Loveliness. It is not your dress, ladies
your .expensive shawl, or golden fingers,
that attract the attention of men of sense
they look beyond tliee. . It is your charac
ter they study. If you are trifling and lose
in-your conversation, no matter if you are
as beautiful as an angel, you have no attrac

nature that wins and continues to retain
the affections of the heart. Young ladies
sadly mist it who labor to improve their
outward looks, while they bestow no care
upon their minds. Fools may be won by
gewgaws, and fashionable showy dresses
but the wise and substantial are never
caught by such traps. Let modesty be your

Lnst Will and Testament
OF DANIEL WEI1STER '
The Brston Courier publishes Mr. Web
ster s ill entire as follows:
In tub kamb or Almightt God !
I, Daniel Webster, of Marsblield, iu the
county of Plymouth, and Commonwealth
of Massachusetts, Esqnire, being now
confined to my house with a serious ill.
ness which considering my time of life,
is undoubtedly critical but, being never
theless in the full poMeKMon of all my
mental faculties, do mnke and publish
this my last Will and Testamt.
I commit my soul into the hands of my
Heavenly Father, trusting in his infinite
goodness and mercy.
I direct that my mortal remains be buried
in the family vault at Maribfi;ld, where
monuments are already erected to my de
ceased childreu and their mother. Two
places are marked for other mouumcnts, of
exactly the same size and form. One of
these, in proper time, is to bo for me, nnJ
perhaps I may hat e an epitaph. The other
is for Mrs. Webster. Her ancestors and all
her kindred lie iu a far distant city. My
hope is that after many years she may come
to my side and join me and others whom
God hath given me,
I with to be burried without the least
show or ostentation, but in a manner re
spectful to my neighbors, whoo kindness
has contributed so much to the happiness of
me and mine, and for whose prosperity I
offer sincere prayers to God,
Concerning my worldly estate my Will
must be aiiomtilousnnd out of the common
form, oil account of the state of my llTairs.
I have two large real estates. By mar
riage settlement, Mrs. Webster is entitled
to a life estate iu each, and after her death
(hey belong to my heirs. On the Frank in
ce'ate. so fur as I know, there is no incum
brance except Mrs. Webster's life estate.
On Marshfield, Mr. Samuel Frotliitigham
has an unpaid balance of a mortgage, now
rinmiimnig ta twenty-five hundred "dollars.
My great and leading wish is to preserve
M.iiel.field, if I can, iu the blood and name
of my own family. 1 o this end, it must go
in the first place to my son, i.letcher W eb
ster, who is hereafter to be the immediate
nroD of mv house, and the general rente
seutativc of my name and character. I
have the fullest confidence in, bis affection.
and good sense, and that be will heartily
concur in any thing that appears to be for
the best.
I do not see, under present circumstances
of him and his family, how I can nowrriake
a definite provision for the future beyond
hie life. I propose, therefore, to put the
pioperty into the hands of Trustees to be
disposed of by them us exigencies may re.
quire . . , . , , , .
My affectionate wife, who has been to
me a source of so much happiness, must be
tenderly provided for. Care must be laken
that she has some reasonable income.
make this Will upon (he faith of what lias
been said to me by my'friends, of means
which will be found to carry out my reason
able wishes. It, is best that Mr. Webster's
life interest in the two estates be purchased
out. It must be seen what oau be itoue
with friends at Boston, and especially with
: the contributors to my life. My sou-iu-j
law, Mr. Appleton, has most generously
requested me to pay little regard to his in
terests or those of his children ; but I must
do something and enough to manifest my
love and attachment to him and tl.em.
The property best to be spared (or the pur
pose of buying out Mrs. Webster's life in
terest under the marriage settlement is
Franklin, which is very valuable property,
and which may be sold under prudent man
agement, or mortgaged for a considerable
sum. ' ,
I have also a quantity of valuable land iu
Illinois, at Pern, which is to be immediate
ly seen after. Mr. Edward Curtis and Mr.
Biatchford and Mr. Franklin Haven know
all about my large debts, and they have un
dertaken to see at once whett.er tho4e can
be provided for, so that these purposes may
probably be carried into effect.
With these explanations, I now make the
following provisions, namely;
Item. I appoint my wife. Caroline Le
Roy Weluter, my sou, Fletcher Webster,
and R. M. Biatchford, Esq., of New York,
to be the Executors of this Will. I wUh

sake aud that of his family ; and in all

Tnuu, namely :

res admit of his expressing his wishes,
otherwise net ing upon iheirown discretion ;

