In our issue of this morning, we gave, in the pro- ceedings of the Third Candidate Convention, a sy- inopsia only of the action of the convention during ‘its afternoon session of yesterday. We now lay be- fore our readers a full account of its actinga and ings, ombracing the pia‘form upon which its eee are placed. Those nominees and that platform will command the support of a large por- tion of tho people of Georgiw, aad we bave suf- ficient guarantees for this in tho character of tho convention, and in the uuanimity and enthusiasm with which its members acquiosced ia its action, ‘That action was the voice of une people of Georgia. ‘They have declared against the tyranny of party land the dictation of party conventions, and, rising labove party prejudices and party trammels, have indicated their choice for the offices of President land Vice President of tho United States. The nominees of the Third Candiiate Convention need no biography to tell to the people of Georgia what havo been their actions, or what are taeir opinions. The history of Daniel Webster, is the history of his country ; while the name of Charles J. Jeukins is familiar as a household word to the people of Georgia. Their opinions Gigs the vital question, in the pending Presidental election, are oot matters for inference or conjecture. The acis and efforts of Daniel ‘ia Pieter, of 8 Sonat are a and parcel of great plau of adjustment; ist Mr. Jenkins is the author of Bs Georgia Platform, which gave direction to the public senti- ment of the South upon the Comproznise bills, which triumphantly sustained them. {udependent of the ereeion by jected Spel ae presets e peoplo, or the form of priuciplos upon whic! they are placed, Webster and Jenkias, me Tepeat, ‘must command the support of 2 lerge portion of the people of Georgia—the one as the great defender and expounder of the constitution, and the other as the author of the Georgia Platiorm THIRD CANDIDATE CONVENTION.

The committee of twenty-four, through their chairman, R. P. Trippe, Esq. inform- ed the Convention that after conference with a com- mittee of the Scott Convention, they wero satisfied that a union of the third candidate and Soott Con- ventions could not be effected, and submitted the following REPORT. Firmly believing that those: in vey constituted, irr ible, and disorderly assemb! , onlled National Conventions, whatever may have boon to be expo- their utility in former days, have ce! nents of the popular will, and that both of those re- tly assembled at Baltimore have, alike, utterly failed¢o represent the wishes of their respectiv partics—We, the immediate ropresentatives of tha portion of the whig party, and other independen:. voters of Georgia, who are dissatisfied with the ac- tion of those conventions, do hereby declare ou determination to disregard their nominations, and select other candidates to whom we can, with mor confidence, entrust the maintenance of our politica opinions and principles ; And, to the end that we may distinotly manifest those opinions and Pagrescmes many of which w hold in common with those whose nominees we ro ugcee proclaim the following as our politica creed :— 1, The Government of the United States is of limited character, and it is confined to the exercis of powers exprossly granted by the constitution, and such as may be nece: and proper for carry- ing the grante wers into full execution ; and that all powers net thus granted or necessarily implied, are expressly reserved to the States respectively and to the peo le. 2. The State governments should be held secure in their reserved rights, and the general goyern- mont sustained in its constitutional powers, and the Union should be revered and watched over as ‘‘ the palladium of our liberties.” 3. That while struggling freedom, everywhere, enlists our warmest sympathy, we still ere to the doctrines of the Father of his Country, as an- nounced in his Farewell Address, of ears our- selves free from all entangling alliances with foreign countries, and of never quitting our own to stand upon foreign ground. That our mission as a repub- isnot to propagate our opinions, or impose on other countries our form of government, by artifice or force, but to teach by example, an: ee by our suecess, moderation, and justice, reat or a Revert ica and the advantages of free insti- tutions. 4. That where the people make and control the jovernment, they should obey its constitution, ws, and treaties, as they would retain their self- peepeces and the respect which they claim and will enforce from foreign powers. ‘i 5. Government should be conducted upon princi- les of the strictest economy, and revenue sufficient for the expenses thereof in time of peace, ought to be mainly derived from a duty on imports, aud not from direct taxes; and in levying such duties, sound policy requires a just discrimination, and protection id by specific duties, when practicable, whereby suitable agar ara may be assured to American industry, equally to all classes and to all portions of the country. 