SUNBURY AMERICAN AND SHAMOTUN JOURNAL. room to do a tlii ig which we trlsh'tl to con ceal. Was it brought there to fasten" suspi cion on Dr. Webster? Whero is the rnimy of Dr. Webster who cnuU attempt uch a thing! Uo is an amiable man, and no such enmity has appeared. There are two ways of impeaching a witness. One is to bring counter-testimony to show his falsehood. That is fair, and can be met by corroborating testimony. But the counsel for the defence liave not taken that way to attack Mr. Little field, because they know that if they did, they weuld bg directly, like unskillful engi neers, hoisted by their own petard. No ; they have come forward in their argument and attacked his testimony as an improbable tory. , I shall reply to that by and by. I hall now do my part to vindicate Mr. Little field, and it shall be no fault of mine if he ufTer under the crnol imputations that have eome forth from the prisoner. If ho is vin dicated that is an end to tha defence of Dr. Webster. Ho gave himself up to the fullest search of the police; every room anil closet and pocket of his premises were soarehed. Ho has told a story during a whole day on the stand, which stands altogether uncontradicted. If he had falsified, there were tho polico offi cers, Dr. Haniford, Mr. Giant, tho Odd Fel lows' Lodge, and many oilier, who could have been brought to show him up. Tho counsel remarks thai Mr. Liulefitsld had a full conviction of tho guilt of Df. Webster on Sunday, and did not act upon it. Mr. Little field is not a man who has the best command of language. He might describe a suspicion a belief, lie met Dr. Webster noticed his downcast eyes when ho opoke to him, and tha remarkable statement that Dr. Webster paid to Dr. Parkman money, and he grabbed it up and ran off w ithout counting it. Was it impossible that he should thus bo led to eusDect, and suspect strongly 1 Ha did sus pect, and mentioned it to his wifo as a be lief, and she discouragoil it. It was nothing but a suspicion. He had every motive to proceed prudently. It was not till the clouds began to gather around the college, and pub lic feeling threatened a mob, that he was brought to a resolution to act vigorously. Mr. Littlefield has, throughout, been con fronted with Dr. Webster. The inferior was tho superior. Liltlefield has spoken out ; Webster has been silent in his presence. He had only spoken nrjniiiat him behind his back. The counsel for tho defendant has objected to Littlefield's impiety, for accepting a tur key, for a solemn and reverential dinner of a murderer. But tho pathos is all lost, for there is no proof thai he ate that turkey. He dined away fiom home that day. But could he have refused it without the suspi cions of Dr. Webster! Mr. Liltlefield was in Dr. Holmes' lecture room in five minutus after Dr. Parkman entered the building; he was with Dr. Holmes washing up his glasses, and assisting him till a quarter past two ; he then came down flairs with Dr. Holmes; ho then went to work preparing tho furnaces for the next day; Mr. Busworth fo"und him in his working dress; afterward?, towards 4 o' clock, Mr. PettQ, transacted business with him; ha afterwards dressed himself, and went to Mr. Grant's dancing academy, and was there during the evening. We see what he was about and where he was that after noon and evening. Where was Dr. Webster? If Mr. Litllefleld had had the remains to dis pose of, he had the keys of jho dissecting room. That was the place where ho could conceal them. It has been asked, "Why did not Dr. Webster place them there ? Wo have several reasons to oiler." First, he had not the key ; second, he would have been ex posed to the view of tho students in attempt ing it. One thing is to bo premised, in consider ing the conduct of Dr. Webster. We may ay ha might have done this or that, but wo must remember the w hole history of crime hows that the criminal is foolish. Hu may think he is doing the most adroit and canning thing, while his conduct would seem to be folly in a child of ten years. This is the invariable order of Providence and law of our nature. Having a body to dispose of, a man naturally thinks of burning it, as a way which leaves no traces. It was Dr. Webster's object, supposing him the perpe trator of the deed, to avoid exposuro as well as to destroy. It was exposure that he fear ed most of all. ll was part of his plan to ap pear perfectly calm and at his ease; and in the whole history of crime, no man has