BIOGRAPHICAL NOTICE OF DANIEL
WEBSTER.
[COSTIItUEB.]
In the month of November, 1836, Mr. Van
Buren was chosen President of the United
States. In the succeeding February, Mr.
Webster, in the course of an address delivered
before a large popular assemblage at Niblo's
Saloon, foretold the crisis impending over the
country. That crisis was hastened by the fa
mous Specie Circular, the object of which was
:o draw the public deposites from the State
Banks in which they had been placed. An im
mediate suspension of specie payments was
the consequence, and Mr. Webster, who, in
the spring of 1837, for the first time, made the
tour of the Western States, amid unusual de
monstrations of popular respect and admira
tion, had the melancholy satisfaction of every
where seeing the fulfilment of his prediction.
To such a height had the public distress
risen, that oneofMr. Van Buren's first official
acts was to call an extra session of Congress,
to be held in September, 1837. In his mes
sage, he recommended, for the first time, the
inaneial plan, known as the "Sub-Treasury
System," which required a rigid exaction of
specie for all sums due to the government. —
Regarding this as impossible of accom
plishment, in the then existing condition
of the country, Mr. Webster opposed it with
all the zeal and eloquence of which he was
master, and being ably seconded by other
great men of the party to which he belonged,
they succeeded in defeating it by a large ma
jority. To the surprise of the w hole country,
Mr. Calhoun, who haa sustained the Bank of
the United States with great zeal, and had de
nounced, in unmeasured terms, the whole
fiunncial policy of Gen. Jackson's Administra
tion, appeared now as the champion of the
"Sub Treasury System." He not only ex
pressed opinions favorable to it, during the
extra sessiou, but after its adjournment, elabo
rated them in a letter to his constituents. Still
more at large, he expressed himself in its favor,
in a speech delivered during the regular ses
sion of 1837 '38, wherein he maintained that it
was no more than an attempt to carry out the
joint resolution of April 30th, 1816, which had
been introduced by Mr. Webster in a crisis
like the present, and had been the means of re
storing specie payments. This allusion called
out Mr. Webster, who, on the 12th of March,
made the most elaborate speech he had ever
made upon the subject of finance, undertaking
to show, and completely succeeding in show
ing, that there was no analogy whatever be
tween the two measures. He argued the con
stitutional right of the General Government to
U6e a convertible paper in the transaction of
its business, and to employ Banks for the
transmission of its funds, from the necessity of
the case, from contemporaneous expositions of
the constitution, and from the piactice of all
preceding Administrations, including that oi
Getleral Jackson himself. He said that the
opinion of eveiy leading statesman of the
country, Mr. Calhoun net excepted, had been
declared in its favor, and he reviewed she
course of that gentleman in such a way, as un
avoidably to suggest the idea of inconsistency,
though he did not make the charge in direct
terms. A few weeks after, Mr. Calhoun re
plied to this speech, and in the course of his
reply, dwelt with extreme severity upon Mr.
Webster's course during the war of 1812. As
this is the only occasion on which these two
great men ever indulged in anything approach
ing mutual recrimination, we shall be excused
iur inserting the rejoinder of Mr. Webster to so
much of his opponent's speech as was person
al. I: exhibits a true history of his whole con
gressional career during the war, and is the
best correction of the numberless misrepresen
tations of his enemies, some of whom have en
deavored to implicate him in the Hartford
Convention treason.
"But, Sir, before attempting that, he [Mr.
Calhoun] lias something else to aay. He hud
prepared, it seems, to draw comparisons him
self. He had intended to say something, if
time had allowed, upon our respective opinions
and conduct in regard the war. If time had al
lowed ! Sir, time does allow, time must al
low. A general remark ol that kind ought not
to be, cannot be, left to produce its effect, when
that effect is obviously intended to be unfavo
rable. Why didrfhe gentleman allude to mv
votes or my opinions respecting the war at all,
unless he had something to say ? Does he
wish to leave an undefined impression that
something was done, or something said, by me,
not now capable of defence or justification ?
something not reconcilable with true patriot
ism? He means that or nothing. And now,
Sir, let him bring the matter forth; let him take
the responsibility of the a-cusation ; let him
atate his facts. I am here to answer ; 1 am
here, this day, to answer. Now is the time,
and now is the hour. 1 think we read, Sir,
that one ol the good spirits would not bring
sgainst the Arch-enemy of mankind a railing
accusation ; what is roiling but general re
proach, an imputation without fact, time, or
circumstance? Sir, 1 call for particulars. The
gentleman knows my whole conduct well; in
deed, the journals show it all, from the moment
1 came into Congress till the peace. If 1 have
doue, then. Sir, any thing unpatriotic, any
thing which, as far aB love to country goes,
will not bear comparison with his or any man's
conduct, let it now be stated, (me me the
fact, the lime, the manner. He speaks of the
war ; that which we call the late war, though
it is now twenty-five years since it terminated.
He would leave an impression that I opposed
it. How T I was not in Cougress when war
was declared, nor in public life any where, i
was pursuing my profesjion, keeping company
with judges and jurors, and plsintiffg and de
