlemen from the same
State, not delegates, called on Wednes-
day last to pay their respects 10 the dis
tinguished Secretary of State, at his
private residence. The delegation was
received in most cordial and friendly
manner by Mr.. Webster, and the inter
view was of most Interesting char
acter.
After the presentation, Gen. ~ B.
Starke, in behalf of the delegation,
addressed Mr.. Webster in short and
appropriate speech.
Mr. Webster responded 10 Gen. Starke
in few brief and eloquent remarks
He thanked the delegation from Mis-
sissippi, whom he would be proud here
after to number among his friends, for
the kindness and consideration that had
prompted their visit He had no COM
plants to make against the action of
the Convention, and he felt that he
probably of all others, under the cir
cumstances, was least competent to
decide upon the wisdom of that action.
His failure to receive the nomination
inspired him with no very deep regret
so far as he was personally concerned,
bnt the disappointment which some of
his friends, who had taken warm in
terest in his behalf, had been subjected
to had, he confessed, afflicted him
deeply. He understood and appreciated
fully the difficulties that surrounded the
southern delegates in the Convention,
and assured them that he cherished not
single unkind feeling for not having
been honored with their votes. He re-
GREETED that their policy had been me-
cessary only because it would write a
false chapter in the history of the
country.
By the record it appeared that in all
the numerous ballotings the southern
delegates had failed to cast their votes
for him, even after the hope of success
for their favorite candidate had been
abandoned; but the causes that pre-
vented them from coming to his support
were not of record. He supposed he
would be compelled to submit quietly
to this apparent reflection upon his
public life, but still, knowing the cir
cumstances that influenced them, it
did not in the slightest degree affect his
| feelings towards his southern friends
He concluded some general remarks
with high eulogy upon the character
and great conservative principles of the
whig party, and urged upon the delega-
ton the necessity for rigidly adhering
to them, for upon their maintenance
and supremacy, he said depended the
prosperity and perpetuity of our Re-
publican Government. He concluded

10 1t is amusing to read some OF
the hair oil advertisements. In one It
is stated that "A gentleman writes, !
broke bottle of your invaluable oil in
my pocket, and the next day | found
there sufficient crop of hair TO braid a
watch chain.'n
Says another: A customer called
to-day to say that his wife accidentally
dropped bottle of your celebrated hair
oil on his entry floor last night, and
this morning she discovered splendid
hair mat in the entry. A fact like this
speaks volulnes.n

the irst discovery of this valuable metal
in Australia:
The first piece found was by native,
He was Bushman. The scale of in

for its lowness. Seeing his master

SCOTT AND GRAHAM.
Tune" Dearest Mae
In Baltimore the wings agreed
Upon their candidate,
And mean that he shall be the man
To guide the ship of State;
He bears name that is without
A blemish or spot
A patriot, hero, statesman, sage
Who else but WINFIELD ScoTT.
Hurrah. Hurrah Hurrah!
For Scott, the brave and true,
Who never yet has lost the fight,
Nor will he lose it now.
Two generals are in the field,
Frank Pierce and Winfield Scott
Some think that Franks fighting man,
And some think he is not.
'T'is said that when in Mexico,
While leading on his force,
He took sudden faintng fit,
And tunibled off his horse.
a Hurrahl Hurrah, Hurrah.
For Winfield the undaunted,
Who never on the battlefield,
Surrendered, fed or tainted
But gallant Scott has made his mark
On many bleody plain,
The chief of Iundy's lane
And Chippewa is classic ground
Our British neighbors know,
And if you'd hear of later deeds,
Go ask in Mexico!
Hurrahl Huarahi Hurrah
For Scott and Graham true
They are the boys to lead the fight,
And bows &c win it too
1o,-, on tho
And whip out Pierce and King,
From Maine to California,
Wen make the Evelkin ring.
Well give theslocos good Scott soup
OF which we've SO mnch read,
And if they shouldn't like our soup,
Well give them Graham bread.
Hnrraht H1rrah, Hurrah
When e'er the chance permits,
With warm Scott soup and Graham bread
Wen give the locos hts.
Then let ss enter on the fight
Our cause is just and high
Let's show our foes the fuss we raise
Will make the feathers fly
The gallant Scott who leads the van,
Is honest. faithful, true:
And he has got the peoples heart
So we say bat say you
HurYah, Harrah! Hurrah!
For Scott, the brave and true,
He's got the honest peoples heart
So we say-what say you
Our noble Scott has never failed
Wherever he nigh be
On Cerro Gordo's blood stained heights,
Or in diplomacy.
He calmed the angry border ieuds
Upon our northern line,
And caused, where wars black clouds arose,
The star Of peace to shine.
Hurrah Hurrah Hurrah
For Scott the brave and TRUE
The man who never lost field
Will win this field for you
Then, boys, hurrah for Winfield Scott,
Who leads the great wing troap,