suc ceeded better. We have had evidence of his power in this direction during this very trial, in this room, during all these exciting acenes when his daughters were present to testify to his life, and when the public prose cutor was too much affected to cioss-exam-ine, we have not seen him shed a tear, du ring the whole awful pioce", from striking the fatal blow till now. He has not once blanched, fultcred or be trayed any feeling till exposures confronted him; then he drooped, then ho betrayed a suffering which no innocent man could have felt. He lay in agony for three days, then he rallied himself to tho conflict again. Dr. Webster's character has been brought hero in his defence, but how can we rely on the outward culture when we know not what is in tho heart ? Tho outsido may be very fair, while a process of corruption is going on within. We connot rely on culture as a safe a guard against crime look at Eugene Aram and the Rev. Dr.Dodd, both men of the high est culture, who were executed for murder w hich they at last confessed. Dr. Webster's relations to Dr. Parkman cannot better be described than it has been by the learned counsel on the other side. He was exposed in that relation to ruin, loss of caste, charac ter and reputation. No starving man ever atola out lo murder with a motive to be com pared with that which operated on Dr. Web ster. In April, 1819, the actual indebtedness of Dr. Webster to Dr. Parkman was, accord ing to the statement of Mr. Cunningham, found iu Dr. Webster's pocket, f 456 27. This was secured by a mortgage, iu which other parties had an interest, to the amount of $512, making dun on the mortgage $968 17. , Would Dr. Parkman, with his habits of business, have given up a note and mortgage Jn which others were interested t No. He would bava given up hi own small note- would have endorsed his share on the large note, and then he would have delivered it over to the other parties in interest, that they might take their own feme'dy. It Is very remarkable that Dr. Webster did not owe Dr. Parkman the amount which he said he paid him. He hud over estimated tho interest in a way which Dr. Parkman would never have done. Would Dr. Webster, the exhausted, hunted debtor, have done such a thing? (The learned prosecutor went fully into falsi fications in the papers found on Dr. Webster. I proceed to consider the statements of Dr. Webster to Liltlefield, to Mr. Blake, to Dr. Francis Parkman, and brothers, respecting the payment of the money to Dr. Parkman. You will find they were equally inconsistent with each other Olid the truth. Dr. Parkman would never have cancelled that mortgage1, or have agreed to do so. There is a more seri ous question. Where did ho get the money with which ho pretends to have paid Dr. Parkman ? He has for four mouths had tho command of tho treasury ol this common wealth to get the testimony of those who have paid him this money. Ho shows not a dollar. His counsel have been perfectly aware of the importance of this point. They have claimed that he took a hundred dollars from tho money paid him by Mr. Pettee: that is too transparent a fallacy. Mr. Pettee called on Dr. Webster, Friday, Nov. 23d, at 9 o'clock, after he had made the engage ment to meet Dr. Parkman at his house, and ho told him the audacious falsehood that Dr. Parkman had, under aberration of mind, put his business out of his hands into those of Mr. Blake ; and that he would have no trouble with him, for he had settled with him. The ninely dollar check which Mr. Pettee paid him that morning he did not pay Dr. Park man. He deposited it the next day in the Charles River Bank. Why did not Dr. Web ster, hunted as he was, pay Dr. Parkman at his house, instead of asking him to the Col lege ? Was he any better prepared nt half past one than he was ai eight o'clock ? for, remember that the money he received of Mr. Pettee ho did not pay. Dr. Webster, we have seen, had no money to pay these notes. He cannot show that he had any. How, then, did ho come in possession of the notes ? His possession of these notes, un less he can show how ho came by them, is proof of tho most serious and positive nature, that he was connected with tho disappear ance of Dr. Parkman. I shall expend less time upon the stale of things in the laboratory than I had intended, from the time already consumed. Observe, gentlemen, that Dr. Webster carried tho key of that privy in his pocket. Would any gen tleman of culture be carrying