At a meeting of the Committee on the Webster Dinner, held last evening, the following named gen-tlemen were appointed a Committee of Arrangement. ems, however sincere their exertions, or however) pure their intentions may be, under existing circumstances, to meliorate the condition of the colored population of the Bouth. When the chains of the slave are broken in pieces, it must be by a Southern hand and thousands of southern gentlemen are already extending their arms, ready to strike the blow.

And when exnerience shall tell them the time is at hand, wUful manner in which they gaze upon gentlemen who enter the mart, a. though anxious to put a period to this kind of enjoyment, .0 congenial to their feelings and temperament. Probably two-third of the first slave! came Into thi state from Virginia! and nearly all now introduced, of whom there are several thousands annually are brought from that state. Kentucky contributes a small number, which is yearly increasing; and since the late passage of the slave law mi Missouri, a new market is there opened for this trade. It is computed that more than two hundred thousand dollars' worth of slaves will be purchased in Missouri this season, for the Natchez market.

A single individual has recently left Natchez with one hundred thousand dollars, for the purpose of buying up negroes in that state to sell in Mississippi. The usual way of transporting slaves is by land, although they are frequently brought round by sea) but the last is the most expensive method, and therefore, to "bring them through," is accounted preferable. This is done by forming them into a caravan at the place where they are purchased, and conducting them by land through the Indian nations to this state. The route is for the most part through a continuous forest, and is usually performed by the nn font, in seven or eierht weeks. Their per Philadelphia Exchange Company.

(From the Baltimore American, of Friday. 1 A gentleman who was on board of the steam boat Constitution, on Wednesday morning, has furnished us with the particulars which led to the arrest of the two individuals who robbed the jewelry shop in Cal vert street: The rogues who. perpetrated the robbery, on Monday night, of the store of Messrs. Foxcroft and Clarke, had but a transient possession of their ill gotten booty.

Two of the passengers who left this city on Wednesday morning in the steamboat constitution for Philadelphia, presented an appearance which caused capiain pearce to regard tnem witn rather a suspicious eye. They were lads of about the age of eighteen to twenty, dressed in roundabouts, and otherwise shabbily clad, and from the eagerness with which they were observed to examine the advertisements of morning papers, it was supposed that they might be runaway apprentices. Their behaviour during the passage was further calculated to excite suspicion against them, and when captain Pearce subsequently ascertained that they had with them a trunk which corresponded closely, except in colour, with one which had been described to him as having been in the hands of two persons who had been seen 10 paca: jewelry in it ne determined to cAaiiiuie il. He accordingly demanded the key of the trunk from one of them, but he denied owning it and declared that it belonged to his colleague. 1 he latter was soon taken into the captain's office, where he gave up the key, but also denied that the trunk was his.

On opening it, Captain P. found in it the jewelry in question, when the rogues begged that they might not be exposed to the passengers. 1 hey were per mitted to walk the upper deck until the other boat from Frenchtown passed down, when they were transferred to the latter, together with the evidences of their guilt, and sent back to Baltimore. While they were passing in the small boat from one steamboat to the other, one of the rogues was seen to throw something into the water. A gentleman on board recognized one as having been until recently an inmate of the Washington penitentiary.

The whole proceeding was managed so judiciously by Captain Pearce, that scarcely any ot the passengers Knew that the rogues had been detected until they were safe on the steamboat for Pchsacola, (Florida,) Nov. 14. A few days ago some gentlemen, standing on the shore at St. Andrews Bay, had an opportunity of witnessing a singular contest between a Porpoise and a large Alligator. The combat lasted about half an hour, at the end of which time the Alligator gave in, and soon after floated on shore in a dying condition.

He was found to have been literally bruised to death by the strokes which the Porpoise was seen to inflict upon him with his tail. Tallahassee, (Florida,) Nov. 14. As three ne-Sroe, belonging to the Hon. J.