-atlonul anil Inter-State
Comity.
The following communication from
an ftiliglitrnetf Jurist of ft neighbor
ing city, on the subject of Comity of
the States to each other, is well worthy
of attention. E!. A!hniy State lie
Sister.) .
One of the mmt routesteJ uJ lenst pie
cise priuciple of the law of n' ions, and of
American publio and private international
law, is Xtitiontil ami Inter State Uomily.
The reason is obvious. Every nation ha
rtn exclusive jurisdiction over its terruoiy.
and no extra territorial law or trinsactioii
cau exist or be enforced there, exc-l by
express or perunsi-ive consent of the ire
ioci. Among the States of our Union,
beirig municipal sovereignties, llio same
principles applv, with this modifuwiiou.
that our federal constitution, forming the
Stale iuto a perpetual Union, and secur
nig it common chumship to all American
ciii.eiis, aud certain extra territorial rights
of the States, a conxiiou Legislature, Cong
ress, and gsuernl laws regulating inter
course ana commerce among the State,
give to national comity an ellvcl far grea
ter among our States than among separate
tuition.
Our system of necessity not only embia
ce the principles of national comity, but
by implication those of Iuter-S'ate comity
essential to complete the perfect hinunuy
sud union of the United State.' This es
sential part of American law and jurei)iu-
dence i found Iu no expies declaration of
thr national constitution, but it Is incidental-
, ly reeogniiscd by the power conferred on
Congress over commerce, and intercourse
with loreign nations and among the Stales;
' l.v t,n nntionul pIFhcI rriventn indicin! nrn,

o- - -
nals; by the common rights of citizenship
conferred on American citizens in all the
Slates by act of Congress allowing the re
capture of person bound tuservice, if found
in national territories, sud by acts permit,
ting, iu place under the exclusive jurisdic
tion of the Uuited States, the arrest of
fugitive slaves and criminals fleeing from
froin State jurisdictions. ' Though not
inserted in State constitutions, their laws
and tribunals renogni-e National and luter
State comity as part of the lex loci and of
the American jurisprudence.' ' 80 the Sit
pieme Court of the United States has de
cidsd. National and Iuter-State comity,
then, is an incidental and essential part of
American law and jurisprudence.
Th" only debaiesble points are the ap
plication of it principle. When in any
Staie tribunal the law of comity U to be
applied to foreign contracts, marriage, di
vorces, marriage contracts, transfers, hen,
bankrupt discharge, defence, wills, &o.,
arriving or made iu foreign nations, or other
States of our Uuion, all State couru agree
to the existence of the law of National and
Inter. Stale comity, and they seek fuirly and
fully to apply and enforce it. This is not
by virtue of any express injunction of Slate
law, but because it is incident to our system
and to the just and carbolic principles in
fused into modern jurisprudence of ihegos
pel. :
In question touching slavery and ' the
rights of masters over person held to ser
vice, this law of comity huS not been en
forced in any of our Slates by the State
tribunals. A brief examination of the sub
ject will show this to be a violation of the
spirit of our pulilie law. By the national
constitution; property iu persons hcldto ser
vice is made a subject of Utroct national
taxation, and of course the right of the mas
ters is directly recognized by the compact
of the Union. When it was adopted near
ly all our State allowed slavery, and the
purchase and sale ot slaves, aud their pas.
sage with their masters into aud through
all or any of our States, was at that day
common, and this was an acknowledged
right indisputably exercised. . This was,
then, the comity of our States, and the
constitution was adopted to make the L nioa
more jterfect. The right of property in
slave being admitted by the compact of the
State, i il not against comity, justice, and
good faith for any State to seek to detiroy
it, and thus violate the letter and spirit of
our federal Constitution :
There are now about three millions of
staves cast upon our shores by the colonial
policy aud cupidity of Britain. They are
more comfortably fed, clothed, and provid
ed for than six millions of the poor of Brit
ain and Ireland. They are worth probably
nine hundred millions of dollars, and their
labor produces a comfortable support for
themselves, aud furnishes an annual pro
duct of three-millions of bales of cotton.
and a large amount of sugar, rice, and to
bacco, wheat, corn, hemp, ice, amounting
prolably at least to two hundred and fifty
millions of dollars worth of yearly slavery
product. It furnishes the leadiug articles
of our foreign cominuice. 2t connect it
self with our commercial, manufacturing,
and national interests, as well at with the
immediate happiness of the population of
our fifteen slave States. Who cau say thai
it is not a great national mterest, as well
at a most irnpor;aut projerty, recognised
and guarantied by the Constitution of the
Union? J -'
It ia the right of every American citizen
to pass at pleasure iu'O, through, aud out
of any Stale, au l it belongs alike to alL
It is freely admitted that any Stale, or
Congress, by virtue of sovereignty, may
establish or abolish slavery within its isrn
lory ; but ncithter Congrei uor any iate
. u in b r r &
has a right to deny a temporary residence
toa inaMeraud hi dumentir, though stave
or a fire passage Willi them through its
territory : and any State that, by its lav
or tribunals, discharges such tlavrs from
the legal ownership or control of thtir mas
ter on that account, violates Ameiican pub
lic law and the true principles of comity
that farm an essential part of American law
and jiirirudeiice.
A Court aud Judges have bi-tJ differ
ent doctrines 011 the subjnet of the applica
tion of comity to slave ptop'riy, a declara
tory law ought to lie passed in the Kmie of
New York, and in all the State of our
Union, to enforce National and Lit r-Siata
comity ; the former a now practised, and
the lattiron the foregoing piiuciples. And
all the laws violating Inter -State comity in
our States ought to be repealed.
The principle above noted are eltWat
ly explained and authorities referred to, in
a work on Publio Law entitled "American
Institutes,'' now ready for the press, writ