6. The Constitution vests in Congress the power to open and repair harbers, and remove obstructions from mavignhlo riveso, wed 1b ie wa; ay VEL Congress exercise that power, ‘ whenever such improvements are necessary for the common defence, or for the protection end facility of com- merce with foreign nations or among the States ;” euch improvements being, in every instance, na- tional and general in their character. 7. The Federal and State Government are parts of one system, alike neccssary for the common prosperity, peace and security, and ought to be re d alike, with a cordial, habitual and immovea- le attachment. _ Respect for the authority of each, and acquiescence in tho constitutional measures of cach, are duties required by the plainest considera- Fie je national, of State, and of individual wel- 8. Tho series of the acts of the thirty-first Con- 88, commonly known as the compromise or ad- justment, (tho act for the resovery of fugitive from labor included, (we receive and acquiesce in, as a final settlement, in principle and substance, of the subjects to which thoy relate, and s0 as these acts aro concerned, we will maintain them and insist on their strict enforcemont, until time and experionce demonstrate the necessity of further legislation to guard against the evasion of the laws on tho one hand, and tho abuse of their power on the other--not impairing their present efficacy to carry out the requirements of the constitution ; and we deprecate all further agitation of the questions thus settled, as dangerous to our peace, and will discountenance all efforts to continue or renew such agitation, whenever, where- ever, or however madc—and we will maintain the settlement as essential to the nationality of our par- ty and the integrity of tho Union. 9. Belioving the limits of our Union, extending between oceans, from tho British possessions to the Mexican republic, are already large enough for all }. the a of national prosperity and powor, wo are utterly opposed to allfarther arquiditieos of ter- ritory whatever, whether bought. with the treasure of the country, or the blood of her people. 10 Regarding the public lands as t! a common property of the soveral States, an ed that partial appropriations, either of them or thei eds, to particular States, for general or spoci- Bea objects, are unwise and unjust to the other mem- bers of the confederacy, we aro in favor of a just and equal distribution of said lands, or their pro- ceeds, among all the States. OR 11, With the view of carrying out the principles hereinbefore enunciated, and for the .purpose of selooting men for whom we can more cheerfully cast our suffrages at the approaching Presidential eloc- tion, than for cither of the present nominees—men, too, whose services in the recent great struggle in- volving the permanence of the government, are a arantee of their fidelity to the constitution and the Union, and whose position is known to accord with the above declaration of principles, and whose patriotism knows no North, no uth, no East, no West-we, hereby, nominate Daniel Webster, of Massachueetts, for the office of President; and Chazles J. Jenkins, of Georgia, for the office of Vice President of tho United States. 12. We ®commended to the support of the people of Georgia the beng Merit ticket :-- Ht. H.

The announcement of the names of the nominees for President, Vice President, and electors, was re- ceived with enthusiastic and long continued ap- plause; and'When the reading of tho report wascon cluded, it was adopted unanimously. The,convention was then entertained with spirited addresses from Messrs. Reese, of Morgan; enice of Monroe; Alexander, of Chatham; Elam, of DeKalb: and Cumming, of Richmond. On motion of P. W. Anexanper, Esq., of Chat- ham, the secrotarics of the convention were instruct- od to notit'y the electors of their nomination. Avaustus Rersa, Esq., of Morgan, offered tho following resolution, which was adopted:— Resolved, Thagthe President of this convention do ap- point a committee of eleven, as an Hxeoutive Committes, clothed with power to fill any vaeancy that may occur in the electoral ticket. and to do all other things necessary Me proper to be done, to forward the election of suid ticket.

The man who does most to give this character to the canvass and to accomplish this result, will de- serve most of his brethren of the State. Our path is a plain one, and we shall troad it with ploasure. Our support will be given to Web- ster and Jenkins—the one the greatest intellect of con- fora the age, the other his most worthy compoer. In yield this support, we shall not o) tt and: Graham. On the contrary, we shall defend thom whenever necessary and Bip eqn the achieve- ments of the one, and the modest morit of the other, are national property, and should have a defender in overy true American. Wo shall not turn aside to war upon friends, when there is an enemy in front. Our batteries will be directed against tho latter, and not against the former.

