llotasechiesetts, in the year 1805. Ile issediately owe-
mooed the practice of the law le his satire state and
comity. His father, a man of sterling saw and character,
who Me Om last twelve years of kit h's had been • judge of
the Coast of Common Pleas, died in 1806, bat tot without
eajoying the satisfaction of hearing his son's first speeches
at the bet. In 1597 Mr. Webster removed to Portsmouth
In his native state, and soon became engaged in a most re-
spectable and extensive, but wet very Iterative, practice.
In 1812 he was chosen one of the members of Congress
from New Hampshire, and in dee time wu re-elected.
Although among the youngest members of the House of
Representatives, and entirely within' legislative sip*.
mace, he rose at once to the front rank, both
ia the despatch of business and in debate. Among
his associates in the house were Clay, Chives, Legends',
Calhoun, Forsyth, and other members of great ette.ity. It
was soon felt and admitted that he was wortby -to be
nausea with the ablest of them. It was the remark of Mr.
Lowndes that "the south had not his superior, nor the
north his equal." Finding the professional Bolds at Ports-
mouth inadequate to the support of a growing family, Mr.
Webster removed to Boston in 1816. His professional re-
putation had grown ea rapidly ma his fame as a atatasman.
He placed himself at once by the side of the leaders of the
Moseachuetts bar. He had already appeared before the
supreme court of the United States in Washiogton. By his
brilliant argument in the Dartmouth College ease, carried
by appeal to Washington is 1817, he took rank smug
the most distinguished jurists in this country. In 1320,
Mr. Webster was chums a member of • convention called
for the purpose of revising the constitution of Musa-
°banes. No one exercised a more powerful influence
over its deliberations. He was offered about this time a
nomination as a senator of the United States, but declined.
In 1821, he yielded to the most pressing solicitations to
become • candidate for the place of representative of the
city of Boston in the eighteenth Congress, and was chow n
by • very large majority. This step involved a great sacri-
fice of professional interest. He took his seat in Coogen-
in December. 1523, and early in the session made his colt.-
tasted speech on the Greek revolution, an effort which at
once established his reputation as one of the first statesmen
of the age. In the autumn of the sense year be was re-
elected by • vote of 4,990, out of 5000 east. In 1826, he
was again • candidate, and not a huNdred votes were thrown
against him. Under the presidency of Mr. Adams (1823 '29),
he was the leader of the friends of the administration, first
in the House of Reponeetatives, and afterwards in the
Seam of the United States, to which he Inn elected in
June, 1827. His great speech on the Panama mission wee
roadsin the first session of the nineteenth Congress. When
the tariff law of 1824 was brragbt forward Mr. Webster
spoke with great ability against it on the ground of expe-
diency. He represented one of the greatest commercial
constituencies in the union i and hie colleague', with •
single exception, voted with him against the bill. This
law, however, forced a large amount of the capital of New
England into manufactures ; and in 1875 Mr. Webster sue-
taiued the law of that year for a more equal adjustment of
the benefits of protection. The change which took place in
his course in this Input was the result of the drum
stances alluded to, and was improved by his constituents.
Mr. Webster remained in the Senate under the administra-
tions of General tubas and Mr. Van Baru, a period of
twelve years. During this time the most important ques-
tions were diseumed, TOOMUTO of the highest moment to the
comity were brought forward, and political events and
combinaldeme of the mint novel and extraordinary character
esnaimild each other. Under all changes of men and inea-
mese Mg. Webster maintained the position of • coutitu-
