Wendell Phillips.-This radical
fanatic has been howling in Boston in
disrespect to the memory of Daniel
Webster which every true American
reveres. Not having it in his power
to harm the great statesman, he d.
rects his insane indignities against
the statue by Powers recently erect
ed in Boston, and which was SO elo-
quently inaugurated lately by Ed
ward Everett. Bolts, of the Sacra-
mento Standard gets virtuousiy in
dignant at the course Wendell Phil
lips has seen fit to pursue. His in
dignation is just. Daniel Webster is
the most valuable inheritance of the
people Of New England. 1t is
an outrage to do him violence.
We hope Bolts will lash all such
mobbishly inclined fellows in the Uni
ted States. not forgetting those chiv-
alric chaps who sometimes fantically
roast a niger. their most cherished
inheritance. before a slow fire, for
some wrong said property had done.
Give the rascals fits all over the I'm
ion. Bolts, in spirit of nationality.
You have been about long enough
securing the North fer scamps to lash.
Turn your virtuous eyes now to a Sec
ton about which you are not so igno-
rant, and produce a national equilibri-
um in the tone of your valuable pa
per.

According to Mr.. Everett. in his
recent grafton, Mr.. Webster was also
believer in the irrepressible conflict
between Freedom and Slavery. the
first ennuuciation of which has been
attributed to Mr., Seward. We quote;
"He( Mr. Webster) not only conf
IDENTIFY anticipated what the lapse of
seven years since his decease has wit
messed and is witnessing, that the
newly-acquired ard newly organized
Territories of the u MON would grow
up into Free States; but, IN common
,ciM all or nearly all the statesmen of
the last generation, he 6clicred that
Free Labor aconld ultimately preraa
throughout the country. He thought
he saw that, in the operation of the
same causes whichhave produced this
result in the Middle and Eastern Sta
tes, it was visably taking place in the
States north of the cotten-growing
region, and he inclined to the opinion
that there, also, under the influence
of physical and economical causes,
Free Labor would eventually be found
more productive and would therefore
be ultimately established" i
Ben. +. Hallett, the prince of Dem
ocratic speech makers and platform
architects, tells us very frankly and
perspicuously in his speech at the late
Democratic State Convention at Wor-
cester, what Popular Sovereignty"
means in the Democratic dictionaries.
"The whole question of Popular Sow
ereignty." says he, ..is the meress ah-
stract of an absti action, nothing that
is practical; question, he continues,
"on which one man says popular
Sovereignty" and then means ohat
lie has mind to and another. cries
out Popular Sovereignty" and means
achatever he pieases By it, and nobody
exactly defines hes position"

water sufficient to work with rockers, and

! A BEAUTIFUL PIcTuRK.-Mr. Scott Tidball
OF San Francisco, the well.known artist. has
recently published an exquisite print, drawn
from nature and autographed, by bimself
representing the Valley Quail of California.
The figures are male and female, with a
brood OF young. of the exact size Of life, sur
rounded by native plants and shrubs. The
sketches are so spirited and lifelike that
while looking.at them you are half afraid they
will start up and fly out OF sight. To the
Ornithologist their inter est is enhanced from
the fact that the drawings Of the bird In An-
dubon's work are exceedingly imperfect
We trust the artist will find encouragement
TO prepare a companion picture TO the pres
ent. representing our mountain quail, which
In size is about one'fourth larger than the
valley quail, and though bearing general
resemblance, is readily distinguished from
the latter.
