Kr.Webster.

We publish, this week come account Of
the proceedings ol the great meeting held
on Friday night, in the city of Now York,
for the purpose Of presenting tho name Of
Mr.. WEBSTER for the Presidency, subject
10 the decision of National Convention.
Public opinion seems TO have narrowed the
circle Of WnlG candidates TO three individ-
uals-Mr. FILLMoRB MIR. WEBSTER, and
General Scorr. It is thought that one of
these threo distinguished men will be the
VINO nominee; aud it sho uld be the aim
of all good WnIcs to cultivate such rcla-
tons among tho friends of these respective
candidates as will enable them 10 unite cor
| liaiy in support of the individual who may
| be the choice Of the convention. With
these views, VIC canno. but regret 10 see the
language that has been held by ono or Two
WnIG journals in regard TO Gen. Scorr,
and Mr., FiLLMoRE. When Wing news
paper undertakes 10 say that neither Gen.
Scorr nor Mr.. FILLMORE can be elected
under any contingency. or that whilst any
other Wing than Mr. FILLMORE would
certainly carry New York, any ono of the
Democratic candidates would beat Mr.
FILLMORE in the State seventy or nm hund>
red thousand votes, we think the force Of
party obligations and party fidelity is ems
tirely overlooked. We believe that no man
can be nominated by the National Wing
Convention who will not receive tho eniiro
WnIG vote, whether tho nominee be Gen.
Scott, Mr.. Webster, or Mr.. Fillmore.
A more scandalous charge was never
brought against party than is conveyed
in the allegation that Mr.. Fillmore, il tho
nominee Of the Wing Convention, will be
deserted by seventy or an hundred thou'
sand Wings. il is we'll that the party are
forewarned of The treason conlemI lated 'in
a contingency" lit is true that We have
seventy thousand men in our ranks capable
OF this " contingent basenass, lei us know
who they are, and let them stay away from
convention by whose action they do not
intand TO be bound.
So far from there being seventy thousand
naseenI traitors TO The convention in tho
Wing ranks, we venture to say that tho
names cannot be given Of ten " higs Of any
influence or consideration in tho State OF
New York who will nyow that they purpose
to withhold their votes from MIR. Fillmore, n
| he should be The nominee of the convention
or from Gen. Scott, or from Mr.. Webster.
1t is perfectly well known to tho country
that these three gentlemen are all WhiSs
alike-ihat they agree in opinion on tho
questions Of immediate political interest
and that no good intrinsic reason exists why
a Wing who can vote for ono Of them shod
voio against any other of the three who
should on full consultation and deliberatior
bo presented as the candidate of the con
vnrion.-l lyahiagso. R.pu6hc.

tho habit Of improving their time in this re,
spoct Those residing on farms or little
out of village, are moro likely 10 make a
wise improvement of their long winter, eve
nngs and observation goes far to establish
the fact tha. by far the greatest number oil

probably obtained the rudimcn,s Of tbeil

lion one instance. In passing through tho
small but beautiful town OF Cornwall. which
| contains less than twelve hundred inhabi-
lants, with village containing some ball
dozen houses, embracing the pretty church
and parsonage, it was stated to me that about
seventy young men had been libcrsly edu-
Gated from this town who had done honor
10 the State both al homo and abroad. Here
tho Hon. Slas Wright pursued his col.cai-
ate studies, though native Of the adjoining
town Of Salisbury, and his father drew wood
into tho village of Middlobury to pay his tu>
ition. There is no place in the "widc, wide
world" so we'll adapted TO the early education
of our youth as a good Substantial New
England farmers fircsidc, and among these
the 6residcs OF Vermont are sccond TO no
other; and tho feeling alluded to ought to
bo discarded by class who arc better siiu>
atci 10 ercite than indulge envy. A resi-.
dcnco Of many years in cities has satisfied
me upor this point, and anything, whatever
it may be, and newspapers and public Ice
lures ore perhaps the most common means,
which awaken interest," or call forth a taste
for intellectual culture, is public benefit,
and where our civil liberty depends so much
upon the general intelligence Of our citizens
these influences should be widely din'used
The Teachers Institutes arc OF this class
though it may be the case with many farm
crs, as with o brother Of mine who has an
only son, that they are afraid some other
calling may prove more attractive il q
TASTE for learning is acquired, but in thi:
country there is little danger on this account
as the highest ambition Of our business ant
professional men is TO retire TO farm tC
spend the evening of their days. The Gov
crnor Of Massachusetts in hin late Messag,
says-"Our own government had its foun
dation in general intelligence, aud has beer
preserved by an universal system of cduca
ton. Tho last returns show that tho poo
pie Of this State raised by taxation the sun
of ninc hundred and fifteen thousand dol
lars over the appropriations of the precedin;
year. Tho Secretary Of tho Board Of Edu

