tueky South and West. The plot was dis
covered in time to prevent its ripening into
deeds Of rapine and blood, such as the
wronged and infuriated negro is alone ca
pable of.
The Missouri Democrat does not hesi-
tate TO attribute the frequency and increase
of the reported plots of the slave popula-
ton within the past year, ''to one great
cause which has more than all else encour-
aged and instigated them, and that is, the
baneful agitation of this slavery question,
by every demagogue in the Slave States,
who wishes to acquire transient noteriety."
II adds:
Sin Missouri, especially, have we felt the
effects of this slavery agitation and slavery
extension policy upon the part Of the nulli-
fication faction, who have sought to float
into power and office by continually excl
ting the passions finer, ,and provoking dis
cussion in regard to this theme, and we
venture to assert that in consequence of
that more slaves have been induced toes
cape from their masters, more desperate
resolutions have been put into their heads,
and more general security entailed upon that
species Of property within the past year,
than during any five years preceding
SHAREHOLDERS are but now beginning to
reap the 7baneful consequences Of the audi
ence which has been granted of late to
those debased politicians whose only stock
in trade was slavery propagandism. The
ferment excited in the minds of the masters
soon extended itself to the slaves--for all
who have lived in slaveholding communi-
ties know how eager every scrap of parlor
conversation, every excited harange on the
stump, OF loud-toned dispute in the streets
is treasured up by the negro and made the
burden ofkitchen comment during the hours
of the night. If no other evil had befallen
Missouri, and especially the slaveholding
population, this alone would be sufficient
ground to induce them to Danish these pes
tiferous politicians from their regard, and
visit upon them the full weight of their
eensure and condemnation. 'i -

Jefferson and Henry.

From volume containing the Private
Correspondence of Daniel Webster, Just
published, we select the following interest
ing items:
THOMAS JEFFERSON DESCRIBED By DANIEL
WEBSTER.
Mr.. Jefferson is now, December, 1924
between 81 and 80 above feet high, and
an ample, long frame, rather thin and spare.
His head, which is not peculiar in its shape,
is set rather forward on his shoulders; and
his neck being long, there is, when he is
walking or conversing, an habitual protru-
sion Of it. 1t is still well covered with
hair, which having been once red, and now
turning gray, is Of an indistinct sandy color.
His eyes were small, very light, and nov
neither brilliant nor striking. His chin is
rather long, but not pointed. His nose
small, regular in its outline, and the nos
trils a little elevated. His mouth is well
formed, and still filed with teeth: it is
strongly compressed, bearing an expression
of contentment and benevolence. His
complexion, formerly light and freckled,
now bears the marks of age and cutaneous
affection. His limbs are uncommonly long T;
his hands and feet very large, and his wrists
of an extraordinary size. His walk is not
precise and military, but easy and swinging.
He stoops little, not so much from age
as from natural formation. When sitting,
he appears short, partly from lounging
habit of sitting, and partly from the disp-o-
portionate length of his limbs.
His dress, when in the house, is gray
surtout coat, kerseymere stuff waistcoat,
with an under one faced with some material
of dingy red. His pantaloons arc very
long and loose, and precisely of the
same color as his coat. His stockings
are woolen, either white or gray; and his
shoes of the kind that bear his name. His
whole dress is very much neglected, but
not slovenl V. He wears common round
hat. His dress, when On horse back, is a
grey strait-bodied coat, and spencer of
the same material, both fastened with large
pearl buttons. When we first saw him. he
was riding; and, in addition to the above
articles OF apparel, wore round his throat a
white knit woolen tippet, in the place of
cravat, aud black velvet gaiters under his
pantaloons. His general appearance iudi-
Gates an extraordinary degree of health, vi
vacity and spirit. His sight is still good,
for he needs glasses only in the evening"
His hearing is generally good, but num-
Der of voices In animated conversation con-
fuse it. i,.. r. .,-.. -..-5 =.
Mr.. Jefferson rises in the morning rs soon
as he can see the hands Of his clock, which
is directly opposite his bed, and examines
his thermometer immediately, as he keeps
regular meteorological diary. He en-
ploys himself chiefly in writing till break
fast, which is at nine, From that time I'll

Fulton House. And the marriage cere
mony was to have taken place last night
Ii We were disposed to moralize at thi:
point we might chose two subjects-tht
Importance of '.blood" in free America, and
the marvellous facility with which free
Americans can distinguish that same
'blood" in noble visitors. Alas for them
however--but the sequel will explain.
Yesterday Mr.. Perchment's Lawyel
| finished the deed, and Mr. D., documents
in hand, waited upon his lordship, for the
check upon Messers. Jones d Co., for SIT,
coo, But his lordship was cut of funds
and could not pay him. So Mr.. Perch
ment waited upon Messers. Jones d Co.
and found they had never had a cent of hi;
noble lordship's money. In the space ola
shot half hour, what a change, the farm
was not sold, but he was! MIR Parchment
accordingly brought suit before the Mayor,
against Lord Arthur John for swindling,
and the warrants for his arres. We're placed
in the hands of the officers.
Unfortunately, his iordshiP had hired a
buggy from Mr.. Jacob Gardner, to go TO
RroWnstown. to return in time for the we'd
dino. He did not return, and it is sup
posed he seized the opportunity to seize
some country railway depot, and leave the
vicinity.
We sincerely sylnpathise with the bride
and her parents. The guests were invited,
the minister was in the parlor, the supper
was laid-Mr. Loughrey, jeweller, who
had advanced his lordship $50 in jewelry,
was to act as his groomsman, and he was
there. The police officers were there also,
to watch the arrival of his Iordship. But
his lordship disappointed all.
We presume we have not named half
fhe persons who have been victimized by
this precious scamp. A man named Bred
head, brakesman on the Central Road,
and an Englishman, was induced to loan
him 800, and go to Philadelphia to lift
Ell, 600 sterling, which he alleged was
lying there for him. Mr.. B. was to be
home at two O'Clock this morning. His
lcrdship also induced a simple Englishman
to act as his servant, and take care of his
hound-he had one Notwithstanding
the seriousness of one or two phases of this
occurrence, it is as whole the most
laughable affair We have ever heard of trans
piring in this city. The money losers
have not the least sympathy, and they
will be targets for ''roasting' for six mouths.
His Lordship's attorney was also deceived
b:i. rather had his eyes opened toward the
last. rsE --7W .r.LG
We have the pleasure of recording the
arrest of the titled gentlemen by officers
Hamilton and Wray, about halfpast ten
o'clock last night. They reached the sta
bic at that hour, and as soon as they saw
the police they ran, but they were so glo-
riously drunk-drunk as lords-that they
were soon overtaken. When taken to the
Mayors Office, $50 and gold watch were
found on Lord Arthur John. Both were
committed for a hearing to-day. In the
police Office they still retained their hateur.
My Lord said dictatorily me a
chair. The officer replied "you are old
enough to help yourself" So he did help
himself. ~