It will save the whigs and independent voters of the State ee clasarecetle necessity of remaining passive or giving their support to Pierce and King. What- ever may have been our opinions on the position and associations of General Scott, recount developements show that he is at least as relinbie as General Pierce, while, as to ability and services, every sensible man must acknowledge he is far his superior. uch being our determination, we shall givo place to both tickets, and throw open our columns to both sides. Toleratimg differences of opinion among friecds. and opposing no ono but the common foo, we shall labor with cheerfulness and zeal in the sup- port of the ablest ticket ever presonted to tho Amer- ican peoplo—Daniel Webster and Charlos J.

The convention has acted nobly, and we challenge all mon to say whother this is not tho noblest ticket in the field, and whother these men would not be numbor one, over if there were a thousand others in nomination. Whether wo succeed is not for us to say, our businoss is to do right; to do the best for our country, and leave consequences to Providence. Woare proud of our nominees, and when we call their names, no sense of shame will color our cheeks, or cause us to hand our heads. J¥rom the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, Aug. 21.] OUR CANDIDATES. To-day we ad_our banner to the breeze, with tho names of Daniel Webster, of Massachusetts, and Charles J. Jenkins, of i insoribed upon its folds, for tho two first offices in the republic. They have be teers ermal ied by es tan ne presenting those in it freemen of Georgia, who refuse to abido the decision of the two conven- tions recently assembled in Baltimore—men distin- guished, not less for conservatism and devotion to all the breat interests of the country, than for their sound national principles, and thoir determination to preserve, as far as ible, the freedom of the elective franchise. In the exercise of this high privi- lege they have risen superior to the dictation of irre- sponsible conventions, and shaken off the fetters with which those conventions sought to bind them; thus displaying a de; of moral courago, and earnest, nee patriotism, worthy the purest days of the republic. Of the nominees themselves, we need not attempt anyeulogium. They are known to the people of Georgia. Tho name of Daniel Webster is written in broad and Jegible characters on every page of his country’s for the last thirty yoars. Emi+ nently distinguished for the great power of his Bi ic in| i his found scholarship, his en- Dghtened, clevated and liberal statosmanship, and his sagacious diplomacy, he has enrolled his name high on the temple of fame, secured for him- self the proud distinction of “tthe shor defender of the constitution.”’ Such is Danic] Webster, in whose bosom pulsates = American heart, whose feelin mariaan. 0 i Ader pe Usion, ‘mows ‘DO Rath, no South, no ‘Beat, 4 ext.” Of Charles J. Jonkins, the distinguished citizen, pure patriot, and profound statesman, who is places on the ticket for the second office, nething that we caf say will elevate him in the estimation of the people of Goorgia. To them he is known—they are iamiliar with the purity of his private life—his un- sullied integrity, ardent jotiem, cagacious states- manship, and sincere devotion to the Union and constitution. A man, who, if he had never per formed any other public act, has enrolled his name high smong the conservative patriots of the repub- ie, by gi to the world the platform of the Con- stitutional Union party, of which he was the author. He is eminently conservative in his iples and feelings, and has no higher ambition to preserve and perpetuate the Union and the Constitution. Such are tho men who compose the Independent Ticket—which combines more talent. and capacity for the discharge of the high and responsible duties of the cffices to which we would elevate them, than both tho other tickets combined, four times ovor.

