THE WEBSTER NOMINATION.

A short time since few patriotic gentle
men got together in an upstairs room on an
obscure street, or alley, in Philadelphia, Or
panized themselves into n national conven-
ton, and proceeded, with all the gravity and
deliberation of beer-house clique, to nomi-
nate candidates for President and Vice Presi.
dent of-the United States. The first honor
was conferred upon Mr.. Webster-th second
upon Mr.. J. w. Kennedy. The Convention
then adjourned, we presume, sine die Thus
far we have not seen that Mr.. Webster has
noticed the matter at all; and Mr.. Kennedy,
the gentleman who received the nomination
for the second office, as soon as he was ap-
prised of the fact set down and wrote brief
note, informing the anxious public that if he
was the individual meant, he begged leave
respectfully to decline the honor rendered.
From which we guess Mr.. Kennedy is gen.
tleman of pretty good sense.
We doubt very much whether any con-
siderable number of persons in the United
States knew that it was in contemplation to
hold such Convention, or that a greater num-
Der now know that it has been held, and its
action, so far as it has been noticed at all, has
been the subject for ridcue and contempt
not on account of the gentlemen nominated
but from the mysterious littleness of the
Convention ITSELF And yet it is gravely pro-
posed in two or three States, to run this tick
ct, thus nominated. It is barely possible that,
in view of the peculiar state of parties in
Georgia, men might be found in that State
who would consent 10 60 upon the cleo
toral ticket, but we will venture the as
sertion that in the whole length and breadth
of Tennessee ten men cannot be found sim
ple-minded enough to suffer themselves to be
so used. Both the great parties of the coun-
try met in Convention and nominated candi-
dates in accordance with their respective par
ty usages. Both parties by agreeing to go
into Convention for specified purpose, i'm
plicdly, at least, bound themselves to acqui-
esce in the decisions Of their respective Con-
ventions. And now for few disaffected
spirits who have neither the capacity to lead
nor the good sense to fall into their proper
places, to attempt to get up third ticket
with the expectation of carrying even sim
gle State, is about the tallest piece of TOM
foolery we have ever met with. If the actors
in this farce are not heartily ashamed oftheir
proceedings in less than three months then
we will agree to pay for the cakes.

TuE FIsHrRr QUEsnov.-It is stated,

THE FISHERY QUEsTIoN.-lt is stated
says the Baltimore Sun, in dispatch from
Washington, that so far from the fishery dit
fculties being settled, the gravest fears are
entertained in that city for the result, and tfia'
President Fillmore and the British Minister
had long interview on the subject on Satur-
day. The dispatch further adds;
at is ascertained that the British govern
ment never contemplated enforcing the dis
puted point of the treaty as to the headlands'
but the colonial authorities have always con-
tended for this Interpretation, and have pass
ed laws to that effect. Five of the armed
cruisers fitting out by the cOonists are IN
structed to seize all American fishing vessels
violating that Interpretation OF the treaty.
They even go further, and declare that any
fishing vessels found within the three miles
are lawful prizes.
admiral Seymour, it appears, is as deslr-
Gus of preventing the execution OF this lore
ed construction as Commodore Perry can be,
but the danger is that, notwithstanding his
watchfulness, some such seizure may take
place. Besides there are at least twenty
thousand American fishermen Interested IN
this fishing trade, and authentic lnloTni''ioi'
has reached here that they are daily becom-
ing more and more excited. -
1.-THE warlikc demonstrations in the Senate
will not have the effect of calming this feel
ing. The greatest anxiety is therefore, felt
for the speedy adjustment of the difficulty
If American blood should be spilled, war
would be inevitable. The negotiations which
are progressing are, doubtless, rendered more
complicated by the fact that the President
does not feel warranted in making any con-
cessons to England for the opening OF
the fisheries. unless the matter is first submit
ted to Congress; and the feeling of Congress
is not, at present, the most amicable."
Another dispatch from Washington says
"Mr Champion, the British Minister has
had amin tervew with the President, and has
informed him that Lord Derby has taken the
fishing question out of his hands and refer
red it to the Colonial Government"

