From Daniel Webster.
WAsHINGTON, Dec. 10, IS42.

Gcntlcmcn-lt will not be in my power Ia
be among you on The 22d-but my heart is
always with those who, on that occasion
rcndc. honor TO the virtues Of our pilgrim
fathers.
The simple language Of the venerable his
torlan oi Connecticut l., that our ancestors
came hliher ITO settle on bare cresilon."-
But they acted on principles and set on ex
ample which converted tins bare creation into
as fair all inheritance as has ever fplcn TO the
lot Of man. Providence discipllpes men for
the tasks which they are called on TO per
form--and The difficulties which these emi-
grants encountered were hardly more than
were necessary to give them the f9aressness,
Of purpose and hardhood Of character which
were demanded by their situation.
For all their tolls they were rewarded by
their success, by the sense Of duty well per-
formed, and by the happy consciousness
that they had been made the instruments by
which God bad introduced civilization and
Christianity into new world.
Happy founders OF n new society For
tunate benefaclors Of succeeding times -
May all who enjoy the blessings secured by
their efforts cherish their memories and iml-
tate their virtues!

Register your Names!

We stated last week, in a part
of our edition, that Saturday
next was the last day for register
ing under the Legal Constitution.
This mistake was corrected in
most of the papers, but lest il
should not be discOvered, and as
a last appeal, we once more call
the attention of every advocate
and supporter of "Law and Or
der" to the fact, that
7o-mor ow. Friday, Dec.
3Oth, is the last day for Regis
tering. Let every man look out
for himself, if he possibly can
but if he cannot, through inabili-
ty, sickness, or any other uncon-
trollable cause, he should, al
once, report himself to the prop
er Ward Committee.
All those who performed mill
tary duty during the past year,
and whose names have been req
istered upon that qualification,
are requested to call at the Town
Clerks Office, on or before to-
morrow night, and see that their
names are correctly registered.
This request is made to guard
against mistakes, as we under
stand some names have been reg
istercd witnont the insertion of
the middle name.
