TEr. W GbsGer's Position.

III" New York Courier and Enquirer
makes the following Statement, in regard
10 MIR. Webstcr's position in relation to
T.; Cen. Scott as he wing candidate for the
Presidency. The editor speaks as BY
%uthority-hr being one Of the persons
10 wI,cm the letter referred to below,
was d;ctat"d:
"But few days previous to his death,
ne d,cta ed a letter to i've Of his early
friends. nf whom we We're one, recog-
nising the obligations Of the Wing Party
10 sustain the rominee of the Baltimore
Convention, even while he deprecated
as he ever has done, the too frequent
rac.ice Of elevating military chiettains
TO the Prrsldencv--a practice which
harmless as yet; is iraught with danger
to the future; and which therefore,
should not be perpetuatcd BY presidents
which Will IN Tune, exercise a danger
Gus inhucace upon the stability of Re-
publican Institutions. That letter, al
though dictated from what proved to be
a bed Of death, and in full view of his
responsibilities in this world and that
upon which he has so speedily entered;
was never signed: Its binding influence
however, no one will dispute; while its
wisdom; with Gods sanction, will We
hope, be recognised in all future time.
There is no danger in the elevation of
such a Military Chiefiain as WINFIELD
SCOTT to the Presidency; and while Mr..
WEBSTER was in this instance, prepared
to recognise the absolute necessity Of
sustaining the action Of the Baltimore
Convention in order to secure a triumph
to the principles which We're so dear to
him, he was equally DESTROYS oflmpres-
sing upon the people, that such expert
ments could not BE- lndulged in here
after, without danger to the Institutions
Of our country"

TIME.--lt waits for no man-it !rav-
els onward With an even, uninterrupted,
memorable step, without Gccammoda-
ting itself to the delays OF mor.as. The
restless hours pursue their course; nc.
ments press after moments; day treads
upon day; year rolls after year.--Does
man loiter procrastinate -! Is he list
less or indolent Behold the DAYS and
months, and years, unmndfu of his de.
lay, are never sluggish, but march for
ward in silent and solemn procession.
Our labors and tolls, our ideas and feel
ngs, may be suspended by sleep, dark
ness and silence, and death may reign
around US; but Time rests not, slumbers
never, but presses along and knows no
stoppage.-We may dam up mighty
rivers; stop them in journeyns to the
ocean; press them back 10 their source;
but the arrest of time is beyond the
power of any being besides Om-
impotence, The clock may cease to
strike, the bell to toll; the sun may cease
TO shine, the moon staud still, the stars
withdraw their light; but The busy hours
pass on. Tho months and years must
pass on, ever forward.

South CAROLINA AND Calhoun
The Charleston Courier says of the liter
airy works of the lamcnted Calhoun
"but little interest or demand is mani
tested for the work, and the edition for
the most part lies quietly reposing on
the booksellers Shelves" 1t is also
true that the mortal remains of Calhoun
as do those OF the distinguished Hayne,
repose unmarked by any public monu-
ment.

FEMALES IN JArAN.-The best proof
of the real civilization of the japanese
is to be found in their treatment OF the
female Sex. Their condition is unques-
tionably superior to that of the women
of any other Oriental country. They
are subjected to no seclusion and hold a
fair station in society. Their manners
a,e kind, polite and chaste, and their
purity is proverbial. "a faithless wife

The ELECTION Returns from the
States remind us of an anecdote of the
late Duke Of Wellington, as related by
a gentleman of the highest respectable
ty. 1t is vel! known that the Duke was
very av"rse to Speaking about his SER
vices at " aterloo-.a feeling which had
grown upon him, from the fact that he
was very much bored with the subject
by distinguished visiters who called upon
him. On one occasion, of a sort of
seml-pub!ic character. distinguished
foreigner was placed at the table next
TO the Duke. He kept continually speak
ing to him OF Waterloo, very compli-
mentary ali the while. The company,
who were aware OF his dislike TO the
subject, saw that the Duke was uneasy,
ana that he dislked the inc of relnarl,
taken by his obsequious friend. 70
crown all, the distinguished stranger,
upon the removal OF the cloth, arose TO
propose the health OF the Duke in doing
which he reviewed his public services,
and was particularly eloquent about
" aterldo, the details of which battle he
dwelt upon at considerable length.
When he concluded, all eyes were turn
ed upon the Duke, expecting him to
respond. At length he arose and said -,
"Gentlemen, Waterloo was great
smash-a ID great smash"-and sat
down. His eulogist was quite aslonish-
ed at his emphasis and brevity.

Ir!e states that memorial, numerousIv

stature, praying an appropriation TO
represent Canada properly in the INDUS
trial exhibition to be held in New \ ork
newt May. 1t is stated that the matter
is Iavorably looked upon by the govern
mrnt, and from the almost universal
opinion Of individual members of the
House, there cannot be the slightest
doubt but that steps will be taken in ac-
cordance with the prayer of the petition.

INFLUENCE OF NEWSPAPER A
school teacher who has been engaged
long time in his profession, and witness
ed the influence of newspaper upon
the minds of a family of children, writes
to the editor of the Ogdensburg Senti-
mel as follows:
have found it to be universe fact,
without exception, that those scholars Of
both sexes, and Of all ages, who have
had access to newspapers at home, when
compared with those who have not are
]. Better readers, excelling in pro-
nunciation and emphasis, and conse-
quently read more understanding!y.
?. They are better spoilers, and de-
fine words with greater ease and accur-
acy.
S. They obtain practical knowledge
Of geography in almost half the time it
requires others, as the newspaper has
made them familiar with the location
of he important places, nations, their
governments, and dongs on the globe.
a., They are better grammarians, for
having become so familiar with every
variety Of style, in the newspaper from
the common place adv eltiSrm-ns o the
finished and classical oratory OF the
statesman, they more readily compre-
bend the meaning Of the text, and
consequently an alyze its construction
with accuracy
5. They write better compositions,
using better language, containing more
thoughts, more clearly and Connected
ly expressed.
6. Those young men who have for
veals been readers Of the newspapers are
always taking the lead in the debating
society exhibiting more extensive
knowledge upon greater variety Of
subjects and expressing Their views with
greater tluencv, cI"arness and correct
ness in their use of language
A FORTUNE EiEw.--W learn from
the Boston Advertiser. that Mr.. John
Crotts Co!held, aged 10 years, died on
the 2sth uit., at his residence, in Ann
street, where he had for several wears
lived in a penurious and retired manner.
1t was believed that by his penurious
habit he had saved a small sum of money
earned at his trade, cobblng boots and
shoes, but great was the surprise of his
friends and others, on overhaulng the
old boots IN the corner of his room, soon
after his death, to find some of them lit
orally crammed with old wallets we'll
filled "with the root of all evil" 1t is
impossible at present to tell the amount
Of fortune he has left, but we have heard
it estimated at so large sum as to seem
incredible 5000, 900, and what makes it
more interesting to the parties concern
ed, he has left will as long as the
moral law, well and faithfully executed,
in which, he DEGREES that his estate shall
be kept in trust for twenty years, before
the heirs, with one exception, can re-
ceive any benefit thererom.