Prison CoNrEssIoNs-Tho good, credu-
lous souls who go about colectingmOral facts
and statistics from criminals, sometimes get
most egregiousy sold. A correspondent of
the Norfolk County Journal relates the fol-
lowing instance, which he picked up on a WIS.,
it to the Thomaston prison.
81 was amused with an anecdote told me
relative to clergyman who visited the prison,
and desired to converse with the prisoners. -
The warden informed him that there would
probably be little satisfaction in doing so, as
correct answers would be difficult OF OBJ
taining. However, he began conversation
with a Young prisoner, and inquired relative
to the nature of his crime. In reply the pris-
oner told him that he "stole sawmill, and
on going back after the dam, was caught and
put in PRISON." The minister concluded to
leave the incorrigibe youth"

THE LAND REFoRMERs FOR GEN. SCoTT.--
An important movement, says the Louisville
Journal, was made at the meeting of the Land
Reformers in New York city on the evening
of the 4th inst. In the State of New YORK,
the Land Reformers number sixteen thousand
votes nearly all of whom have heretofore
acted with the Democracy, but it seems they
are likely to do so no longer.
The meeting adopted the very strongest
series of resolutions against the Democratic
party to be carried ous in the event that the
Free Homestead Bill shall not pass the pre-
sent Democratic Congress. The New York
Herald, now the most Jealous Locofoco paper
in that city, evinces alarm and wrath at the
movement 1t says that "the Land Reform
ers know very well that the Democratic Sen
ate will not pass the bill, and their intention
is undoubtedly to east their votes for General
Scott and secure his election"

SHOCKING OCCURRENCE. The Caddo (La.)
Gazette SAYS that several shocking murders
have recently been committed in the vicinity
of Natchitoches. A white woman whose
name was not given, was found murdered in
her own house, and on the next day, in the
same house, or on the same place, two negroes
were murdered, and on the following day, or
a few days afterwards,a white man, whose
name we did not learn, was found not far
from the same house with his tongue cut out
He cannot write, and at last accounts ne had
not been able to afford any clue to the per-
petrator of the savage act. The whole mat
ter is enveloped in the most profound mystery.

Gov. JONES AT NrAGARA.-The editor of
the Boston Atlas gives the following beautiful
and complimentary notice of the speech of
Hon. ]. C. JONES, at the Niagara celebration:
One of the most impressive scenes Of the
Convention. and one of the most impressive
md GRAND we have ever witnessed, was the
scene i'm the grove on Tuesday night, when
Gov. Jones made his speech. The place Sc
lectcd was n perfect natural ampitheatre,
covered with beautiful grove of trees, free
from undcrbrush. Here were seated some
twenty thousand freemen. Lanterns were
hing here and there on the bOugbs of the
trees, TO light the scene. Governor Jones
was in fine voice, and excellent spirits. We
have often heard him speak before but never
with so much power and effect. He appeared
70 have complete control of the audience, they
kent their ewes fixed upon him the whole
time. and their attention never abated; and rs
he Denoted, with his rich and glowing lam
puoue. the great services of Gen Scott to his
country, of his bravery, his wisdom, his hui
manity, and great public experience, the
crowd would be us silent MS the dead who
sleep on the other side of the river; nothing
would be heard but the fine, full utterance Of
the orator, and the deep, firm roar of tho
mighty cataract, which was sending forth its
sublime, unendng music within few yards
of the living mass an anthem for the living,
who had come together to celebrate the battle,
and requiem for the brave dead who died
at Lundys Lane. -.
The speech was one which will long be re-
mcmbered twill tell as well in Tennessee
as il did mt Niagara. Tho orator was fire.
quently chcered and when he closed the
mass, with one accord, arose and gave nine
cheers for Jones and Tennessee. -sl

"THE BALL is ROLLING ON."-The Detroit
Tribune says that at Scott club formed last
week, not over twenty miles from Detroit,
twenty-three Democrats, who had up to that
time gone for the Democratic ticket, came
boldly forward and registered their names
among its list of members, and declared their
unalterabe determination TO vote for the hero
of Lundy's Lane, and to do all in their power
to promote his election, There are many
more who will follow their example. Amongst
the officers of the Detroit Scott club, we see
it stated, are three Of the most prominent
democrats in the State-General Williams
Colonel O'Calahan, and Major Kcarsley.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN OHo.-We
have before noticed the beautiful squabble in
which the harmonious" are engaged in the
Buck-eve State. The Cincinnati Times, q
strictly neutral paper, gives an epitome OF
their condition as follows:
Let's see! there is the fore side and hind
sde-the right side and the left side, the
inside and outside, and last, but not least, the
blind side of the Democratic party, and every
side is for itself, and against all the others.
