From the New York Evening Posi- ort, IL

Mr. WEBSTER BADLY TREATED.-It will
be remembered that, few weeks ago, we
pointed out a remarkable coincidence of the
doctrine ascribed by Mr.. Everett in his late
Grafton, to Mr.. Webster, with Mr. Seward S
doctrine OF the "irrepressible conflict" between
slavery and freedom. BY this statement from
MIR. Webster's biographer and confidential
friend, it appeared that both these statesmen
held to the same opinion, but that Mr.. Web
ster had the advantage of announcing his adj
heson to it some years earlier than the states
man of New York, whose first declaration of
it was made in his Rochester speech about a
year ago For the purpose of showing the
identity of principles Of these two statesmen,
we repubish, side by side, first, the Webster
doctrine of the irrepressibe conflict as given
by MIR. Everett on the 18th of September,
1859, and the Seward doctrine, as given in the
Rochester speech -
The Webster Doctrine stated By Mr. Ererett.-
"He Mr.. Websterl not only confidently
anticipated what the lapse of seven years
since his decease has witnessed, and is
witnessing, that the newly acquired and new
ly organized territories Of the Union would
grow up into free states but, IN common Uih
all or nearly all the statesmen ofthe last generation,
he believed that free labor Uouid ultimately preUail
| throughout the country. He thought lie saw
which have produced this result in the middle
and eastern states, it was yisibly taking place
in the states north of the cotton-growing re-
| gion and he inclined to the opinion that there
also, under the influence of physical and
economical causes free labor would eventual
| ly be found most productive, and would there.
fore be ultimately established"
Mr.. Sewdd's Version ofMe Webster Doctrine.
"These antagonistic systems liberty and
slavery are continually coming into closer
contact, and collision results. Shall tell you
what this collision means They who think
it is accidental, unnecessary, the work OF in.
terested aud tanatcal agtators, and therefore
| ephemeral, mistake the case altogether. 1t is
an imperishable conflict between opposing
and endarances, and Il means that the United
States must, and oCW sooner later, become eitey
entirely a siavehoidiag nation or entirely a free
| lub0r nation"
Mr.. Everetts statement, given above, was
published, as revised by himself and with his
own approval, in Boston evening paper Of
September II, and paragraph which appear
ed in tbs Evening Post, calling attention to
the agreement of sentiment between the two
statesmen, excited some comment and surprise
among those who were interested in the sub
ject
A few days after, when Mr.. Everett repeat
ed his Grafton, by invitation of the Massach
usetts legislature, we learn from our correspon.
dent that the passage respecting Mr. Webstcr's
doctrine was omitted. Was there ever more
] noticeable instance Of deficient nerve and Of
unworthy sensitiyunuss than is here exhibited

some indications that he had been duped by
adroit burglars. The Albany Atlas says =
"fhere is one circumstance connected with
the affair (mut before mentioned) that.seems to
some rather significant. About three weeks
ago, two men came along and hired an apart
ment on the third floor, putting up sign
Curtis & Co., landscape painters. The Co
gave his name as Ladd. Two or three days
after being there, Curtis saw Marsh out in the
yard, and spoke to him. inviting him to go up
and see some of his paintings. Marsh COM
piled, when Curtis asked him if he was fond
of music. Being answered in the affirmative,
he said, Very well; | play the guitar, and
some evening will visit you in the store, and
we will have some music" 1t was not long
before he fulfilled his promise, and one visit
led to another, and finally, Curtis was invited
to sleep in the store He did so one night.
Then this man Wheeler came along. He east
ly effected an acquaintance with Marsh they
became intimate in few days, and passed
several evenings together in conviyial way.
Marsh introduced Wheeler to Curtis, and took
both to Troy and introduced them to Miss
Hobbs. This was getting along famousy,
considering that his acquaintance with them
did not date baeS SNore than three weeks. He
has now,s22s Aptbraes picion that Wheeler and
Curtisat -. l.scl other before. Curtis was
with him in Troy last Sunday night and on
Wednesday Mr.. Curtis gave up his room over
the store, and neither he nor his partner can
now be found. Some of the police think that
if the landscape painters could be brought
into court, much of the mystery that surrounds
the burglary would be cleared up"

