a man to abandon well considered purpose With

the President and new understanding was enter

and there was every appearance Of harmony and
good faith. But underground intrigues were cease

started for Annapolis the 6eod of faction and dsor-

operated upon the jealousy Of the Pre- sident John
M. Clayto~ is there for like purpose. Mr.. Web
ster had received invitations from great and respec-
table bodies Of legislators without distinction o.
party, TO visit and address them. Certain it is that
MIR. Fillmore did not like it, and he took occasion
to let Mr.. Webster kno it, and that, in his OPT
MON, 1t was none too becoming in high public
functionary to quit his post on what sigmatzed
as political tour
Mr. Webster needed little more to disgust him
with the cabinet and his Office and he began seri-
ousy to contemplate resignation This possible
consequence was no sooner known by Mr.. Webster's
enemies In Washington, than the special organs Of
Mr.. Fillmore and Seward, in Washington, New
York. Albany, and other places, began to intimate
that the Secretary Of state might soon have sue
cessor. Ii is equally certain, too that as Mr. Web
ster continued his journey north, sigAs of dseon
tent with him multiplying themselves at
Washing were done BY the administration,
and measures taken by members Of the cabinet,
and the President himsef in diect violation of the
express understanding Mr. Webster had with them
when he left.
Another thing is equally certain. Mr. Fillmore
is now retrograding from the Union ground, and
will not be likely to turn out any more Seward
men. Even the Commissioner of Patents, who was
few weeks ago, absolutely notified of his removal,
and by the advice Of the whole cabinet has mes led
back again int his place, and more secure than he

This is the exact aspect Of the case to-day; but
this aspect will change within few days. The re-
tuin Of Mr.. Webster among us, from Washington,

will be stirred up from kitchen to garnet. Wall street
and the Custom House will be stirred deeper STILL
The signes of the invitation for him to become the
guest Of New York are numbered by thousands
and no drumming up Of troops TO muster the show.
They came up heartily and unbdden, except by the

perhaps the greatest speech Of his life. lie is still

be broader, stronger, holder, greater than he
