We have many excellent Schools in Washing

for improvement, many of our youth 90 abroad

the vicinity of this city should comprise many

it is, our schools are only the nurseries for the
colleges of other regions. We have some high
schools, however, that may soon grow to higher
estate A few steps more will carry them to 1t;
but our citizens should give every possible en-

MIR. Webster.

The Montgomery (Ala) Gazette "a Democratic
paper) has the following:
"sHe has personal vanity enough to damn
seven successive administrations That is what
Rev. Mr.. Brownlow, of Tennessee, published Of
General Scott. Mr.. Webster has recently rati-
fed the sentiment by appointing Mr.. Brownlow
publisher of the United States laws by au-
thority."
The Gazette is correct as to the fact, but prob
ably in error concerning the motive. Mr.. Web
ster has been too long the champion of Wing
principles, has too long received the homage OF
the Wing party and been defended by it, has too
long aided in giving direction to it, to so far set
at defiance the behest of its authorized Conven-
ton as to encourage opposition to the regular
nominee. A desire for his own Advancement is
one thing, and hostile opposition to Gen. Scott
another. The enemies of Mr.. Webster are hardly
authorized to speak for him in this matter.

Fast Steamers.

In all the racing we have ever seen, many Of
the passengers urged on the competition. The
Philadelphia Ledger says that the newspapers
are discussing the question whether it is not time
for passengers to withhold their "plate' from the
fast captains, who boast of making the shortest
passage on record"
The New York Mirror says that it takes fifty
more tons day (but this is Incredibly to cross
the Atlantic in nine than it does in twelve days
Speed, says the Ledger, which is the result Of
mechanical improvement, either in the build Of
vessels or in the driving machinery, is a general
benefit, and the proper means by which it is &C
CURED should receive encouragement; but that
which arises from forcing steamer, by straining
her machinery, and endangering her safety, and
that of those who entrust their lives in her, is not
only to be discouraged, but is deserving Of legal
punishment.

At political meeting in Boston on Tuesday
evening, we are informed by the papers, one Of
the orators urged his friends to go forward, from
now until election day, "with the Constitution in
one hand, the American flag in the other, and
Democracy in their mouths" This would prove
q fatiguing business, and would tend to raise
the price of bunting and constitutions, whatever
effect it might have on the current Democracy.
Our adversaries grow eloquent in their despera-
ton, and become prolific in figures but the poll
tician would cut queer figure who would run up
and down the world in the manner described.

These journals keep up a fierce controversy on
the subject of the New Boston speech of General
Pierce, in which he said that he loathed slavery,
regarded it as a moral Vrong, &c. Whether Gen.
eral Pierce really does entertain such sentiments
or not, his friends of course may entertain some
doubt; but that, on that and other occasions, he
80 declared, the Republic has certainly put beyond
doubt or cayil. Indeed, the Unions own columns
bear testimony to the fact.
The positive testimony published yesterday and
to-day in the Republic is sufficient to overpower
the negative testimony of all creation besides.

The whole history Of this case appears simply
to be that Kaine had difficulty with his land
lord, James Bale, in Ireland, and fred upon
him; but, failing to kill him, escaped to Ameri-
CO. The British government sent an officer after
him, under the extraditon clause of the Ashbur-
treaty and Judge Belts, Of the United States
Supreme Court, decided that he shouldbe sur
rendered but the Irish population have raised
money to contest the question in its every stage,
and they are at it in good earnest, with able law
yers to assist.

prevailed there for some two months, has entirely
disappeared.
am informed this morning, by several per-
sons from the surrounding country, that the ex-
cessive wet weather of the last several weeks is
beginning to impair, to some extent, the growing
crop of vegetables, particularly potatoes.
The revival of temperance in our town, which
noticed several weeks ago, appears to be in
creasing interest-from five to ten applicants are
being initiated into the Division Of the Sons at
every meeting On last Sabbath afternoon q
large concourse of persons assembled at the
market house, expecting to hear several addresses
on the subject by gentlemen of your city, but all
had to return home grievously disappointed.
The canal packet-boat President (steamer)
started yesterday afternoon for Harper's Ferry,
but broke one Of her pumps, and had to return.
She will leave again this afternoon.

cation from the Hon. d. L. Yulee, asking the
privilege of being heard at the bar of the Senate
upon his claim to the seat in the Senate, as q

that General Scott is splendid humbug. Some
words of disagreeable character passed between
him and Messrs. Cullom, and White Of Kentucky
superinduced by remarks of Mr.. Polk, which
threatened to, but did not, result in personal
collision.
Mr.. CuLLoM subsequently made personal ex-
PLANTATION, and advised his colleague (Mr. POLK

which he had this day been guilty, and at which

The Drayton and sayres Pardol


The Democratic newspapers of the South are
very severe upon this act, and denounce it IN I'M
measured terms: and indeed some OF them DO
not hesitate to denounce Mr.. Fillmore also. Ii
Mr.. Fillmore were our candidate for the Presi-
dency we suppose this act alone would DO reled
upon for his defeat in the South And this after
all the imploring of the South that we should
,,rasent n New Yorker instead of q Virginian for
their suffrages! Truly they are hard to please.
The amiable and gentlemanly Mr.. Fillmore is
not weathercock, to change and veer with every
passing breeze What he is now he always has
been. If any mistake has been made, 1T has
been by those gentlemen who Inexperienced
him. That they have Inexperienced General
Scott even more grossly we much regret. We
once heard remark from talented and gener-
Gus Georgian, who had received his education in
New England, to the following effect: elf you
show me q man who has been born and educated
where slavery does not exist, and who has never
made his home in its midst, and there learned its
necessity and practical workings, and yet whose
sympathies are with the institution, aoiU shoc
qou bad man % We offer no opinion upon the
accuracy of this declaration, except SO far as to
say, that were we jealous Of inroads upon the in
situations of the South, man of the South
would be the protector we would choose for
them. Acceding to abstract propositions in ia
vor Of guaranteed constitutional rights, is all
very well but, regarding slavery as blessing,
none know so well how to preserve it as they
who have enjoyed it; or, regarding it as curse,
none know so well where the shoe pinches as he
who wears it'll
