Cool. very.

The editor of the Tribune of this city-a
paper which has always manifested spirit of
hostility to Mr.. Webster and the series of
measures known as the "Compromisc, and
consequently highly elated with the nomna-
nation of Gen. Scott-is one of the coolest cal
culators we ever knew. "The formal mani
festo against the whg nomination, by Toombs,
Stevens, & Co.. he says, '',cas 10 be erpect-
ed.''
This is not the first demonstration of the
kind we have seen from them. The Loco Fo-
co party have been able TO count on this kind
| of assistance from them for years, and it is get
ting to be part of the Loco tactics, a real
Democratic principle, 10 have such reserve
hanging round, throwing clubs at the wings,
and when 1t is thought best, come out, and
claiming to be wings, utter solemn protest
against the party. Again, supposing this TO
be the first time they had bolled, il would be
of no consequence. We never have counted
on the electoral vote of their States We can.
and intend 10, and have ever expected to elect
Gen. Scott without them. Their boiling will
do the wing party no more harm there, than
the slzzle which the Eastern Times is irving
to get up about it here. The whole operation
cannot defeat the election of Scott"
Well, perhaps it carnot. ..-
But how the editor of the Tribune can Gig
ure up the election of Gen. Scott without the
aid Of the entire wing party, and in the face of
the operations of serenteen wing members of
Congress 'who are opposed to Gen Scott, and
will do all they can in an honorable way to ac-
compish his defeat,' is a conclusion which he
must have arrived at on some ne1v and uncom-
mon whig mode of calculation laid down by
that wing of the party to which he belongs
However, his political sagacity seems to be
fully equal to any emergency; and having
buried the godlike with his ''free soil pickaxe"
perhaps, with the assistance of his co-laborer
the Mirror, he may be able to bury these recre-
ant wings i'll the same grave. Let MS see who
these gentlemen are, who are of no consequence
In the estimation of our quondam friend. The
list, we believe, is as follows Hon F. S.
Martin, and Hon. A. M. Schermerhorn, of
New York James Abercrombie, of Alabama;
Charles Allen, of Massachusetts Edward C.
Cabell, of Florida; Charles Faulkner, of
Virginia; Meredith p Gentry, of Tennessee !;

ment of a general election. 1t was feared

BURNING OF CATHOLIC CoLLEGE.-About
four O'Clock Thursday afternoon, the College
of the Holy Cross in Worcester (Cathoic) was
discovered to be on fire IN the third story, and
the building was destroyed with the exception
Of the East wing. The College Library was
saved without material injury. Loss from 49,
900 to $5o,00O-not insured
1t was beautiful building upon an eleva-
ton, about one mile from Worcester. The
professors, who were Jesuits, were distinguished
for sound learning, and great requirements ;
and the students, who averaged about 100 in
number, were not surpassed by any in their in
dustrious habits, scholastic standing, and NOR
al character. 1t had been in operation for
eleven years, and doubtless will be re- built i'm

A Police OFFICER MoRTALLY WOUNDED
BY RoBBER. Early Friday morning, a
robber broke into the house of Israel Martin.
Fall River, and stole about $500 in cash.
An alarm was given, and officer G. Manches.
ter started in pursuit. When close upon him
and about to arrest him, The robber suddenly
turned, drew pistol, aimed it at the officer,
and fired. Two balls took effecI in the breast
OF the officer, inficiing mortal wounds The
robber then fled about quarter of a mile and
took refuge under barn. He was pursued
by pose of citizens, who were obliged TO
cut away the barn door TO capture the robber.
We learn from Fall River This morning, that
officer Manchester, who was shot there yes
terday morning, in the attempt to arrest a
robber uamcd James ClougI, is still alive,
aud some faint hopes are entertained Of his
recovery. The Fan River News says Tia.
Clough belongs in Topsham, Me-, is IS wears
of age, and was formerly in the employ of
Jacob Vining, Fall River, in the Oil CARPET
Mandatory. After his arrest, there being
no property in his posse ssion, search was
made tor the stolen money, which was
found in a bag under the barn where be bad
secreted himself. Beside The money stolen
from MIR. Willard, there were in the bag be-
tween four and FIVE hundred dollars, one or
two watches, and some bullets that fitted his

Gubernatorial Correspondence.

The following correspondence from the two
leading candidates for Governor, is the result
of the action of late Temperance Convention.
The letters of Gov. Hubbard and Mr. Cros-
by, remarks the editor of the Argus, are il no
table contrast TO each other Whatever else
the enemies of the Governor have alleged
against him, they never have charged him with
concealing his sentiments, or attempting 10
show two faces on any question. He has al
ways given his opinions, when asked for or
when he deemed it his duty, boldly and square,
ly He has never labored to torture our strong
and nervous Anglo-Saxon language into Tai
leyrandism. This manly, straightforward Pc
culiarity is manifest in the letter we now pub
fish. There is no effort 10 satisfy both sides
on the mooted question. He ''toes the mark"
promptly and iearlessly. el
Mr. Croshy's answer manifests more of the
politician. 1t was penned TO suit both sides,
and may mean anything or nothing Look at
his reply TO the first interrogaory. He is op-
posed TO the repeal of the Liquor Law-ift IF
what! Why, if the committee mean by it 'sas
consequence the removal of all restrictions
upon the trafic," Mr. Crosby might as well
have said, if the committee mean ''as conse-
qnence' the sinking of Fort Prebe into the
depth of the sea. The committee meant moth
ing of the kind supposed by Mr. w. G. Would
be-Governorl Crosby, and Mr. Crosby being a
very shrewd and intelligent gentleman, knew
ii. How he mnst have chuckIed in his sleeve
as he read it over Now we defy anybody to
tell us whether, taking his letter as the guide,
Mr. Crosby is or Is not in favor Of the repeal of
The Liquor Law. 1t would be, also, quite as
difficult TO ascertain whether he is or not in ia
vor of its modification. a.. .s14t.-1 sifse

of this great and good man, TO this country,
has, we trust, awakened a deep sympathy in

WORTH. of this city, one of our oldest and most
respected ship masters, but recently of the
firm of Sewall & Bosworth. He died suddenly,
but after protracted illness of several months,
which he bore with much fortitude and Chris
tan resignation. The more immediate course
of his death, was bleeding from the stomach,
which procceded,-as was ascertained by a
post norton examination PERFORMED by Doctors
Payne and Young of this city,-from an extern
sve cancerous condition of the stomach, which
was suspected and foretold by his attending
physician.
Capt Bosworth will oc long remembered in
this, and extensively in the commercial com
munity, as an Intelligent and active ship mas
ter, kind and indulgent husband and father,