With this view the committee recom- mend waxing till the ree to the circulars are re- ceived. and plans are fully matured for a decisive and final meeting. In the meantime, they would suggest Shee of continuing to obtain signatures for the call. Addresses were made by Mosers. Arthur Picker- ing, Ben: Verley Poore, Charles Torrey, William Denton, George A, Wheelwright, Hubbard Wins- low, James W. Fowle, and others. Mr. PickerrnG urged strong and immediate Webster action, and thought the State would go for Webster. Major PoorE made a capital speech, and referred to the glorious Webster feeling in old Essex. Mr. Torney, who has hitherto kopt aloof, gave in his hearty adherence to the Webster movement, amidst the most hearty applause, which he followed with a strong, eloquent, and effective spoech. Mr. Waretwnricnt presented a Webster list from Watertown, on which were th atures of Dr. Morse, aged ninety: three, and Hon. Mr. Huane well, eighty-three, remarking that those ancient gontle- men were true Webster men, and desired, before they died, to givo their votes for Webster. Mr. Denton expected all to be of good choer, and Rey. Mr. Winslow, stated from his own knowledge, as gathered from the gentleman himself, that Rufus Choate would not ¥ for Scott, but would go for Webster, all of which was received with the most deafening applause. The several gentlemen mado most happ: and sig- nificant speeches, of which our limits if not per- mit oven a skoteh. Tho ball was crowded, tho pro- ceedings harmonious, and the whole affair truly and heartily Websterian. The cause pro; famous- ly. Another meeting will bo held to-morrow, Thurs- de evening. Let thefriends rally. Good speakers will be in attendance. Generat Scott and Antt verys LETIER FROM THE HON. HENRY BRADLEY. (From the Corning Journal.) We take groat pleasure in publishing the following letter from Hon. Henry Bradley, of Penn Yan, a well known and influential member of the liberty party, and who was, in 1846, the candidate of that ty for Governor of the State of New York. The Yeetcr is in reply to one of inquiry, from one of our citizens, Mr. W W. Hayt. At this juncturo this letter possesses — interest—following so close upon the Pittsburg convention, it shows that tho pomination there made will not be supported by a large portion of those who have, for many years, constituted the life and soul of the liberty party. Mr. Bradley bas becs, for fifteen yours, idoutitied with the abolition party, and at much easritive la- bored to diffuso anci slavery principles among the ople, His time, money and talenta, were cheorfi e. aevoted to the work, and his zeal in behalf o freedom none oan question fluence and vote are to be found, at this election, in favor of Gon. Winfield Scott:— Penn Yan, Auguat 16, 1852. | Wit W. Hayr, Bsa— .”, = | Peat Sir—Your favor of the 94 came duly to | hand, in whigh you say that it fs reported in your sevtion that,4in @ conversation with dlge Hull, | de- clared my intention to vore for Gem. Soott, for Presi dent. and vow ask, in the nemo of vutuber of | gi rize i thie bet i Hs 7 : : i r) Scuth were founded on truth, I ! for Gen. Soot, for I desired to cast my vote agningt perk Pe Tought to say from the commencement of the public life of Mr. Seward, I have had the most unwavering confidence in him as a map, o5.a statos- mag, and a8 a true and reliable friend of freedom. 8o far as bis influence shall prevail I doubt not it will be just and constitutional towards the North and towards the South—tewards tho slavehoiderand towards tho slave. From the firet announcement of the doings of tho Democratic Baltimore Convention, in the adoption of ite platform and the nomination of Gea. Pierce, to the present timo, I havo be ohne the country as in a state of imminent peril. Tho vinth article of that platform had been twice placed before the American People, and received with great offence by a large pee of the domocratic party, insomuch that in $48 many of the leaders of tho party as well as be ny ng ot se Bree and Lowey lante cbt be upon the Buffalo platform, pledging unyielding hos- tity to slavery. With thi earls 1 phen thised avd co-operated in good faith. Judge tnen of wy st to find this same ninth article again Wo rejoice that his.in- | adopted with expletives, if possible infinitely more anti-republican and offensive, roar be with this be unreasonable, unphilosephical insulting resolution :— Resolved, That the democratic party will resiat all at- beg at renewing im Congress or out of it, the agitation of the slavery quistion, under whatever shape or color tho attempt may be made To all thisGen. Pierce, tho nominee for Prosi- dent, responds :—‘*I accept the nomination upon tho platform adopted by the convention, not cause it is expected of mo asa candidate, but be- cause the principles it embraces command the ap bation of my judgment, and with them I believe I can safely say thero has been no word or act of my life in conflict.” Immediately all the democratic papers, barnburner and hunker, from Bennett’s Heratp and the Albany Argus, down to the lowest country issues, fall to glorifying the de- mocratic platform and the nominee, Gen. Pierce, without a word against slavery; and all this is eeboed by the public speakors, the Van Buren’s, tho Batler’s, the Dix’s, down to the smallest bunkers that holds forth his sentiments