Pref. Webster.
AN AFFECTING INTERVIEW
The wife and three daughters of Prof.
Webster appeared before the Council yes
tank), afternoon. The chief cause of
their appearance, as we learn from the At
las. was stated by Mrs. Webiter to be to
beer testimony to the feet that the first
petition presented to the Governor and
Council, was got up chiefly through their
instrumentality—they all having been un
wavering in their belief in Dr. W's inno
cence, until informed of his confession.—
She hoped, and prayed, that they would
be able to regard his case mercifully, and
spare his lite.
After her withdrawal, the Committee
on Parttime held a session, and sent fur
Dr. Putnam, the spiritual adviser of Pro.f
Webster. After his arrival Lieut. Gov.
Reed stated that he was sent for to hear a
document read containing the opinions of
certain eminent surgeons on three points
irt the confession, upon which grave doubts
hid arisen in the minds of the Committee.
110, before the document was read, the
reporters were requested to retire. It is
generally understood that the Committee
have asked the opinion of four erninet sur
geons upon three points. Tho first is as
to whethur the stick mentioned in the con
iession as having been used to give the
deadly blow, could have inflicted a blow
that would have been fetal in so short a
time as ten minutes. The opinions upon
this, and upon other points, arc stated to
be adverse to the confession,
The Bee's report of the interview a
the Council Room is as follows:
Mrs. Webster was dressed in deep
mourning. Her three daughters seemed
sorrow-stricken and almost broken hear
:ed. Mrs. Webster is evidently a woman
of great hope—firm and persevering to the
last. The eldest daughter exhibits in a
great degree the same valuable traits—
doubly valuable during this most terrible
struggle through which they have been
called to pass. The other tivo do not
look like the same beautiful girls who tes
tified in behalf of their father at the trial.—
Their charmingly healthful appearanc has
been exchanged for otos more sickly and
sad.
Mrs. Webster, in conversation with his
honor Lieut. Gov. Reed, said that she
and her daughters earnestly prayed fur a
f ,, mmutation of her husband's sentence.-
1' is previous letters to the Council, she
asking for a pardon, were written at
tor, corneal solicitation. She strongly be
ll, vet! in his innocence, or she wuuld nev
er have consented to their presen
"We feel assured of that ; no one

t,titl Gov. Briggs, who until now had sat
a silent listener. "1 feel that he must
Ii petnnaitted the deed
,in a moment of
great provocation. I cannot persaude
my -
-rlf that it was otherwise," continued Mrs.
Webster, "he doated upon his children—
', was wpm; kind husband—and oh, sir,
we earnestly hope and pray that you may
tint] it eonSistent with your duties to the
Fuhlic and consistent with the cause of
plstiCe and humanity, to save him and our
whole family from the - ruin and deep Ells
;J:tre which threatens."
The Leiut. Gov. replied to something
hich she said. Mrs. Webster mistaking
his words, looked earnestly into his face,
her eyes streaming with tears, and said with
a furce we shall never forget, "Did you
say, air, was impossible to commute
his sentence?" "0, I can't tell you that,
madam—the subject is before the Com
mittee. All I can say, is, we will try
most conscientiously to serve you and save
t ,mr husband. It is a most painful duty."
Dr. Putnam said he appeared before the
' , until as a citizen—having that infot
oi:ation (the confession) which circumstan
r"s had placed in his possession—and not
delegated: therefore he did not deem it
his duty to act in any other capacity than
as a friend and listener He would hear
ahything they had to present, and'then - he
would consult Prof. Webster aud his coun
sel.
We further learn that the Committee on
Pardons will hold a session on Monday
next, and the parties have been requested
to appear before them, and present all the
documents they intend to offer in the case,
and a hearing will be granted to any ergo
thent they may choose to make, as their
final one—Boston Transcript, July 6.
Bosros, July B—Another hearing was
had to-day before the Committee of the
Executive Council. Various petitions fur
a commutation of the unfortunate man's
sentence were presented. The final hear
ing of the case, was by the desire of Web
sters friends, postponed until the 18th inst.
THE CONVENTION WITH GREAT BRI•

ded between the United States and Great
Ilr itain for facilitating and protecting the

