made them acceptable TO the LADIES every
where. They formed the elite of the drawing
room. General Wayne. the renowned Mad
Anthony" with his aidS-de-camp, Lewis and
De Butts, frequently attended, with Miffln.
Walter Stewart. Colonel Hartley, and many
others. Indeed there was often to be met
with at the mansion of the First President an
assemblage of intellect and honor, public
virtue and private worth, exalti d merit and
illustrious services, such as the world will
never see again.
Among the foreign officers of distinction.
visitors of the drawing room. were the vi
comte de Noailles. of the French, and Major
Beckwith, of the British armies.
There was no etiquette in the drawing
room; simplicity and dignity prevailed
There all was affability. with the polite and
elegant manners of that distinguished age
One privilege alone existed. The seat next
to the Presidents lady WAS always occupied
by Mrs. Robert Morris. This was no matter
of arrangement. but was yielded 10 the ex-
cellent lady by common consent. In these
days OF the Republic great mans merits
were pretty generally graduated by the esti-
nation in which be was held by the beloved
Chief. Now. it was perfectly we'll known in
ancient days that, of all our Revolutionary
Wort hies, nonc-no, not on" WAS nearer and
dearer to the heart Of the Chief than Robert
Morris. His invaluable services tn the cause
of American independence, at periods wher
we had neither coin in our treasury mol
credit to obtain one, were freshly remem be red
in The olden time. and claimed for the fnan
ci'r of the Revolution the title of public
benefactor.
Such was the Republican Court in the day,
of Washington. Digniied in its simplify
imposing from the grandeur of its assOcia
tons, it shed lustre upon that renowned
era of our early history, when America hav
ing cOnsummatcd her great experiment o
srlfgovernment, gave her example to othel
nations and an empire to the world.

Zone word to our friend Hiram Ketchum
for such we hold him to be. and 10 all Others
of that ilk.' The door Of the Republican
party is just as wide open for your admission
as il was for ours. Our Convention has pro
claimed that you are all urged TO wax in;
and that when there. there shall he no dis
tinction between those who entered at the
first. and those no come at the Eleventh
Hour. The home OF every Wing is in the
bosom of the Republican party; once there,
we are all on precisely the same footing"
But you keep black man at the door, and
make us paint black before we can go in.
Then if we paint black. and walk in. you

THE WEBSTER STATUE.-Tbe Massachusetts,
abolition disunionists have already started an
cutlery agaiRst the statue of Mr.. WEBSTER
recently erected in Boston. They are con-
vulsed with indignation that the image of
the Great Expounder should be placed in
front of the State House, and the cry lie
sDown with Webster's Statue" The follow
ing cdict is Issued by GARRIsox's LIBERAToR :
"THE STATUE Musr BE REMOVED. this
be the popular decree o-morrow-let the
declaration go forth from the lips Of every
upright man--let it he the voice of Massa-
chusetts. A vote Of the Legislature can undo
what vote has done. That vote can be
secured by prompt circulation of respect
full petition, TO be signed by all who in their
hearts respond to the cry-THE STATUE MUST
BE REMOVED"
.'Tbe statue must be removed! AND LET ALI
THE PEOPLE SAY. AMEN y"
Here is the petition to be circulated:
- To the Senate and House of Representatives o.
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts:
We, the undersigned citizens Of the Com
monwealth Of Massachusetts,, respectfully
| ask you TO remove from the State House
| grouDds-as no honor TO the State and re
| pugnant 10 the moral sense OF the people
| the statue of Daniel Webster, whose last
years were spent in defending the Fugitiey
Slave bill, and whose last counsel TO the
commonwealth was 10 conquer her preju
diccs against slave-hnhting, and to return
men TO bondage with alaclity.w
There is no depth OF folly to WHICH anti
slavery faDaticism wilnot decend. Pity
that the miserable wretches led by GARRISON
cannot be induced TO migrate to some cOun
try where they can have things their OWL
| way.

We have given, says the american, the en-
tire lisf of cargOes, in order 10 show
the steamship business in its worst as well as
it's best estate. The dates will show irregu-
lar and unreliable the arrivals were after
the withdrawal Of one of the ships to the
Crimean war in 1854, but while regular and
reliable, a. in 1852, 1858. and part of 1854,
it is obvious that paying cargoes were regu-
larly sent by them. During the latter part
of 1854, several very large aggregates APP

thousand dollars can be reasonably reckoned
at million in intrinsic value.

The Cincinnati En9'sTsr. DOUGLAS organ
makes the following remarks touching Sena-
tnr Clay of Alalmma:


makes the following remarks touching Sena-
tor Clay of Alabama
"A SENATOR OvERBoARD.--SeDator Clay,
of Alabama, has made speech at Huntsville,
in that State, in which he declared that he
would not vote for Senator Douglas, or any
other man who entertains similar views. even
II he is nominated by the Charleston Con-
yentfon. There must also be a Congressional
shave code provision inserted in the Charles
ton Platform or Mr.. Clay will leave u.s.
He further states that he is not, and never
will be, National Democrat. After these
declarations, Clay sbonld be treated exactly
as Hale and Trumbull were-as a renegade
to the party. The doors Of onr organization
shonld be slammed IN his face"
"a renegade to The party. The doors Of
our organization should be slammed in his
face.u Verify this DOUGLAS organ is grow
ing insoienti It. the Alabama Senator is to
be expelled, what is to be done with the
thousands of Southern Democrats who think
as he does, and make the same demands =?
Are they all to receive similar punishment?
If SO, what is to become of the National
Democracy in the South? OF late years
the Disciples of secesionism and disunionism
have ruled the Southern wing of the party,
and without their aid, neither DOUGLAS nor
any one entertaining his peculiar views can
carry certain Southern States. Without those
States there can be no such thing as election
to the Presidency, even with the advantage
of nomination by the Charleston Conven-
tion. The Enquirer had better recall its
ukase. and prepare to knock under" to The
demands OF Senator CLAY and his State
Rights Confedraies, unless it desires nm over
whelming route of the National Democracy
Ia 1860.
We have some anti-DeUGLAs democrats in
Tennessee different variety TO those repre-
scented by Mr.. CLAY.-who swear upon their
consciences--such as they are-that they will
not vote for him, if nominated. If they do
not wish to be regarded as "renegades,' and
/. 10 have the doors of the party organization
slammed in their faces" they must revise
r and recall their ''oaths." 1t is bad thing
to swear-a "horrible" thing, ito use q dem
ocratic descriptive epiihetl to take "oaths, y
and having done so in moments of forgetiul-
ness, or when laboring under excitement,
they should not stand by them. They would
feel miserably TO wake up some line morning
and find themselves out in the cold, the party
doors closed against them, ard no where to
90. In gang by themselves" they would
be powerless for good or evil-the Oppose
ton don't want and wouldn't have them on
any terms-so they should make up their
minds to "save their bacon" before it be too
late.

his advice. Witness does not understand
cards at all; does not know one card from
another. Witness had no conversation with
Dubant next day. Mr.. Fabyan. book-keeper
a: the National. testified that Mr.. Wallis was
very much Intoxicated when he came in on
Friday night about 10 O'Clock; be fell against
the wall and had to be put 10 bed. He con-
iinued intoxicated and very stupid till Sum
day. He might have taken liquor on Satur-
day, but witness did not see him.. IA
Mr.. Wallis himself was then examined by
Mr.. Ould, and repeated the circumstances of
his coming up from Alexandria and being in
toxIcaied on Thursday, and wandering about
the city all night. AS to cards be knew only
| enough about them to play with young
| ladies, but does not know either biuh or brag.
He had played .seven up and whist with
the ladies. All he meant ny his testimony
the day before was, that he knew nothing OF
cards so as 10 bet on them. Could not recol-
| lect what he said the day before; his memory
| Fad become impaired. for his bead felt as II
| it would burst. His occupation was trader
in horses, cattle. and negroes. and he had
kept boarding house for college students.
/ Mr. McDermott, barkeeper at the National,
| testified that on Friday. at seven or eight
o'clock in the evening. Mr.. Wallis was as
! sober as any man; he had been drinking. but
| in the afternoon took good sleep and said
| afterwards he felt very much better.
The District Attorney then rose and moved
the Justice that all the parties concerned
/ Steer. Dubant and Dunawin-be held over
to answer at the Criminal Court for conspir-
! ing to d-frand aud cheat David l.. Wallis.
| He said the crime was either conspiracy or
forgery, flor himself he thought the former, }
and remarked that it was evident Wallis had
no sart of show at the gaming table. He allu-
ded also to the discrepancy between the
testimony Of Strong the day before-which
was that the money advanced by Steer or
Dunawin TO Wallis on his draft was paid in
twenty dollar gold pi, ces, and was $500 in
amount-and the statement made by Duna-
win on the same point to-day, and said that
there must be something wrong somewhere.
Mr.. Wharton for defeudants) made some re-
marks in reply to Mr. Ould, and was followed
by Mr.. E. c. Darlington ON the same side
Mr.. Darlington objected TO the reception OF
Dunawin's evidence, and insisted that the
law of conspiracy would not Justify the
Magistrate in holding his clients for trial on
that charge. MIR. Ould closed. and the Justice
consented to hold Dunawin as witness only,
| and held The others to bail as first herainbe-
| fnre stated -Steer and Dubant in 81 600 each,
and Wallis for his appearance at Court in
| $500.

THE REPUBLICAN COURT IN THE DAYS OF THE
FIRST PRESIDENT.

The Presidential Mansion in Philadelphia
las the property of Robert Morris. and had
been the headquarters of Sir William Howe
during the occupation of Philadelphia by the
British army in HITS. The situation was
eligible. being in an airy and pleasant part
of the city, with considerable area or open
space adjoining 1t. and contiguous to the
public buildings. Considerable additions aud
imprt vcmcnts were made to the original
building with a view to its accommodation
of the Presidents households: still the rooms
were small. and The whole establishment but
indiiicrently fitted for the purposes required.
The equipages of the President were we'll
provided for, the stabling for twelve horses
being extensive and CONNEXIONS, and the
coach houses large and convenient.
Washington's unmitigated uniiring EN-
ployment and labor made it necessary that
b. should have some mode of public reccp-
ton for the many visitors who were coninu-
ally seeking opportunities of paying their
respects and presenting their lett,rs OF intro
duction; hence the