about a cum bersome key, which ho could use for no hon est purpose any where else ? When asked for the key of the privy, pointing to the door, he said "it hangs there." Tho key to which ha directed was found lo bo that of his ward robe. Yet among the things taken from his pocket at the jail, was the identical labeled key which unlocked the door. Is it too much to say that the mutilated remains of Dr. P. were found underneath Dr. Webster's lock and key. It is asked why did Dr. Webster communicate with Dr. Parkman's family If ho were guilty, it would have been fatal to him ; he well knew not to do it tho servant of Dr. Parkman was likely to recognise tho man who called there to make the appoint ment. The notes would be in demand when the estates of Dr. P. should bo settled, and ho must show that he had paid them. lie left Cambridge to see the family after an early dinner, at half-past twelve o'clock, but he did not get there till nearly four o' clock, and what an interview it was! Ho was careful to speak of the payment of the money. There was no expression of sympa thy. We revert to the search by Mr. Clapp, at tho time the tea chest was seen, and tho parly was diverted from a anarch of the privy. Oa that night he kindled a fire in his furnace, covered it with the aoapstoncs and left it to moulder away. Ilo had then something else to attend to. His alibi must be kept up, and he flitted to Cambridge. That was a week of professional leisure. Why did he come ovei that afternoon 1 Was it only to give a turkey to Mr. Littlefield? Il.td ho any great chemical investigation going ou ? Why has ha not shown it ? On Friday he went to Mr Walcrrnau's, and ordered a tin box; ho then told a story about a mesmeric woman, very singular for such a man to tell. It is sug gested by his counsel, that this box was lo send plants to Fayal, and they were lo be kept from tho air. He said it was lo put books and small things in ; but why did he order a handle strong enough to hold one hun dred pound, and iu what condition would the plants have arrived at Fayal, after beirg Soldered up ? His daughter admits that they were" not then about to send any. Put your self, Mr. Foreman, iu the condition of Dr. W. at the jail, supposing him to be an innocent man. Ilo there asked Mr. Starkweather, be fore they had carried him to the jail, "did they find the whole of the body?" How could he have asked that, if he had not known that the remains were divided ? Again, in his agony on the bed, he said to Mr. Ciitn lriings, "1 expected this!" It was not in the pathetic tones of his counsel, that he made the assertion. "I do not believe those are tho remains of Dr. Parkman ; I am sure 1 do not know how they came there." No. It was rather in a flippant way that he said it. "I don't believe that it is any more the body of Dr. P. than it is mine ; I don't know how how on earth it came there." He is a teach er in a Christian University a college whose motto is Christ and His Church. He is a vic tim, as he pretends, of a foul conspiracy. He sils down to write to his daughter, and, I shall ask you, if in that note he manifests any reliance on God, or anything like tha spirit which should belong to a Christian man, in such circumstances? The turkey and rice from Parker' are thought of; he is intent wholly on his physical wants ; and he par ticularly requests that mamma should not open that little bundle, which turned out lo contain those fatal notes, which ara lha proof of his guilt. ' If ha premeditated '.hat crime but a mo ment, it is nevertheless murder. If there was not malice before, thore was afterwards. If we may ba allowed to cite that great lead er of humnn nature, "'Tis too bloody, first te cut off the limb, and then to hack them afterwards." We have had appeals in be half of the prisoner's family. I would not forget them; but there is another family that should not be forgotten that mother, tha partner of whose life, whose protector that has been taken away, is not to be for gotten ; nor that invalid daughter whose af fectionate father has been taken away; nor that son whose lot it was to hear of the death of his father in a foreign land, and enter upon his high responsibilities prematurely. It is not for you, gentlemen of the jury, lo exer cise mercy that belongs to another branch of government under our laws. Bui what is mercy! . 