Atlantic and Pacific oceans, has been pub

Republic saYs it is a happy coincidence
that the two great nations, whose political
COMICCIiOII, on that day seventy four years
ago, was forever severed, should, on its
aniversary, have stricken hands in plight
ed co-operation for the accomplishment of
a great enterprise in which the commer

time cemented their own amity by the
solemn rentinciation of claim to pri

from asserted jurisdiction or influence in
the adinioing territory.
By the States of Central America file

DEATH of PRESIDENT TAYLOR.
With more than ordinary feelings of regret, (says
the Baltimore Sun of Wednesday) we this morn
ing announce to our fellow-citizens that death has
again chosen a "shining mark"—that his unerring
shall has stricken down one of the noblest of the
nation. The honored bead of a great people has
been called to his final reckoning, and the family
of nations will mourn the departure of • hero
and a patriot !
"The lightning may flash and the thunder may
rattle,
lie heeds not, he hears not, be's free from all pain;
110 sleeps his lad sleep, he's fought hilliest battle,
No sound can awake him to glary again." •
President Taylor breathed his last at thirty , lee
minutes past ten o'clock Tuesday night, at the
Ex ecutire Mansion, surrounded by his family, and
the members of the cabinet, and hosts of sincere
and mourning friends. Thus, for the second time
within the past ten years, has the Chief Executive

As soon as.tbe rumor obtaioed eirculam
this evening that an unfavorable change hid
taken place in the condition of ibe,Presi

and hundreds of our citizens, without dis
tinction, repaired to the Executive mansion.
anxiously inquiring into his true condition,
and evincing a degree of solicitude as to
his fate, that indicated the deep hold his
private as well as his public chhracter had
made on the hearts of all. Every counte
nance was marked by sincere grief, and
fervent prayers were uttered for the suc
cess of his physirians in restoring their
distinguished patient to his country, his
family, and his friends.
At half-past 8 o'clock in the evening the
physicians in attendance reported that con
' gestion of the brain and stomach had com
menced, and that every ten minutes there
, was an effort to vomit, accompanied by an
effusion of greenish bile, all the aymto:ns
indicating a. speedy disolution. Shortly
afterwards he somewhat revived, and con
tinned easy for sometime. but at half-past
9 o'clock he again began to sink. lle ap

and collected that some who were present
entertained the opinion that he would sur

sorrowfully awaited the result.
Mrs. Taylor. who had been molt devo

be comforted by human aid.
I may safely venture to assert that no
one, from so short a residence at the me
tropolis, could have won a higher degree
ofesteern and respect than our deceased
President. His benevolence, courteous
manners and amiable deportment seemed
to disarm even the prejudices of those who
were politically opposed to him, and had
secured to him an almost unprecedented
personal esteem and popularity.
The Marshal of the District takes im

the lateness of the hour, no subsequent ar

An understanding to this effect has been

W e give to-day the remarkable confession• of
Prof. Weasren, detailing the alledgod circum
stances attendant upon the murder, and removal
of the remains, of Dr. Parkman—also the no less
remarkable petition for pardon previously addres
sed to Guy. Deices, and the proceedings of the
Council on the let and Bth inst., with reference
to the application for a commutation of the sen
tence. The final hearing of the case has been post
poned until the 18th inst. The confession, with
the application for a change of sentence, was pre
ranted to the Council by the Rev. D. Pvemex,
who accompanied it by an ingenious and lengthy
argument in support of its sincerity. What the
effect of this fresh movement on the part of Prof.
Wender and his friends may be, it is difficult to
predict—although it is very possible that bis sen
tence may be commuted, In view of the doubt
which may be raised in the minds of the Govern
or and members of Couucil as to the truthfulness
of the confession. For ourwlites, nothing has oc
curred to shake our conviction that the killing of
Dr. ratkman was a wilful, premeditated murder.
The Galphin claim &Main.
Last week w 6 took occasion to plinde to
the much talked of and much written shout
"Oa Iphin claim," with a view of directing atten
tion to the hypocritical character of the indigna
tion which the Locofuco party at this present time
'theta in consequence of its recent adjustment by
the National Administration. In doing so, we
mentioned the fact that this claim, about which
so much ado is all at once made by the Locokmo
party, was endorsed am •just one by Oen. Jac:-
so If —that Mr. Forsythe, while Secretary of the
Treasury, endeavored to secure its payment—that
the bill legalising the claim and authorizing its
payment was pulsed by a Locofoco , Senede and
approved by President j'asc.—thitt the principal
of it wee paid by Remit J. Watts*, Mr. ,Rolies

