Taylor to inform the Senate' oftho charges that had, been preferred against the thousands of Da muernts who.hod been .'removed from office. This resolution waft nothing more-than, justice to those Democrats who had been removed ; for it will be re* collected, that Gen. Taylor, after luseleclion, declar ed that no men.should-be removed from' office except for incompetency, or dishonesty; Every Democrat, therefore, who was removed from office, was thus bran* ded ab a dishonest and incompetent man. Thorcao iution was offered injustice to these removed officers, .whose characters Were thus assailed by the hlghes.l of our Government;. And,,bad Gen.-Taylor 'possessed one spark of honor or honesty, hp would promptly huYo anawered tho resolution,and staled In what manner (lib removed officer* had been dishon. csl or incapable, or acknowledged,that ho hud utter* cd a falsehood when he publicly ’declared that he would make no removals except for cause.'But, like (ho man, he Ins never elated his reasons for terno* virg those men, and they must (bus ttibunl to the foul imputation cast upon them. In thb Senate s few di'ys since, Truman Smith, the loader and defender of (lie administration, deliv ered a speech' ol considerable length, in reply to Mr. Bradbury—-ond such.a speech! Why Mr, Smith made confessions that should pul every honest Whig to the. blush. Tie l.ibored hnrd (6 show, first, that the democratic papers did not believe General Toy lor whea ho tnado hi* pledge* against proscription; and, second, he attempted to prove, end succeeded in the effort, (hit General Taylor ids not lo believed ) from, which postulates he deduced very logically the conclusion that General Taylor bad broken no pledgee! , (le dors not deny the.fact that Gon. Taylor, both be fore and after bis nomination by the whig conven tion at Philadelphia, made pledges against proscrip lion for oplnlonVsake. He.does not deny the au*- Uicnlicily of the f.lppard letter, nor of various other letters written by Gen. Taylor after his nomination* nor does ho deny the pledges against proscription, made in'behalf of Gen. Taylor nnd the whig party, by Mr. Cl.iytou in the Sjnalo, and Mr. Crittenden in his speech at Pittsburg, In winch ho asserted that he had seen a letter pledging Gen. Taylor against proscription. The facts are all substanli illy admit ted by Air. Smith. He, In, substance, admits that Gcucrul Taylor wrote (ho letters alluded to, and Messrs. C.aylon and Crittenden confirmed Ida pledg es after his nomination. But Mr. Smith contends ’hat the Democrats did not boUcvo them; in plain English, they believed that both General Taylor and )iis compurgators, Messrs. Clayton ond Crittenden, slated untruths with regard to Gen. Taylor's purpo ses and intentions in the event of hit election. And, therefore, with a logical acumen that eclipses Aris« tollc, Kant, Bacon, ond oil the other great logicians, ancient nr modern, Mr. Smith concludes that Gon. T.iylur made no pledges. And such Is the defence put forth for Gen, Taylor and (he cabinet by (heir champion in the United States Senate! ONE HAS FALLEN. In the death of John C.

Wo I will not attempt a delineation of hie character or the powers of his groat mind.' His name Is familiar to every man, woman and child, and ho was regarded hy all as a statesman of transcendent talents and commanding genius. In debate Mr. Calhoun was plain, strong, impassioned and severe. Ho was aU way* listened- to wUh the greatest attention. No man in (ho United Stales Senate spoke with more energy and earnestness, and, if he did not at all times carry conviction to Ins brother Senators, his remarks nero always received with admiration.— I Uur, ho is gone—llls active and vigorous mind will participate no more in tho councils of (ho nation— his clarion voice will never more be heard in the Semite chamber—his keen, restless, penetrating eyes arc closed forever In death I - John Caldwell Calhoun was born In Abbeville i District, in South Carolina, on tho 18th of March, 1782, nnd was consequently 08 years and 13 days old. liis family were of Irish descent, and had lived. In Pennsylvania, and afterwards in Virginia, prior to removing to Sooth Carolina, 110 was educated at Vale College, where ho graduated with (ho highest honors, In 1807,‘hd commenced iho practice of law. inlSll, he first look a seal in Congress. In 1817, Provident Monroe appointed him Secretary of War. | In 162-1, he was elected Vico President, by a major ity of 76, in tho electoral college over all others,— Ho held this office during Mr. Adams* term, and waste-elected tail when General Jackson came in. tn office. The doctrine of Stale Rights found in him timing this tho ablest and firmest supporter. -Owing lo the collision bolvveen him and General- Jafckeon| on this question* ho resigned his office of,Vico Pres ident, and was*ecnt by his Slate to (lid Senate in 1834.