in hourishing condition. There is no rea

BURIED ALIvE.-Plny mentions the case
of a young mau Of high rank, who having
expired somo time, as i, was tho'i was plac-
ed upon the funeral pile. The hca, Of the
flames revived him, but he pcrishcd before
his friends could rescue him. The great
anatomisl, Vesa.ius, had tho unspeakabIe
misfortune 10 commence the dissection OF

happy was the fate Of the Abbo Provost,
who fell 10 an apoplectic fit, but recovered
his conciousress-too late under ,he

operator had scarcely penetrated into tho

Returning partially 10 his senses, he had

one OF our journals is recorded the strange.

The editor OF the Rochester Advertiser,

tho sun above and tho warmth OF tho earth

the fruit TO lio upon, was told that the na>

The fine flavor oi the fruit was dependant

the mere external heat OF the sun. Care
has 10 be taken, however, that the frui, does
not get wet while undergoing this process.
But as il seldom rains during tho summer
or vintage in this country, it is very rarely
that the fruit has to be taken up before i. is
dry.

Conversion of a Democrat.

The most bigoted and unreasonable party
man ever met with, was Jack D., now
a prosperous and influential attorney ia
South--couniy, in This State.
At the hour of which | am writing, he
was red-hot Democrat, and his chief pleas
ure seemed TO consist in making the fact as
notorious as possible. His friends and ac-
quaintanees, with one consent, pronounced
Jack bore, and his politics nuisance !
but with stranger the Thing was essentially
different. Seized by the buttons at the mo-
ment of introduction, Jack would aslonish
him by a rapid rehearsal Of tho articles OF
his political creed-branch out into inermi-
nable rhapsody Of the manifest destiny Of
the great progressive party-and, il the vic
tim was unusually passive, wind up with an
eulogy on the great II did" as the embod-
ment of his peculiar opinions, in conse-
queree the greatest man Of tho age.

The paIrint and HOsL.

Our friend BARRIE Il, spending editor OF
the Branion Post, occupies nearly four col
umns of that papers last issue in an attempt
to "use up" Major Eastman, OF the Vermont
Patriot. 1t seems that the Post of the 9th OF
May, after s.tting fort h, at length, the resolu-
tons under which it and they had acted since
the notable 3lst Of May, 1919, put certain per-
tinent inquiries to Messrs. EASTMAN, THOMAS
and CAIN. asking them chow they could consis~
tently support candidates for President and
Vice President who repudiate and denounce
the principles of Those resolutions; or no W
they could consistently ask other democrats to
support such candidates p; to which the Major
somewhat pertly replies. Why, Mr.. Baroer
do you talk of consistency to Il reHg0ds from
the old democracy! Consistency has ever been
and no doubt ever will be, stranger than clion
10 that party, considered collectively or indi'
yidually. Power-not "cousistency"-i and
has been its aim You and the democracy
coalesced to beat the Wings. In that you have
failed. Why, then, complain OF democrats whc
are now trying to reinstate themselves in their
old party ranks 4? We think you have the best
of the argument yet, as TO the result OF TINS
quarrel, we feel degree of composure very
similar to that of the sold woman" during the
