Horace MANN AND DANIEL WEE
sTER The enemies of Mr.. Webster
are never weary of misrepresenting the
fact that some of his wealthy personal
friends have occasionally assisted him in
pecunary matters, thing which has
been done from time immemorial to-
wards eminent public men, who have
sacrificed their personal interests to the
public service. 1t was done to Henry
Clay it was done to John c. Calhoun,
and we're it not that nothing escapes
petty malignity, we should suppose that
a matter so purely personal aud credlta-
bic to both parties would not be dragged
into controversy.
Mr.. Mann, vino certainly would not
have descended to such thing, few
years ago, exhibits a sad illustration ol
the effect which politics have upon men
who enter into them late, and without
previous experience. He has been fond
of reproaching Mr.. Webster because
some of his friends have made up to him
in small part the income which he sur.
renders by remaining in public life. |,
appears, however, that Mr.. Mann, wher
Secretary of the Board Of Education o
Massachusetts, received the same klnC
Of assistance. His salary was insuflic
lent, and his services were valuable, ant
some liberal gentlemen, the late Ed
mund Dwight, chiefly, contributed IL
his support. This having been PROVED
upon Mr.. Mann. he has publishes let
ter upon the subject; in which he find
no difficulty in showing that the trans
action was entirely free from corruption
or improperly Of any kind, in fact, tha
it was honorable both TO the donors an,
to the recipient, an evidence at once Il
their lberaliiv and of his desert. Blu
he obslinaiely refuses to see that The cas-
of Mr.. Webster is the same. lie per
sis,s in thinking that it was very wroni
in Mr.. Webster to do what was quit
innocent in himself. He even has tn
bad taste TO refer to the different mode
in which he and Mr.. Webster spent tn
additions which were made in this wa
TO their respective incomes. MIR. Wei

10 so good purpose as he did ! II
thinks that Mr.. Webster entertains to
much, and is anti republican in hi

The Prairie Log Cabin.
BY JOHN J. AUDUBON.

On my return from the Upper Missis>
sippi, | found myself obliged to cross
one of the wide Prairies, which, in tina,
portion of the United States, vary the
appearance ofth country. The wealth.
er was fine, all round me was as fresh
and blooming as if it had Just issued
from the bosom Of nature. My knap>
sack. my gun, and my dog, were all |
had for company. But, although well
moccasined, | moved slowly along, at.
'racted by the brilliancy of the flowers,
and the gambols of the fawns around
'heir dams, to all appearance as thought
less of danger as felt myself.
My march was of long duration; |
saw the sun sinking beneath the horizon
long before | could see any appearance
of woodland, and nothing in the shape
of man had | met with that day. The
track which | followed was only an old
Indian trace, and as darkness overshad>
owed the prairie, felt some desire to
reach at least copse, in which | might
lie down to rest. The night hawks
were skimming over and around me,
attracted by the buzzing wings of the
beetles which form their food, and the
distant howlings Of wolves gave me
some hope that ] should soon arrive al

ment was fast approaching, and that
might have been my last in this world,
had not Providence made preparations
for my rescue. ALL was ready. The
internal hag was advancing slowly, prob
ably contemplating the best way of des-
patching me, whilst her sons should be
engaged with the Indian. was seve-
raj times on the eve of rising and shoot
ing her on the spot but she was not
to be punished thus The door was
suddenly opened, and there entered two
stout travellers, each with long rife
on his shoulder. l bounced upon my
feet, and making them most heartily
welcome, told them how well it was for
me that they should have arrived at that
moment. The tale was told in a min
ute. The drunken sons were secured
and the woman, in spite of her defence
aud vociferations, shared the same fate.
The Indian danced with JOY, and gave
us to understand that, as he could not
sleep for pain, he would watch over us.
You may suppose we slept much less
than we talked. The two strangers
gave me an account of their once hav-
ing been themselves in somewhat sins
liar situation. Day came fair and rosy,
and with it the punishment of our cap
lives.
They were not quite sobcred. Their
feet were unbound, bnt their arms were
securely tied. We marched them into
the woods off the road, and having used
them as Regulators were wont 10 use
such dclinquents, we set fire to the cab
in, gave all the skins and implements to
the young Indian warrior, and proceed
ed, well pleased, towards the settlc>
ments.
During upwards Of twenty-five years,
when my wanderings extended to all
parts of our country, this was the only
time at which my life was in danger
from my fellow creatures. Indeed, so
little is the risk which travellers run in
the United States, that no one born
there ever dreams of any danger to be
encountered on the road and can or
ly account for this occurrence, by sup
posing that the inhabitants of the cabin
were not Americans.
Will you believe, reader, that not
many miles from the place where this
adventure happened, and where, fifteen
years ago, no habitation belong ging to
civilized man was expected, and very
few ever seen, large roads are now laid
out, cultivation has converted the woods
into fertile fields, taverns have been
erected, and much Of what we Ameri-
cans call comfort is to be met with So
fast does improvement proceed in our
abundant and free country.
