We have sought to disparage no other candidate; we have endeavored to enlist no support on party grounds. The time has come, we think, in which the welfare of the country requires that Mere par ty claims should yield• to higher considerations : and we feel that in the , support of Mr. Webster, good citizens of good parties add in both of the great sections of the country, may cordially and , consistently unite. Fella► citizens of the Hotted States—Ott the 7th 'of March, 11550, Mr. Webster said, in commencing his Speech...l speak to-day for the preservation of the Union. Hear me for my cause.

Kossuth continues to receive the ovations of the English people, notwithstanding his republican avowali, and the continued attacks ol the London Timm . Re has been received with dis tinguished honor at Birmingham and Manchester, at both of which places he made : Mug and eloquent speeches, which . were warmly applauded. The Landon limes, after trying unremittingly in write Kossuth down, and to report him down, has at length knocked under itself, and relaxed to pub. 'lash his speeches. There is a reason for this course. That paper is tLe organ of the stock4ibbers runt bran contractors, who fear that the course which Kossuth is pursuing will depreciate the price ot Ansulan bonds, in s ure the Austrian funds, and de. range Austrian finances, which are in a very tick. fish position at present, without any prosper( of a favorable change. Tins last is, no doubt, the cause of the London Zinn rearing resting friteport Kossuth ;but according to all appearances, the illustrious Maygar can gel tdong without the Timer,. and without - the patronage:of the stockjobbers. - There appears to be a lull in political matters in'' F:nglatel, which may continue until the nssembling of Paillament in Februitry next. Ali parties ap pear to be resting on their oars. anxiously awaitin,e the introduetiou of the Reform bill, which it is v elf understood, Lord Jelin 'Russell intends to place be fore that body as soon after its assembling as may be. The basis of the reform proposed is an esten• 140» of the elective franchise. flow far it is to be extended no one knows at present ; but to be saris factory to the people, the concession must be con siderable, and be followed by others. Reform is the wathlovonl in England, and reform is the' only mean. of warding oil revolution, which will cer minty break out in Europe before many years.— The time has comer whet, a great concession ol pm lineal rights must be made to the -English people ; and when it is granted, others will be demanded, until at length universal suffrage will be the role —. This will be the ultimate result, for the masses are (*coming loud in then demand*. The pressure from without cabins, be resisted by thegovemment, and the pineal of Kossuth is making it more potent than ever The reforms about to be proposed by Lord John Rcssell must be followed up by other concessions. His_ trill will only be an entering wedge. The more that et conceded, the more there will be demanded. and the mronger and more irresistible will be the popular cry. When this takes place, the House of Commons, representing the people. witranack the corruptions which have so long existed in England. The church establishment will be assailed. reforms, will he introduced in every department of the gor. eminent, and a clottfliet between the Common,' and the Lords and privileged classes will be the conse quence. In suet, a conflict, the House of Lords would be demolished; and would be convened into a body resembling the Senate of the United States; and eventually the government would become as republican as oars, with a monarch without power at the head.—flerald. ufita L friclay,'Nete.. 2‘elssl.

At 111 the prisoner was brought from his cell, ac companied by Rev. Mr, Fowler. He was attired in a black coal and pants, and his arms tvero behind him. On his head was the death-cap, and around his neck the tatal rope. He was placed on a chair beneath the galterrs. Rev. Mr. Fowler then said : u Conklin wishes .me to say for him, that he has nothing to add torhat which its has already committed to paper, but he prays that his awful example may be sanctified to 411 present—he prays that it may be a warning to al to short his course, and to papers you for the attain death that awaits you all—he entreats that you may all be ready at the appointed hour, to meet him in jedgmett." The reverend gentleman then delivered a fervent prayer for the pardon of the pri.oner, and that he might be with Christ that hour in Paradise. Conklin said, "Jesus receive my Spirit." Mr. Fowler responded, "The Lord' have mercy on your soul." The prisoner was perfectly calm and exhibited no signs at tear, but met death like one who saw a better proved seyonn the tomb While unde„r-Sherifl (Morn was adjusting the rope; Conklin °newer twice repeated the winds, Loid Jesus receive my Spirit." The death-cap was pulled over his face, the-rope was cut, and Conklin was instantly raised ae,vera) feet from the ground. His neck was not broken, but the yeti: rendered him insensible, and he probably suffered no pain afterward, although los pulse was observed, by Dra.

FACTS.—In the census tables for Pennsylvania is the year 1850, there are recorded 77.399/arms / i{ere, then, we have the source of wealth, and the cause if our vast prosperity defined ; for it is the pr duration of the farmstead that forms the basis of all other industry. Without aerieulorre we can have nn trade—no manufactures—no commerce— no mechanical labor. Extend this basis of labor and you extend all other branches of industry, by the most facile and agreeable mode of self-interest operating spontaneously through individual enter. prise.

Variety of industry results in leisure, FM• sore, education, and literature, the fine art., and. all that exalts his nature, and subdues his evil pea. ohms. Thus one pan of this world is „subsisted by another that it May rise higher, in inteareence, art, seisnee, and invention. Agriculture lies at the bottom-off alt civilization; and the only wonder is that our Census table for '5O dues not ahem as many bendreilihousand, as it shows thousands of i• lanes?' which we the real ca Iles of a free Coon try ; as, the farmer is the natural nobleman et the sod.

