DANIEL WEBSTER AND THE
QUAKER.

A drsb. coated gentleman from Rhode Island
once applied 10 Mr. Webster TO come on Ger.
tain day and plead . case Tor him, enquiring
what would be the amount Of the fee. "Why,"
says Danie',"l always liked the Quakers; they
are quiet, peaceabe people, who never 90 to
law u they can help il, and it would be better
for our great country If there we're more such
people in il. think $1,000 will be about RICH,
TOR my fee 10 this case" The Quaker well
nigh tainted when he heard this, but did no,
betray the least emotion. "Frend Webster"
says he, ".hat's a great deal of money; but
may have more causes to plead. Suppose
give thee the $1,000, will thou try the others
lkewisea" "Yes," says DAME; "as / have to
attend the court, will cad in the others il you
so desire, without charging an extra fee." So
down they went 10 the Rhode Island, and Dan .
lel tried the case, and carried il for the Quaker.
Meantime the Quaker had applied 10 all the
folks that had suits in court, and had got some
four or five sutors 10 pay him from $500 to
$500 each for the services of the great Daniel.
"What," said the statesman, when he heard il,
odd you suppose am to be let out by you, like
a horse 70 hirc?" "Friend DAME" replied the
Quaker, "didst thou not undertake 10 plead all
such cases as should have to give thee! II
thou wilt not stand TO thy agreement, neither
will | stand to nine" Daniel laughed out
ready 10 split his sides, at this, and considering
himself firmly pinned, he went good humoredy
to work and plead them all. So the Quaker
made $500 by the operation. M

Love AND ROMANCE following is the
prettiest little romantic story we have met with
for some time. tits told BY Leigh Hunt. the
Poet:
"Thomas a'Becket inherited q romantic turn
of mind frN,n his mother, whose story is sinQu.
lar one. His father. Gilbert a'Becket, a -four.
ishng citizen, had been in his youth soldier in
the Crusadee, and being taken prisoner, became
slave to an Emir. or Saracen prince. BY de-
grees, he obtained The confidence Of his master,
and was admitted to bis company, where he met
person who became more attached to him.
This was the Emir's daughter. Whether by
her means or not, does not appear, tut after
some time he con,rived to escape. The lady.
with loving heart, followed him. Ste knew,
| they say, but two words Of hs language, Lone
don and Gilbert, and by repeating the former,
she obtained passage in a vessel, arrived in
England, and found her trusting way TO the me .
tropolis. She then took 10 her other talisnaa.
and went from street TO street, pronoUnciDg

ever che went, asking. of course, thousand
questions and TO al she had but one answer

Though every street, brought her at last 10 the
one ia which he who had won her heart in sa
very, was living in good condition. The crowd

cognized her, and Gilbert a'Becket took her to
his arms and bridal bed, hs far come princess
and her solitary fond word"

From Mexico BY the steam vessel Angus.
Ia, from Matamoras, which place she left on the
l2.h instant we have received the following
items Of news: !
The Mexican executive advised Congress
that IN his opinion they ought to pay no regard
to the delays stipulated in the trealiet between
that country and The United States, as notice
was given months ago to the American govern.
ment of what might be expected.
Well informed persons, however, believe
that the Mexican government wants money too
much 10 move at present, and only talks of war
IN order to fill their loans. They hope the diff
hcll,ies will be arranged thro the interference
of foreign powers. @
Extract Of a letter to Capt. Get,, of the
steam scar. Augusta, dated Matamoras:
"The papers from Mexico and Monterey by
the mail, bring the following items Of important
newss. On the 22d July, the government com.
municated to Congress declaration Of war a.
gainst the U. States, to take effect as coon as
American troops arrive in Texas-but the gov.
ernment recommends TIA, Congress pass the
bill for loan Of $l5O00,OO0 before the war
bill. II appears that the loan is negotiated, at
least 60 the papers give US to understand.
BY despatch from the Mexican consul at
New Orleans the general commanding at Mat.
amoras is informed that about 1000 American
troops have embarked at N. Orleans for Corpus
Christi aud Dcxar.
In regard to military movements here, we
know positively that all the points on this river

WELL SAID.

The following extract from an article in the
Wisconsin Argus, contains truth that is wor
thy ofnote and preservation. A tree should be
known by ite fruit, and If man processes Dem.
oora,ic principles and practices Wing ones, he
might as well be whig. "a rose by any other
name would smell as sweet" The truth ap.
plies itself to other regions besides Pennsylva-
MA
ave are aware that it may be difficult at
present for Pennsylvania 10 elect to Congress
any but tariff protectionists, but must Demo.
Gratis abandon their principles and suffer democ.
racy forever TO stand still, 10 accommodate the
avarice Of few Iron makers in Pennsy lvania!
But we must have the Democratic vote Of
Penney lvana, says one. But what do we want
of her vote! live must forever be ruled by
wing policy to accommodate Pennsylvania, or
rather her handful Of arlstocracy, her vote, for
aught we can see, may just as well be wing as
democrat. But 10 fact, while her vote is cast
for wing measures, It is a wing vote. whether
wings OF nominal democrats are elected TO car.
~ out these measures.
Can any man define the difference ia sentl
ment between democratic Pennsylvania and
wing Massachusetts upon the absorbing ques.
ton Of the tariff? We hope the time is not far
distan, when an advocate Of tariff will no
more be recognized as democrat, than the
advocate Of monarchy. The idea that what.
ever is advocated by protested democrat, is
as absurd as to suppose that the vilest abuse Of
language mist necessarily be correct grammar
and good rhetoric, because uttered by . man
protesting to be scholar. Democracy is made
up Of immu.able principles, which will never
bend to the mistaken opinions Of those profess

on an intelligent perception Of those principles

Prospects Of The Hrrsst.-The re-
ports which have reached us since our

the harves, in the north, are not of a char
acter to alay the excitement previously

not without reason--that the more back

worse than the south.
From Ireland the complaints in regard

general; even along the West coast,

stated, been discovered To have been al
