of our most illustrious members, and the
American people have lost one OF their abiest

son Of Daniel Webster.

mourning and wear the usual badge for the space
Of thirty days.

Yesterday proved more favorable than we
were led to hope, from the constant rains of the
past few days. The morning was uslered in
with a comparatively clear sky, and judging
from what we saw and heard around US, the

tousness. The sun shown forth from time to

yeomenry Of the c,untry, to faithful discharge
of their duties at the polls. Thereby to dlspel
the cofroding influences of the deep laid fraud
sought to be perpetrated against the national
will, by the corrupt subterfuges Of most
unscrupulous enemy-the whig party.
As, was fully anticipated, tickets were in
copious supply, bearing the names Of Pierce g.
King, with the whig electors annexed. Who
but the enemy Of his country could be the per.
petrator, or participant in the perpetraiion of
such monstrous fraud upon the people, as that
which attempts to subvert the great bullwark of
our liberties, by the practice Of the foulest de-
ception and imposition upon the purity OF the
elective franchise. Who 10 the worse man in
moral point Of view, he who will impose false
vote upon the State, by swearing it through, and
thereby becoming perjurer, or he who, by the
deliberate circulation Of false tickets, rirtxaliy
puts his hand into the ballot box and steals
therefrom the honestly deposited vote of his
upright and confiding neighbor. The one is
peIiurer, the other AND both fit subjects
for the regimen OF penetentiary Both are
moral lepers alike, equally destitute Of every
dictate Of common honesty, equally abhorrent
in the sight of God and man. The usherers Of
such tickets as those to which we have alluded
should be ferretted out, and stamped with the
brand Of infamy, by being pointed to as the
deserving objects Of the lasting scorn and con.
tempt Of every honest man.
When we consider the means that are resort
ed to by corrupt members Of the whig party, IN
order to accomplish their ends, we need not be
surprised at the chasteming visitations Of an
ever watchful Providence, who on two recent
occasious 50 signally rebuk.d them in the very
zenith Of their triumph, by calling to himself
those whom such frauds had elevated into place

Scott's sandusl<y Speech.

The New York Herald, in commenting en- this
speech, says:
1t appers by the admissions, confessions, and
disclosures Of General Scott, in his Sandusky
after dinner speech, that after the conquest OF
Mexico, while he was at the head of the Ameri
can army, he decided that Mexico-which was
ready to fling itself, with all its wealth, all it's
lines, its riches its territory, and it's population
into The arms of this growing republic-should
be denied its prayers fur anne xatipD, and should
have its efforts rejected, thus assuming to him-
self the whole power Of the American govern
ment, President, Congress, and people, without
the slightest title or authority in him for snch
assumption. No imperial dictator OF France, "i
Russia, or Of Rome, ever dared to assume suci
power as General Scott did at that time, while a
the heard Of the American army in Mexlco.-
He had no right to determine the question o
Mexican anne xation which the leading Mexi
cans in that day proposed, through him, to the
American government and people. He wa,
deputed by his country to fight her battles, ant
not to determine, without authority and withou
law, what should be the issue and consequence
of the war between the two republics.