M. White, were passing aciun Montlceito, one being a little in advance of the other two, was attacked by a very large panther and hurled to the ground his companions coming up, one of whom seized the panther by the hind legs, and immediately the other collared the huge monster, but from the severe treatment he received, was forced to release his hold. At this critical juncture, the one who had been attacked, seized a stick and dispatched him, and bore his body off in triumph. The above facts can be substantiated by six respectable citizens who saw the animal after the negroes returned uninjured from the scene of slaughter.

Samuel Pool, aged ninety- seven years. Early in the year 1759, at the age of twenty, Mrs Pool, whose maiden name was Fullerton, was mar ried to Mr. Samuel Pool, then of Bndgewater, with whom she lived nearly seventy-one years, in the exemplary and faithful exercise of all the virtues of an amiable, discreet, and affectionate Christian wife and mother. The family of this lady has been remarkable for its numbers and health. At the death of her hus band, in Dec.

1830, their descendants were 271, of whom 251 were then living. At the time of her de cease, her descendants were, ten children, (nine now living.) sevcntu-lwo grand children, two hundred and forty jive great-grand-children; and seventeen great-great-grand-children; amounting, in all, to three hundred and forty-four descendants: of whom one hundred and thirty-eight are the offspring of her two first born children, who were twin sisters. The deaths that have occurred among her descend ants are forty-two, viz: 1 child, 8 grand-children, 30 great-grand-children, and three great-great-grandchildren, (all of whom, excepting five, died in childhood,) so that the number of her living de scendants, at the time of her death, was three hundred and two.

The main "principle" involved in the present contest in relation to the Presidentship, is as to the right and propriety of an incumbent nominating, and his power in virtually appointing a successor. We hold that all other matters connected with the subject are secondary in importance to this that this is the grand and paramount consideration. The Whig doctrine the republican doctrine is, unquestionably, that no President has the right to nominate or ought to be allowed the power to appoint his successor, and that any President who, either by word or deed, electioneers in behalf of a favorite, or interferes in the freedom of elections" so as to contribute to the advancement of that favorite, is manifestly acting out of the line of his duty and in a dangerous and unconstitutional manner. It seems to us, then, that all persons of all parties who believe this, and especially that all Whigs, could and ought with great readiness, and not only with no sacrifice of principle, but for the purpose of carrying out and sustaining their principles, agree to unite upon either Mr. Webster, General Harrison, or Judge White, as their candidate in opposition to Mr.

Van Buren. This is our view of the case, and observation and reflection but confirm us in our opinions." One syllable to the Alexandria Gazette. We do not concur with the Gazette as to the main principle. In our view, a much broader one it is essential that the candidate for so vast and momentous a trust as the Chief Magistracy of our Union, be absolutely qualified and entitled. The greatest evil which could befall the Executive branch, and the country so far as it is interested in that, would be, at this critical period, an incumbent" unequal and otherwise unsuitable to his post.

No one will deny that the President does wrong, and sets a very bad example, who nominates his successor. But it is a gross mis take to regard this as a sin, and the success of the attempt as an evil, which swallow up all other points, or reduce all other considerations to utter insignificance. We can never agree to compress the Whig cause within so small a compass. Were there not antagonist creeds of Whig and Tory, when President Jackson made the alleged nomination? Are they, in deed, all absorbed bv that sincrle act! Have the Whigs no constitutional doctrines and ad ministrative system to substitute tor tne He terodox and destructive pretensions and policy which they have imputed to the Van Buren league? Is it a trivial, or is it not rather an essential, primary object to carry to the station of most influence and action a Whig capa ble of accomplishing that substitution and re- ceneratine the Executive department? A President may nominate, but the People alone can appoint. 1 he choice made oy President mav be erood in itself.

It is certain that Mr. Jefferson, while in office, expressed and exerted himself for the election of Mr. Madison; and that Mr. Monroe enjoyed the advantage of the avowed favor of Mr. Madison: so Mr.

Adams, of Mr. Monroe. To attempt to make the Presidentship "hereditary in the military line," is quite as bad as to second a Presidential nomination of a successor. Such a nomination as that by the recent Baltimore Convention, may be deemed even worse than what President Jackson has done in this matter. We trust that the Whigs of our county and city will no where be supposed to prefer General Harri son as a candidate for the office of President.