in the forum of a bar- room. Now, in all this, aro the y and its nominee honest and candid? If £0, they should be indicted ard punished for treason against humanity, and for -& cowardly avd craven surrender of liberty te ela- vers if, ou the other hand, this is simply a ruse to gull-the South, then are they dishonest, and for that reagon are unworthy to be trusted. For years past the demooratic party havo rung the changes on the words ‘‘ harmonious democra- cy;’’ and the Ve ian! bas furnished amusing proofs of the absurdity of such a play upon words. But now they are full of meaning; they are portentous. If the party succeeds wo are to have slavery in per- petuity, without agtiation in Congress or out of it, under the special care aud authority of the govern- ment, or the party are practicing a ruse, and the South are cheated. Iturn from the democratic to the whig party. In ro instance, I beliove, have the whig party adopted sectional elavery doctrines. An attempt was made at the commencement of tho present aes- sion of Congress te pass the compromise measures through a whig caucus of members of Congress. But @ fragment of the party were present, and though it was declared fo ly |, Such wore the indications attending its passage, that in the judgment of both the South and the North it was bereft of all stre: 5 t Again at tho imore Whig Convention, the adoption of the platform (whieh must be admitted to be wrong in principle and offensive Golo ton 0 was the work of but a portion of the convention, and to this day the South rofuse to regard it as aft fording any pera that the party or its nomineo will faver sectional slavery. Both the convention and General Scott, as its nominnee, have gone quite as for as, in my judg- ment, they could, with any show of consistency, convince the South that both stood upon a national and not a sectional platform ; and that while the federal government would not interfore with State sovereignty, by le; ting for or against slavery in the States where it exists, it we by no means gopsent to its extension into territory where it does DUE Calst. It is right and proper that the parties should be national ; the South has rightsas well as the North, and these are to be regarded and protected by the government. But this does not seem to cover the whole ground. There is a political element in American slavery, which is far more effective for good or evil than all the questions of abstract rigbt. inthe very necessities of the case, slavery must rule or must be ruled ; and up to this time none can fuil to see that whateverthero may have been of the carrying out of the dootrines of the declaration of independence and of tho federal conatltution, has been by yielding to s’avery so much that in its plo- thora it had but little activity to exert in the sup- pres-ion of others’ rights. But the time has come when such dispensations and indulgences are not to be expected. The issue bas been taken, and the presont canvass may decide the question which shall rule, which shall have the patronage and power of the government, and which shall Ye Inova by the servility and U beeyary athe office seekers—freedom or slavery. If the former revails, then will the Elen of all be secure; if the ret succeeds, then will the rights of none be pro- tected. In such an issue can any one doubt where General Scott will be found? His wholo life, in public and in private, has exhibited tho fixed purpose of pro- moting the cause of human freedom, whatever peril or sacrifice it might cost him. Tnat he will over ccrsent toyield tho political power of the country up to slavery, the South refuse to believe for a mo- meat; that General Scott would administer the government with strict re; to the constitution, and with pre-eminent ability, I have no doubt; ‘and if Jorg continued sorvice and disinterested devotion to tho country are entitled to any consideration. then is General Soott entitled t2 gratitude and not to calumpy and misrepresontation. . But do the whig party and ita nomince stand be- fore the country a3 an pai eres pasty, 2 Lan- swer it does not stand as a pro-slavery party. Look at the whig local conventions and you will look in vain for an endorsement of bey Again, where is the whig press? Whore the Now York Tribune, the Al any Journal, and almost tho whole country press "and what is the position of the whig public speakers! These questions need only be asked; all will agree upon their answer. ow, as between those two great parties, how is tho result to be regarded? There can be no difier- ence of opinion in this regard. If Genoral Pierce should be elected, both the South and the North will regerd it as a slavery triumph, and the govern- ment will be administered, ad its patronage dis- yxnsed accordingly. If General Scott shoul ceed, it will not be an anti-slavery wage but it will be, for the time being, adefoat of political slavery, and the government will be administered ard ite petropege dispensed nationally. One of theee men must, ip all human probability, be President. Ii, jacking one vote, and that should be mine, General Scott should fail and General Pierce should be called to occupy the place once occupied by a Washington, an Adams, and a Jef- ferson, Lshonld feol that by failing to do a simple act of duty I had inflicted a lasting injury upou the slave end upon the country.

