MIR. Webster.

An article in the Union contains a summary
of the late legislation of Congress. Having
condemned the WING administration for many
obnoxious measures, and bestowed upon the Lo-
cofocos an exclusive commentator for ability
and patriotism, we add the nearest approach to
a compliment which it contains TO any Wing:
''NIr Webster had made great speech-a great
speech for compromise and although
cit was filed with illiberal and unfoundcd state
ments calculated to turn away from him an anti
cipated flood Of abolition indignation That
speech was delivered carly in March. Finally,
before the struggle determined he lett hls
post, and avoided the issue he had made, by ac-
cepting place in the Cabinet of Mr. Fillmorc-a
position which could confer upon him compare
lively little honor, and give him no emolument."
We do not complain that the services Of Mr..
WEBSTER should be rewarded by 4 compli-
ment cancelled by an imputation Of unworthy
motives. We presume the expectation of the
ephemeraI approval Of the partisan press had
little influence in determining him 10 take that
stand for the Union which has made his patriot
ism Immortal He knew that his country re
auired the sacrifice, and threw himself into the

Union should close over his own political for
tunes. How could the reward Of an applause
which could not endure beyond its own echo
have allured one whose fame has been written
in the imperishable records of his country s
glory! Like some noble shaft of his own ma
tive granite, unsoitened by the sunshine of adu-
lation and unscathed by the storm Of censure,
he regards with the same calm unconcen the
rawlings of a piebald convention or the detrac-
tons of the sole organ Of q powerful party. We
place, however, III opposition with the cold
commentator of the Union, the more liberal
testimonial of Mr.. CAss:
Your own Senator Dickinson, (applause,) who
deserves every thing and Mr.. Foote, and that noble
man Henry Clay, tremendous applause,) and that
great man Daniel Webster, Continued applause,)

plain that the American politicians in favor Of
an increased duty upon British manufactures

who favor its reduction are it's friends. In cit

on board the Ma CARA steamer, shortly after leav-

side OF Rochester, and mile and halffrom shore

OF brooms and cotton bales, which were piled up
between decks. BY the exerton Of the men these
were removed, but the fire was not there Thew

do, and got into about nine feet of water. Passen-
gers and men were, however, excrting themselves
TO get the fire under, and with very excellent fire

hurricane deck, where, with constant supply of
water from the engine. tank they succeeded in sub

arrived at the wharf on Saturday evening about

acted as an opposing force, tended very much to