over this man of straw erected by Melt seeks,

are represented as trying to smooth over the mat
ter by "declaring that Oen. Jackson was in favor
of the payment of the Mho by the United States,"
whereas we simply said that Oen. Jackson had
'endorsed the claim r a Jost one." And in
proof of this our neighbor need but go but one step
further in the perusal of the Report of the
investigating Comudtm of which Mr. Wien was
chairman, made to Congress in ISM% and from
Whioh cur neighbor her to pert quoted. This
'Committee was not raised for the purpose of in
vestigating the Oalphln claim, but had that mat
ter incidentally before it. Mr. Forsythe, then
Secretary of State, was examined by the Com
mittee touching the claim, and wined ailid•
lows t
4. Question by Mr. Wise to Mr. For
sythe :
..Were you, or not, personally interest
ed in a certain claim. commonly called the_
Galphin claim, as to which a stipulation
witinuctedja Cberokiwueaty,--
os sent to the U. 8. Senate to be ratified t
"Answer by Mr. Forsythe :
4.1 hive been interested in the Galphin
claim, since 1827 ,or 'SS, as counsel for
the representatives of Galphin, and expect,
whenever it is paid, a portion of the awns
recovered.
Mr. Forsythe alto said :
"While the treaty was negotiated here,
, the representatives of Galphin had an agent,
(Judge Underwood) iu this city, who ap.
plied to me to urge the President to admit
the claim, which Underwood said the In
dians wished to see paid. I declined any
conversation with the _President (General
Jaikson) on the subject, because of my
contingent interest. GOV* Casa told me
he (the PRESIDENT) thought the claim
just, but doubted whether it should not be
paid by Georgia; andnot the United States.
The President. as Gov. Cass informed me,
refused on that ground. to permit an arti
respecting it to be put into the treaty.—
And when the treaty wis considered and
decided upon in the Cherokee country, the
agents of Galphio procured from them the
article as it went to -the Senate. The
claim was not admitted to form part of the
treaty, but it was before the Senate on its
own merits."
Now, here we have the atithorii.l of Mr. For
sythe and Gen. Cu. for the statement that Gen.
Jseasow Monks du claim d lore one; but doubt
'ins whether it should hold egalost the U. States or
the State of ("engirt, he•very properly. objected to
its introduction into the Cherokee treaty, with the
view of giving Congress an opportunity to deter
mine the matter, particularly as it was "already be.
fore the . Senate 04 ite own merits." That Gen.
Jackson endorsed the justice of the claim. as was
dated last weak, is her, proven most positively
—that it should be pad ha bed no doubt, but it
wee a matter for Canoes to say whether the U.
States or the Stab of Georgia should pay it....
Well. Congress, with a Leedom Senate, did aa
tilde that the United States ought lo pay the claim.
and wood a bill to that erect, which bill was
signed and approved by Preeident Polk, and the
principal paid by Secretary Walker.
Now we pot It to the oindlow of the "Compiler"
to say *bather It has not grossly misrepresented
our argument, and whether our asernions were
•quite as 4 renltlas" es the molars of that paper
might he led to believe. t l •

Mr. Cooper,) who refuse to vote for'the
bill because slavery has not been excluded
from the Territories of New Mexico and
Utah in advance. I sympathise with these
Senators and' voted with them to apply
the Wilmot proviso to the Territories.—
la their judgment and patriotism I have
the fullest confidence ; but, as it is out of
our power to apply the proviso. I feel
bound to do that which will be most likely
to ef f ect the same object—namely toad.

