Sovereignty.
In order to show exactly where the K. N. par
ty, as National party stand upon the Slavery
question, we publish the following plank, which
was substituted instead of the 18th section
18th. The recognition of the right of the native.
born and naturazed citizens of the United States,
permanently residing in any territory thereof, to
frame their constitution and laws. and to regu-
late their domestic and social affairs in their own
mode, subject only to the provisions of the Fed
eral Constitution and the privilege of admission
into the Union whenever they have the requisite
population for one Represent alive in Congress,
Prociaed always, that none but those who are
citizens of the United States, under the constitu-
ton and laws thereof, and who have fixed res
idencc in any such Territory, ought to partici-
pate in the formation of the constitution, or in
the enactment of laws for said territory.
This section is nothing more nor less than the
Douglas and Pierce doctrine of Popular Sove
regnty," and if there is any, the slightest differ
ence between the X. N. and the Administration
parties, on the slavery question, it is not percep-
tible to the naked eye.
Should Mr.. Fillmore consent to stand upon
the platform prepared for him, he will occupy
Substantially the same position as the nominee
of the Cincinnati Locofoco Convention. Those
who vote for Mr.. Fillmore will endorse the 4. n.
doctrines and Popular Sovereignty" while those
who vote for the Locotoco nominee will vote for
Popular Sovereignty alone.
Shonld the Cincinnati Convention nominate a
respectable candidate, like Mr. Buchanan, his
chances ofgetting the votes of the friends of free
dom who oppose the further extension OF slavery,
will be at least rs good those of Mr.. Fillmore.
Mr. Ellmore's associations are probably better
than those of Mr. Buchanan or any person likely
to be nominated at Cincinnati. The nominee
of that Convention would probably be tramme-
led in regard to improvement Of rivers and har
bors, and like Pierce, veto appropriations for
this object, while Mr.. Fillmore will not probably
be under any such restraint These considera
tons are in favor of Mr.. Fillmore. And as we
regard the rest of the platform as obsolete, we
should, were such choice forced upon US, vote
for Fillmore and Donnelson But we never
shall be compelled to decide in that way. We
shall, in common with the Anti-Nebraska party
of the country, have an opportunity of voting
for candidate who represents our opinions,
and whose chances will be good against the field.

kAaEHAaEHA AND HIS FRIENps.-The latest
advices from the Sandwich Islands bring the very
important intelligence that. yankee Sullivan"
was the constant companion of Kamehameha ".
both in boxing and good living. Mrs. Sullivan
was in the royal box at the circus, and had caus-
ed the exclusion of the ambassadors both of
France and England. When the king OF the
Sandwich Islands becomes the companion of Sui
Ivan, and Mrs. Sullivan gains popularity at
Court which is rapable of expelling the embas-
sailors Of France and England from the royal
box at the circus, the Buffalo Express thinks it
is able to discover degeneracy which will in
some degree account fora decrease of the pop
ulation in those Islands from two hundred thous-
and to seventy thousand in seventy years.

been recommended by the pastor of his parish
| The pastor having been once in Berlin, was con.
sidered in his part of the world, an oracle in ell
matter connected with town life
| The inn was, however found at last and after
| a frugal supper and good nights rest, our friend
| arose ready to hope and believe everything from
the mysterious note which he started forth to
deliver Immediately after breakfast.
Obliged to ask his way to Marshal Grumb-
kow's he was amused and surprised at the aston
ishment depicted on the countenanccs of those
persons of whom he made inquiry; as if they
would say, What business can you have with the
Marshal Grumbkow'
The house, was, however, at last gained, and
having delivered his missive to a servant, Helm.
rich awaited the result in the hall In few
minutes the servant returned and requested him,
in the most respectful manner, TO follow him to
the Marshal's presence. Arriving there he was
received most courteously, and the Marshal
made many inquiries to his past life and future
prospects; requesting to be told the name of the
village or town in which he had last been re-
siding; the school in which he had been educa
ted at what inn he was living at Berlin, and so
forth But still, no allusion was made to the
note or the writer Of it. The interview lasted
about twenty minutes, at the end of which time
the Marshal dismissed him desiring that he would
call again on that day fortnight.
Heinrich employed the interval in visiting the
lions of the town. There was grand review
of the troops on the kings birthday; and like
loyal subject our friend went to have a rever-
ent stare at his majesty, whom he had never
seen. At one point of the review the king stop
ped almost opposite to Heinrich, and then was
suggested to him, as the reader probably sus-
poets, that after ALL he must have seen that face
somewhere before. Was 1t the friend who |
hailed him in the muddy road 2 Impossible - |
How should king be travelling at that time of |
day. At any rate, it vexed him to think that |
he had not treated the gentleman in the coach in
a very ceremonious manner. He had thrust the |
finder at his nose, and cried Puff away"
At last the time appointed for his seconed Wis |
it to the marshal arrived. His reception was
again most favorable. The marshal begged him |
to be seated at the table at which he was writ |
ing, ard proceeded at the same time to bust |
ness. Unlocking drawer, and bringing forth /
a small bundle OF papers, he asked Heinrich as /
be drew them forth, one BY one, If he knew whose
the various superscriptions were. !