I H1 had been in Congress, and had
enjoyed the benefit of hearing the honorable
gentleman s speeches, for aught 1 can say I
might have concurred with him. But I was
not in public life. I never had been for a single
hour; and wag in no situation, therefore, to op
pose or to support the declaration of war. 1
am apeakin* to the facl. Sir ; aud if the gentle
man has any fact, let us know it.
"Well, Sir,l came into Congress during the
TV." , I « )u " d " waged, and raging. And what
did Ido here to oppose it ? Look to the jour
nal*. Let tbe honorable gentleman tax his
memory. Bring up any thing, if there be any
thing lo brinjf up, not showing error of opin
ion, but showing want of loyalty or fidelity to
tIM country. I did not agree to all that waa
proposed, nor did the honorable member. I
did not approve of every measure, nor did be
The war bad been preceded by tbe reatrictive
Zafem and tbe embargo. As a private iitiivi.
ml, 1 certainly did not think well ofjbeae
annoyed ournehea as much as our enemies,
while it destroyed the business and cramped
the spirits ot the people. In this opinion 1
may have been right or wrong, hut the gentle
man was himself of the same opinion. He told
us the other day, as a proof of his independence
of psrty on great questions, that he difftred
with his friends on the subject ofihe embargo.
He was decidedly and unalterably opposed to
it. It furnishes in his judgment, therefore, no
imputation either on my patriotism, or on the
soundness of my political opinions, that I was
opposed to it also. I mean opposed in opinion:
for 1 was not in Congress*, and had nothing to
do with the act creating (he embargo. And as
to opposition to measures for carrying on the
war, ofter I came into Congress, I again say,
let the gentleman specify ; let him lay his
finger on any thing calling lor an answer, and
he shall have an answer. .
"Mr. President, you were yourself in the
House during a considerable part ot this time.
The honorable gentleman may make a witness
of vou. He may make a witness of anybody
else. He may be his own witness. Give us
but some tact, some charge, something capa
ble in itselfeither of being proved or disproved.
Prove any thing, state any thing, not consistent
with honorable and patriotic conduct, and I
uin ready to answer it. Sir, I am glad this
subject has been alluded to in a manner which
justifies me in taking public notice of it; be
cause I am well aware that, for ten years past,
infinite pains has been taken to find something,
in the rßtige of these topics, which might cre
ate prejudice against me in the country. Ihe
journals have all been pored over, and the re
ports ransacked, and scraps of paragraphs and
half-sentences have been collected, fraudulent
ly put together, and then made to fl»r« out as
if there had been some discovery. But all this
failed. The next resort was to supposed cor
respondence. My letters were sought for, to
learn if, in the confidence of private friendship,
I had ever said any tiling which an enemy
could make use of. ' With this view, the vici
nity of my former residence has been searched,
as with a lighted candle. New Hampshire
has been explored f rom the mouth of the Merri
mack to the White Hills. In one instance, a
gentleman had left the State, gone five hun
dred miles off, and died. His papers were ex
amined ; a letter was fonnd, and, 1 have under
stood, it was brought to Washington ; a con
clave was held to consider it, and the result
was, that, if there was nothing else against Mr.
Webster, the matter had better be let alone.—
Sir, I hope to make every body of that opinion
who brings against me a charge of want of pa
triotism. Errors of opinion can be found,
doubtless, on many subjects; but as conduct
flows from the feelings which animate the
heart, I know that no act of my life has had its
origin in the want of ardent love ofcountry."
In the spring of 1839, Mr. Webster crossed
the Atlantic, for the first time, and passed
through England, Scotlard and France. No
American, since the days of Franklin, ever cre
ated so great a sensation in the Old World.—
He was received, everywhere, by the wealthy
the powerful, and the distinguished, with hon"
orsdueto a public ambassador, and hitherto
bestowed upon no private individual. During
this tour he was received and treated with the
utmost distinction by Lord Ashburton, and the
intimate friendship which sprung up between
tween them was, in the course of time, as we
shall presently see, of the lust importance to
their respective countries.
Mr. Webster returned home in time to re
sume his seat at the opening of the session of
1839-'4O. During the campaign of 1840, he ex
erted himself in favor of the Whig candidate,
with extraordinary zeal. He took the stump
earl? in the action, and continued to keep it
until it was decided. No man, probably, even
in that season of extraordinary exertion, con
tributed more powerfully to the success
General Harrison. In the course of that cam
paign, upon the occasion of the great Whig
gathering on the anniversary of the battle of
the Thames, (sth of October, 1840,) he deliver
ed, in "the South porch of the Capitol,"
"standing under an October sun," an address,
every word of which is still engraved on the
memory of thousands of Virginiaus.
TIIE DANVILLE RAILROAD.
The exertions which have been made, and
are making, in favor of this great improvement
by that most indefatigable of railroad Presi
dents, Mr. Whitmeil P. Tunstall, cannot be
better illustrated than by publishing the follow
ing extract from the Danville Register:
Whitmeil P. Tunstall, and others, will ad
dress the people of Pittsylvania on the subject
of the Richmond and Danville Railroad, at
Laurel Grove on Saturday, the oth of Novem
ber.

