Mr.. Webater.

We publish, this morning, full account of
the proceedings Of the great meeting held on
Friday night, in the city of New York, for the
purpose of presenting the name Of Mr.. WEE
sTER for the Presidency, subject to the decision
of National Convention. Public opinion
seems to have narrowed the circle of WIG
candidates to three Individuality FILLMORE,
Mr.. WEBSTER, and General ScoTT. 1t is
thought that one of these three distinguished
men will be the WING nominee and it should
be the aim of all good WHIGs to cultivate such
relations among the friends of these respective
candidates as will enable them to unite cor
daily in support of the individual who may be
the choice Of the convention. With these
views, we cannot but regret to see the language
that has been held by one or two WING jour
nails in regard to General ScoTT and Mr.. FIJI
MORE. When 4 Wing newspaper undertakes
to say that neither General SCoTT nor Mr.
FILLMORE can be elected under any contin-
gency, or that whilst any other Wing than Mr.
FILLMORE would certainly carry New York.
any one. of the Democratic candidates would
beat Mr.. FILLMORE in the State seventy or an
hundred thousand votes, we think the force
Of party obligations and party fidelity is en-
tirely overlooked 81 We believe that no man
can be nominated by the National Wing Con-
vote, whether the nominee be General ScorT,
Mr.. WEBSTER, or Mr.. FILLMORE.
A more scandalous charge was never brought
against party than is conveyed in the allega
ton that Mr.. FILLMORE, if the nominee of the
Wing Convention, will be deserted by seventy
or an hundred thousand WINGS. 1t is well
that the party are forewarned Of the treason
contemplated "in contingency" If it is true
that we have seventy thousand men in our
ranks capable Of this " contingent baseness,
away from convention by whose action they
do not intend to be bound.
So far from there being seventy thousand
nascent traitors to the convention in the VINO
ranks, we venture TO say that the names cannot
be given of ten WINGS Of any influence or con-
sideration in the State Of New York who will
avow that they purpose to withhold their votes
from Mr.. FILLMORE, if he should be the nomi-
nee Of the convention-or from General ScoTT,
or from Mr.. WEBSTER. 1t is perfectly well
known to the country that these three gentle
men are all WINGS alike-that they agree in
opinion on the questions of immediate political
interest-and that no good intrinsic reason ex-
lists why Vino who can vote for one Of them
should vote against any other of the three who
should on full consultation and deliberation be
presented as the candidate Of the convention.

LEGEND.

On little Island embosomed in the
pure waters of lake Horizon, the ira
dition of the Indians of eastern New
York said there was a spring which
bubbled up into basin in the rock,
through a small fissure in its bottom.
This spring had marvellous properties,
and when it filled and ran over its
brim, which was only on every full
moon, the Indians sought its magic
influence. Lovers drinking there
knew no more the pangs Of jealousy,
for the waters conferred faith and con-
stancy; enemies drinking together be-
came friends, and the timid when they
had once tasted the magic fountain be-
came brave. But man, whether civil
ized or savage, never makes proper
use OF the blessings bestowed upon
him by kind Providence. Jealous
lovers preferring to nourish their sus-
picions, no longer sought its waters
arm in arm, but went singly the war
rior tasted alone to obtain nerve for
more deadly conflict with his enemy /;
and at length when several Of the old
men Of the nation were sitting near
the spring in its mystic flow, voice
was heard to come from its bosom
which told them that in consequence
of their neglect of the good waters they
would flow never more and that as q
punishment upon the tribes, another
water should be made known to them
which they should seek and drink
with avidity, but the effect Of which
should be the reverse Of the benefcent

DEATH OF JOEL r. poINsITT.