Who never counts his enemies,
And never knows fear,
But gives his foes :, raking IRE
In front and in the rear
Hurran Iarrah! Harrah!
For Scott, the brave and true,
Who never iaInts on battle fields,
But fights his battles through.
Now if you'll work. you gallant wings,
For Scott and Willie Graham,

And when the tatnti0g Pierce boys talk

Il Miser and HIS Treasure.-A miser
having amassed an immense sum Of
money by denying himself the common
necessaries of life, was much embar-
rassed where to lodge it in security
After much consideration, he fixed upon
corner in a retired field, where he
deposited his treasure, in a hole which
he had dug for that purpose. His mind
was now for moment at ease; but he
had not proceeded many PAGES on his
way home when his anxiety returned,
he could net forbear going back to see
if everything was safe. This he re-
peated so often that he was observed
by man who was looking over hedge
from an adjoining meadow He, con-
cluding that something extraordinary
must be the occasion of these frequent
visits, marked the spot, and coming in
the night he discovered the prize, and
carried it away, Early the next morn
ing the miser renewed his visits, when
finding his treasure gone, he broke out
in most bitter exclamations. A traveller
who was passing, moved by his COM
plants, inquired the cause. e.ee
"Alas~ replied the miser, /" [ have
sustained most irreparable loss
Some villain has robbed me of a sum
of money which | buried under this
stone" ...
Buriedw exclaimed the traveller,
with a look of surprise. "Why did you
not keep it in your house, that it might
be ready for your daily wants %
"Whatm replied the miser, with an
air of astonishment and indignation,
do You imagine so little know the
value of money? On the contrary, |
had prudently resolved to lay it by and
not to touch single shilling of it."
!" If that is your resolution" answered
the traveller, "you have only to put this
stone in the place of your treasure, and
it will answer all your purposes just as
wellw

lowing specimen of New York rowdy-
ism from the Tribune. in which it ap-
pears as a communication. Such a
scene would not be tolerated in a
southern city-not even In this land
of oppression and slavery"
Although stranger in your city, |
trust YOU will allow me, through the
medium of your widely extended jour-
nal, to notice shameful and disgrace
full scene which occurred in one of the
popular streets of the city on Monday
evening last. About O'Clock on that
evening my attention was attracted by
large concourse of people hurrying
in hot haste down Broadway, near its
junction with Grand street. Upon fol-
lowing up the crowd | observed that
some twenty rowdies were in pursuit of
poor fellow who was seated on the
top of a truck-wagon, and pelllng him
most numerically with stones. They
continued to direct their missiles at
the head of the unfortunate man until
the wagon arrived at Montgomery
street, where it stopped. They then
clambereu up the side of the wagon,
dealing heavy and severe blows in the
face of the poor fellow, who, of course,
was unable to contend against such
fearful odds, and his features were so
besmeared with blood and lacerated
that it would have puzzled his best
friend to recognise him. This all oc-
Cured in the presence of hundreds OF
spectators residing in that vicinity,
among whom was large number OF
women and children. and it was not
until the bystanders interfered, at the
imminent risk of their own personal
safety, that the rowdleS deSiSted from
their brutal assault. There was no
police officer there to pnt stop TO this
outrage, and arrest and bring to con-
| dign punishment these violaters of the
public peace.
While upon this subject | may as
we'll notice another outrage that came
under my personal observation a few
days since in another part of the city,
and which, Mr.. Editor. for the honor of
your corporation, regret 10 say are of
too frequent occurrence. Passing by
the Battery short time ago, noticed
an overgrown bully deliberately walk
up TO poor, unoffending German, and
dealt several desperate blows in his
face, and then run off without being
arrested and punished, as he deserved
TO be.
The Newark Advertiser gives the
following account Of one of the most
| inhuman and brutal affairs we have
ever heard of 1t took place near
Sandy Hill, on the Ramapo Railroad.
on the 18th ult,, and has justly caused
an unusual excitement in the neighbor-
| hood:
Banta and his wife were in the cars,
and he either refused entirely to pay
his fare, claiming a free passage be
cause he had formerly worked on the
| road, or he had not sufficient money TO
pay. The conductor therefore turned
| him out and, as stated, while the cars
were in motion, so that Banta was
severely bruised. He lay on the track
till the next train came, and il passed
over him, cutting off both legs at the
thighs, so that he died Immediately
On the return Of the train the conductor
was arrested and Imprisoned. Another
report, however, says he has absconded.

threat that the Southern Rights party or any

question.
Mr.. FREEMAN was understood to inquire of
what party the Southern Press was the organ
Mr.. BROWN replied that it represented like
all other papers, Its patrons, and those who
agreed with the opinions 1t expressed.
Mr.. FREEMAN inquired if he understood his
colleague to admit that the Southern Press was
not the organ Of any organised party
Mr.. BROWN did not know that it was, and did
not profess to say whose organ it was.
The conversation was then interrupted by the
chair as being out of order.
Mr.. STANTON then proceeded and sustained

violation Of his contract
Mr.. PARKER, of Indiana, then argued that
the Committee on Printing had charge of this