Paragraphs in some of our newspapers are fitted to pro duce that idea at a distance; but the fact is, that a Vrrnt mnfnnlirnfth TO-U stcr or Clay. We learn that besides the subscription of the Phi ladelphia bar, liberal contributions have been received from Union, Schuylkill, and Berks counties, St. Louis, Worcester, Amherst, N. Norfolk, Utica, the First Jud icial District of North Carolina, Augusta, Ga. It is said that the Rev.

Dr. Channing is writing a dissertation on Negro Slavery, of a conciliatory purport. Miss Harriet Martineau is se verely handled in some of the northern newspapers for intermeddling publicly with the question of Negro Slavery. On that subject, now, for a foreigner, discretion is the belter part of valor. Our first page contains a large and engaging ex tract from the new work, The South-West, by a Yankee," which we mentioned yesterday.

We have since completed an attentive perusal of it, and retain the favorable opinion which a cursory examination produced. The vivacity of the author's tone, the fluency and animation of his style, and the multitude of new scenes and remarkable objects which fell within his survey, impart a peculiar and strong inte rest 10 nis pages. 1 00 mucn ot tne tirst volume is given to his sea voyage; but after his arrival at New Orleans, all is fresh, rapid, and more or less curious and instructive in the descriptions. He is not a ripe scholar nor a profound philosopher, yet he rea sons soundly enough on the whole, and sketches causes and effects, as well as manners and feel ings so as both to enlighten and amuse his reader. He is liberal without being unscrupulous, and grateful for enjoyment without concealing his sense of deficiencies and evils.

He makes us better acquainted with New Orleans, than any preceding author; by natural and vivid pictures, familiar anec dotes, and daily excursions and adventures. More than one-half of his first volume is allotted to that city and its neighborhood: he says of it" The city of New Orleans is planned on a magnificent scale, happily and judiciously combining ornament and con venience. Let the same spirit which foresaw and provided for its present greatness, animate those who will hereafter direct its public improvements, and New Orleans, in spite of its bug-bear character and its unhealthy location, will eventually be the hand somest, if not the largest city in the United States." The state of Mississippi is the subject of the yan kee'a second volume. He seems to have studied particularly and minutely negro life and character- Not a few passages of his text in relation to them are highly comical. He adduces illustrative personal traits, and dialogues which we may presume to be generally faithful.

We quote the annexed paragraphs because they exprecs his main conclusions concerning Abolition. Do not mistake me; I am no advocate for slavery; but neither am 1 a believer in that wild Garrisonian theory, which, like a magician's tvand, is at once to dissolve every link that binds the slave to his master, and demolish at one blow a system that has existed, still gaining in extent and stability, for centuries. The familiar French proverb, "imagination gallops, while the judgment advances only on a walk," is most applicable to these visionary theorists, who would build Rome in a day." The more I see of Slavery, the more firmly I am convinced, that the interference of our northern friends, in the present state of their information upon the subject, will be more injurious than beneficial to the cause.

PH 1LADELPIIIA SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 28. 1S35. FRiSKLlN County, Pa.

The Whigs of Franklin county have selected David Fullerton, James Calhoun and Frederick Byers, to represent them in the Whig Convention. There is a spirit of liberality in the resolutions of their meeting, which is absolutely necessary to promote concert of action throughout the State. Although General Harrison is decidedly the favorite candidate of the Whigs of Franklin county, yet his success is not considered of more import-since, than the defeat of the Baltimore nominee.

The (breeding paragraph is from the Ame rican Daily Advertiser of this morning.

It may be best elucidated by the following pas sages ol a letter which, we received yesieraay atternoon Irom a good source. Extract from a letter, dated Chavbebsbdro, 25th November, 1835. We are here all for Webster. The Harrison meeting here was a complete failure. Those who called it, invited "all opposed to Van Buren:" and when some gentlemen were disposed to examine the merits of the candidatea opposed to Van Buren, they were told it was a Harrison meeting.

