No against us, and is as much pledged as Mr. Webster to prevent the extension of South ern slavery. Turn to the life of Gen. Pierce and see how different the picture. In every thing concerning domestic slavery, Gen. Pierce has stood by the South and with Southern His votes stand recorded in every essential instance against the Abolitionists from the time he entered Congress till his departure from it. Since his retirement! in the hour of triumph, they-have segn those principles prostrated—and in more than one instance have they suffered defeat, when the fairest prospect-of success was be fore them. Should we not then be admon ished at this time ?

Times, of the same week says that ihe family and friends- of Mr. Webster were greatly alarm ed by a serious attack of illness, and that a message was sent to an intimate personal friend of Mr. W. in New York City urging him to repair immediately to Marshfield.:— The Boston papers however, have since sta ted, on authority of gentlemen direct from Mr. Webster's house, that he had recovered from the attack, and that his usual degree of health had been restored. It has also been stated by the N. Y. Herald, that Mr. Blatch- lord of that City, a personal friend of Mr. Webster, had just returned with a letter not written, but signed by Mr. Webster, in which he recommends his friends to aban don the idea of supporting him for the Pres idency, but containing no recommendation to go over to Gen. Scott. Such are the contradictory accounts which ' the newspapers give of Mr. Webster and his intentions. We give them to our readers for what they are worth, in our opinion they may be taken with many grains of allow ance. were ever more worthily selected or are more deserving of the support of the entire coun try than yours.

Hear what is said of Gen. Pierce by dislin- jo-uished Southern Democrats. “Judge Douglass|says that in a conversa- j tion which he had with Mr. Calhoun, some three years since, Mr; C. remarked that, *he approaching conflict, with the confidence of assured victory. But as it is, we are threat ened with a catastrophe—which, if it oc curs in this peculiar crisis.of the country, will, I fear, be truly of a lamentable charac ter. Besides the general disorders of the Democratic party, it at this time embodies the dangerous elements of Intervention, Foreign wars, and Disunion. The success of that party, threatens to entail upon the eouiitry these incalculable evils,—any one of which is sufficient to unsettle, if not de stroy this government. The success of the looked upon I rank Pierce as one of ti .. wqdgpdrty, and Whig principles anff mea- most reliable men, as a statesman and pa-» ° x ' 01 r ' jtriot, that the country had produced.” Gov. Troup in his letter of acceptance to [the S. R. men of Ala., pays him a high and glowing compliment, as deserving as it is true— “I would vote for Pierce and King. Mr King is a most excellent man, and I have |not expected ever to be able to vote for-a Northern man so pure and disinterested as Mr. Pierce, and you may never ha\e [another opportunity embrace it.” Gen. Quitman in speaking of Gen. Pierce Terrible 'Skipwreck. Total Loss of the American Skip Mobile and Seventy-two Lives! ; We regret to have to record the total loss of the ship Mobile, Captain Tarbox, of. Bath Me., and for New Orleans from Liver pool, 27th ult., with’a crew of twenty-three hands and. sixty passengers all of whom with the exception of nine, perished! The - Mobile, sailed from the Mersey. Tuesday morning, with a fair-wind, and made good progress throughout the day. At midnight the captain went below, leaving the second mate in charge, with orders to steer west- south-west, and to call him (the captain) at two o’clock, or sooner, if the weather be came threatening. At midnight, the wind was blowing a fresh breeze from'east-north east, with a lieayy sea, which soon increas ed to a violent gale. On the Captain coming on deck at two o’clock, be found the ship on a lee shore, from which it was impossible to extricate her, the second mate having, it is said, mis taken hrs orders, and kept the ship on a west-north-west course. At half-past two she struck heavily on 'Arklow Bank, and shortly afterwards commenced to break up. Efforts were made to launch the boats, but in consequence of the high sea they were fruitless. A few hours after the vessel struck, the weather moderated, and at 11 o’clock on Thursday morning the schooners hove in Right, and immediately bore down to .the wreck. One of them, bound to Glasgow, took off four sailors, and the only surviving passenger, and the other took . the remain ing four sailors and landed them at Wex- • ford, whence they have been forwarded to Liverpool. * As an instance . of the little chance it was thought there was of airy one on board being saved, an incident occurred • which is worth relating In the cabin was a lady passenger, who had upwards of £500 in gold in'Her possession, which she offered to one of the sailors, but he rejected the proffered gift, as he would have no chance to use it. In a few minutes a sea swept the lady overboard. The sailor, however, w&s among the saved. Captain Tarbox find all hands exerted tthemselves toghe utmost to save the ship, 1 until one after another they were washed away and perished; The Mobile was 1,000 tons burthen, and nearly new. > . Immediately on the news of the catastro phe reaching Dublin, the American Con sul hastened to the spot,-and rendered what assistance he could to the survi vors’.’ The Swedish Vice Consul is 'also spoken of as ; acted with kindness. 1 Second Despatch. LAST HOURS OF MR. IFEBSTER. Baltimore, Oct. 24, 8 P. M. At ten o’clock last night. Mr. TFebster' parted with his family and friends. He pray ed loud and fervidly, calling on God to for give his sins through the merits of Jesus Christ. He closed all his private affairs, ,nd died expressing great resignation, and so calmly that lie seemed to have fallen asleep. Boston, Bath, and all the principal Eas tern cities are shrouded in mourning. The bells are tolling, and the flags of the ship ping and public buildings are displayed at half mast. 3Ir. Webster’s Successor as Secre tary ©f State. Baltimore, Oct. 24, 8 1-2 P. M. It is generally understood here that the lion. John J. Crittenden, of Kentucky, will succeed Mr. Webster as Secretary State.