Webster Movements—Reasons why some Webster Men Hold Back—Prospects of the Democracy— Amusements—Hawthorne’s Life of Pierce, §c. The Webster working men have been hard at work ali through the present weck to got up a movo- mont in this city in behalf of their favorite. Had the some exertions to the same end been made by whigs of high standing—men krown to be in favo of Mr. Webster, but lacking the nerve to “ bolt” — I should be inclined to think that these things meant something. But, fortunately for the Scott cause, not a man of any weight with the whigs has taken any part in either of the four Wobster meotings. Scme leading namies appear in tho accounts that havo been givenfof the proceodings at these meet- ings, but their bearers wore not present For in- stance, Mr. G. T. Curtis, the Webster man par excellence, Was appointed on a committee to got up an electoral ticket, whereupon he comes out in & card to the editor of & leading Soott paper, and ex- presees bis surprise at the appointment; docs not sey whether ke will aecept it or not, and tolls he world that if certain things ehould be done, ho will be found combating in behalf of the Webster cause, Now, when a gentleman, known to bo ar- dently attached to Mr. Webster, is found to be so cool and c&utions, the inference is certainly not ‘llcgical that much remains to be done to offect that complete disruption of ties thet must follow from a Webster promunciamento in Massachusetts that just vow, and judging from the mere sur of things, there in more likelihood of a Webster stacad ny tins” Papers are in rg at Manenil Hall, to hoe have already b irou 0 4 Ba a ‘ ly noted in this mstter, they orm other 0 feélthe | A man named J.

Take the counties, for example. Mr. | Webster’s friends are strongest in Suffolk county, which Inst ycar gave 2,480 majority for the whigs, and cast 7,597 votes for Mr. inthrop. Supposo # Webster ticket. nominated, to be voted for on the 2d of November; is it within the bounds of proba- bility that on tho Sth of November, six daystater, the Scott men and the Webster men will come toge- ther in support of the same candidates for Seaators and Representatives? Itis not ; and what would follow t Why, that tho six Suffolk Senators, and forty-four Boston Kepresentatives, heretofore con- sututing tho very back-bone of whig logislative strength, would fail of an clection ; and tho senato- rial vacancies would be filled by tho choico of six democrats orfreo soilers, while the oity would go un- repreeented inthe House. This consideration bas, to my certain Leiter operated on the minds of whigs, who, two mont ago, wero fairly foaming at tbe mouth st the though of Mr. Wobster having been set asido in behaif of General Scott. Nor wouit theee losecs atand alone. Roprecentatives would bo loat to tho whige through a Webster movement in Cini Roxbury, New Bedford, Lawrence, aud some er places, to the number of some thirty, poh more ; while ail chances of regainin, Ow would bo lost, to say nothin ol other places now considered ‘* doubtful It is extremely doubtful whether one whig would be ciected to the Senate. In Hampshire county, bich cleets two Senators, the whig mejority was 735 Inet year; in Barnatable, also ontatled to two Senntors, the whig majority was 485; in Nantuoket and Dukea (one senater) that majority was 130. A Webster movement would break down such slender majorities as those, and loave not tho ghost ofa whig to haunt thet hall in which for more thar twenty ycars the whigs held sovereign sway. The coalition are sure to elect cight senators, even against the whige and the Von “ rummies,”” and mort probably they will choose nineteen. Tho Jegislatury, thus constituted, will have to choose a Governor, # LieutenantGovernor, nino Executive Councillors, a United States Senator, and so forth. Then look at the effect of & bolting movement on the Congressional elections. Suppose that the whigs should keep united, and that the coalition should not be extended to Congress men, thore would be nize, perhaps ton, whigs chosen to the next United States House of Representatives; but if the whigs should aplic up their party, itis by no means im- probable that our whole dolegation would be com- sed of democrats or free svilers. Even the two ston districta would in such an ovent bo lost te tho®| whigs, as there would be a