DlpteI Webster.

The following reference to Daniel Webster
severe in its trulhuness we cut from the mid
die of a letter, written ~ frederick Douglass
once a slave, and published in his paper, the
North Star We copy it for two fold reason
because it is n fine specimen of composition,
which few of our recognized professional authors
can surpass, and because of the great moral
which it is calculated to impress upon the heart
of the thoughtful reader How sad history Of
great intellect gone wrong, Of towering am
bni0H evofror. thvcrtal n is most earnest pnr-
pose, have we in the lie Of Daniel Webster =
His history and his eptaph may be written, at
length, in single sentence-'IE MIGHT HAVE
BEEN But to the exit act:
"Thile here, had an opportunity Of hearing
few remarks from that once great, but now fall
en- man, DmieI Webster. lie was in Lynn for
the purpose OF gaining the votes of the freemen
of that city for the stakeholder, Zachary Taylor.
Mr.. Webster's appearance made me sad, In
gazing upon him, forgot his words in the con-
temptation of himself A hundtr-Shioered COL
ann stood before me- There was Just enough Of
the fine chiscIing left to proclaim the wonderful
skill of the artist But what a wreck what a
magnificent ruin The outline of his former
greatness might be traced over the vast area oc
his brow while through the windows Of his soul
might he seen large masses of his giant power
fast Wondering to decay. He has arlayed him
self against God, and is broken, He has tihed
with his moral sense and destroyed his con-
science Once he was the servant OF Freedom;
now he is the servant Of slavery. His words 90
one road, while his convictions 90 another; aud
as a house divided against itself must fall, So
D,ninl v'rahstnr has fallen His ore ate service
t. mankind will be found in the loud warning
which his ruin proclams as liable to all who
follow his dangerous example. His case shows
that intellect, however eHalted-that friends,
however Aunerous-thlt wealth, however alum
d,nt, an never fill up the chasm of want of

in canoes, the balance Of twenty miles Is
made on mules-lhe whole journey takes

seriousness aside, and makes one alInps,
forget that an important subject is demand.
ing your attention. | shall not, therefore.
refer TO what such o road might or miab,
not accomplish, but to the Charter for a
Road from Charlotte connecting with the
Raleigh and Castor Road here. That
Charter would never get three fifibs of
stock subscribed, provided even. that ac.
cordins TO the Governors suggestion, t,so
fiiths were taken by tho State. Such a
scheme then should not be thought of, in
composition with tho Charlotte aud Dan.
vile project. Objection SO far as i, is in.
volved, Is a. imPotent as it is presumplu.
Gus.
Much importance. perhaps more than to
oil others, Is attached 10 this objection.
A Road should not run North and Sou.h
through the State, "depleting il" as has been
said by some writer, :" ia both lis right and
lett arm /" but should run from the West
to the East, having its ,erminous al New.
bern, Beaufort or Wilmington. IT it we're
at all practicable to build such Road, if
there were any feasibility in the scheme,
II would do 10 consider the plan as an oh.
lection TO the other route. having some
shade of plausibility in its favor but such
a scheme is entirely impracticablc
Charter for that Road, would never attract
sufficient subscription Of stock to the priv.
,lcgcs IL conferred, to build il. A nero
Utopia in Imagination is not what the
Yves. wants an outlet, is what the Yves.
tern people, or rather their necessities, are
clamoilng for, and if the central Road, rs
this scheme is called, could not be built,
why offer such IN objection 10 a scheme
which uOtM afford them what they de.
sire.
To sum up. Ii would be figranily un.
just and partial to refuse The Charlotte and
Danville Charter; and the objections 10 il
are, (the most reasonable Of them, ihco,ct.
zeal, supposItliious, or connected with some
lmpracticabili,y.
II is not altogether doubtful that arcu.
men,s more impressive than any can ciier,
have been silently and with the elrqurnce
OF truth and justice, suggesting themselves
TO you in favor Of the graut Of the Char.
ter in question.
In another number, unless an carly pas.
sage OF an act granting this Charter, shall
render il Of no avail, an attempt will be
made TO shcw from The highest authority,
that there is n sunrl somewhere. and that
bu, for thai, there would be no difficulty 10
obtaining Charter.