Joel r. Poinsett, one Of the most
distinguished men of South Carolina
died at Stratesburg, in that State, on
the 18th December, in the 73d year
Of his age. He had been very feeble
for some years, from decay Of the
lungs, which was the cause Of his
death. The following sketch of his
life is from the Charleston Mercury:
Few of the public men Of this coun-
try exhibit a life 30 checkered with
shifting scenes, stirring adventures and
varied positions as Mr.. Poinsett. In
early life he passed some years in
traversing many countries of Europe,
and finally penetrated far into the in
terror of Asia, at time when such an
adventure was more perilous and ro-
mantle than it is now. Subsequently
he took a aleading part in settling the di-
plomatic relations of the United States
with the new republics of South Amer
iCa and Mexico.
On the election of Mr.. Van Buren
to the Presidency, he was appointed
Secretary of War, in which Office he
continued until the close of that ad-
ministration. Here he was principal
ly distinguished for introducing the
flying artillery into the army, and for
devising scheme for embodying and
training the militia, which in militia
ry point of view we always regarded
as very sagacious measure; but
which not only was not adopted, but
was made one of the most fruitful sour
ces of invective against the admins
tration, and with so much effect, that
Mr.. Van Buren in his fright took the
first opportunity Of disowning and de-
nouncing it.
Since that time he has lived in re.
tirement, though occasionally taking
part, through the press, in the discus
sion Of leading public questions.
The natural turn of Mr.. Poinsett's
temper seems to have been a military
life. He had great chivalry Of char
acter, a love of hazardous adventure,
and extraordinary coolness and resour
ces in q trying emergency. In the
army, we cannot doubt, he would have
won a much more brilliant reputation
than he gained in civil life. He seems
to have been deferred from the pro-
fession by the early fse5leness of his
constitution.
We can say little to characterize
Mr.. Poinsstt in private life, never
having enjoyed his personal acquain-
tance. But, beyond question, he was
a public spirited citizen, an honorable
man, and greatly beloved BY those
who intimately knew him.

NEW DEED OF BLOOD.

We find the following strange incl
dent recorded by Paris correspon'
dent of the N. Y. Tribune
An interesting and thus far success
full experiment upon the TRANSMISSION Of
blood, was made some days ago at the
Hotel Dieu of Lyons. A woman was
brought into the hospital who had been
seized with violent hemorrhage, the
consequence of a premature delivery
Her condition seemed desperate; it
presented all the symptoms Of the ago
ny that follows great loss Of blood
entire absence of color in the skin, pa
ralysis of the limbs, almost complete
blindnes, difficulty of comprehension,
extreme weakness, but extraordinary
rapidity of the pulse. Death appear
ed imminent, inevitable.
Doctor Delorme suggested transfu-
sion. This was at first combated by
the other physicians as offering no
chance Of success, but was finally As.
sented to, as the case being a despe-
rate one, it could do no harm even if
it did no good. One of the young as
pirants residing in the hospital, offer
ed to furnish the blood necessary TO
the operation. A syringe was i'm
mersed in warm water, and kept there
till it became of a temperature little
higher than that Of blood in circula-
ton. The proper vein in the arm Of
the sufferer was then opened, and a
fine canal, or tubs, was introduced to
some length. The other end Of the
tube was then fitted to the syringe,
which was enveloped in warm towels,
and in which was the necessary guam
tity of pure human blood. The ope-
rator then gently forced into the veins
Of the dying woman the revivifying
fluid
At this moment, as she afterwards
declared, she felt . grateful warmth
spread over her body, without having
the reasoning faculty strong enough to
trace it to any cause. Soon after, she
recovered in great degree her eye
sight. A few hours later a reaction
manifested itself so violently, that the
physicians were seriously alarmed
1t seemed as if death might result as
we'll from too much, too active vitality,
as from vitality too much exhausted
and enfeebled. But calming potion
soon diminished this unnatural action,
and the patient has since been regu-
larly improving. The last intelli-
gence from Lyons states that il is now
hardly possible that relapse can oc-
cur, and that the cure may be set
down as complete.
Where will modern science stop its
encroachments upon the domain Of the
unknown and the impossible? This
woman Of Lyons WAS very nearly as
much raised from the dead as was the
son Of the Widow of Main.
