IL We did not intend in anything we said last
week, to imply that Mr.. Webster wrote Ell
Their of the articles in the Democrat, abusing us.
We kno,o who wrote them. We did not in
tend to misrepresent Mr.. Webster's position on
the fugitive slave law,
We thought that we understood his position,
as we have heard him repeatedly upon that ques-
ton. We will never do him or anybody else in
justice knowingly-and if we dc inadvertently,
we will make such reparaon as is becoming and
proper.

cINFLuENcE OF MUSIC.

There is a strange, unaccountable, and
dream like beauty in music, which can SUBJ
due the proudest spirit, and gliding into the
hush of the heart will nestle there sitting
its most tremulous throbbings, and filing it
with the calm, peaceful memories of the Gar
long ago.
All tribes, in all times, have owned the
spell, from the time when Pan first taught the
the Thracian shepherd to carve his love notes
in the invisible air, and fill the summer nights
with softest, sweetest flute music, down to the
present moment. 1t is the universal Ian
guage fall. and awakening strange pulsa-
tions even in the most obdurate heart Most
of us have experienced the luxury of tears,
when listening to an old ballad We know
an old man, Who having led long career of
vice and crime. was at length banished from
the country; and who while undergoing his
period of Punishment amidst the wilds and
jungles of distant land, heard in the sum-
mcr eventide, q sweet voice, singing in his