1 question whether the many mur ders that have thickened upon us ef late would have taken place, if juries had been true to their duly. There never was a case in this commonwealth which called more loudly on a jury to be firm to its high duty, and t think yon, gentlemenwill not be wont ing in yours. There are employed hero nlf (1 who will spread nil this evidence lo which you have listened on tho wings of the light ning, to all lands and into all languages, and your action upon it will go with it. Your ac tion will do honor to Massachusetts law and the deepest reverence lo the same principle of justice. Mr. Clifford closed ubout five o'clock. professor Webster's speech. The Attorney General having concluded his remarks, Chief Justice Shaw, with much emotion, stated to the prisoner that it was his privilego now to address the jury, if he had anything to say, or any explanation to make. Professor Webster rose, and iu a very dis tinct voice addressed the jury, in defence of himself. , Chief Justice Shaw then addressed the juiy in a learned and able charge. THE Jl'RY. The jury retired, at five minutes past eight o'clock, and came into court at eleven o'clock. THE VERDICT. Chief Justice Shaw called on tho prisoner to stand up and hear the verdict. Chief Justice Mr. Foreman, have you agreed to a vcrJicl ? Foreman We have. Chief Justice Do you find the prisoner guilty, or not guilty ? Foreman Gviltt ; , CONDUCT OF THE PRISONER. The prisoner sank back into his chair with his hands upon the railing, and his face on his hands, and so remained ten minutes. RE-COMMITTED TO PRISON. When he recovered from the shock, he said to officer Jones, "why are you keeping mo hero lo be gazed at ?" He was imme diately carried up to the jail, and locked up for the night, the precaution having been taken to remove his razor and knife. Tho next morning Dr. Webster wasbrought into court, when tha usual sentence of the law was passed upon him, after a feeling ad dress by Chief Justice Shaw. INCIDENTS. A buggy was at the door of the Court-room rto convey the sad intelligence to his family at Cambridge. During tho whole of this trial, we under stand from tho officer in charge, that Profes sor Webster has not shed a tear, or expressed any particular interest for any thing but his table of supplies. His last order lo officer Lawrence, when ha left the jail to hear tho verdict, was "Tell Parker to send me some of his best turkey for dinner to-morrow, and a lot of good segars." It is understood that the jury, after going out on Saturday night, at first deliberated in silence for ten minutes. They then voted on the question whether the remains were those of Dr. Geo. Parkman. There was an unanimous "yea." On the second question, whether Dr. Webster murdered him, there were eleven yeas and one nay. The nay came from Mr. Benj 11. Greene. He slated his point of doubt, and after some discussion he declared it removed, Tho family of Dr. Webster was not inform ed of tha verdict the night it was rendered. Friends, however, undeitook the task of pre paring their minds for it. The awful disclo. suits were made to them on Sunday morn ing by Mis. Win, E. Prescott. The scene was moil heart rending, and the wails and shrieks could not ba concealed from the passers by. Every effort has been made to assuage the grief of the afflicted wife and daughters, who, up to a late hour, confidently expected an acquittal. A letter of condolence was piesented ihem on Sunday afternoon, signed by the heads of all the principal families of Cambridge, in cluding the Hon. Edward Everett, Jared Sparks, Prof. Norton, Judgo Fay, Lc. Tha immense crowd retired from tha court room and its viciufty in silence and without the least disturbance. Judge Fay gave it up that his friend, Dr. Webster, was a guilty man after hearing his own speech on Saturday evening. Anecdotes of the cruelty of Dr. W. in early life are now tolJ by persons who were then acquainted with him. As we expected, there is no confirmation of the "Vidette" story about the student dis covering Dr. Webster over the body of Dr. Parkman. We have in fact, nothing new about the case except the probable commuta tion of lha sentence. A "gentleman" is in training for a prize fight in Albany. Ha feeds on blood pud ding, and drinks gunpowder tea. And to in creak his musele, he hold himself out by the collar for an hour every day. A recent philospher discovered a method to avoid being dunned! "How how hew how ?" we hear everybody ttbking. Never run in debt. A Puzzle. My father is my son, and I am my mother's mother.

