be ostracised, branded, allowed no part in pre-
pairing the legislative business Of the country, and
no equal opportunity, consequently, of represent
ing their constituents in congress
It has ever been the courtesy aud custom Of
all our legislative bodies, to regard with favor,
and promote to honorable posts, the prominent
candidates of defeated parties; but here they
have not only neglected to do this by the presi'
Dental candidate of the Free Democracy, but
scornfully rejected hun from all posts, and that
TOO in manner, and for reasons, which have no
parallel in our political history, and in manner
and for reasons, furthermore, which are an out
rageous insult to every member OF his party in
the United States.
Can this, indeed, be the first and characteri-
zing act of the drama which is to mark the next
presidential period of our once democratic repu6-
lie? All the circumstances combine to indicate
it. 1t was clearly Swallowed forth in the Nation

date with a will and eagerness that showed his
purpose of carrying it out with more than plena-

sition, was papaqly exercised in breaking down
the coalition and warning his followers to come
out from the doomed race, III the late Massachu-
sets elections while as palpably was that same
influence exercised in breaking up previous ar

the election Of Gag Anterior, thathe might have
that American Haynau in the Senate ofthe Uni

these Enthusiastically point in the same direction,

WASHINGTON, Tuesday, August 8.
Notwithstanding the attempts, in va
rious quarters, to treat the recent dis
closures Of threatened revelation in 10
Cuba with leeity, the matter is known 4
to have sufficiently grave TO attract
the attention of the Spanish Minister +,
here, and to have been brought 10 the
notice of the Governmentin such q man
ner as to autIlorise The adoption Of pre-
cautonary measures. There IS little
douJtthatarepolutioaary organization 4
ec|sts IN tie Island, and that there are
agencies or branches in the U. States. .
1t is pretty well ascertained that 'indi-
viduaIs connected with the proposed
movement have recently been vibrating b
between New York and New Orleans, u
cQnceriing plans and holding conferen-
ces looking, as is supposed, to a hostile
demonstration in the month Of October.
With all the Secresy which has beehob-
served bythese conspirators against the
public peace and good faith Of tho Uni
ted States in the observance of treaty
stipulationS, they have been tracked so
closely as to warrant the belief that 4
new plan has been devised, and that
another invasion may be attempted, nm.
less the present intelligence should lead
to its Illustration. Il
Spain tci2l contest Tie possesstson of
C3ba, as it is her just right to do, at
every hazard, and with every means Of +,
defence that can be procured by her
own resources; or if need be, by allan
ceS with other powers. Vigorous po-
hey has been ordered, and the Captain
General of the Island, in obedience to
his instructions, under the apprehended
revolt and invasion, has directed that
every person taken with arms in his
hands against the authorities, SAaH be

the expedltonists engaged in the last
crusade against Cuba, has not only
encouraged others to repeat that law.7'
less enterprise, but it has created bad
impression abroad the ability of the y
judicial tribunals to administer the law
in the face of a morbid state Of opinion.
And avery natural consequence Of these
failures is the audacious attempt now
made to renew the experiment, and at
a moment when the bad passions of men g
are too apt to be excited by the warmth
of presidential contest.

Marshfeld, October 2ith.--Mr Web
sier expired precisely twenty minutes to
three this morning, During the early
part of the evening, there was some de-
crease in the swelling in Mr.. Webstcr's
abdomen, and fewer symptoms Of nau-
sea, but no signs OF rallying. Repeat.
edly in the course OF the forenoon and
early partof the afternoon, he converSed
freely and with great cleamoss of detail,
in relation to his private affairs and the
condition of lis farms; stating his plans
fully, and the manner in which he wish
ed to have them carried ont. About
FIVE O'Clock he was again seized with
nousea, and raised considerable dark
matter, mingled with blood. Exhaus-
ton now increased rapidly and his ply
sician held another consultation, which
resulted in The conclusionthat his death
was fast approaching. Ilereceived the
announcement with calmness, and re-
quested that the female members of his
family be called in, viz: Mrs. Webster,
Mrs. Fletcher Webster, Mrs. J. W.
Paige, and Miss Down. To each, call.
ing them individually by name, he ad-
dressed few words Of farewell and ra-
tional consolation. Next he had called
in the male members of lis family, and
personal friends who had been with him
the last few days, viz; Fletcher Web
ster his only surviving son; Samuel A.
Appleton, son-in-law; J. W, Paige, G.,
T. Curtis, Edward Curtis, Of N, York ;
Peter Harvey and Charles Henry Tho
mas of Nlarshfeld; also, Messrs. George
J.. Abbott and W. 4 Zautzinger, both
of the State Department, Washington.
Addressing each Of them by name, he
referred to his past relations with them
respectively, and one by one bade them
an affectionate farewell. This was
about half past six. He now had Mr..
Harvey called in again, and said to
him, Harvey, am not so sick but that

you; | am we'll enough to leave you, and
well enough to call down the richest of