The CoUNcILLoRsuIP.-It was stated in
the Republican caucus, last evening, that
the delegation elect to the Councillor Con-
vention was chiefly composed of gentlemen
friendly to the denomination of Councillor
Rogers. The statement was made on the au-
thority of those who were the most active in
canvassing for the list. OF the personal pref
erences of the great majority of those who
compose it we have no means of deciding, even
if it were desirable to decide. 1t is certain,
however, that SO far as there has been any
public expression of opinion on the subject
at all, it has been nearly unanimous in IA
vor of change in the office of Councillor
the present year So far as this city
is concerned, the desire has been open
ly and generally expressed that some
new man should be presented for that place
Ia feeling which the result of the meet
ing last night will not be at all likely to change
The opposition to Mr.. Rogers rises from no
personal feeling but from the deep and earnest
conviction that the interests Of this district re-
quire different representation from that which
it has had in the Executive Council during
the past two years. The indications are
favorable that this strong feeling will
have a more equal and just expression in
the Convention than it had i'll the caucus here
last night. II the public sentiment of this
community is recognized and consulted, Mr.
Rogers will be allowed to retire in favor of
new candidate from some other section of the
county.

From our Milford Correspondent.

From Milford Correspondent.
| Farmers and Mechanics Fair at Milford.
am happy to assure your readers that our
first attempt at holding Farmers and Me-
chanics' Fair has proved a great success. The
hopes of all have been more than realized, and
on every hand it is acknowledged that the rich
cles, will compare with any exhibition in this
or other counties.
The stock, without any fiattery, from Mil
ford, Uxbridge, Mendon, and Upton, was pro-
nounced by a competent judge full up to any
presented at other places in the State. The
swine were very superior. Messrs. Otis Thay
er, Patrick Wallis, and Samuel Walker, have
been truly successful in the swine department,
and can hardly be beat. A much larger dis
play of fancy articles was exhibited than was
anticipated. Many of these articles were from
the fair hands of our Milford ladies. The me-
chanical department did well for beginning.
When it is remembered that the whole affair
was conceived of only few weeks since, and
that but little effort has been made, the friends
have every reason to be highly pleased and
satisfied; and next year we think we can "as-
tonish the natives" The best result, we think,
will be to call attention to agriculture in Mil
ford. We need an impetus in this direction.
With one of the best markets in the state, we
have to depend almost entirely upon importa.
ton from other towns and Boston for most of
our vegetables.
| must not fail to mention the unusual dis
play of mammoth squashes Mr.. d. N. Jones,
Of Milford, took the lead here and presented
something in this line truly wonderful. Our
spacious town hall was densely filled day and
evening with delighted visitors The farmers
table did a good business in feeding the hungry.
The committee will make a report awarding
cards Of appreciation, as no premiums are to be
given this year. Another season, the Farmers
Club may be in luck to do better for their
friends and the public. Look out for 1860.
Last Saturday evening the grocery store of
VIM. Howard, on Main street, was discovered
to be on fire. The alarm was quickly given
and the flames were extinguished before much
damage was done. The fire broke out so soon
after the store was closed and is thought to
be the work of an incendiary. Damage about
$780,
A barn in the northeasterly part of Milford
was consumed on Sunday night.
The Fire Department have their annual pa
rade tomorrow. (Oct 14.)

Our MINISTER TO CHINA.-Our readers
saw yesterday in the column of telegrapbc
news the statement that, according to intelli-
gence received at St Petersburg from Picking,
our minister had arrived at the Chinese capi-
tai, but was there kept in confinement. The
fact that the Chinese news, which comes by
Russia, is generally trustworthy, makes us
justly concerned about the situation of Mr.
Ward Our anxiety is increased rather than
diminished bya letter from him which was
written just after the great battle, and which
is published in the New York Times. In this
he virtually confesses that in his opinion he al
lowed Commodore Tatnall to violate neutrali-
ty lie defends his course on the ground that
they were not really neutrals, but were by the
action Of the Chinese commissioners forced to
be, in certain sense, contederates of the al.
lies. Yet he writes, II think the Commodore
thought me wrong as minister" Now it
would not be strange if the Chinese should
take at least as unfavorable aview of his con-
duct as he did himself, and should treat him
as a prisoner rather than as minister. when
they had him safely in their power. Further
tldlngs from the East will be awaited with the
| deepest interest.

