LITTER FROM MIR. WEBSTER.

The last Boston Courier contains correspond the Hon. DANIEL. WEBSTER. They respectfully ask that they may use his name before the Ameri- can people, as candidate for the highest office in their gift. He expresses grateful feelings awaken ed by the letter-rnakes some remarks on the office of President-refers to his public conduct for the last thirty years-his opinions on the great ques- tons of interest to the country-the constitutional principles which he has endeavored to maintain and closes as follows:
 elf these principles and these opinions, now not likely to be materially changed, should recommend to further marks of public regard and confidence, I should not withhold myself from compliance with the general will. But have no pretensions of my own to bring forward and trust that no friends of mine would at any time use my name for the pur- pose of preventing harmony among those, whose general political opinions concur. for any cause whatever, but conscientious regard for the good of the country
 It is obvious, gentlemen, that at the present mo- ment the tendency ot opinion among those to be represented in the Convention is generally and strongly set in another direction. I think it my duty therefore, under existing circumstances, to quest those, who may feel preference for me- not to indulge in that preference, nor oppose any obsta- cle to the leading wishes of political friends, to united and cordial efforts for the accomplishment of those wishes.
 The election of next autumn must involve, in general, the same principles, the same questions as belonged to that of 1S4O. The cause,I conceive prosperity, and all its great interests the cause good government true liberty and the preservation and integrity of the Constitution, and none should despair of its success"

 MT. Webster and Mir. Calhoun have both writ ten letters defining their position in the coming Presidential contest, and now we find one in the Globe from Col. Johnson defining his. It is short and explicit enough. The Col. does not withdraw his name from the Baltimore Convention, but holds the field gallantly in competition with Van Buren. He is not quarrelsome, however, but expresses his utmost readiness to take the Vice Presidency, if he cannot get the Presidency, or indeed any place. He is ready to go blindfold and headlong wherev- CT the party pushes him. He says if he gets the nomination for the Presidency he will accept it with thankfulness though with reluctance-if for the Vice Presidency he will take it with gratitude and leasireiffor neither, he does not say he will be thankful pleased, but he promises he will not grumble-Iri6,see.

NORFOLK.

NOhFOLh.
 The Wings of Norfolk formed Clay Club on the lst of February, with the following preamble and resolutions, viz:
 Whereas, by the act of Providence the adminis- traitor of the government of the United States has fallen into treocerOus hands, and by that means the people have been frustrated in their designs of pur- ging the corruptions of our administrations. And whereas another opportunity of redress is soon to be presented to the popular suffrage in the election of successor; and feeling that the interest of the nation points to On,e individual whose long tried integrity, talents and patriotism peculiarly qualify him for the station; therefore
 Resolved, That we associate ourselves as Club, to be denomnated The Young Mems Clay Club of Norfolk,"-to promote the election of HENRY CLAY as President of the United States ReSOlued, That in the long life and eminent pub- lie services of this distinguished statesman have sure guarantee that in his hands our institutions will be safe, our national dignity will be secured, and the best interests of our domestic and foreign l relations promoted and maintained. Resoioed, That as our adversaries are making the most strenuous exertions to perpetuate the mis- 1 chiefs of proAigate government, in the shape of Sa6 Treasury" " War upon the Currency 1 (" .N0n- Distribution" and " Free Trade" we are called upon to use every honorable means to defeat their designs.
 | Resolced, That the Protective Tariff system is indissolubly connected with the permanent pros- | perity of the Manufacturing, Agricultural, and to industry can ony be e nently secured by the triumph of Whig principles Resolued, That we exceedingly regret that ma ny of our former friends and allies should deem it necessary to form 'third party;' thus injuring, as we believe the real interest of the slave by piy ing them over to the tender mercies of the Loco Focos ;-the inevitable consequence of defeating the election of Henry Clay, whose known sympa- thies are identified with those who deooutly wish the extinction of slavery.
 Resoloed, That in view of the approaching po- ltical contest in which we are about to engage, we recognise the necessity of unon in the Whig ranks, and spirit of conciliation, not inconsistent with an efficient support of the great principles for which we contend.
 Resolved, That we cordially approve of the Ticket presented by the New Haven Convention for State Officers, with Roger S. Baldwin at the head; and we will respond to it with our united exertions for its success. u.....

 of "common brown sugar. in the market is about seven and halfcents per pound; so that the Times writer in the first place studiously conceals the a. mount of the present duty and the fact that the same is less than has been usually imposed by con- gross, and then, in order to make out a case, he But it will be said that sugars have risen at any rate, and why does not this furnish ground of complaint against the tariff! To this we answer that if the price of !" common brown sugar. was ever down as low as 5 cents per pound (which we doubD it was owing to the scarcity of money and the wretched state of the currency of the country But now every thing is improving under the benign influence of "the black whig tarif,", and why should not the sugar planter of Louisiana get bet ter prices for his sugar and molasses as we'll as the farmer of the north for his wool, pork beef butter, cheese, &c.i Recollect the tariff passed by ma joriy of only one vote in the House of Representa- tves and one vote also in the Senate, and that Lou siana gave us two votes in the former body and two also in the latter Had it not been for Louis- ana the tariff could not have passed. Hence you see, Farmers of Ltchfeld county! you cannot have your wool and other products sustained unless you are willing to extend the same favor to other sec- tions of the Union. In this way, and in this only, can the prosperity of the whole republic be in a high degree promoted; and though the effect may be to make particular article little higher (the tendency of protective tariff being in the general directly the reverse) yet you will be remunerated Al e.nA Al. k.- all branches of business, and in the increased prices which you will thus obtain for the products o: you. own industry.

He yielded to the earnest so- lcitation, not only of the young men, but of the older ones, and old friends too, and delivered an eloquent and an instructive address on the subject ot the Iarlft' showing how certainly the continu- anoe of our present excellent tariff Is calculated to promote all the great leading interests of the coun- t!ry' AgrlcoltIre, Commerce and Manufactures; and now certainly too the policy of our political ad- es IS calculated to destroy this Tariff not WI ,hstanding the multitude of phases in which they present themselves to us on this important | subject.