In Pennsylvania, the majority time and agaiu used bis great intellect toir a 3 s . .. ■ “I knew Gen. Franklin Pierce personally impede the growth of Southern interests, and restrict their domain wherever law can effect, he is at this time the avowed enemy of the extension of slavery if his Buffalo speech is any index to his opinions.

The Whigs are now relying upon Scott to run ahead of his par ty. If this is the only hope, we imagine that his chances for this State are exceeding lv slim. In Ohio, they have gained four members of Congress, and carried the popular election by a majority of 7000. In Indiana the majority is put down at 15,000. Ten Democrats and one Whig elected to Congress, the Legislatur is large ly democratic. Jn Florida, the majority is quite small the majority for Governor being put down at 150.

The news of Mr. Webster’s death wa s eceived in this'city to-day at noon, and was immediately announced in extras by the citv press. The intelligence excited a deej sensation of grief throughout the entire community. The Mayor of the city imme diately issued a proclamation recommend in<r the citizens to abstain on Mondav from all business, that the public offices be clos. ed, that the flags of the city and shipping be displayed at half-mast and that minute] guns be fired from suu-rise to sun-set.

The road is a short one, it is true, only sixteen miles long, but it is oue of great importance, not only with reference their patriotism by throwing away votes upon him ; from his military compeer Gen. Seott, the country has something more to fear; equally hostile to Southern interests he has less capabilities for the office, with greater elements of success. He has no settled or well defined principles, such as he has he dons as he “would his uniform, to de signate the distinction he bears, and die ac cepts them with “platforms,” as he does his soup, to satisfy the emergencies of the occa' sion.

Many of the first Whig statesmen in the country have rendered testimony equally commen datory of Gen. Pierce, and Re is receiving the support of such . Whigs as Faulkner, o Virginia, and Clingman, of North Carolina' and there are thousands of untrameled Whig voters who will support him in Geor ria and other States. sures can alone avert the danger. Why then are we divided? Why do we stand cavilling, while these imminent perils are impending over us? Will no; our folly bo a subject of execration, when history shall say, that while the friends of law and order stood disputing which Whig should carry out Whig principles, and save the country, the enemies of peace and of the Union natched from tlieir hands the reins of pow er, and the palladium of their safety.- Will we'not have ! to bear the odium of a bad government, which might have been pre vented by our unity, as well as suffer the penalty? Most assuredly we shall. 'Then ask again, why are we divided? 1 an swer,—because certain leaders have chosen^ for motives not satifactarilg defined, to re pudiate the regular, honorably nominated ^candidates of the party, tor President and Vice President, and have advised and en couraged the adoption of a 3d. ticket. I say that the motives of these defections leaders, are not satisfactorily defined. I know what they allcdg-e against Gen. Seott,—but not their motives for it. The party and coun try knows that they charge Gen. Scott as. being opposed to tire Whig Platform of principles—and denounce him for refusing to give to the Compromise measures his pub^ lie approval, before and after their adoption^ But the charges are not founded, in truth, the evidence, for and against. Gen. Scott on The Hon. A. II.Stephens in a speech at the*© points, -which covers the main ground Atlanta during the past Summer, said of [Gen. Pierce; “I have no objection to Mr. Pierce’s votes [in Congress on the slavery question. I be lieve him to be eminently conservative on the - Southern question.—I place no confi dence in the Abolition newspaper reports of bis speech at New Boston.” The Hon. R. Toombs iu addressing the people of Wilkes county is reported by the Washington Gazette as follows “Mr. Toombs next reviewed the political [course of Gen. Pierce. He said nothing disparaging towards that-gentlerean, but on [the contrary, spoke of him as a very eon- •istent man infill his Congressional course ; of objection, I desire to lay before you, that you may judge fairly and righteously;. The Hon. Alex U. Stephens, in a let ter to the Editor of the Chronicle <£* Senti nel, dated at Washington.

Those of my fellow citizens, who have followed me through these Letters, what ever may be their opinion of me in other respects, will, I am sure, credit me as a sin cere Whig, from principle; an ardent ad mirer and supporter of the party and its great National conservative principles and measures—and one equally sensitive for its honor and integrity, as weighs for its unity and success; in concluding them, therefore, I dasire to present to my brother Whigs a few plain facts for. their dispassionate cpn-j 2,759,329] 1,511,990 sideration. It is worthy of note—something was written in June 1849, evidently to ^YQ-Vrcmarkable, in the history of the Whig pa.r- Gen. Scott has not done it.” With Mr. Toombs’ views of “party nomi nations,” 1 also, fully agree.—And as a good rule, it should work both ways. There fore, if the candidate is fairly and openly on the principles of the party, and fully ap proves them, and pledges himself to carry them out, the party of course is bound, not oniy by honor and fairness, but by duly and policy to support him. i wish to test the sincerity of these gentlemen- by the standard of’their own arguments. They are very plain and simple. The friends of Gen. Scott will have no objection to his claims being tested by the same standard* Therefore to the testimony. I give in the first place, an extract from. Gen. Scott’s speech at a Union meeting at Castle Garden, in the city of New York, Feb. 25, 1S5Q.