the admission of California in every shape
in which the question of her admission
may be presented but I entertain the most
serious leers that if the bill now undercon
sideratton should fail, she will not be ad
mitted at the present session. I hope I
may be wrong ; but t am for taking the
safe course.- and admitting her while it is
in our power. I am anxious for her ad
mission, not only because it is due to her
condition and our own pledges that she
should be admitted, but I am likewise anx
ious fur it sa • Northern man, because she
will come into the Union as a free State.
adding to the power of the free States in
both branches of Congress. California
once admitted, and there is a preponder
ance of free States in 'hie body, and the
ability, if they be true to themselves, to
prevent the further acquisition of slave ter
ritoty or the extension of slavery beyond
its guarantied limits. Is there any doubt
of the sentiments of the people of Califor
nia in relation to slavery t Look at the
act of her Convention excluding it—an act
the more significant of the state of feeling
there, on this suliject, when it is remem
bered that a crialority of that body were
ouQten ` men ; yet being so, by the force
of public sentiment were compelled, in
deference to it, *to exclude slavery by a
unanimous vote. There are, however.
notwithstanding this. Northern Senators
who would permit California. a free State,
to alsod at our doors a supplicant for ad.
mission, because they cannot admit her
alone, or exclude slavery in advance from
the Territories of New Mexico and Utah.
Such conduct, in my judgment, is no wi
ser than that of the general who. on the
eve of battle, facing his enemy with equal
forces, would decline to receive a rein
forcement of one regiment, because there
were two others not permitted to join him.
As a Northern man, I repeat that I am fur
receiving into the Union free States us our
Southern friends receive slave States when
ever they present themsidves in a proper
manner. I would have been glad to see
Califordis admitted, and the Wilmot pro.
viso applied to the Territories, but, having
failed in the latter, I em fur securing the
former. Li matters affecting us personal•
ly, where we cannot obtain all we ask, it
may be well enough to refuse to take any
thing ; but in matters of legislation. the
loss of one favorite measure will not justi
fy us in surrendering others still more im
portant. White, therefore, I should be
willing to take all, not being able to obtain
it, I will take what I tango. This a sim
ple principle of action which I think the
people will understand; but I doubt if they
will be able to understand the principle
upon which those members act, who, pot.
feinting to be anxious for their interests,
refuse to take anything because they can
not get all.
The people of this country, of the free
States especially. are practical people.
who will understand that the admission of
California his practical fact. and that it will
add one-to the number of Free States. se
curing to them forever the preponderance
in this body. On the other hand, while
they would doubtless be glad to see the
Wilmot proviso applied to the Territories,
and slavery thus expressly excluded, they
will hope for the same effect front the
Mexican laws no* existing in them, and
from other circumstances rendering it un
likely•that slavery willever be carried thith
er. At any rate, speaking for my own
constituents only. I am sure they will nev

wheat iSelds in many parts of this county, .
although they never looked more promi
sing, have been, suddenly attacked with a
species of worm or grub, and much of it
has been destroyed by this animal.• The
worm is about s sixteenth of an inch is
length, of a bright yellow or orange color.
and is extremely tenacious of life. It at
tacks the upper cud of thograin, and soon
destroys its vitality. We examined one
field of wheat in Chester township. almost
every eer of which contained a dozen or ,
more of these worms. Our farmers in
this notion are considerably alarmed at
the appearance of this new enemy to their
most important crop, as many of them be
lieve it will devour it after it has been har
vested. The worm is more abundant in
the smooth wheat, and is found only to a
limited extent in the bearded variety,
which we hen examined. Some of our
farmers have concluded to mow their crop,
it being so far dostroyed.as to render it of
bet little account, and others not to house
it, for fear the worm will turn out to be
the weevil, so much dreaded by agricul
utrists.—Del. Republican.
Since the above was in type, we have
received the Germantown Telegraph—
excellent authority in agricultural matters
—from which we copy the following:
"RE-APPEARANCE OF THE RED WEEVIL.
is with regret that we have to notice
the re-eppesrance of the red weevil in the
wheat this season, and , more particularly
in- the varieties of white wheat. From
present appearances, the visitation will be
much more disastrous to the crop than that
of last year, many fields appearing to be
itearly ruined, though showing a large
yield Of straw. As there are many kinds
of wheat cultivated in. the country, it is
quite probable that, by noticing the ravu•
..ges of.the insect on the different varieties,
it might tie discovered that some were
• more exempt than others.' Front the beat
information obtained, the earliest kinds of
wheat have suffered the least, and if this
' opinion is confirmed by future observation,
it would be better to cultivate those kinds
in reference to those of a later growth."