This stairway is not spirgl. but is (turned:of short flights of stairs winding round square well. The first or ground Boor is used evil Play ground for the scholars, and is paved with flag tutees. The accord Mary of the building is occupied by the primary department of the institu tion ; in the third story is the female department of the upper school. anitin the fourth story the male department. The entrance to each of the achool rooms is from the landings untie stairs The out er side of the stairs was guarded by an ordinary wooden bannister. of au great height. and not firm ly secured at the bottom. or where balusters were connected with the stairs. This description of the stairway will enable the leader better to under- I stand what follows. ist about two o'clock, yesterday afternoon. one of the the teachers in the female department. a Miss Har rison, was taken•with a fainting and in order to her recovery she was carried into thepassage way where a cry was . raised of.' Water Water !" by. one of. her compaions. This cry was not under. stood, or else the scholars *ought that the reater was wanted to extinguish fire. and the next moment the cry of "Fire t" was raised, and spread lake wild fire through the building. In a moment subordi. nation was at an end. The children from the pri macy department rushed to the stairs, as did also the scholars on the floor above them. The stair way was soon filled, and the press against the haict sters so great that they gave way, precipitating the. children over the stairs down to the ground door— As the rush increased, so did the numbers that were hurled over the stairs into the space below.— Two of the female teachers made an effort to stop thechildren t but as great watothe panic that their efforts were vain. and they wrre themselves hur ried along with the current and in spite of their ef forts were carried over the stairs into the space be low, In the upper room, the boy's department. Mr.lllc- Nally took his stand with his back against the door end forbade any one to go out. A . :though the pan ic pervaded his room es well as the rest of the building, yet he stood finn, and thus succegdedin saving the lives of many. perhaps of hundreds. for had the larger boys rushed upon the stairs as did the younger chitdren. Heaven only knows how much more sad would have been the disaster than it now is. We learn that some of the boys jump ed out of the windows. and that one of them had his neck broten by the fall. There were al•ogeth er-in the building but a few short of 1,1!00 scholars. While Mr. McNally remained 6rat at his post the destruction of life was going on below. Hundreds on hundreds went over the stairs anti) there was a pile of human beings-a mass of children—eight feet square and about t 2 feet in height. The alarm was now given outside, and the police were soon at hand and took possession of the premises, as well as they could and commenced tht work of handing out the children from their perilous posi tion. Those that were on the top, were of course. but slightly injured, but as soon as these had been re moved, the most heartrending spectacle presented itself. Some among the policeman were fathers, whose' own children were there. They worked manfully, and deserved all praise; many of them lifeless at first came to when they once more breathed the fresh air, but many alas were beyond aid, and death was but too.plainly marked Upon their pallid features Some were injured by the fell, and lay writhing its agonj; some moaned, while others shrieked with pain, and otlfrs again, when releas ed, waned off for home. apparently unconscious of the awful scene through which they had passsed. One policeman, Mr. riesbring, on going to the school house. was on the instant, greeted by the sight his title girl's face; her head was all that was visible, her body being co -tired with those of her companions. Mr. Seabring u r ged by pa terna l reeling; th of course directed . efforts lit once to the release of hi. daughter. While he was so en gaged, a man came up and laid hold of him, say ing "hay child i‘ tkere." and endeavored to lake the place nn which Mr. Beabring stood. Finding he could not move him, he struck at him, thus en deavoring to displace Mr. 8.. and get in a position to work more effectually in search for his lost child. lifr.s . succeeded in rescuing his child, who proved to be but slightly injured. The hodies of the dead and wounded were mo.it ly, unless claimed on the, spot, taken to the Ninth ward station house which is near the school house, In a few minute* news of the accident spread through the neighborhood. and mothers genie rush ing to the scene by scores, in all aasuish. but alt at first buoyed up by hope. Occasionally a moth er would recognize the lifeless form of a child eats was lifted from the mass, and then the piercing cry of agony that woad rend the air, on. God, may it never be oars again to hear. And now the neighborhood wait threraughlv aroused. and crowds docked to the scene of disaster. Many of the dead dying, and wounded, were taken to the station house.where the entire lodging room of the police man was turned into a hospital. and their beds all used as conches for dead bodies or injured children. This was indeed a sad sight; parents who-a chil dren Were missing came here to confirm thrirhopes or fears. Here might be seen a lifeless body, with an agonising mother *landing over it, wringing bet hand• in the excess of her grief. 'there was a father looking at the picture of soy row, as he beh.-ld the form of a loved one that lie had so lately parted , with in health, and then fur ther on was a family standing round the bed of a little one, whose painful wri•hinga gave evidences of the ratieruccafferinge. One after another the bodies of the dead were removed ; and at length litters were provided, and the wounded were car ried away also. CAVeI6I 41/II biniSTllll. Fmtp she Joareel of Commerce It sppea-s tote a well snbitantiated fact. as we learn, indirectly from pupils and teachers. that for es•erat days previous to the fate di.a.ter. a rumor had prevailed, and the appreh.nsion bed been fre. fluently expressed by the children, that the building was in danger of falling. Of cuurse, it was alto. gether groundless. and its origin cannot be es. p/ained; but its existence accounts in Sam , meas ure, for the extraordinary panic which seized opo) the minds of the children. With considerable number of those who escaped, the impression ap. peered to have been. that the school was actually falling As to' ihe banisters. it appears that the teachers had car regarded them as sufficiently strong, and had alluded in conversation to theirapparent weak ness. The boys, it seems. had a habit of slitting down upon them. The facts in the case will doubt less be elicited by the Coroner's inquest to•day. tolaciALL4store.
