DANIEL WEBSTER;

Nor may pass over in silence rep
resentative from New Hampshire, who
has almost obliterated all memory Of that
distinction by the superior fame he has at
tanned as Senator from Massachusetts,.
Though then but in the bud Of his political
life, and hardly conscious, perhaps, of his
own extraordinary power, he gave prom
Use of the greatness he has since achieved.
The same vigor Of thought; the same
force Of expression; the short sentences;
tho calm, collected manner; the air OF
solemn dignity; the deep, sepulchraI, un.
imprisoned voice; all have been devel.
Oped only, not changed, even TO the in.
tense bitterness of his frigid irony. The
piercing GOODNESS OF his sarcasms was in
deed peculiar 10 him: they seemed to be
emanations from the spirit of the icy
ocean. Nothing could be at once so nov
ell and SO powerful lit was frozen mercu-
ry, becoming as causiic as red hot from
