webster,s Speech on Story.

On Saturday we mentioned that Mt
meeting Of the Suffolk Bar held on
Friday morning. DANIEL WEBSTER
delivered a short eulogy on the late
jnstice STORY. We find the following
sketch of his remarks in the Daily Ad-
vertiser Of Saturday. After Chief JUS
tice SHAW had been called 10 the chair
and had announced Judge Story IS
death, Mr.. WEBSTER rose and said:
awe have just heard from you, Sir,
a confirmation of the solemn fact, which
we had previously heard through other
channels of Intelligence, and which has
drawn together the whole Suffolk Bar,
and all connected with the Conrts of
this County, to testify their sense of
the loss which they have sustained. 1t
has drawn from his retirement that VEN
cradle man Judge DAVIS whom we
all respect and honor, who was for ihir-
ty wears the associate of the deceased
upon the Bench. 1t has called here
another Judge, Judge PUTNAM who
has retired from seat upon that Bench
on which you preside, and who was
himself once the instructor in the law,
of him whose loss VIC mourn. The
members of the school, over which he
lately presided. the friends with whom
he was associated in public or in pri-
vate life have some here, to-day. One
sentiment only prevail with us all, a
sense of profound grief. But all ofhim
is not dead. With all our sense OF the
irrepsrable loss, we feel, that he still
lives among us, in his spirit, in his re.
corded wisdom, and in the decisions OF
authority which he has pronounced.
Mr.. Chief Justice-The loss is not
felt alone among this bar. or in the
courts OF this Commonwealth, but is
felt IN every bar and every court in the
Union. 1t is not confined to this coun.
try. nor to this continent. He had a
wider range Of reputation. In the
High Court Of Parliament, in every
Court in Westminster Hall, in every
distinguished judicature in Europe, in
the Courts of Paris, of Berlin, oil Stock
holm and OF St. Petersburg, in the I nj.
versities of Germany, Italy, and Spain,
his authority was received, and all,
