Mr.. Webster has been for time absent from his
post at Washington under the plea OF poor health TINS
will do for apparent excuse but he has had strong
political reason Tor keeping out oil the way not TO mention
He anxious TO avoid the Cuba business, which
placed him IN dilemma. In his correspondence with
the British Minister years ago, he had taken the
ground that Americans are not pirates when they go
abroad TO assist people, in Canada, striking for their
liberty and that by the law OF nations they pro-
hibited from doing. He also informed the Mexican
Minister, previously to the annexation OF Texas that
Americans have right 10 20 abroad, (auding the

THE UNION.

The Union Sentiment Gaining strength az the south
1t gratifying to perceive that the late demonstrations
OF public sentiment at the South in the August elections
and IN the Convention election and consequent with.
drawal OF Governor Quitman in Mississippi are making
themselves felt even in South Carolina In proof Of
this. We extract the following paragraph from the
Charleston News:
"The of the Union ticket in Mississippi is

Judgment OF rash temeriy of exaggerated enthusiasm
We deem 1t a very significant fact that a journal of
South Carolina in the position of the "News" should so
frankly concede the triumph of the democratic Union
party in Georgia as result of which doubt is enter
tanned. Such fact furnishes strong assurance that
the South section is resolved to stand by the Union
and that Adjustment OF the sectional controversy upon
which the continuance OF the Union seems TO depend.
The prevalence of this determination among the southern
people is doubtless due in small the firm
ness with which the democratic party of the northern
States has avowed its purpose carry Out its principles
and policy the basis of full and faithful maintenance
of the Compromise.
