RESOLVED. That it is with feelings of the deepest
grief that we have heard of the demise OF Daniel
Webster and in common with the rest of our fell
low-citizens, we lament this national loss and
sincerely mourn over the death of him, to whom
when the clouds were darkest, and the storm at
its height the whole nation looked as their great
pilot who should conduct the ship of state safely
over the raging bilows.
Resoiued further That though the death of the
last of the illusrious three who so long gave tone
and spirit to our councils, throws a dark gloom
DER our hearts, when we reflect that the last of
Americas Jewels has been torn from her bright
coronet by the Unsuitable hand of death, yet we
are somewha solaced by the thought that while
America weeps Ger Webster's broken column
erected DER his grave, yet at the same time she
plants by it the evergreen of immortality.
Resolved further, That although we members
of the two great political parties of this country
and fully believe in the necessity of the same, yet
we can, with hand and heart, unite IN paying fun
eraI honors to the memory of him who, whilst
the country was nenaced with intestine commo-
ton, and threatened with the dark terrors of fac
ton, dared to rise superior to party, and stand
forth as the representative four common country
ResoUed, That this Convention now adjourn, till
tomorrow morning, at 8 O'Clock.

more disastrous separation between this

to be forgotten that, while America was on

apeculiar value of her own. If we people

spirit of animosity, our hold upon India

render it most formidable ally, or most

determined that it shall be the latter.

Mr.. WEBSTER AND THE WHIG NoMINA-

rer, in an editorial in relation to Mr. Web
ster and Gen. Scott, says:
But whatever the extent of his { Mr.. Web
ster's) sufferings from the ingratitude Of his
countrymen, such was his devotion, to the
constitution, and to those great Wing prin-
ciples which he deemed essential to its sup
port, that but few days previous to his
death be dictated letter to five of his early
friends, Of which we were one. recognizing
the obligations of the Wing party to sustain
the nominee of the Baltimore Convention
even while he deprecated, as he ever has
done, the too frequent practice of elevating
military chieftains to the Presidency-a
practice which, harmless as yet, is fraught
with danger to the future; and which, there
fore, should not be perpetuated by preced-
ents which will. in time, exercise a danger
GUS influence upon the stability of republi-
can institutions. That letter, although die
tated from what proved to be bed of DEATH
and in full view of his responsibilities in this
world, and that upon which he has so speed
lily entered, was never signed. Its binding
influences, however, no one will dispute,
while Its wisdom, with Gods sanction, will,
we hope, be recognized in all future time
This corroborates the statement made by
the Commercial Advertiser, and will place
the great statesman in proper position be-
fore his Wing friends.

SINGULAR METHOD OF FINDING Drown
ED PERsoNs.-The London papers relate
that on Saturday, the 26th ult., an agricul-
tural laborer, named Solomon Dunford, was
drowned at West Cowes, Isle of Wight A
novel process was used for the recovery of
the body by one of the coast guards. On
Friday morning, the circumstance being
made known to him, he assured the BY
ISLANDERS that eff the party was drowned in
the neighborhood he would discover the body
by means Of a new loaf of bread, in which
should be deposited three ounces of quick
silver, when the loaf would float till it rested
over where the body might lay However
extraordinary it may appear, the experiment
was tried, and on the loaf becoming station
ary boat hook was put overheard beneath
it, and brought up the body. The man
states that this is the fourth instance in which
the experiment has been tried by him with
success.