One of them then referred to the call went into an examination of the pretensions of this new military chieftain, and had the pleasure of raising a little fun and some good laughter on the Harrison men. Mr. Fullertafr was placed in the chair to make an impression that he was for Harrison. The gentleman above alluded to, congratulated the meeting that three-fourths of those present were for Mr. Webster, and that the chairman was for Mr.

Webster. After the discussion closed, Mr. Fullerton rose and ratified all that had been said of him, saying that he came there with the distinct understanding that he was not for Harrison, but for Webster. We are to have a meeting here for Webster: we are getting the farmers and substantial class of people to sign a call for the meeting, and we will have nearly all the votes that are worth having. The majority of the delegates appointed at the Harrison meeting are for Webster and so are the Anti-Masonic delegates.

If Webster be taken up by the Anti Conven- The Pittsburgh Advocate, of tlie 24th says in relation to the Presidential question "It is easy to make out a case of Jitncss by mere generalities, but will it be seriously affirmed, even by the witnesses in this case, that there are not hun dreds, yea thousands of men in the country, equally capable with General Harrison? We could furnish toe known, to prove thai in evert mental attribute, Ac not above mediocrity. His acquaintances and even his friends are obliged to laugh at the extravagance of commendation which is bestowed on him. The idea that he has been brought out for his transcen dent merits as a statesman, and the regret so gravely announced by a certain newspaper, that he happened to be a chieftain, are so supremely ridiculous as to require no answer. He is respectable in his sphere, no doubt, but his friends ought to have discretion enoueh to stop there, and honesty enough to place his claims on their true foundation, even if they should thereby convict themselves or a little incon The Washington Globe of yesterday, says Hear the National Gazette, once so propitious to the nomination 0 White, any body to beat ran jsuren. This is an off-hand falsehood of the Globe.

We never subscribed to the nomination of Judge White, nor to the desperate ma xim. We remark in that most miserable of all the organs of faction, the Washington Telegraph, this statement. The favorite doctrine of the editor of the Na tional Gazette now is, that it would be much better for the glory of the Whig party that Mr. Van Buren should be elected, than a man of inferior qualifications to those which he supposes Mr. Webster pos.

sesses. The full strength of this idea cannot be perceived without bearing in mind that he believes that no other man has qualifications equal to Mr. Webster's. It then follows that the American people are to be compelled to choose entirely between -Mr. Van Buren and Mr.

Webster. If Mr. Webster won't answer, Mr. Van Buren must." Here a doctrine and belief are also ascribed to lis gratuitously. A man of qualifications inferior to those of Mr.

Webster, might be, for the Whigs, an eligible, if an available candidate; because the office of President does not indispensably exact, though it properly claims, abilities, experience, and services of the very highest or the superlative order. But it might be better to fail with Webster than succeed with a candidate incompetent and unfit in himself, whose incapacity and inaptitude would destroy his party and endanger the Constitution and the Union. It has never been our design or inclination to exalt Mr. Webster, invidiously, over the other great Whig leaders. We have not meant to disparage them in any respect.

Nothing has been said by us, on this Presidential question, which warrants jealousy, anger, or resentment in any quarter. It seems to be uni versally acknowledged by the Opposition, that Mr. Webster would adequately fill and gene rally deserves the office of President. Our sincere opinion, of late, has invariably been, that more strength could be rallied to him throughoutthe Union, than to any other Whig. Hence, we have thought it desirable, that he should be at once adopted as the candidate of the party particularly with reference to Pennsylvania.

It may not be worth the labor, it may be utterly hopeless, to make the experiment with any other than the New England statesman. If there must be a sacrifice of first choice, let it be within the bounds of the national weal let it be for another Whig in whose hands the Executive governmeTit would i COMETCHAMPAIUNK. 100 baskets Huinart's met brand Champaigne with and without caps; also 100 baskets Lafayelte brand, just received and for sale by HENRY BOHLEN, nov 69 south Fourth street.
