Wo observe by exchanges that a large num
ber of editors through the country have been
made Deputy Marshals. This is right, because
..from their : position and extensive acquaintance,
no clam of thq community is better qualified for
the intelligent and faithful discharge of - the
duties incumbent upon• Marshals. But Our
specific object at this time is to endthe the hope
expressed by_a contemporary_hat in counties
and districts where°editors are not appointed,
the Diiputies may find it convenient to occasi
only say h•good word for their county papers.
They will r of Course, naturally and properly
feel a partiality for the paper advocating their
awn political principles, but they will be doing
a good turn for hard-working but illy-requited
laborers, if they shall impress even upon Dem
ocrats the obligation of sustaining their own
county paper in preference to those at a dis
gP.F.Fl4/McgitalWattgli ParrirSelrtlitienT;
whether Whig or Democrat, who is not a pa
tron of his local press.—lt might havebeen
better if the law had made it obligatop4pon
Deputy Marshals to enforce this irliolesome
truth in every houshold. But Wit has not, a
word of voluntary admonition can do no harm.
HONOR TO GEN..Terton.—From one 'end - of
the country to the other we hear of general de
monstrations of respect to the memory of Gen.
Taylor, all -going to prove the Ovation in
which - he %yeti - Held' by the people: In Philadel

rangements for a giand civic and military pro.
ceXsion, and invite the attendance of the milita

fixed upon Thureday next.the_.2sthinst., for a
similar procession in that place. At Syracuse,
Rochester, Albanyi Providence, Detroit, and
a number of other places processions either
have or are about to take place.
AN INCIDENT or VIE PASSIDENT:—The acts
and speeches which marked the closing scenes
of Gen. Taylor's life will doubtless be gathered
up and treasured in the memory of his country
men. The following anecdote is related of him,.
and whether truly timpani or not, is certainly
- characteristic. The Now Yo - Mirror says :
It is but a fete days since , hen a delegation

Explanatory.
Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, having - denied, in
preferred against them by Henrico, the Wash.
ington correspondent of the Philadelphia Bulle
tin, detailing the particulars of the Preeldent's
illness and death, Henrico responds, saying
that the denial is "equivical," and adds, that
the visit was made on the 3d. The correspon
dent of the Philadelphia American, under date,
of the 15th, has, however, the followirig on
this, subject: •
Very serious and unfoitunate 'misapprehen
sions, to use the mildest term, have been pub
lished in various quarters, concerning the ill
ness - and -- incidents connected with the Presi
dent's death. It is not true, as has been stated,
that Mr. Toombs and• Mr. Stephens visited
General Taylor after his indisposition, and
threatened a vote of censure if he refused to
coincide with the policy which they recom
mended. Mr. Toombs called upon_Gen.Tay-.
for on the morning of the 3d of July—the day
before ho attended the celebration—and confer
red fully with him in regard to the Texas dif
-ficulty.- The--President -stated—his-purpose-to
hold possession of New Mexico, and to resist
with all the power at his command any attemp
ted aggression. Mr. Toombs expressed his.
opinion of the consequences which would at•
tend such a policy, and .the interview closed
with an emphatic understanding on both sides.
Mr. Stephens - was no party to the conference,
and was not informed of its character mail the
evening of that day. It may well be doubted
whether the interview referred to, ever made
any impression upon the mind of Gen. Taylor,
aftbr its occurrence. If it did, his family and
constitutional advisers are inure ignprunt than
the correspondent who gave the story publicity.
This statement is due alike to the memory of
the dad, and in justice to the living.
Things to be Remembered
Remember, says the Chambersburg Whig,
that the last Legislature cost the State nearl;
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
more tban-sessions-of the Legislature shouldpor
ordinarily do.
Remember thqt this Legislature passed an
act authorizing the Reding Railroad Compa
ny to REPUDIATE ITS DEBTSz—a4IOUN
TING TO MILLIONS—and that the conse
quence of this partiality 'to a monopoly falls
altogether-upon POOR MEN, WIDOWS and
ORPHANS.
Remember that this Legislature voted to its
members EXTIA.A. PAY, over and above what
the law authorized them,
,for their
,criminal
waste of time.
Remember that this Legislature RAISED
THE SALARIES of all the heads of Depart
ment, eicept the Governor.
Remember that this Legislature perpetrated
this piece of dishonest and extravagant PAR
TIALITY beCausO all the heads of Depart
ments' WERE LOCO FOCOS AND THE
GOVERNOR A WHIG. ' .
Remember that this Legislature . RAISED
THE PAY of the Locofoco Canalpomiil9slQlV,
ere from THREE TO FOUR DOLLARS
PER DAY, when it is well known that these
officers are not engaged ip the business of their
office more than onefourth of their-lime; or three
hours per day;
Above all thlngs,rememberjhat this Legis
lature was a LOCOFOCO BODY, and that
when the-Whigs aro in power suchERTHAV.e
AGANCE and DISHONESTY aro never
heard of. Remember, also,. that two of the
nominees on the' Locofoco State Ticket, Mes
srs. Morrison and Brawley, were members of
this corrupt eatra-pay Legislature, and iuppor
led the aborts measures. Let them be remem
bered on the second Tuesday - of October!

