The Public are already informed of the chief features
of that deeply interesting up the period when
Mr. Webster desired to take leave of all who in the
house One by one deep SORROW but sustained by his
own great example, the members of his family and the
friends and attendants in and took leave of him.
He desired them to remain his ROOM and more than
enoined those present who were not Of his i'm
mediate family not to leave Marshfeld till his death had
taken place Being assured by all that his every wish
would be regousy regarded he then addressed himself
to his physicians making minute inquiries to his
condition and the probable termination of his life
Conyersng with great exactness he seemed to be
ous to be able to mark to himself the final period of his
dissolution He answered that it might occur in one
two three hours, but that the time could be def
ntely calculated
"Then," said Mr.. WEBSTER, al suppose l must lie
here quietly till it comes"
The retching and vomiting now required again. Dr.
JEFFRIEs offered to Mr.. WEBSTER something which he
hoped might give him ease
The dying statesman remarked: Something more
Doctor-more. l want restoration
Between and eleven o'clock he repeated somewhat
indistnctly the words " Poet poetry; Gray, Gray"
Mr. FLETCHER WEBSTER repeated the first line of the
eegy The Curfew tolls the knell Of parting day"
"Thats it, that's it," said Mr.. WEBSTER; and the book
brought, and read him. which SEEM
| ed to give him pleasure.
From twelve O'clock till two there was much restless
ness, but not much suffering the physicians quite
confident that there was no actual pain
faintness occurred, which led him to think that his
death at hand While in this condition some express
sons fell from him indicating the hope that his mind
would remain to him completely until the last.
He spoke Of the difficulty Of the process Of dying when
DR.. JEfFRIEs repeated the verse
''Though walk through the valley of the shadow Of
death will fear evil for thou art with me; thy rod
: and thy staff they comfort me-"
| Mr. WEBSTER said Immediately g The fact-the fact
That is what want! Thy rod-thy rod thy staf-thy

THE LATEST FORGERY MAILED TO THE
COUNTER"

We have already published Mr.. LEWIS ID. CAMP
BELLS telegraphic exposure of the infamous forgery
circulated by the Democratic press to his prejudice
and the prejudice of General ScoTT. With charac-
terstlc disngenuousness the Union abors to weaken
the force OF the exposure by questioning the genu-
ineness OF the despatch; and then reiterates the
forgery, with sundry quotations to prove that it is
plausible.
We are now IN possession of a copy of letter
addressed to the Editors of this paper by Mr. CAMP
BELL, and received direct from him through the
mail. In this communication, which we append, he
refers to the statements on which the Union re-
lies for its Justification and pronounces the whole
forgery:
TO The Editors Of The National L,telligencer.
A friend OF mine has just sent me the Washington
Union OF the 18th instant, containing most infamous
editorial headed Seen. ScorT and the Abohtonsts-The
Wing Candidate for the Repeal of the Fugitive Slave
Law ms article attempts to prove that Gen. ScoTr is
an Abolitionst. The Editor says
"By the position and uneuuiyocal declaration Of !
Wing member Of Congress- who stands high in the conf
dence OF his party and gives the Wing candidate cordial
support we will show that Gen Scott is in favor of the
repeal OF the Fugitive Slave BILL and that he would if
sissSS~ -SN'n', oiSh iuW ior It's repeal
To prove this assertion the Union adds:
g On the Goth of July, 1882 the Hon. Lewis D.
Campbell addressed from Washington city circular to
his constituents, which published in the Lebanon
Star, an abolition Scott paper From this circular we
take an extract which submit the country without
comment
9" have been elected twice by Freesoil votes; am
the representative of Freesoil principles know General
Scott to be with the subject of slavery He is
friend of liberty platform platform and if we can
muster votes enough in Congress repeal the Fugitive
Slave law, believe can, it is within my knowledge
that General Scott viii sign the law Not so with General
Pierce he isas completely sold the South and to the
Webster were" !" LEWIS D. CAMPBELL
| pronounce the foregoing BASE FORGERY | NEVER
lished in the Lebanon Star.
The entire article in the Union is A TISSUE OF FALSE
HOODS AND NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., SUPPORTED ONLY by A
MOST vILLAINoUs FORGERY!
General ScoTT expressed to me any opinion as ia
the FugityeSlave law, have ever SO represented
My support of that distinguished is not and has moi
been founded upon his opinions upon that question.
Until the editors of the Union produce the Lebanon Sta,
containing such publication my name they must
stand before the world branded as LIARS and roRGrRs
