MR.. WEBSTER,

Mr.. Webster, the distinguished rep.
resentative of Boston, in the National
Congress, is not personally known to
the people of Charleston, who NAV
therefore feel some interest in the fol-
lowing slight sketch of his character
and history.
Heis native of New-Hampshire.
and was educated at Dartmouth College
in that State. After a few years prac-
lice at the bar he was elected a mem
Der of Congress, at a period when our
difficulties with foreign nations, and our
internal dissentionS rendered our nation
al legislature the theatre of the mos;
important and the most imprisoned dis
cusslon. At that time Mr.. Webster cb-
tanned and still enjoys the esteem and
the regard of the most virtuous and en-
lightened men with whom he was asso.
cIated.
The concerns ofhis family requiring
his attention to his profession, be de-
clined reelection to Congress; and,
subsequently, only few years since
removed to Boston.
The enlightened people of that place
who for years had enjoyed daily in
tercourse with the profound learning of
Parsons-the dignifed eloquence Of
Dexter-and the unequalled fascinatians
of Otis, looked eagerly for one who
should remind them OF these. And the
gentleman of the Boston Bar, actuated
by the most kind and brotherly feelings,
welcomed Mr. Webster as an associate,
with the most perfect consciousness
that he came to surpass them in the
race. There is no envy among great
minds--and nothing selfish in the vo-
taries Of truth.
The town of Boston had always been
ably represented--but at the last cleo
ton, at public meeting at Fanuiel Hall
to select candidate in the room of Mr..
Gorham, who declined reelection, that
gentleman addressed the meeting, and
doing great injustice to himself, spoke
lightly of his own ability, and recon-
mended Mr.. Webster to supply his place
because ofhis we'll known reputation
tor talents and virtue and particularly
because the late Mr.. Lowndes, ever TO
be named with love and with sorrow.
had spoken thus of him -" We in the
South have not his superior, and you in
the North haze not his equal' Beau
tltul testimonial of kindred genius!
The peop.e of Boston felt this appeal
and acknowledged it, and Mr.. Webster
was elected by an immense majority
over highly respectable opponent.
His clreer at Washington will illus
trate i:self.
In private life, he is beloved, for ex.

folk. This gentleman has been many years
in the Senate of this State, and was one of
the Executive Council during several years
of Governor Brooks administration. His at
tention, capacity, and industry in these sta
tons have been highly commended. He has
been distinguished member, for many years
of the Massachusetts Agricultural Society,
and has been much esteemed therein, as a
practical and scientific farmer. His qualif-
cations, as an individual, and as an intelli~
gent and experienced statesman, are such as
entitle the committee to say, that he is in all
respects deserving of the suffrages Of his fell
low citizens for the second place in their

All which is respectfully submitted for the

SIR.-We are committee chosen at a late

port, at an adjourned meeting, the proper meas
ures to be pursued, at the approaching election.
The long continued political tranquility,
which the Federal party had enjoyed, before
the last elections, had produced state of ease
and security, which our political adversaries
well understood. Awaiting themselves of a
new nomination, and bringing into action
their powers and means, Ito some of which
we cannot recur, without indignant emotions)
they secured a triumph
But neither we, nor our friends, are dis
heartened, and we are ready to perform our
duties to ourselves, and to them.

continued, faithful, and honorable services, in
the cause of good government; and in pur-
suance of the trust con6ded to US by our con-

permission to nominate you, for the Office OF
Chief Magistrate for the ensuing year.
We have the honor to be, with the highest

The following communication being written
in answer to small paragraph in our last pa
per, it is but an act of justice to say, that the
article was penned, merely as one of informa-
ton, that it was not derived, by us, from any
one who had opposed the charter, but from
common report, and we believe, also, from a
statement in one of the Boston papers, that it
was not done in any spirit Of uniriendlnes. to

the effect would be favourable, or otherwise.