gold, and $36,280,000 silver. For the ten
succeeding years there was but little in
crease iu the supply, and down to the wars'
in the Spanish American eolonies, accord
ing to Jacob, th supply from the American
mines did not exceed $20,000,000 a year.
In 1814 McCulloch nates the supply from
all the woild ai $30,000,000, In 1847 this
supply wss increased by the "products of the'
Russian mines to $67,000,000.! The pto-i
ducts ol the California auJ other mines have
swollen the amount iti 1653 to $17tUb4,-,
000 ; in gold $13S,834,0, Bud in silver
about $39,000,000 from all tha wotld.i
The ;so ply , la 185$ is aboot sut times;
as large a il was tweuty years since. No
reduction in the supply is auticipated for a
number 'of years. Should ; there be a
reduction in the produeu of the California,
mine, those of Australia will at least make,
good any deficiency.
An important' difference appears iu the
present increase oo, that of former years.
Iti this: the present Increase is In gold,'
while in former years was nearly all silver.;
This difference has already produced a great
change n the relative value of gold ami
silver, and a still greater change is looked'
for ' The' Review, in consideration f the
matter, thinks it but the exerc of ordi
nary caution to assume that " the annual;
supply ot the precious men !s will not fall'
below a hundred millions of dollars for many
years, and that in a .quarter of a century!
ihis supply will depreciate money to one
half or one-third it present value..
The general opinion is that the value of
monev 1 reduced in the precise ratio of
the increase of the quality . There eau
be little doubt that the large increase in the
qiiaiuiiy of the precious metal will ooca-.
sion important chauge in the value of rnon-,
ey, but no cause of alarm is een iu that.
The operation will be very gradual. "and
must continue for many years. A dudlne
in the value of money will iacreate wages,,
and the price of agricultural and manufac
turing product as well as rest estate. In
this getieral and gradual change there will (
be no revulsion to produce general uts;re-
No Antagonism Bgtwken Capital and.
Labob. The Hon. Edward Everett,, in
one of his speeches at ttie dinner in Boston,
giveu to Baring, the celebrated Loudon
Banker, argued iu his felieiiious style that
there could be no antagouisra between,
Capital aad Labor : , . :
The owner of capital, saiJ Mr. Everett'
in England or America, really reaps the
smallest portion of the advantages which
flow from its poseaion he being but a
kind of head tcKik-keeper or chief clerk to (
the business community. ' He may be as '
rich as Cr:u, but ke ra a neither ear,
drink, nor wear more than one man's por
tion ' Mr. Everett said he remembered
healing a jest made about Mr. A-ttor's pro- ,
perly, which contained, he thought, a great
deal of meaning a latent, practical philo
sophy. Some one wa asked whether he '
would be willing to take care of all Mr. j
Astor's property eight or ten million of ,
dollar merely for hit board and clothing. '
No," wathe indignant answer, "do you
think me a fool." .
"Well," rejoiues tho other, "that i alt
Mr. Astor hiiwelf gel for taking care of tt,
he is found, and that's all. The boux,
the warehouse, the ships, the (arms wh eh
be com'.s by the hundreds, auJ is obliged
(o take care of, are for' the feccotuodatiou .
of others,"
Bur then he has the income, the rents of
all this mighty property, five or six hiludrtfd
ihonsand dollars per anntftn; - -
"Yes," bat he cau da' nothing with Lis ,
income but build more h a-t and w.no-
houses, and ships or loan more money 0:1

out of it." .
