Letter rson the Hon. Daniel Webster.
Mr.. Webster, month since, received letter,
approaching his late public conduct, from the COM
vicinity, in the State of New Hampshire, to which
he has written the following reply:-
WASHING TON, Sept Fl, 1850.
j have received your letter OF last month"; ex-
pressing your appreciation Of my public political
conduct, and especially of my efforts in Congre 80,
TO settle questions, which have long agitated the
country end disturbed its peace. Happily, gentle
men. those questions are now, trust, disposed of,
and better prospects open upon the country. The
thfty-one American States, stretch over vast ex-
tent of country, running through several degrees
retes of soil, climate, institutions, habits and pur
suits yet over all the Union and the constitution
still stand, everywhere giving protection and Sc
curly, and everywhere cherished at the present
moment, with general and warm patriotic regard
The interests OF the different parts of the country
though various, are not opposite flowing indeed
in divers channels, but all contributing to swell
the great tide of national prosperity. Under the
operation OF the constitution, we have n been
for sixty years, free and happy; civil and religious
liberty have stood firm and mistaken popular edu-
cation has received new impulse and wider
spre ad; and moral ard religious instruction has
been characteristic OF our age agriculture, COM
merce and manufactures, have been steadily en-
couraged and sustained; and under the bless.
ing OF Providence, general competency and
tisfactory means OF living, have everywhere
rewarded the efforts Of labor and industry and in
the meantime, gentlemen, the country has attained
TO such degree Of honor and rebown, that every
patriotic man, in addition to his own individual
means OF enjoyment, derives a positive pleasure
from participating in the reputation of his country.
OF what other country upon earth can this be said
OF go much truth Who, then, would undermine
this Union ! Who would raise his hand against
this constitution Who would scoF at those poll
tical and social blessings, which Providence has
never before eeen tit to vouchsafe, in such abun-
dance, 10 any community OF men Selflove, our
hopes for the future, national pride, and gratitude TO
God, all conspire to prompt US to embrace these IN
stutions of native land with all the affections Of
our hearts, and to defend them with all the strength
of our hands. In critical hour, and not without
and freed my conscience to its very depths in pub
lie efforts to maintain them, limited only by the
measure of my ability and now that these efforts
are regarded as having contributed something to
the adjustment OF dangerous controversies, and
TO the establishment OF peace and harmony
among fellow citizens and brothers, desire no
reward but the cheering voice OF all good men,
and the APPRECIATION Of my an conscience. And
now, friends and neighbors, / could pour ont my
heat in tenderness Of feeling, for the afec-
iiouate letter which comes from you. Approving
voices have been heard from other quarters; other
commendstions have reached me, high enough
and warm enough TO demand, as they have re-
ceived, my most grateful acknowl Judgements and
regard. But yours comes from home II comes
from those whom have known, and who have
known me, from my birth. 1t 10 like the love Of
family circle its infiuenc fall upon my heart as
the dew of Hcrnon. Those OF you who are tie
most advanced in age have known my father, and
my family, and especially that member Of u, whose
premature death inflicted a wound ia my breast
which is yet fresh and bleeding. Some Of you