Webster whig and a Scott whig run in each, neither of whom could obtain so many votes as would be thrown for a democrat, supposing. the latter to receive the votes of the free soilers. There is not a single dis- trict upon which the whigs, would rely, in casea ee 3 electoral ticket should be placed in the e! I mention these considerations because I know Bey re precisely those which have had weight with not a fow Webster men, and prevented them from acting in acecrdance with their feelings. They see that their action would bear comparison only with that of the bull in the crockery shop—it would be eminently destructive, but not particularly use- ful. To suppose that such considerations have not presented themselves to their minds, that they have not had some weight with thom, would be to look upon them as a set of lunatics, which would not be complimentary to either leader or followors—to Mr, Webster or to those who admire him. And what is there to be gained, to offset so many losses? The electoral yote of tho state? The thing is too absurd to be Card ase of. That vote would be lost to General Scott beyond all doubt, but it would not be gained for Mr. Webstor; it would be given to General Pierce, who would receive from five to ten thousand more votes than General Scott, and from twenty to thirty thou- send more than Mr. Webster. The latter gentleman would stand third on the list, and would be far in- deed behind even the lowest of his opponents, for full two.thirda of the whigs would lock upon him in the light of traitor, a word that has been frequent- ly connied with his name here during tha last manth or two. I know it is said that a dissolution of the whig organization on the Presidential question need not be followed or rather accompanied by a breaking up of local arrangements ; but such a remark can como only fronr men who are ignorant of human neture as wodified and colored by political circumstances. Did the barnburners and democrats of New York coa- Jesce on State officers, after the former had ‘*bolt- ed” to defeat Gen. Cass? The disruption would be ccmplete as to time, and perhaps would be final. I wsy mention that some people are slow to be- lieve that any Webster movement can take place, beevuse Mr. Webster stands before the world as the second officer of a national whig administration, and they cannot believe that such an administration wor ake part in an attempt to break up the whig patty, which has taken its second candidate frem the cabinet, and whose delegates came very neat nominating Mr. Fillmore. Whatever complaint Mr. Webster has against the Baltimore convention, Mr. Fillmore cannot share very largely in it. Fither men are very much deceived, or the demo- cratic party arc on the eve of one of their greatost triumpbs. All tho gentlemen from other States, who passed through hero on their way to the Hillsbo- rough mecting, told one story. I have seen and con- versed with men from New York, Connecticut, Ohio, Pennsylvania, California, and several ofthe ‘outhern States, and they all say the same thing—Pierce is to pep My thea? The whigs aro in lower spirits #] T ever before saw thom. The nomina- tion of Mr. Hale, and the movements of the Web- ater men, scem to have taken tho spirit all out of them. Some of them say that the Webster move- ments have for their ond nothing more than a nope on the part of those engaged in them to contro) the Whig State Convention, which will meet en the Ist of September. This avgertion may be found literally correct, after all. Wo are likely to have amusements enough in Bos- ton, this season and rexs, in the theatrical line. The Museum has been open for a fortnight, under the supervision of its excellent proprietor, Moses Kimball, who is, as ever, auniversal favorite. Mrs. Barrett, who secms to have discovered the fountain of youth, will commence an engagement there on Mouday. The Ravels wil) close at the Howard next week, and will be followed, for a fortnight, by Wizard Anderson, when tho regular theatrical sea- son will commence. Among the celibritios who will appear there, I understund, is Miss Kimberly, who, it is said, will revive some of the old English dramas—a department of literature with which she is better acquainted than any other lady in this country. The pew Natioual rises almost as fust as did Aladdin’s palace, acd