when'aunanimons report from the" Committee
Of Pardons against a commutation of the pun
ishment of death in the case of. Professor Web ,

minted. This report jsraii accepted by the Cbuir
cil, one member, Mr. Copeland, of Norfolh,
-tirig - in - the - negativeriday, - AugastlOtli;was --
fixed as the day of execution. , • •
The Report of tho Committee is published in
the Boston papers. It gives a summary of the
progres's of the cane from its commencement,
and says that the Commitleo, after,a
and earnest inteetigation of the argurnents of
fered, have concluded that the trial and convic- .
Lion 'Weraairand just, and offer no ground for
- direcuiivti interposition; that they aro unani
mously ofthe opinion that the - palliating facto
and circumelnnced set forth, in the confession
'have nut been so confirmed by other evidence
'and circumstances, as to form a proper and suP
ficiont basis for Executive interference ; that
on three grounds tho Committee cannot, con
sistently with their duty, recommend a corn
mutatioa of the sentence. They then recom
mend the above date for the execution.
The Governor, in his address on the subject
to the Council, remarkalliat he feels the weight
of his responsibility, but is nut disposed to e
vade itor to 'shrink from it. lie then proceeds
to give u detailed history of the case, and says
In carefully and anxiously - examining and
considering the case, I do not feel authorized
by any considerations which have been presen
ted to my mind to set aside the deliberate ver
-diet of the jury. arrest the solemn decree of the •
law an pronounced by the highest, judicial tri
bunal of the Commonwealth, and disregard the
•
opinion and advice of the Council.
Utile circumstances of the killing, as stated
by the prisoner, aro taken as true, it may be
well questioned whether the Executive Coun
cil could interfere with the sentence without vi
olating the the land.
In his charge to the jury in this case, the
Chief Justice says : "It is a settled rule that
no provocation of ?words only, will justify a blow.
Then if upon provoking language, the party re
venge himself with a mortal blow, it is unques
tionably Murder."
The only new fact brought to'light as to the
killing depends upon the word of the prisoner.
It will fluidly be pretended by any onc,thatthe
declaration oca person ender sentence of death,-
slibuld be permitted to outweigh the doings of
the Court and Jurysnd rescue him from the
consequences which are to follow their procee
dings.
It is candidly stated by Dr. Putnam, in his
able argument, and by several of the petitimis
presented in favor of commutation, received
since his confession, that standing as lie does,
the word of the prisoner is entitled tone credit.
If the circumstances disclosed on the trial
nib' felled • - iin to S - uppartthisetate mcsi,abio reply
is, that those circumstances wore urged in 'his
favor before the Jury, and they have decided
against him. The facts of this appalling case
are before the world ; they will hereafter fill
ono of the gloomiest pages- irollie recurd of
crime amongst eiviliZed men.

