Dear Sir =. q '''ifr i'Es'.'
.n.,y,.,i We learn by Telegraph
this morning that Hon. DANIEL WEB
sTER died at three o'clock, at his res
idence at Marshfell. He died in tho
full possession Of his. faculties. His
death has lmomentarily been looked
for the last two days. Thus, has fall
len another bright luminary from a.
mong us. There are none but must
deeply feel thelos ofsogreat q man |;
and, however much some may have
differed from him in matters relative
to the best policyto ibelpursued for the.
good Of our common country,-there
can be none but will have the justice
to accord tohim that he was a great
man, and onewhoh has done as much
for Ills country as any who have gone
before him, or that now, exist. .sI q
The course taken by the. friends of
Mr.. Webster in relation to the candi-
dacy for the Presidency,it is true, is
not calculated torehect much credit
upon themselves or him, as far as the
Whigiparty is concerned ;ryet have
the charity to believe that when eve
rything is unfolded and the facts bro't
to the light, be will be fully exempt
ed, and his nameistand as iunsullied as

From my long silence. i suppose
YOU have concluded that i have ADAM
doned the {" Mirror or something as
bad, and in retaliationhaye concluded
to stop my supplies BY not sending it,
as l have missed the last two numbers.
This is upon the principle Of the ST.
ger rule, which ] believe is oftener
practised than the golden ,,;ri1;a..a
The general news Of the day since
Inv last, has not been Of that charac-
ter that would greatly interest your
readers. Politicians and politics ap-
pear vet to be the all:absorbing. ques-
ton Of the day. and the few items of
news outside Of that interesting circle.
are Of but minor importance. There
has been some effort for q month or
two in New York toraise u 'brindle
with Cuba, but think the prospects,
now very dull. y,.iiqta lie, Sia4tit SEQ
Gen. Scott returned day before yes
|.terday to his, home, from his trip to
| Kentucky. Quite a demonstration
was made in the evening by his friends
who marched to his,residence't to well
come the old hero back to his home
and friends. A procession Of from
5000 L, 5000 was formed at the Wing
Club Room, and proceeded with two
bands ofmusic to the old Generals
residence, where he was welcomcdin
a short speech from the Ex-Mayor, of
the city, 10 which no responded with
fine effect and with q onsiaerable de.
gree Of oratory. For the Democrat
e leaders to SLY that! Gen. Scottican
not make aispeech, is all galnmon.-
Ifiyou, Mr.. Editor, had heard this
speech, you certainly would huye come
to the same conclusion, and said that
Old Chip. was misrepresentcd in.this
particular as we'll as inimally others.
Hell in fine health and spirits, andiis
evidently not much scared about be-;
ingidcfeated. II, .r.....,... ,,o
Of course I can say nothing as b.
who is most likclyto be tho successor
Of Mr.. Webster as Secretary ofyStutc.
This, howcyer,lI may lie, able TO adj

together with other items of interest
If you will leave a small corner Of