Tuesday 9th.
♦ At Straightstone Meeting House, Wednesday
the 10th.

At Moorman's Store, on Saturday the 13th.
At Cascade, Monday the 15th.
The Ladies are respectfully invited.
Not less indefatigable have been the exer
tions ot Mr. Giffoid,the Vice President. Speak
ing of the two, a writer in the Enquirer who
dates from Martinsville, Henry county, says*
Our remote and quiet village has just been
entertained by two very interesting speeches,
one from Mr. Ciifford of Chesterfield, and the
other from Mr. Tunstall of Pittsylvania, upon
the subject of the Richmond end Hanville Kail
road. These gentlemen made characteristic
speeches. Mr. Gilford's was full of strong
sense and practical argument, while that of Mr.
Tunstall, as all his speeches upon this subject
do, abounded in pathos, wit, argument and
striking illustration ; and either of itself, was
sufficient to satisfy any man of the entire prac
ticability, as well as the absolute certainty of
the construction of the road. These gentle
men have paid our countv a flying visit, and
have addressed our people at all the leading
points, and from what I see and hear, and frotn
what I know of the enterprising spirit of our
citizens, I feel fully warranted in saying thm
at the polls on the fourth Thursday in Novem
ber next, we will record a decisive majority in
favor ol this great improvement. Our people
are thoroughly aroused to its importance to
The same writer says that the question is
often asked "What will Richmond do 7" and
then proceeds to ask, himself, the following
questions with regard to this city:
Will she, at the pinch of the K ame, withdraw
heretofore generous, elhcient and powerful
support from this great scheme in which she
IS so largely and vitally interested ? Does she

