REMARKS OF DANIEL WEBTSER.

Mr.. WEBSTER closed some remarks in
reply to the TRADES of Mr. Bradbury and
others, concerning removals from office, as
follows:
l feel bound in duty to say, that so far
As | know, III the part of the country with
which | am most acquainted. | have heard
IF less complaint Of unfit removals from
Office, or improper removals from office,
under this Administration, than has oc-
Cured under any Administration coming
aewly into power within my recollection
[ cannot speak for the whole country; but
[ can speak pretty confidently of that part
Of the country in which [ reside and
believe the remark is true of all parties
there, taken as a whole, and in the aggre-
gate My opinion certainly Is that the
present Chief Magistrate of the United
States has in his temper and character
nothing unkind or proscriptive | believe
so far, he has borne his faculties meekly.
He IS of calm temperament And he
wishes evil to nobody. But at the same
time he has frmness and decision enough.
when he perceives what he thinks to be
he line of Lis duty, to travel it without
fear of consequences. As | believe him
to act in this spirit, and with this spirit.
and with the purpose, I shall so long as
MS measures appear to me to be condu-
Give to the welfare of the country, give
them my cordial support.

thas large nomber Of persons were burned or

that near one hundred We're lost, while by way

BosTUN, June II.
The application for writ of error in the
case of Prof. Webster came be ore full bench
of the Supreme Court this morning. The case
was argued for DR.. Webster by c. B. Good
rich; the points raised were that the Supreme
Court had no jurisdic ion in the case, and had
no right to try it; that neither judgement nor
sentance were in accordance with statue !:
that no record of the ordinary Municipal Court
appears that legal sentence of the indictment
does not appear TO have been made; that the
sentence was not in accordance with the stat
ute; i" that said Webster should be taken
from hence he came, and thence to place of
execution, which is in It's precints"-the Mu-
icipal Court not having the proper primary
proceeding in the csse; the Supreme Court
had no acquired jurisdictions; the Supreme
Court had not been furnished with the record
of the Municipal Court upon the indictment.
The argu ement IS now proceeding.

Mr.. Clay. The Senator ON Missouri ha
truly said shat ours was a great, prosperous

trouble had arisen, which is now under con-
sideration. A short time ince the South was
threatened with the Wilmot PrQviso. and vet
when project was offered to arrest that meas
ure and settle the whole question, It met with
most hostility from gentlemen representing
the South. On the other hand, certain Sena-
tors from the North and West opposed to it
just as heartily. AS an abandonment Of unin-
portant considerations, if he had doubt of
the justice of the scheme before this meeting
of extremes against it, it would have removed
it.
