Hon. Daniel Webster In New Hampshire.
From the Boston Post, Nov. o.
Mr.. Webster lett Marsbtield some days ago for
his farm al Franklin, the place OF his birth. To ENJOY
the mountain air of New Hampshire. HIS soiourn
al his fathers old house has proved highly benef-
cial 10 his health. Week before last delegation
of his old New Hampshire friends and neighbors,
many of whom were companions of his younger
days, and whom he had not met for years, called
10 pay their respects TO the distinguished states
man TO express their appreciation of his patriotic
course in the Senate at the las session OF Congress
The delegation was composed nearly all of demo-
Gratis, which made IL still more gratifying to Mr..
Webster Among them were the Hon Moses
Norris, L. S. Senator, Jrd.e N. q. Upham. Gen
Joseph Low, Hon Richard H. Aver, Hon Charles
II Peasee, Gen Frank Pierce, Worcester Web
ser, Esq Capt. Paul X. George, late of the army,
and Hon. George w. Nesmith
The party sat down TO regular old fashioned
farmers dinner The most cordial and happy feel
ing prevailed at the festive board fund OF anec-
dole and story went round and in the old man
sion Of Mr.. Webster's father, voices commingled
once which had not been heard in unison tor many
years During the enjoy ment the following senti-
me Mt was offered by the Hon. Richard Ii. Aver -
Our Host-To the genius, patriotism, and cou-
rage which so efectualIy aud onoortunely inter
posed for the preservation of the Union, we tender
our lasting gratitude. Liberty and Union, now
and forever, one and inseparable."
Mr.. Webster acknowledged this tribute Of re-
spect 10 bis worth, and remarked that the present
was the time for eating and drinking, and not for
speech making. The oc cssion was one which had
brought toge Their some of his Oldest friends and
neighbors, whom he was glad to see, one and all.
lie would take an opportunity, however, 10 make a
reply before his guess should dispense
Towards the close of the repast sGsn. Joseph
Low, IN reply to sentiment from Gen Pierce, rose
and said that there was an hour in his existence
which he should ever look sck TO as one whi:h
had given him greater relief and more true hsppi-
ness than any he had ever experienced, and that
was the night when he received by m Ill, the great
Union speech of Daniel Webster, Of the 9TH of
March. He read il that night, and he read it
again and sgain the next morning and democrat
as he was, he felt that bis feelings and his heart
had changed towards MIR. Webs,er-because he
felt that Mr. Webster was not only willing TO, but
be had sacrificed himself for the preservation of the
Union. On going TO town that morning, said Gen.
Low, found that Mr.. Webs'er's speech was the
general topic 0f conversation. friend OF mine
told me, with bitter denunciation, that Mr. Web
ster had been false to the North, aud abandoned
her great principles. | asked him If he had read
tie speech The reply was, he had not. We'll,
said ]. don't condo mn man until you have heard
him. have readthe speech, and do you 90 and read
too and then tell me what you think" He did so,
and meeting him a short time afterwards, said /.
"Wel, what do you think of il now y "Why,"
says he. General, the fact is, Mr., Webster goes
for everybody. He is in favor Of tha North and
he goes tor the South; he Is in favor Of the East and
he goes for the West; and, d-n me, sir il he dent
20 for the whole Union ~ And, continued Gen.
Low, he is now one Of the strongest advocates Of
MIR. Webster's course. The conclusion of these
remarks was greeted with the greatest applause,
when Mr. Webster, eyincing great feeling, rose TO
reply. IL is TO be regretted, ia justice TO Nh Web
ster, that en- imperfect skeleton of his remarks,
from memory, can only be gwen. lie said the
present was not fitting occasion To touch upon
politics. and he should let them alone. He was
glad to see around his table many old friends and
companions Of his younger days, which brought 10
mind many pleasing "reminiscences, and afforded
him ndescribable pleasure.
The allusion 10 his course in The Senate, how
ever, and the appreciation 1t had met with by his
friends present, who had made manifestation Of
their feelings, was such source OF deep gratli.
cation TO him that he could not help reverting TO IT,
This was sufficient to repay him for the ills and
suterings he had gone through, and u mutered
but little at this day whether opinion should sus.
tain him in his course, so ieng as he felt he had
done his duty TO his country and alone for his
country e good lie haa lived the best portion Of
his lfe-ihe past secured to him, and could not be
taken from him He asked for no more He had
no other wish to crafty, for he felt there no
sacrifice TOO great for him 20 m Re In sustaining the
welfare Of his country For six long months, from
the 18th Of March 10 the 9Th Of September, he had
not SLEPT over two hours any one night. Senators
eat in their seats day and night.
Ii was the crsis, and IL was fearful aud terrible
one. No ray Of hope. no CLEAN OF support came
from any one. All looked dark and gloomy--all
were grave and sullep, and no smile Of relief
cheered the hour OF despair He had taken his
resolution, and determined to sacrifice himself for
his country's cause. lie stood forth alone and
unsupported from New England, 20 strike blow
al all hazards, for the preservation Of the Union.
His friend from New-fIampshre senator Norris,
was the first to step forward with hun into the
breach, and he would here observe, that towards
those who acted with him, or rather towards those
be acted with-the Senator from Michigan, Mr..
Csss. the Senator from Indiana, Mr.. Bright, the
Senator from Illinois, Mr. Douglass. the Senator
from Mississippi, Mr.. Feote, md others-he
could never again entertain that feeling OF
political opposition which he had formerly felt.
The ancient fsud was at an end, and here
after he should greet those gentlemen with feel
ngs Of the most sincere esteem and warmest
friendship II was the same feeling which men
have who have fought eide b. side together
Though some bloody combat. Aiter the battle s
over they become forever endeaSel TO each other,
If only for the common dangers and hardshps they
passed through.
In sustaining the position he had taken, he felt
he was but maintaining the laws and the consttu-
ton, guarding the rights Of the south, and advo-
eating the harmony Of the North, alone and only
for the sake OF the preservation of the Union. He
forgot everything but his countryl for his country
only, and her salvation, was upPermOst in his
heart.
Mr. Webster, in conclusion, offered the folio wing
toast -
"Our country-May its Union continue perpetual
and everlasting, for when Il shall become divided,
il will NO longer be my country"
MIR. Webster spoke with deep and heartfelt
emotion, and sat down amidst burst Of applause,
which greeted him throsRh out his speech
Senator Norris replied to Mr.. Webster in a speech
OF great eloquence and deep feeling, producing
marked impression on all present.