I hope Richmond will set us a good example,
by adopting the proposition upon which she
it) soon to vote ; but if she should nor, we can
and will show her the spirit of enterprise and
determination that prevails in our beautiful and
pure mountain region. In haste, yours, &,c.
WVthink we can put the writer at ease with
regard to Richmond. We feel as well assuredi
as though we were speaking of an accomplish
ed fact, that she will do what is due to herself,
to her intelligence, to the progress of the age,
and to common sense. She has seen that this
road, penetrating a country by far less produc
tive than that which lies beyond its present
terminus, when it had proceeded only 65 miles,
realized a revenue of $15,000 in a single month.
She cannot but be aware that its receipts have
increased every step it has taken, and that
therefore, at least, the stock must be produc
tive. But Richmond sees, or ought to see, a
great deal farther than that. This road pene
trates a country rich beyond all calculation in
the very material most valuable to her—the
very material which gives employment to most
of her population—the very material by which
the larger number of fortunes have been made
here—the very material that she ships in largest
quantities to the North and to Europe—in one
word, the staple of her trade. In this respect
no other railroad that could be run in any di
rection from Richmond, could bring her half
the custom in marketable produce. The low
er James River country might compete with
that penetrated by the Danville Railroad, for its
supply of corn is altogether unlimited. But it
has no railroads, and if one from this city should
run through it, it would not send us a bar
rel more. It would still ship it, as it does
at present, to the North and to Europe. So far,
then, as the city of Richmond is concerned,
the utility of the Danville Railroad is altogeth
er unapproachable. We can hardly believe
that the freeholders are eo void of understand
ing, generally, as not to see this, and for that
reason we feel no appiehension about their de
cision.
The Cuban Movement.—The New York
Courier of Saturday, says:
As to the Cuban expedition, we learn from
an undoubted source, that it is in a forward state
of preparation, and it is represented that the
utmost care has been taken by the leaders not
to violate the neutrality laws ot the United
States. All the arms and ammunition required
have been procured abroad in large quantities,
and now deposited without the bounds of the
United States, in a depot known only a few
of the leading spirits. Not even a pop gun
has been procured in the United States. The
men are to leave this country as emigrants—
unarmed, and will sail from different ports, and
it is calculated, in such a manner, that no sus
picion shall go abroad as to their actual desti
nation. The measures of the revolutionists
have been taken with great circumspection,
and, it is only to be feared, that those who em
bark in this expedition will mset the bloody
fate of their predecessors.
Louis Napoleon.—The editor of the Brook
lyn Daily Advartiser says some strange things
about the French Emperor. He says he knew
him whilst he was residing in New York ; that
he was very poor ati'J dissipated. Notoriously
profligate in his habits, and without the pecu
niary ability to indulge to the full bent of his
inclination the culpable propensities which
characterized him, he was frequently expelled
from certain places in which he obtruded him
self, and more than a dozen times was the oc
cupant of a cell at the old jail in the Park, long
since torn down. The editor thus continues
the reminiscences :
Not long prior to his leaving the U. States,
lie was arrested for a misdemeanor, committed
by him at the disreputable house of a woman
whose establishment he often visited, and the
writer of this article was employed profession
ally by him to save him from the threatened
consequences of his recklessness and indiscre
tion. We little supposed at that time that the
thoughtless, gay young man, who was then our
clieut,(and who is stiil indebted to us for coun
sel feesuud disbursements) would become Em
peror of France.
Mr. Webster's Death.—The intelligence
of the death of Mr. Webster has caused a deep
sensation of grief with the 6trangers, as well
as among his countrymen who are resident in
Havana; and politically speaking, says a let
ter, the Spanish authorities consider that they
have lost a firm friend, from the peculiar views
of that statesman in relation to this dependency
of Spain.
Declination or Rev. Dr. Hawks—lt is
stated that the Rev. Francis L. Hawks, who
was elected to the bishopric of Rhode Island,
with the Rectorship of Grace Church, in Pro
vidence, has declined their acceptance. He
will remain, as at present, over Calvary
Church, in New York city.
Mrs. General Pierce.— The Portsmouth
(N. H.) Chronicle states that Gen. Pierce is
about to take up his residence in Portsmouth.
The reason for this step is understood to be
that the health of his wife is benefitted by the
sea air. The Chronicle adds, that Gen. Pierce,
on the 4th of March, will carry with him to
the White House, in Washington, one of the
best of women to be mistress of the National
Mansion.

the issue, by the Council, of small notes, so
as to furnish a circulating medium, reported
against stud issue, on the ground that it would

be setting the pernicious example of sworn au
thorities breaking the very laws they were
bound to carry out. The report was a lengthy
and able one, and concluding with a resolu
tion recommending that the petition be reject

We venture to recommend Mr. Butters as a man.
who can at all times, or at least upon a very short
notice, supply the needful.
It is due to Mr. Robert A. Mayo, that we

sard to the driver could be obtained. This fac t