PROS!. WBBSTfSn AND THE IUBITS OP r., ~ FASIUONAULELIPE. No judicial CVial oh record has ever excited bo much interest.in IUU country ..as.that of Prof- Webster... The murderer nnd'his victim both occupied elevated posilionsin the social relations' of .Boston. ..This.alone, threw- the.lipper-ipndom of the whole'country on' (tie ght t»tw« to ascertain thin result. Then Dr. Webster stood connected with a venerable university of which liq'had once been a graduate, and in due .time a ; professor. Ills range of.acquaintances was therefore large— embracing old class mates, long sines engaged in active life, and many pupils, whom himself had partly, qualified for their.profession. Ho had also spent several -years in a foreign land, and had brought homo a refined and intelligent wife, with whom he had reared to the point of budding womanhood, three beamifaland interesting daugh ters. Everybody in the land 101 l interested for them. Nor were tho.lees favored, iiaid working portion of our countrymen disinterested readers of the trial. They fcluhat in Dr. Webster, edu cation and position had exerted their influence, and their hearts sank within them to find how wofuily , these advantages had.'been perverted. In short, we are fully borne but'in our opinion of the. universal interest which attached to these wonderful proceedings aud.disclosures. - The., trial.is over, and its result is a fragment of history, forever to constitute an item of,crimi nal jurisprudence,. The prisoner had- the advan tage of able counsel,'and the benefit of all com petent testimony, which, a jury Composed °f twelve, different professions was to hearand de cide upon. . For ten, long, dreary days the trial progresses, and at its close the prisoner is pro-' noiincod ou/LrrT Guilty of murdering one who had been a creditor, friend and benefdptorl Aye, guilty too, of sitting hour ofter hbdr over the [mutilated remains of his victim, and. with a fiend ish deliberation commllPng lhcm v plecq by piece, to his'furnaoe,’whence they, wore to be dissipated upon the atmosphere and inhaled by the men women and children of Grove street!

Would that we could doubt the guilt of Prof. Webster, but no peg can we find on which to hang a doubt. Cast aside and forget Littlefield's testimony—take the Professor’s own admissions, and on that alone he would stand, covlcted. Ho grants that Df. Parkman was in. his room, at 1 o’clock of the fatal 23d of November— that .be paid him $163, and received his acknowledgement to that effect—that .Parkmnn left Tor the clerk's office to cancel a mortgage. Yet'no person ever saw Parkman leave the'college! The clerk's office was never entered for the purpose intimated I could never show the acknowledge- 1 menVdv And though some witnesses imaginedJ they saw Dr, Parkman between fl ami 5 on that! day, h seems that another gentleman resembling| him to a remarkable .degree, was on (he Street at (he same time. MApver, we pronounce it im possible that a mania generally known as.Dr, Parkman walk the atrects^Sßoston' three.squares without being seen by scores. How improbable too about the @483? Accordinglo his ' men I, he had been saving it up in it trunk*—» Where did he get ill Why cave it in a trunk when he did his financial business In a Bank? What sort of money was it—silver or gold or paper—and of what denomination 1 To these plain questions there was no satisfactory response. I Another strange fact is that Dr. Webster has | never attempted to account for his whereabouts that dreadful afternoon, nor for" the the body in his apartments, nor (lie unusual bar ing and,bolting of his doors. Considering then his own admissions, his conviction was fight* eous. Add to these the other circumstances revealed in, the testimony, and his guilt becomes' irrefragable. ' . . As to the penalty, wo say, nothing now. W* are content to leave that in iho hands of (he pub lic functionaries of SnfTulluconnty. But wo cannot dismiss the subject without a brief remark upon the most probable cause of the crime. Sociclt/ is not 6ledr of d share in this sad catastrophe. Jf men reach a certain position, the has of it is degradation. IlencOt sea. hud land, ore ransacked, heaven nnd earth are Com passed—for what ? To maintain appearances. Poor Webster's real Income wad-bolow the stand ard of his reported wealth. This kept hirfi for ever in debt to support his carriage, parlies and equipage. At last ho became the debtor of a practical financier, whoso call fur his money was as certain,as the arrival of the day on which it [became duo. Webster knew this, and (ho face I of Dr. Parkman haunted, him like a spectre of doom. But one alternative remained—either his own. loss of caste, or the assassination of his creditor. Pride and moral timidity forbade him , to come down, and consequently Parkman was l murdered. • Wo nro w1in33809 of the mawkish. sentiment* to which we have referred, and on several occasions have not hesitated to denounce it.

Tho session of the Legislature is rapicJljf drawing- to a close, U being within two days ol completing (ho length of time allottedto.ll. But ascircomstan- oos toiler cases, according lo Legislative parlance, iho body cannot pdjourn on the 10lh, there being yet so 1 much important business to dispose of. Tho fate of the Slate Apportionment bill, now in the hands of the Governor, Is extremely doubtful, the general ex pectation being that ho will veto. the same, and re turn it lo the Housoto-moirow. Then there is the general appropriaffWi bill, providing for. tho support of government and other groat purposes, tho various bank bills, and several projects of equal importance. In short, it is the bounden duly of tho Legislature to reniiiin in session until they secure tho apportion ment of the State (his year by the passage of a bill which shall have gone through all the forms of law. The majority must not sulfur themselves to be out generated and circumvented by the Executive and his partizms. “Hoiaworse than an infidel,'!’tie said, “who does not lake care of his own household." A great deal of business has been transacted in both Houses during the past week, but . generally in a loose way by creating “ omnibuses," or dozens of bills.ol) strong together and put under pno title with (ho addition of those equivocal words, “and for other purposce.” The bill for the' regulation of banks is in (ho hands of (ho oommilto of conference, and un til they report on tho subject, no legislation can be had upon any of the bmiis app’yirig for rcchartors, or to be chartered. . Should there be no action had, at least upon some o/ thbso monied institutions, much injury and inconvcnianco wilt bo felt in the community in which they are located in consequence of (heir having, to wind up their nffjirs because of ilto expiration of their charter. Among (he best manriged and soundest for (ho ammJnl of capital in vested, is the Lebanon bank. It is conducted by six Democrats, six Whigs, and one T ree SolloP, oil men of urtspolicd reputation-and wealth. Capital $BO,- 320, and circulation $33,085 ; does not discount over $5,000 lo any ono individual, and tho poorest man is accommodated witii ns small a sum os $5. Its bu siness is done chiefly,with grain dealers, merchants, sand traders; and the allegation set up that it has not •sufficient capital is unfounded, for it can safely dis count upon it, $30,000. a. year.. Tho opponents of tho recharlor of this bank consist .mainly of disap pointed m<#, .of (hose who could not bo accommo dated u second lime, they not having been es punct ual on the first occasion as they ought to have been. The charter will expire during the present year. Now, for,a different picture of another monetary institution, situated at Wilksbarrc, an applicant for rcchurtcr. Ills called tho Wyoming Bank, and has a capita) of $85,330. A vast number of remonstran ces have been presented in both Houses against re chartering it, selling forth in general, reasons simi to those contained in the following remonstrance:' .'•Tho Undersigned citizens of Luzerne County,• re spectfully represent, (hut (hey ore informed (hut tho Wyoming Bank, at Wilksbuiro,ls m iking .applica te your Honorable bodies for a renewal of charter, the undersigned, although net professing to bo op posed lo all banks indiscriminately, yet believing, as they da, that this bank, if rcchartercd, will be, as it has always been heretofore, o mere family pet for a certain clique or knot of speculators.u( and nbont Wilksbarrc, who have always been President, Direc tors, and Stockholders exclusively,* and /or the pur pose of speculation appropriate lo themselves exclu sively nil Iho nfccmhodalions end benefits arising from Such an institution, making,U literally, from (he intimate family connection subsisting between nil who govern and direct its operations, a family of. fair of no. use lo the public, liccansc (ho- public are not permitted to enjoy any of its nccomdaliomi, but often.a serious annoyance because of its impositions and tho operation of the illiberal spirit in which it is conducted. .We therefore earnestly and respectfully PtorrMinstrato against any bill granting a renewal of charter to such a bank. ' Tho moil'''powerful opposition is making and will continue lo bo made against granting a longer life to this ill-managed and uncommadaling bonk. IJc tides, if. tllporo properly and fairly conducted, its capital is entirely too small when the extraordinary amount of business, principally In tho coal trade of tho Wyoming volley, is taken.into consideration. In order to afford (be rcquisitc'sccnnirhoclations In those engaged, n bink with a capital of $OOO,OOO would be necessary .lo keep pack will) the annual In crease of the coal business in (hut region. The Pennslyvania Coul Company, which is lo go into operation this year, will do business to tho umplmt of 200,000 tons within twelve months, and require brink facilities to (ho amount of about 8150,000. Then taking (ho Delaware mid Hudson Canal com* p4ny and the other ten or fillccn firms,the sum total would be $175,000; and in tho same ratio by and for the year 1854, tho requisite amount of facilities would bo $1,300,000. Where then,it mny be o»kcd t would this little family bonk stand with but $65,000 icapital, $70,000 of which is either lust, or laid on i tho shelf ? Jt would bo nf no for good.
