duties, and had served one month. when
it pleased our oVer-ruliBg Providence
to call MIN hence And he would ask,
was he not entitled 10 the same justice
that was meted out to others? his friends
asked no more. The appropriation was
! mol only just, but the government lost
nothing by it. When the President
died the Vice President succeeded eK-
oficio 10 the Presidency, and conse-
quently we had no Vice President 10
pay; then take the salary Of Vice Presi
dent Tor four years from the appropria-
ton made to the widow Of the late Pre-
sldent, and aIso',he time he served as
President, and that will be the loss the
nation has sustained.
He discIaimed any hostility TO Gener-
al Jackson 10 the vote he was about to
give. II the foe was wrongfully i'm
posed, it ought to bs refunded. Bot he
imagined the Ohio Legislature was not
the proper tribunal to reverse the deci-
sion Of a high Judicial Court OF the Uni
ted States. Whether the imposition Of
the fine was right or wrong, we have
not The means Of knowing, nor could we
have, before the close Of the present
session. He would 90 as far as any
other TO do justice TO General Jackson
And il Senator'S would get up petition,
he would cheerculy sign it, praying
Congress to investigate that matter, and
refund him the fine, if it was wrongful"
ly imposed. But to instruct Congress
TO do any act, was more than he believed
he had power to do, as the humble re-
preventative of the people. And acting
under the iDjunctons Of conscience, he
felt bound to record his vote against
the resolution, and let the Senator who
feels SO much anxiety for the pOssago Of
the resolution, 60 home and meet his
constituents, paIlid and borne down TO
the very earth, by the burthens OF taxa
tlon such foolish and useless legislation
as this has imposed Upon thom. And
ask them whether he had better attend
to the duties Of his proper capacity, or
frilter away his time, and the time Of
the Senate, in attempting 10 do what no
power can do, save the Congress of the
United States. And then follow out the
instruction Of his constituents, aud he
too would be bound 10 record his vote
in the negative.

those who we're best acquainted with his
full and correct Information on questions
of public Interest, and his ability TO ex-
plain and defend his own views.
His "Skeiches of American Policy y
published in 1884, his writings in favor Of
The Federal Constitution. in defence Of
Washington, proclamation of neptriali-
ty, and of the treaty negotiated with Great
Britain'by Mr., Jay, had great influence
on public opinion and were highly appre-
ciated. Various other topics during the
same period were publicly discussed by
him. In 1893, he commenced daily pa
per in New York, which is now called the
Commercial Advertiser and New York
Spectator.
Mr.. Webster removed 10 New Heaven
in 1898, and in 1907 entered OH the great
business of his life, the compiling Of a new
and complete Dictionary of the English
Language. This work he prosecuted
amidst various difficulties and discourage
ments, and published the first edition of it
in 1928. In the preparation of this Die
,ionary he was led to investigate to a
great extent the subject of etymo!ogy,
and the relation. OF various languages to
each other. This Dictionary has been
more favorably received, than, as is be-
lieved, the author ever anticipated His
other publications are too numerous 10 be
particularly mentioned here. DR.. Web

He strongly loved his country, and was
patriot of the Washington school. He

For the last forty years Of his life, though
he had been long before diligent student,
he devoted his time 10 literary pursuits
with an ardor rarely seen in any country,
and especially in this. His study was his
home; his books and pen his constant COM
panions; and his knowledge to the last
constantly on the increase. When such
man is taken from life "nuch-learning
dleth with him."
DR.. Webster had enjoyed remarkably
vigorous health till within few days of
his death. On Monday of last week he
was slightly unweIl, but no alarm was felt
by his family. His disorder, however,
soon took the form of pleurisy, and he
gradually sank under the attack, till at the
time above mentioned, in the full possess
sion OF his reasons, he died with entire
composure and resignation.

PROTECTION.


There are many curious features in the
disquisitions which appear inthe public
Journals, on the subjects which occupy the
attention of their conductors and especi-
ally is this case in regard TO political econ
omy. II is but two or three years since
the wing journalists found our language
ouile too barren of words, with witch pro-
perlys to celebrate the glories of the
"Credit System.'. That system, then,
was the glory ofthe world in the eyes OF
whig: and in no way could you excite the
ire OF that class Of politicians so readily, as
10 question its excellence, or secure TO
yourself very uncomfortable share of no
very choice invective. These gloryings
have passed away. The system ullimat.
ed in a hastily conceived, and ill-adjus,ed
Bankrupt law, which has also been num-
bered with things that were. Read the
wbig journals now, and you will search in
vain for the praises of the past in favor OF
the Credit System. Time, experience,
vet bitterly remembered, have exploded
the humbug; and it's worshippers have set
up other idols, before whose shrines they
nowpay that homage formerly bestowed
elsewhere. Prominent among the idols
now in favor with the wing party, is "Pro.
tection.' This, with them, is ladened
with benefits for the nation, is the friend
ofcapital, and the stay and support OLA
Dor. It possesses, in their estimation, the
power to give high wages to labor--to the
farmer, for his products; at the same time
furnishing, TO both, the manufactured arti-
Giles at rates remarkably low. In other
words; twill enable tho capitalist 10 pay
high for every thing, and sell at almost
nothing, and still make money! So po-
tent is ist power, in this respect, that it
can enable the manufacturer TO even un.
dersel the pauper labor of Europe, while
paving three-fold more for the labor and
raw material necessary TO carry on his
business. Low prices are presumed TO be
the great malady Of the day; yet. "Protec-
ton" claims the ability to make them
high on one side, and low on the other, at
the same moment. Ifprotection does not
advance the price of labor, one gifts high
est claims to public favor is destroyed. II
it does this, will not the price of the manu-
featured article be increased in correspon-
ding ratio? Ifso, the other half of IFS pre-.
tension is proved iallacious. Is it true,
that, since the imposition ola high tariff,
the wages ofthe operatives have increas.
ed? We answer, No. The reverse has
been the case; hence the strikes from
various quarters, with which the papers
occasionally TEEN. We believe these pre-
tensions Of protection" are baseless, as
were those Of the "credit SYSTEM" and
that the timc is not distant, when they will
be SO regarded. We have no objections 10
tariff, ample for wants of the Govern
ment, with such discrimination as is not
inconsistent with that object; but we do
object to setting up pretcnsions Tor pro-
lection, which i. is wholly incompetent TO