in a manner ruostahocking, to humanity,muti

under the direction of four of the five eminent
Judges constituting the Supreme Court of Mas
sachusetts, after a long, patient, and impartial
trial, and alter hearing in his defence the argu
ments of learned and eloquent counsel, upon
their oaths, found him guilty of murder. ••
Upon that verdict the Court pronounced the
awful sentence of death. In such a'case there
should be obvious and conclusive reasons to au
thorize-the pardonihg powers to interpose and
arrest the sword of Justice. Ido not sea these
'nsane.
The combined circumstances of the case
force me to to the conclusion, that the safety of
the community, the inviolability of the law,
and the_prineiples of3mpartial juatice, demand
the execution of the sentence. '

WASHINGTON, July 16.
Tae Cpicraz.—The'esident had another
conference will' , the Cabinet on Tuesday. They
agreed to remain until Monday next at his so
licitation, by which time, most probably a new
Cabinet will be formed. The present Cabinet,
though invited, declined to, counsel as to the
new organizatiBn. During—their , continuance
in offiee.they will exercise executive, not ads+
aory functions.. Thispurso, so rar,ws we ear,
understand, is not ptirstred o on account of any
hostility on.the part of the - present Cabinet to
the new President, but is owing to the fact that
the disputed boundary between New Mexico
and Texas has assumed a shape *TWO demands

possession of Now Mexico. This
correspondonce necessarily involves a direct Is
sue respecting the course of the new Adminis
tration, and it will readily be'perceived that
the members of Gen. Taylor's Cabinet would
have to encounter grave_ reaponsibility in re
commending a policy which might in some
or other, be discountenanced by their sum• .
cessessors in office, or might complicate the
now President in his future Connections. Their
- desife in withdrawing, is to keep him entirely
untrammeled; and to place his adniinistration
in such an attitude that their counsels may not
interfere with what may be considered as
more judicious or wiser expedient in the pres
ent exigency."
The President is understood;'(so says the
special correspondence of the Philadelphia N.
American) as determined to follow .Gen. Tay
lor's polio , respecting New Mexico, - and will,
act as soon as the Cabinet is formed. Should
the Compromise Bill fail, it is assorted in high
places, that the President will present a new
plan of adjustment.

on the table, waiting the arrival of their host.
I was introdliced to his amiable and beautiful

the table as by instinct—and 1 assure, you, Mr,
Herald; his company was of no ordinary kind..
Pity friend is a printer, and his guests were his
apprentices and journeymen, as pretty a, set of

there as nice as any of them. My_ friend and
his accomplished lady seated at the head of the

a practical example of politeness, elevating
their bashful youthfurminds, preparing them to
go abroad into hur Republican world to do

pleasure at that dinner table which made me
desire soon to be invited to another such. My
friend is a true Whig. But let me contrast this
scene with another that happened to me at a
farmer's house At far from your town. Being
an old and familiar acquaintance in the family,

Mn. EDITOR : The time is close at hand'
when it will be necessary for the Whigs - of
this Congressional District to select and nomi
nate for themselves an individual qualified to..
discharge the duties of an active anti honora
ble CongressiXan. And as Cumberland county
has not, since the existing arrangement of thisv
District, had the_honor of being represented by , ..
any one of her sons in the Hall of Congresg„
_we think - the counties of Perry and Franklin
ought and will ae:code.Ais us our right to furnish.
the next candidate.
Among Ippbe whom wo have heard mention
in dilferengetions of the county, we know of
none mpro worthy and able its a candidate i than.
JOSEPH MOSSER, Esq., of N. Cumberland.
He-has labored hard and long in the Whig;
cause, and is well knoWn throughout the coun •
ty and District as an able, consistent and genu
ine Whig. • Ho is a close observer, and well
acquainted with the wishes of the party and:
the interests of the , county—From our know
ledge of his energy of.character and business
habits we believe no one - CMild be nominated. or
—"-us better or reprettent
us more honorably.'
Wo, therefore, reecorlamend him to the citi
zens of Cumberland county and this Congress
ional District as a candidate for nomination ;
believing as we do, that no other one would be
better supported or receive a larger majority
of our votes at the polls.