The fertilization bill was passed. ,5.5
The bill providing for new Notifications was
postponed. H#r
Mr.. Summers proposition, directing the Com
mitiee on Foreign Relations to consider the ex-
pedency of some act of legislation TO effectuay
abrogate the treaty with Denmark and repudiate
the payment of the sound dues, was then con-
sidered. The bill to be reported is to be concur
red IN by both parties. s...fE Il
Mr.. Sumner agreed that the notice given by
the President, by direction of the Senate in ex-
eeutive session, for the termination of the treaty
was defective, inaslnuch as treaties arc part of
the supreme law of the land, and can only be alb
rogated by the action OF both houses of Congress
and approved by the President.
Messrs Seward, FeSsenden, Coilamer Critten-
den and Stewart sustained Mr.. Summers views.
Messrs Mason, Toueey and Cass opposed
them. s5l

WOLVES.

Wherever several of the larger
wolves associate together for mis-
chief, there is always numerous
train of smaller ones TO follow in the
rear, and act as auxiliaries in the
work Of destruction. Two large
wolves are sufficient to destroy the
most powerful horse, and seldom
more than two ever begin the assault,
although there may be a score in the
gang. It is no less curious than
amusing to witness this ingenious
mode of attack. If there is no
snow, or but a small quantity on the
ground, two wolves approach in the
most playful manner, lying, rolling
and frisking about, until the too cred
ulous and unsuspecting victim is COM
pletely put off his guard by curiosity
and Familiarity. During this time
the gang, squatting on their hind
quarters, look on at a distance. AT
ter some time spent in this way, the
two assailants separate, when one APP
proaehes the horses head, the other
his tail, with a shyness and cunning
peculiar to themselves. At this
stage of the attack their frolicsoms
approaches become very interesting
it is in right good earnest; the
former is a mere decoy, the latter j:
the real assailant, and keeps his eye:
steadily fixed on the, ham-strings Of
flank of the horse. The critical mo
ment is then watched, and the attacl
is simultaneous both wolves. sprin!
at their victim at the same instant
one TO his throat, the other TO hi
hanl-and if successful, which they
generally are, the hind one nevel
lets 90 his hold till the horse is com
pletely disabled. Instead of spring
ing forward or kicking to disengag,
himself, the horse turns round anC
round without attempting a defence
The wolf before then springs behind

his struggles are fruitless-the vic

WEBSTER IN DEATH.

Webster's forehead, renowned for
Its massive breadth and fullness, pre-
scented a much smaller appearance as
he lay in his coffin in the library at
Marshfeld. An ordinary sized hand
could easily have covered the whole
of it. Perhaps this was owing to
the removal of the brain. Before
The open coffin was carried out upon
the lawn, numbers placed their hands
upon that familiar brow as they took
their last look. The lips were Slight
iy parted, the teeth, so long of ex-
IRENE wilderness, being jsst percep-
u6le. n strong resemblance remain
ed between the face of the dead and
the portrait of the living Webster
which hung upon the wall-where
also looked down the pictures of his
beloved son Edward, who died in
Mexico, and of Lord Ashburton, his
friend, distinguished for his part in
the settlement of the northeastern
boundary question. The body. il
will be remembered, was clad in the
citizens dress he best liked-blue
coat and bright buttons, white vest
and neckclOth, black pantaloons and
white silk gloves. There was nc
expression of pain or melancholy
upon the swathy face, but rather a
look of satisfaction. When the cof
In was carried down the steps lead
ing TO the tomb, one Of the silvel
handles was accidentally pressed
against the granite portal and LITE,
up; in the next moment it was dis
engaged and fell with knock again:
the side of the coffin, which instant
ty disappeared in the vault. To tn
writer who alone noticed the circun
stance, trivial in ITSELF it seemed Iik
the knock of Death, announcing thu
the great man was shut forever frol
'he world. The day was bright
the morning, but clouded up lust f.;
the funeral had commenced, an
closed in rain.
