THE SUBSCRIPTION CANDIDATE. Some Of
Mr. Webster's friends in New York, made demon
stration in his favor. at Metropolitan Hall, on Fri
dayeveniag, A great flourish Of trumpets preceded
the event. Subscription papers were widely circu.
lated, and thousand procured to the call
Tor The meeting, which, with the names annexed,
was paraded in the city papers. 1t was supposed.
that, with all the effort, and with Wall street to
hack itup, something imposing would be DONE But,
after all, the farce Of nominating him the Pres
idency, was played to rather thin house. Hon.
Rufus Choaie, who had been engaged to "pile up
the agony did not make his appearance, and the
multitude were obliged content themselves with
dull speeches from Mr. GrinneI. Mr. Jas 5. Thayer,
and Recorder Tallmadge. We copy the following
notices Of the meeting, from the New York papers
Of Saturday:
"a The demonstration last night in favor of Mr.
Webster, owing doubtless To the inclemency Of the
weather, was not so large his friends had reason
to expect. The very large hall. however, which
had been secured for the meeting, quite half full

certainly as well dressed, orderly, and respectable
an assemblage as ever convened in city N. Y.

and il has turned out failure. Read our report Of
the meeting, the great Webster meeting. The sign,

by three one. II was like the cali Of spirits from
the Vastly deep;" they did not come. The affair
tame; the speeches prosy; the speakers
were ordinary; the enthusiasm was fiat; fat and
| heavy cold ckwheat cake; the whole concern,
which everybody had concluded would be splendid,
from the vast multitude expected, meagre, finn
sy, chilly, and threadbare; and went off like dull
play. badly performed to a thin house. IL such a
movement this, backed up by the combined forces
of Wall street, and intended as coup d'Hat for the
Presidency, thus ends in stale abortion, what the
prospects Of Mr. Webster against Scott and Fillmore
Seriously, it looks like the finishing stroke the
distinguished Secretary Of State. n. Y. Herald.
n The Webster Meeting last night, was not SO
large, nor so enthusiastic as had been expected A
good deal Of disappointment felt at the absence
Of Mr. Choae, the charm Of whose brilliant orstory
had no doubt drawn many the place. 1t seems
ident from this meeting, ii evidence were needed
thai Mr. Webster, with all the great qualities of his
intellect, and with the many admirers who delight tC

which rallies the masses TO his support. He is no
popular man, and can hardly hope TO be popular

% At a late fire in Cambridge, while the flames
were consuming the lower part of dwelling, and
threatening the whole building with instant destruc-
ton, Mr. Thomas G. Fay, merchant of Boston,
and boarder at the Brattle House, observed in the
upper story, a female and several children. With
out stopping for to consider the dangers of
an attempt to rescue them, he rushed through the
wreathlng smoke, and for brief space the greatest
anxiety prevailed in the crowd, for his safety. In a
moment more. he emerged from the burning building,
bearing the children in his arms, and followed by
the mother The entire upper part of the building
was IN moment after, enveIoped in flames. Such
an act bravery, displayed in the preservation of
human life, is worthy of more than simple news

Of our farmers lose and waste more

We think we hear some of our
farmers say, that we ore mistaken,
because, they keep their straw and
their cattle in yard, and make two
OF three hundred loads of manure in
year. True, but they lose forty
per cent. of this very manure, by i'm
proper management of it. General

back barns, with all the water from
the barn running through it for ninc
months. washing out twenty per cent.

MISCELLANEOUS,
A Few Thoughts OH Leap Year,


This is leap-year-a year which
hot only leaps over whole day in
the calendar Of time, but in which
the ladies are allowed to leap over
long.established conventional rules,
and ego i'm on their own particu-
lar and exclusive hook, and make
propositions for marriage to the
5terner sex. Without waiting to be
sued to, they themselves may sue,
not for breach of promise, but for q
real promise which when carried
out, will enable them to control, if
not wear pair of breeches. All the
laws which condemn ladies of ccr-
tain age, who have hearts in their
bodies, to wait until they are asked,
and conceal their love until econ
cealment, like the worm in the bud,
feeds on their damask Cheeks" are
null and void till the first of January
1853-abrogated and set at naught,
and their fair ones who have long
loved silently, may now give their
passion words, and the first time they
can catch their enamorate all alone,
ssa tale untold" which shall subdue
his hardened soul, and make him
Consent to walk thenccforth in those
silken bands so easily put on, and so
hard, so very hard to break. We
do not know that, as general thing,
the ladies have taken the advantage
of their prerogativc, but if they
choose, they may, and, for the sake
of that miserable class of humanity
the old bachelors-who live among
,is, warning examples of the utter
wretchedness Of "single blessedncss, -
we hope they will. The majority Of
the poor creatures are only single
because they can't help it; they
would all jump at the slightest
chance to better their forlorn condi.
tion,. and, had they spunk enough,
would have proposed themselves long
ago. Therefore, out of mere pity
for them, we hope the ladies will Ego
in and win"
Don't be afraid, ladies, the game
is in your own hands; you have been
trifled' with and hirtcd with, and held
in trembling suspense long enough;
now it is time enough to end your
suspense and their misery, by ma.
king honorable and, of course, NO