will, | presume, be com- leted by the 20th of September—the day specified ip the contract. It presents a most magnificent aj pearance, even in its present unfinished state. It will be larger than its predecessor, and an honor to all concerned. It is generally supposed that the company with which it will be opened will surpass anything that has yet been seen in Bosten. But litile bas yet been done toward tho erection, of the new theatre on Macon street, which will be the fashionable drematic houre of Boston; the Quepn’s Theatre, as it were, of the three-hilled city. Such an establishment has long been wanted hero. The Athenwum Gallery ef sculpture and igen J has been re opened, and has some splendid speci- mens of the fixe arts. Let mo advise all of your readers who visit Boston, and have a spare hour or two, to dropin at the gallery of Needlework pio- tures at Amory Hail, on Suromer street. It will repay them well. Signor Blitz is astonishing all ercation with his Jegion of learned Canaries, and his own wéfderful tricks Mr. Hawthorne's “Life of General Pierce” will be a most beautifol addition to our literature. [ saw some sheots of it the other day, and found it admirable, at the same time that it is capitally adapted to the purpose for which it was com- menced. The democratic meeting at Faneuil Hall, last night, was a magvificent affair, and the ecaudien held on until mianight, a thing of rare occurreuce here. A gentleman, just returned from ashington, says that he had & long conversation with Mr. Web- ster on politics, in the course of which the Secretary expressed his approbstion of the conduct of thov of his friends who are moving bere in hiv behalf, and his anxious desire that the electoral vote of Massa- cbusetts should not be given for General Scott This ia no report or rumor, but the substance of a most intimate conversution between the great Secro- tury and a leading de atof high standing. is inferrible that he Webster has bimerif had some- thing to do with the suddeu waking up of his friends here, a¢ displayed in their * protracted meetings” of this week.

Most SincuLar a an early hour on Wednesday evening, Mrs. Elisa- beth Bowker, residing in the house of Mrs. Day on the east side of Butlor street, between Fou and Fifth streots, had occasion to repair to the privy in tke rear, and took with her a lighted cam- dle. She bad not been there but a fow moments, when a sudden and violent explosion took place from the gas in the vault igniting with the blase of the candle; lurid flames at the same timo rushed forcibly up against the roof. Mrs B. having clesed the door, could not get into the open air imme- diately, and when she did her person was care loped in flames. Hor loud seroams brought the neighbors to her assistance, who extin, the flames, but not before she had beon vory badiy burned on the neek, arms, and different of her body. Yesterday afternoon we visited soene of tho accident, under the guidance of Mr. Thomas McLean, street commissioner, and found Mrs, B- in a very critical situation, so much so that her life isin extreme jeopardy. While there, Mrs. Bryea, iso @ resident of the same house, informed us that # similor explosion haa similarly occurred, some two months previous, to ber son William, but that he, having lett the door open, wasenabled te esospe without being hurt. The circumstance struck usee eo singular tha‘, naturally fond of experiments, we requested the injured woman's husband, who was present, to procure alight, which he did, and having ignited some shavings, threw them into che vault. i very elight explosion was the consequence, che flames flasbed up even through the roof of the tenement, for at least fifteen seconds. Tho privy, newly erected, is located upon what is tei “¢made ground,” and is partially full of water, the former fact rather precluding the idea of fire or carbureted hydrogen, from forming in so fr apd peculiar a soil. Our opinion js, that by some means, to us unknown, « species of sulphareted hydrogen has there formed, which—doos not oar knowledge of chemistry fhil—explodes when brought into contact with flame. Ofcourse, we da not pretend to account for this apparent phonome- ron, and request Dr. Locke, or some of our ecientifie mev, to investigate and report wy the matter, whether all privies are liable to the same accidents.
