gratifying and cheering to all the friends of
constitutional liberty, to learn that this dsiin-
guished statesman and patriot, has been pre- |
vailed upon TO abandon his design Of resigning
his seat in the Senate of the U. s. On the /
alst February large meeting, embracing some
OF the leading merchants and lawyers was held |
in the city Of New York, to make arrangements
for receiving him with honor on his arrival /
there, on his way from Washington to Mass. |
Chancellor Kent presided; and a committee
was appointed 10 receive Mr.. Webster and "to |
make known to him the sentiments which the I
meeting in common with the friends Of the !
Union and the Constitution in that city, enter
tain for the services which he has performed
for the country" An account Of his reception
will be found in our paper this week. We
learn from gentleman who was on board the
boat with Mr.. Webster on his arrival at n.
York, that nothing, since the arrival OF La
Fsyetie has exceeded the enthusiasm which
was manifested on the occasion. Broadway
was filed with an admiriug multitude, esti-
mated 10 exceed $4,000 in number. 1t was a
glorious Affair and gives cheering Indications
Tint uue pss15tism is va alive even in New
York, the strong hold Of Jacksonism. The
address Of Mr.. Webster was listened to with
intense interest by more than 600o people.
The Investigating Committee, Of the last
Congress brought to light the following letters.
They are precious documents. 1t seems the
conductors Of this would be pet bank, for the
deposite Of the government funds are all good

ration for Gen. Jackson Is it any wonder
the Jackson-yan Buren, party succeeded, at
the last election, when we consider the i'm
mense patronage Of government which they
welded with so much effecii II is probable
Mr. Van Buren had scarcely majority Of 5000
Of all the votes cast for presidential electors;
. and the highest estimate cannot exceed q, 900.
{ Deduct the 40 600 Office holders votes and he
was in the minority. So the Office holdeTs
elected him.
