Letter from MIR. Webster.

Several operatives in the Manchester
Mills recently addressed letter to the Hon.
Daniel Webster, requesting him to use his mild
snce to protect them from the crushing and OPP
pressive results of the present tariff. Mr. Web
ster replied as follows:
WARRINGTON, Wednesday, Nov. ", 1851.
Dear Sri have received your letter OF the 9th oil
this month. No man is better satisfied than am
OF the necessity OF such revision of our Revenue
System as shall prevent frauds in importasionS. and
10 do Justice TO the labor OF the country This, IN
my opinion is called for, much by considerations
OF public policy as by what is due TO industrious
operatives. Very respectfully yours.

about his ears, under the instisation of some
very narrow bigots and nativists. One Of the
Aldermen onroe-made motion to rescind
the confirmation of the Office, but got only one
vote, his own-for the motion. The Mayor re-
marked that there was no objection against the
man himself; and then proceeded to rebuke the
contracted. paltry opposition manifested against
the officer, because he was foreigner" Ian

"DooMED TO MAKE BLuNpER!' The Ban
gor Courier and some other whig prints are
calculating considerably, if not more, upon a
blunder, which the democratic party is bound
to make in their nomination for the Presidency.
These are making themselves merry at what
they imagine to be irreparable feuds in the
Democratic party. This is comical delusion,
but one which may prove fatal to the innocent
souls who are subject to it. To base an expec-
tation of success upon the divisions of the ene-
my, is confession of weakness. This is pre-
cisely what the Wing party have ever done
conquest gained by superior prowess, is
what, in their proudest days, they burst not
attempt; but they have always relied on their
characteristic cunning in fomenting divisions
in the Democratic party.

MIR. CLAY has recently written a letter to his
friends in New York, who invited him to at.
tend and address them on the affairs of the
times. He declines the invitation; but expa-
tiates in his reply on the secession question :
the secession of State being in his view equiv
alent to revolutionary disruption of the I'm
ion. On the subject of maintaining the Com
promise" law, he remarks .a.a.
1.-The necessity of maintaining and enforcing
that law, unrepealed and without any modi-
tcaton that would seriously impair its eff
cheney, must be admitted by the impartial iudg-
ment of all candid men. Many of the slave
holding States, and many public meetings of
the people in them. deliberately declaring that
their adherence to the Union depended upon
the preservation of that law, and that its aban-
donment would be the signal of the dissolution
of the Union. / know that the aboliiionists
(some of whom openly avow desire to pro-
duce this calamitous evenly and their partsans
deny and deride the existence of any such dan
ger but men ,cho ,ciN not oerceire and own It,
must be blind TO the signs of the times to the Sec
tional strife which has unhappily arisen, to the
embttered feelings which have been excited,
as ,oeH as the solemn resolutions of deli5eratiue
assemblies, unanimously adopted Their disre-
gard of the danger, am apprehensive, pro-
ceeds more from their desire to continue agita-
ton, which ausments it, than from their love
of the Union ITSELF
This is strong hint to the Seward Wings

aged for the Presidency. and supposed to speak
to them without motives of ambition.

great interest in this country must at last de-
pend upon the Democratic party. That party
which was denounced as the destroyer of trade
when it erected the Independent Treasury-as
the assaiiant of credit when it crushed the

dustry when it established the liberal revenue
law of lS46-has been time and again vindica-
ted by the triumphant issue which has followed

mouth) in describing the two great parties in
our country, and defining their principles,
said
"There always had been and always must be
one party in favor of strong national govern
mcnt. and arbitrary, consolidated rule while
another party always feared and resisted any
encroachmenl on the rights of the States or Of

This is the permanent, ineffaceable difference
between the Wing party and its natural oppo-
site the Democratic party. The Wings so fol

include the mass as tenants in common in the

out the Wings as false to the institutions of an
American Republic:
