I This wretched man ia approaching his final
oom. hriday, the,-30th day of August.poxl is
the.time fixed upon for his cxecultoA, The. Gov
ernor and Council of Massachusetts, after much
anxious dnd painful deliberation, have refused to
the sonlonch pronohnCedby the 1 court.
Nothing remains, ihetsforet for. I'fulyssor Web
ster hut. to make' peace with his God, and ask
forgiveness for' the dreadful.sin, ho ; .committed,'
and for which ho ia about to sulfor an ignominious
death. .
Hie Governor, and Council of Massachusetts
have had a responsible duly to pcrfnrtn*in this
mutter, ami they have discharged that duty like
men, having the good of community and the laws
: of-. their. Slate at- heart.- Never, perhaps,', in the
history of crime was a more atrocious murder
committed than that of. Dr. Parkman, and never,
perhaps, were greater efforts employed to screen
the murderer and cheat thu law. Not only Mas-
Jsachusctts, but other Stales, sent in hundreds of
petitions, asking for the full pardon of the mon
'Stof, Webster, after he had been' found guilty by
a Jury, of his country, and every, effort that inge
nuity oould devise was used to elfect this object,
but all to no purpose. Tito Governor of Mai
sachuselts appears to he a man of nerve, and
could hot he seduced from discharging a plain
duly, howovei painful that duty might be.to his
feelings. This is evidence that the law is not a
mere ropo of sand, but positive, and applicable to
all men—the rich and tho poor, the high and the
low. We agree with Re public Ledger, That
paper says: -
Much was said,in other communities against
the verdict, and much will probably be said in the
same, against the execution. We protest against
!, •"th pressure, ns lending directly to defeat i
[lie duo administration of criminal laws. If the
laws of each .Stale ate lb be thus'controlled by
public Ofininn in oilier Stales, each Stale may as
well sitrrvnder all its reserved sovereignty, for in
such case, each Stale is the vassal of all the rest;
All such interference is impertinent, and the ob
jects of it may justly say to such meddlers, “Mind
[your own business; enforce your own laws, if
you are honest enougli for the purpose; and leave
us tp enforce ours. VVhyn in need ofyour advice
wb can ask for it. Xlul while feeling competent
to our own business, we must reject yoiircouhae)
aa officious and unecessary.** ' .
Congress. —The slavery discussion still occupies
ie lime of Congress. The letter writers nl Wash.
mgton entertain the opinion that Iho Compromise
Hill offered by Mr. Cloy will be defeated jo the SeH
nto, but they think the vote will bo very close. Well,
let the vote bo lahon nt onco. This everlasting de
bate should bo brought to a close.
Ilcanv Ci.av made another strong speech in the
Semin on Mobdoy last in support of the Compro.

subject. Ho wna ready to have the vole—ho believed
the country demanded action. 110 denounced, in
strong language, the. now' paper .established nl
Washington, under the auspices of southern men—

Death of Sin lioBEnT Pee,..— By the last arrive)
of Foreign news wo learn that Sir Robert Peel was
hilled a short lime since by a fall from bis boric,—
The Ledger aayi this'accident adds another to tin
list of English Prims Ministers win have died from
violence. Percivsl wss assassinated;" Huakiason
was hilled by a radioed train—one of tin first over
run; Caallerongh committed suicide. ' ' -
Sir Robert was undoubtedly fine of tin ablest stales
men which England Ins produced. Ho Ins done
more (or her commercial freedom than any other
man. The liberal, policy which that counlry has
adopted in removing commercial restrictions from
tin n.iliuhi trading with England is (In effect ol

Tins Is the warning cry of our Democratic ex
cfianges thlouglioul the Slate In reference to llio
election of members of tile next Legislature. Wo
reiterate it! Send none but good and true men!—
M Cn , 10 CBn foiled on in every emergency.—
Much depends upon tho next Legislature. A United
Staton Senator is to bo elected, and while we proscribe
nc man, we desire to sco. one elected who shall do
honor alike to the State, by his commanding talents,
as well as to the parly by his strict adherence to
those national principles upon which the Keystone
Democracy have planted themselves. Wo are awaro
that in this contest wo liavo.dirootly ho part nor lot
—Hint so far as the two houses of oaf Stale Legisla
ture are concerned, the Democracy of Brio obunty'
are impotent—but in the result of liio deliberations
of these bodies in naming the individual who shall
represent the Senate of the United Stales, the twenty
five hundred Democratic voles of Eric county claim
to have as deep an interest as any other twenty five
hundred Democrats in the Stale. Wo say then to
our brethren in Democratic counties,'send none but
guoi men to U,e next Legielature. For it is .lend to
| men of tried integrity—of unimpeachable political
honesty—of unyielding firmness and adherence to
iho long established usages of tho parly, that wo can
look for safely. Send none bat such men then I—let
no po ilicai mountebank, who mey have sought our
ranks fur selfish ends, ride into power’and placo on
'ho strength of “regular nominations,"{hat he may
he Iho firet to disregard such nominations when
seated in our legislative halls 1 Wo want no toady
cl privileged monopojy in the Senate of the United
dliuea. want no trimmer to every popular
breozo that blows from North or South . Wo want a
National man, with National instinct®, National feel
ings uml Notional principles! Give us such an onol
? r f*i ,ve o UB noi, ,° • Wo would rather bo represented
»n the Senate by an obUand-out whig, whose political
courao is bold, open and manly, and in accordance
with tholong established land marks of his party,
than by ah “ur-and-af’' Democrat wrapped up in the
rotten carcass of a full blown Demagogue. • We ‘ ro
peal, then, let the warning he rung from tho Delaware
to the Lakes—hoed.well that yonr nominations bo
good, true and tried men.— Erie Obierver.
Tlio Pittsburg Poll copies the above, and ssya—
"Wo like the spirit of the above, copied from that
soiled and radical paper, the Erie Obicntr.' Tho
Democratic press of the Stale, with the oil-option of
one or two conservative shade, which arc under tho
influence of Simon Cameron,'have taken a decided
stand in favor of the nomination of honest and relia
ble Democrats for tho Assembly. If there is unan
imity amongst tho Democracy of Pennsylvania on
any one subject, it is that of keeping Cameron out of
the U. S, Senate. Ilia only chance is to bargain
with Ilia political admirers, the Federal Whigs; and
the probabilities of that party having a' majority in
tho Legislature nro eltrsmoly slight. h . ’

LATE FROM CALIFORNIA.
Arrival of the Orescent City!
ANOTHER GREAT FIRE AT SAN PBANCIi
$lBO,OOO IN GOX.D DUST.
Nxw Yon*, July 23*
The steamship Crosont City, with dales from Ban
Francisco to tho 11 its of June, has just reached her
dock. . Tho passengers on board have $lBO,OOO in
gold*. • ,
On (ho 14lli of Juno (hero was another dreadful
f lira at Sun Francisco., Throo hundred building's
' were destroyed, and (ho loss was estimated at 95..
I 000,000. *
, The Crescent City arrived out at Cbagres in. 9
i days via Kingston; Ja., from Now York, and left
Chugros on Saturday the 13lh of July, 12 o’clock,
and arrived at her dock in Kingston, at 4 o’clock,
1 P. M., oh the 15th, 52 hours from Chngros, and left
Kingston on 4he morning of lho 16ih inst., at 6
o’clock, A. M., and arrived hero July 22d, 1 o'clock
P. f M.,’in six days and seven , hours.
Tho steamer Columbus arrived at Panama on His
6th Inst ; having left Sin Francisco on the ISlti ull.
She brought 150 passengers and $130,000 in gold
dust on freight, and llie mails.
'Prom tho Alla Californian, Jonc 18.
Wo have scarcely cdurago. or spirit to attempt
calmly to record this last and almost terribly disas
ter to our apparently doomed City.. Wo know not
how to sufficiently collect our thoughts or bur.ener
gies under (his stunning blow. In little more than
three hours, at least two thirds of tho wealthiest por»
tion of tho City has been consumed. .The properly
of the heaviest houses in (own—tho hard earnings
of years of successful industry—have been swept
away. Gloom and desolation has settled on many
a stout heart. Many a man -in easy circumstances
has boon brought to the verge of ruin; The Com
mercial greatness oC'this fair City has received a
shock from which it will not recover for many a
month to come. It is the will of God—we bow with '
humility (o this awful dispensation of an all wise '
providence. *
1 <> 16 ro or, *S* natc d In d baok building attached to
UieSucmncntu House, between Sacramento and Clay
streets. It commenced a little before 8 o’clock, A.
and os the wind was high at (ho time, it'com
municated quickly with the adjoining buildings.—
When we arrived at tho scene of conflagration, the
Homos were roaring in on immense volume from (ho
mrcclion ofSaoramcnlo street to the corner of Mont
gomery and Clay. Tho Mayor and al) the principal
citizens were promptly on the groond, but tho. sup.
ply (of w_alor being limited, no effort was of any
avail to arrest Its progress, short of Clay street—.
Hero a determined stand was mode, but notwith
standing the most active and ceaseless exertions, tiio
sp roatl 10 1,,e norlli' B‘do snd extended as far
as Mr. Naglqe’s unfinished building, on Montgomery
street, iho banking house of James King, on Wil
ham street, was torn down, and this enabled the cl-
? rr f #l . 1,,fl P ro £ r « M of the fire at this jifint.
Mr. Wagleo s loss is comparatively trifling. The*
entire lors is sstimatod at from three to four millions
of dollars.
Tho 4th bf July was celebrated at Panama, with
processions, speeches, dinners, dtc.
Panama continues to bo very healthy. There arc
pul few cases of any kind of disease among thu cm*
■grants, and as (ho weather conlinucs cool and plea*
saht, tho least care on the purl of strangers will gen.
crafty protect them from the danger of illness.
Tho number of Americans at Panama, at (he
lime the Crescent City left, was less than al any
timo within tho Inst six months. This is attributed
to tbo superior facilities afforded to passengers for
Sah Francisco,
There are steamers leaving every week, so (hat
those arriving without through tickets can got off
without an difficulty, in a few days.
Throughout the Mining .Regions** groat deal of
inactivity prevails. Thejwator is yet too high to al
low successful digging/and the great bulk of the
miners are leisurely awaiting tho fall of tho streams.
Ihe number of miners upon tho different streams
have greatly Increased since the lust season, and
when the mining season shall have fairly commenc
ed/groat quantities of gold dust will bo fortliconw

SEASONABLE} RECEIPTS/
Tho following rccofylt,-In time'for the present Sea
son, which havu boon abridged for the Gonn mtown
Telegraph, will be found lobe the best of their
kind. ,
Onrrant.Wlnre*
1 A palatable and wholesome wine—or at least use*
medicine,"in many casus—may bo uvtdo
from the currant. Wo have, says tho Albany Culth
valor, 1 la former years, made wins from the rod cur*
rant by the following recipe, which was .considered
of so line a quality .as to be ordered by the physl
cians fur their patients, in prcfsronco to imported
kinds. Its cast was not over fifty cents per gallon.
To each gsilsh of clear juice was added two gal
lons of water,-and to each gallon ofllio mixture was
added throe and a half pounds of brown sugar.—
After (ho sugar waa dissolved, (ho liquor was pul
into good barrels, placed in (he.cellur; ond when thd
fermentation hud subsided, it was bunged tightly.—
In February, ono gallon* oftho boat fourth proof
brandy was added to ths barrel. In May following,
il was bottled. Llko oilier wines, il improves with
age.
While wine may .bo mode with white currants/
using the same proportion of white sugar us is ns*
med of brown, tor the obbve,—the liquor to be troa.
ted in the tome way,- except lhal'no braddy lx ad
ded.
Elder Wlrte.
This wine js considered an excellent rettndy In
Influenza, lore throat, &o. Recejtt.— To every
quart of berries pul two quarts of water, bull half
an hour,-break the fruit ond run the liquor through
a hair stove ;• then tu every quirt of juice put three
quarters of a,pound of Lisbon sugar, oosfso, bni not
the very ooarsosi. 801 l the whole a quarter of an
hour with some Jamaica poppers, ginger, and a few
cloves. Pour it Into a tub; and when of a proper
warmth; into the barrel, with toast and yeast to work,
which (hero is more difficulty to make it to do than
most other liquors. When it cesses' to hiss, pnt a
quail of brandy to eight gallons, and Hop up. Dot’
110 in (ho spring or at Christmas. The liquor must
bo in a warm place to make il work.
Black Currant Wide*
This wins has always been regarded os highly
useful in M summer complaint,” a most distressing
and too frequently fatal disease. Some of it should
always be kept on hand. Receipt:— I To every throe
quarts of juice, put (ho same quantity of wulcr, un
boiled { and to every throe quarts of the liquor, add
three pounds of very puro moist sugar. Pul it into
acaak, reserving a little for filling up. Pul the cask
in a warm, dry room, and (ho liquor will ferment of
itself. Skim off tho refuse, when the ferm.tnlation.
shall be over, and fill up with tho reserved liquor.—
Whon.il ha* ceased working, pour throe quarts of
brandy to forty quarts of wine.- Bung it close for
nine months, thon.bottlo It, and drain Oio thick part
through a jolly bag, until it bo clear, and bailie that.
Koop it ton- or twelve months.
Currant Jelly*
Place the currants in a stone or glass jar, and nut.
