MR.. WEBSTER ATHOME.

The Wing Members of the Massachusetts Leg.
slature held meeting in the State House on
Monday-Hon. d. p. King, President of the Sen
ate, in the chair, Mr. Winthrop, Speaker of the
House, introduced Mr. Webster to the Meeting
The Daily Advertiser says
The President then addressed Mr. Webster, con
uratuated him on his safe return from his visit to
Enrope. and expressed the great interest with
which Mr. Wobster's travels there had been OBJ
served by his friends at home.
In reply, Mr. Webster addressed the meeting in
a very eloquent manner for more than an hour
We can only give brief sketch of his remarks
He expressed the greatest qualification at the re-
ception he had met with on his return from his
tour, and said that he could not too strongly pub
lcly repeat his thanks for the kindness which had
been shown him abroad.
After short allusion to his interest in the ogri-
cuui al improvements Of the Mother Country
Mr. W. spoke OF the financial changes which had
transpired since he left America He traced the
changes of commercial embarrassment from 1888
to the present time, he dwell on the evils of the
present state of the currency, and SAID that the fl
nancial plan proposed by the general government
offered no allev Walton To offer some rellcf, how
ever tho duty of the governments las the States
had surrendered powers 10 for that very purpose.
He touched on the imprac.icabillty of Il whole me-
tallic currency in country and under govern
ment like ours he exhibited Il close conneXlon be-
tween the different branches of domestic industry,
and having thus shown the vast importance Of
measure of relief, he stated that he belle, eG
me nrst step shouid DC the creation Oh hallonai
institution, not precisely like the old national bank
for circumstances were changed but interested,
perhaps in the commercial dealings of the country,
an institution of issue rather than deposit, nor
acting for profits but solely for the regulation ofthe
currency.
After abiding briefly to the tariff, Mr. w. spoke
of the Harrisburg convention nomination. lie
mentioned Gen. Harrison IN high terms, and ex.
pressed his perfect willingness cordially to support
him
Gen. Harrison had been known to him for a
number of years. lie had served with him both
in the House and the Senate, and could testify to
his worth, his integrity, his capacity, and to his
fed that nothing but guilty negligence on the part
Of his friends could prevent him from being the
alext President

Soon, the large Hall was filled with warm, hearted
freemen, and Major Rowland, one OF the brave
men who fought with Harrison at the Ihnmes' was
called to the Chair, and Messrs' pesnoyerS, Stew

after u neatly detailing the proceedings and results

He was followed by Col Brooks, one of the Vice
Presidents, and Of the Kentucky Volunteers, who
spoke briefly, but forcibly and eIoquenty, and, in
recital Of the deeds of the brave men who fought
under HARRISON at Tippecanoe, Fort Megs and
the Thames, was listened to with profound inter.
est and attention
Other gentlemen addressed the assemby-patri-