LAST MOMENTS OF HON. JOIIftC. CALiioirc Washington, March, Slth 1850. " Hon. John C. Calhoun, of South Carolina, departed this life at a quarter past seven o' clock this morning. The sad event has oast a gloom over the oapital, and is the topio of conversation and universal regret, to-day, a mong our citizens. During the whole of yes terday, it was evident to thosa who had ac cess to the sick chamber, that tha lamp of life was nearly extinguished, and that, if within a few hours a change did not take place for the belter, his demise might be con fidently expected. Indeed, he seemed con scious himself that his mortal career was near a close. At about ten o'clock last night, Mr. Venable, oT North Carolina, read to him some letters which were addressed to Mr. Calhoun by persons at a distance, and which reached Washington by thnt day's mail. Shortly af terwards he addressed Mr. Joseph A. Seoville who was with him from the commencement of hia sickness till the moment of his death : "Read very low some of ihe papers which 1 said I wished in the morning, as I am very feeble." About half-past 12 this morning a change took place for the worse. He had been una ble for some hours previous to raise the mat ter from his lungs, and his son turned him on his side to afford him some relief. He re marked "It's of no use ; I receive no relief -I am sinking. I have no pulse in my wrist; feel it. The medicine (an opiate) has had a charming effect. I feel a warm glow over my system " He noticed that his son was very much alarmed, and said, "Why do you sit up t Yon had better go to sleep." His breathing had become very difficult Ho said "breathing has become very harrassing to me." His son lay down upon a couch near him, but not to sleep. At about 4 o'clock, Mr. Calhoun called him, and addressing him said. "John, come here. I believe all that medical sjiill can do will be of no avail ; feel my pulse j 1 have none. Take my loose pa pers out of the drawers, also, my watch, and luck ihem up in tny trunk " He made the same request last evening, ata quarter before 6 o'clock. He spoke the last words which were audible, "I am resting now, very easily." Mr. Venable, of North Carolina, who occu pied the next room, was called and came in. Mr. Calhoun extended his hand ; his eyes were bright, and he was perfectly conscious, bul did not speak. Mr. Venable found that he had no pulse and poured out part of a glass o! Madeira He raised his head, drank it, and then sank back upon his pillow. Mr. Orr and Dr. Wallace, of South Carolina, came in. When the door closed, Mr. Calhoun turned his eyes in that direction, and was perfectly conscious of every thing that passed. He squeezed his son's hand convulsively ; his lips moved, and his eyes were very expres sive. His voice could not be heard, and when some one leaned over him, as it to lis ten, he moved his head, as if lo say "I cannot speak." His breathing was very hard until live minutes before his death. One hand rested upon his breast, ami he raised tho other and placed it once or Iwiee upon his head. Probably the last rush of blond pained him. When the breath left the body, it v" like a long drawn breath, (t was tho last, and all was over. Ho died as easy as an in fant, and was perfectly conseions until the last spark of life had fled. Thus departed the pure & unsullied spirit of John C. Calhoun of South Carolina. His funeral will lake place on Tuesday. The body will bo placed in a metallic coffin and deposited in a vault iu the Congressional burying ground, where two of bis children are buried, and remain there until the wishes of Mrs. Calhoun ara known. Mr. Mills has taken a bust of the deceased statesman, since his death. Intelligence of the merancholy event was immediately trans mitted by telegraph to his widow, and to all the telegraphic stations throughout tho conn try. Mr. Calhoun was born at Abbeville, S. C, March 18, 1782. At the age of S3 he graduated at Yale College, Conn. In 1807 he was admitted to the bar of his native State. One year later he was elected to the Legislature of South Carolina, where he ser ved Iwo years In 1811 he was sent to Con. irress. In 1817 he Decani?

FIM1E Essence is a preparation of unusual ex I. cellence anil of varied properties. In all ease ulnye a powerful anil safe stimulant is required, it is unrivalled for clftcacy as well us immediate action. To the traveller and to the family circle it is invaluable, as a few drops diluted in sugar and water present a safe and aereealile remedy to the invalid who requires immediute relief, as well as to the convalescing patient who needs a gentlo tonic. In a Southern climate, where the relaxa tion of the system so generally induces thirst for stimulants, it will ulways be lound an excellent substitute for those tempting beverages which de bilitate the stomach and cause a morbid condition of iu powers. In dyspepsia, in relaxation of the bowels, in nauseea and sea-sickness, it is an active and safe as well as a pleasant and refreshing re medy, and is prescribed by the most eminent of Uie medical faculty, A supply of the above received anil for sale by II. 11.
