The A,,aek "a NJ M.h.,sr.

a very general sentiment Of disgust
seems to Be excited towards Mr. Allen, sf
Massachusetts, for his base attack on Mr.
Webster in the United States House Of
Representatives on the 10Th inst. The
charge brought against Mr. Webster Is
simply this; that certain amount of mon
ey was raised in New York and Boston
to induce him 10 !orego the care OF his pri-
vate affairs so far as 10 accept the Secre-
taryship Of State from Mr. Fillmore. A.
suming the truth or this transaction, Mr.
Allen denounces it as treason and cor
ruption." s.a.s. ..sss- IN .a, j. ,..s..a .m.sst,
We have heard vague runors. Of some
such negotiation as that referred 10 By
Mr. Allen. Ofthis truth we know snd
care nothing. Any man OF common sense
will see that such transaction may have
taken place, without involving Mr. Web
ster, in the slightest degree, in any sus-
picion Of wrong or impropriesy. k'is well
known, that considerable sums of money
were raised for The relief Of General Hyr-
rison at the time he accepted the Presi-
dency. Was be therefore charged win
corruption and treason?" There was 10
man fool or knave enough TO insinuate such
an intimation. And yet the Transaction
charged against Mr. Webster is precisely
parallelto that, which as notorious.in the
case Of Gen. Harrison. tsss y ~
What if on vague report that Mr. Al
len had been guilty OF withholding money
from his clients, some one should public-
" charge him with embezzlement, and de-
nounce him as corrupt man in his pecu-
mary relations; and it should turn out. on
investigation, that he had done nothing in
consistent with professional integrity
would not he and his friends. with reason
feel wounded and indignant? The fact
might have . prima facie show Of truth;
and yet the withholding Of funds belong.
ing to his clients might be fully justiiable
and proper under the circumstances. The
assertion that Mr. Webster has been gull
ty Of corruption and treason" because
he may have accepted Of pecuniary aid %
enable him TO serve his country as Secre-
tary Of State, is far more groundiess and
absurd than would be the imrnaginsry in
stance cited against Mr. Allen.
1t will be seen from our telegrsphic re-
port that some further gossip on the sub
ject Of this charge against Mr. Webster ll.s
appeared in one of the New York papers.
1t amounts to nothing.-fB Boston Tran.

VERAcIrY or LAwYERs.--A rather un-
usually astounding piece of cool impu-
dence occurred recently in one Of cur
Equity Courts. One counsel, knowing
that the Judge was not likely 10 look up
the case, cited an imaginary suit. Up
jumped his opponent with confident de-
nial of the law established Ly the said
case, ''for," said he, Il happened 10 be in

Mr. Rnatsul In the Senate.

The Washington Union Of Feb. 9th
says: We confess we were somewhae
surprised to find Mr. Rantoul in his seat
in the Senate on Saturday. We had been
led to hope that the statement contained In
the Springfield papers few days sgo
that Mr. Rantoul was no party 10 the CO.
alition in Massachusetts, and would not
contribute TO carry it out by accepting the
office, was well-founded: but il seems that
such is not the fact. He has taken his
seat; and friend Of his suggested that, -
he was no direct party, he can accept the
office without sanctioning the means
whereby il was obtained. This Is shallow
pretext. Casuistry itself cannot deny that
his election was part ofthe consideration
for the election Of Sumner; and BY accept
ing he not only confirms the coalition, but
redeems the pledge TO enforce il. Mr.
Rantonl's talents standing aad democratic
fidelity had inspired the belief that be
would spurn this nine days bsubls with
disdain. We hope he will yet explicitly
state his reasons and motives, and prompl. !.
" resign. Some who are disposed 10
view his conduct in the most liberal sense
are OF the opinion that he will take his
course. The Office reflects no honor up
on hint is a dishonor 10 the Senate that
he should fill it. No new member was
ever more coldly received by his broth
er senators, and he could not help feeling
that his "sitnation did not correspond with
his intentions" We invoke him, as he
respects his own character and the opinion
Of the democratic party, to retire from
place which can as little ensure to his own
interest as 10 the glory OF his county
To lend coIntenance in any manner wheah-
er directly or indirectly whether by the
direct coalition Of his friends with free Sell
ers or by profiing from the fruits Of fhst un-
holy cornbination--is TO sanction the most
mischievous element Of discord and con-
fusion which can stack the stability Of
the Union itself. II Is sufficiently clear
that the free soilers would moi have elect
ed him for the mere fragment Of term, If
they had not calulated upon the votes of
Mr. Rantoul's friends being given 10 Mr.
Sumner for the whole term Of SIX years.

Ten years ago, ten years ago, 4
Life was to us fairy scene, ~"
And the keen blasts of worldly voc
Had sered not then its pathway green;
Youth and its thousand dreams were ours,-
FeeHngs we ne'er can know again.
Unwithered hopes, unwasted powers;
And frames unworn by mortal pain;
Such was the bright the genial flow,
OF life with us-ten years ago!
Time has not blanched single hair
That cluster round thy forehead now;
Nor hath the cankcring touch of care
Left even one turrow on thy brow.
Thine eyes are bright as when we met
In love's deep truth, in early years;
The rosy cheek is blooming yet,
Though sometimes stained by secret tears;
But where, oh, where's the spirits glow
That shone through all-ten years ago!
I, too, am changed, scarce know why;
feel each tagging pulse decay,
And youth, and health, and visions high
Melt like wreath Of snow away;
Time cannot sure have wrought the ill; #E@
Though worn in this worlds sickening strife
In soul and form,-I linger still
In the first summer month of life;
Yet journey on my path below
Oh, how unlike-ten years agOl
But look not thus would not give
The wreck of hopes that thou must share 4
To bid those joyous hours revive,
Wncn all 8TOunu me seemed SO ia1f
We've wandered on in sunny weather,
When winds were low and flowers in bloom,
And hand in hand have kept together, es
And still will keep 'mid storm and gloom;
Endeared by ties we could not know. .#
When life was young-ten years ago.
Has fortune frowncda Her frowns were vain,
For hearts like ours she could not chill;
Have friends proved false? Their love might wane
But ours grew fonder, ti-mer stint

Steadfast in calms, in tempests tried,
In concert still our fate we'n brave,
