chAractss OF which has been SO perverted by Mr.
Dana and Mr, Allen.
It is 10 be presumed that Mr.. Dana saw the
letter, and therefore knew perfectly we'll that
there had not been auy such discreditable BAR
gain az he described, and that the statements he
made about it were not true.
The part which relates to the contract with
Messrs. Corcoran a. Riggs, the Washington
bankers, and to Mr.. Webster, us having re-
ceiyed gift from the very class of men con-
cerned in this contract as the condition of his
taking the Office of Secretary of State" is also
untrue The gift so honorably offered by men
OF high sense Of honor in Boston to Mr.. Web
ster, was not offered To him until many weeks
after no had become Secretary of State. Not
mote than two Of the persons who offered it to
him could in any way be regarded as Of the
class Of bpnkers, or concerned in banking; and
SO far from his position as independence" be-
ing affected by it, as Mr.. Dana declares it was
and il, ! have good reason to believe that Mr.
Webster does not to this day know the name or
position of one of the individuals who have
thus nobly and unoster,tatiously Expressed to
him their gratitude for his patriotic services.
i add below Mr. We'Dster's letter to me, and
my own, that was published with it, so that there
may be no further misstatements about this
matter, unless they proceed from a disposition
wilfully to pervert the facts

BOSTON, Aarch III, 1891.
Mr.. HALE-SIR notwithstanding the charges
against MIR. Webster, of having made pecuuiary
conditions previe us to his accepting the office
of Secretary of State, have fallen to the ground
yet, as rome desire has been expressed by
many persons to know what he wrote to me on
the subject of cabinet appointments, | hand you
for publication the following letter, which is
the only one ever received from him in relation
to the State Department prior to his announce
ment to me that he had accepted that office.
Subsequently to the receipt Of this letter the
simple fact was communicated to me that the
Office had been rendered to him, and nothing
more
am, very respectfully, yours,
FRANKLIN HAVEN.
WASHING TON, Friday morning, July ID, 1850.
My DEAR SIR You will hear various
rumors respecting appointments to the cabinet,
but none of them will deserve credit Nothing
is decided as yet The present cabinet have all
rendered their resignation, but they will not be
answered till after the funeral.
The three important departments are State,
Treasury, Interior. have no doubt some man
known to be thoroughly sound on revenue mat
tiers, will be appointed to the Treasury. AS to
the State Department, have no idea who will
have it, although, if the power were with me, |
think | could find man, without going out of
Massachusetts, who has talent enough, and
knowledge enough, but whether he is, at this
moment so fresh in the minds of the people
that his appointment would strike the public
mind favorably, may be a doubt.
Nobody can well be Secretary Of State who
has not fortune unless he be a bachelor. The
Secretary of State is the head Of the admins
tration, and he must have house sometimes to
receive guests in. He is, of course, necessarily
in daily communication with the diplomatic
corps, which believe is twice as numerous now
as it was twenty years ago.
My dear sir, you see the spirit of good will
which is manifesting itself here. This is the
golden opportunity, be assured.
The opposition gentlemen are determined,
all the conservative part of them at least, to give
the Administration fair play. Mr.. Fillmore is
well-intentoned and discreet He will meet
with annoyances, from the rather overbearing
spirit Of certain quarter, but hope he will
stand stiff. If he is successful in forming his
Administration, | verify believe prospect is
before us for better state of things than we
have enjoyed for twenty years.
Yours truly,
Mr.. HAVEN. DANIEL WEBSTER.

THE HUNGARIAN REFUGEES IN ENGLAND
BY copy of the Refugee Circular, received at
New York, we learn that the English govern
ment desired to have the Hungarian refugees,
who for sometime have been in Liverpool, come
to America, but they, preferring to remain, the
people of that city undertook the duty of pro-
viding for them, when the authorities refused
any longer to do so. A house was provided to
lodge them, and they have since been supported
by the operatives, and places found for them,
mainly in Yorkshire and Lancashire Less than
hu dred now remain in Liverpool, and they
are being placed in towns with as little delay as
possible.
