DANIEL WEBSTER.

! Our readers will please turn to the first page o
THIS paper, and read curious piece of epstolar,
composition IN the shape Of "A letter from no less :
personnge than the " G6dLke " Daniel Webster te

1 ~ in The State of Pennsylvania What will Jimm,
Crow say to tlis Will he still keep at the head OF
his editorial columns in his Royal Arch paper, the
name OF Daniel Webster, eleventh hour convert
to Antlm saonry, bis candidate for the presidency
As for our humble selves VIC think Daniel bos
missed figure this time in his calculation. But
without impuiIng to him any sinister object or pur-
pose, without saying that we think hlm more ambi-
tous than wise, without throwing back upon him
and his party the stale charge of intrigue and cor
rupon for the sake of Office which has been heap
ed with so lavish hand upon Mr.. Van Buren, and
bis friends, should like enquire what AT this
late day, has aroused the " Godike" man to a sense
OF the importance Of Antlmasonic principles Has
ne discovered IN them any more virtue or merit
than they possessed at the time when the lamented
Wlrt stood forth their champion! Was Mr.. Web
ster less wise honest then, than he is now, or was
1t because he had not then been started as candi-
dae Tor the presidency Again-Wby does the
" Godhkc" man condescend to notice at this dov
a communication from the Antimasons of a single
county in another STATE when he has neglected to
houce IN any way similar communication received
by him, some time snce from the Antimasonic
party of the whole of his own State? Was it be-
cause he wanted time to reflect upon the subject
ana give 1t more thorough Investigation, or was it
because he had discovered that the Antimasons of
Pennsylvania were on the look out for a candidate
Tor the presidency Ifhen after all the pains taken
to lay his plummet to the Antimasonie rule he should
discover himself overlooked and the prize suutched
from hls grasp by old North Bend without even IA
tenth of the humiliation submitted to for the pur-
pose he may use with great propricty the words
once used by Cardinal Wolscy.