THr MrsrERN ELEcrIoNs.-In Ohio, two

The WESTERN ELECTIoNs.-ln Ohio, two
years ago, the democrats carried the State,
eecting majority of both branches of the
Legislature. The great personal popularity OF
Gov Chase secured him many votes from lib
eral Democrats, and he was reelected by a
small majority, but his party was defeated
All this should be remembered now, while we
read reports of the election which has just
taken place in Ohio. The result of this elec-
ton is a great triumph of the Republicans
Their State ticket is elected by II 600 majori-
ty, and they have both branches of the qhegis-
lature. 1t is not the least satisfactory portion
of this victory that Governor Chase will be
returned to the United States Senate in place
of Mr.. Pughsgwhose term expires in March,
1861.
...ssfhe democrats made powerful and
very skillfully conducted effort to carry
Ohio, this year. The administration and
Douglas influences worked together with
all possible harmony, one side intent on re-
eocting Pugh to the Senate, and the other de-
termined to win triumph for Douglaaism to
which the candidates on the state ticket were
very earnestly devoted. The political infiu-
ence of such triumph was all important to
Mr.. Douglas and his popular sovereignty"
having failed utterly there, can scarcely hope
to accomplish much anywhere else. He may
as well lay it on the shelf and retire from his
pursuit of the presidency. The people every
where understands very well that no Demo-
cratic candidate for the presidency can be a
friend of free institutions and free labor, be-
cause that party organization is an agency of
the slave power and will not allow him to be
so. Free principles can have no true sympa-
thy and support from Democrats until their
present national organization is destroyed.
There is but little from Minnesota but what
we have is very encouraging. Our tclegraphic
report says, the democrats have only $50
majority in Ramsay county, heretofore their
strong hold, and always sure for great major
ity in their favor. The city OF st. Paul is in
that county. In Dacotah county, which is
not very populons, the democrats had 1856 ma
jority at the last election. Now the Republi-
cans have carried this county by majority
of s, which is sufficient for all practical
purposes. In Washington County, the 200
Republican majority now reported shows a
large gain on the previous vote. These par
ticulars indicate that The Republicans have
carried Minnesota by strong majority-just
what our friends there have promised with the
utmost confidence

WE think the want of information, relative to the
capillary organization and its Diseases is attribute
BILE to an omission the part of the propounders of
physiological sciences because, if we examine any
work upon the human structure scarcely half page
can be found devoted to the hair and its diseases
Hence the impossibilitY to tell why loss of hair
occurs before the middle of life We know there
must be cause, for it is evidently unnatural for the
body to lose its appendages before the general de-
cline begins. But DR.. Perry informs us there are
twelve distinct diseases, all differing in symptoms,
but equally destructive to the health of the hair and
that they not confined to age sex but attack
all indiscriminately, which accounts for the gray
hairs and bald heads which proverbal with
the young, as well as those advanced in years.
The Doctor has made speciality of the capillary
disease, and is the only lecturing upon them
and treating them upon physical principles. His
in this city far has been without parallel
in giving perfect satisfaction to all who have visited
his rooms at the Lincoln House, although many cam
not be helped who call, for he does not profess to
make hair grow when the condition of the scalp pre-
vents, or to make it grow where it never grew be-

The GREAT RoBBERY IN ALBANY.-It will
be remembered that few nights since, jew
elry store in Albany was robbed OF goods TO
the amount Of $4,000. There appears. to
have been some very notable man@uveriug of
roguery connected with this affair. Investiga.
ton by the police led very clearly to the con-
clusion that the robbery had been affected by
persons familiar with the premises and that
they had lain concealed in the cellar during
the evening previous A young man concealed
within the store, named Marsh, and young
woman Of bis acquaintance, named Hobbs, were
arrested but they were respectable persons,
and nothing was found against them, save
