LETTER FROM PRESIDENT FILL.
MORE

The following beautiful and touching letter
was addressed by President Fillmore to the
Heads ofthe several Departments, announcing
the death of Daniel Webster:
EAEUUIIvE MANSION, WASHINGTON,
Monday Morning, October IS, 1852.
GENTLEMEN: The painful intelligence re-
celVed yesterday enforces upon me the sad
duty OF announcing TO the Executive Depart
ments the death Of the Secretary of State
Daniel Webster died at Marshfie!d, in Massa-
chusetts on Sunday, the 24th Of October, be-
tween two and three O'Clock in the morning.
Whilst this irreparable loss brings its natu-
raj sorrow to every American heart, and will
be heard, far beyond our borders, with mourn
Jul respect wherever civilization has nurtured
men who find in transcendent intellect and
faithful patriotic service theme for praise, il
will visit with still more poignant emotion his
colleagues in the nistration, with whom
his relations have been SO intimate and So cor
dial. sid.
he fame Of our i!lus,rious statesman be-
longs 10 his country the admiration of it 10
the world. The record of his wisdom will in.
form future generations, not less than its utter
ance has enlightened the present. He has be-
queathed to posterity the richest fruits of the
experience and judgment of great mind con-
Versant with the greatest national concerns
In these his memory will endure d long as our
country shall continue to be the home and
uardian of freemen.
The people will share with the Executive
Departments in the common grief which be-
walls his departure from amongst US.
In the expression of individual regret at this
affecting event, the Executive Departments of
the Government will be careful to manifest ey-
cry observance of honor which custom has es.
tablished as appropriate to the memory of one
SO eminent as public functionary, and so dis.
ting uished as citizen.
The Acting Secretary of State will commu.
nicate this sad intelligence to the Diploma tic
Corps near this Government, and through our
Ministers abroad to Foreign Governments.
The members of the Cabinet are requested
as further testimony of respect for the de
for 80 days.

;rg the next summer, Indignantly repclicd tho
charge of corrupt collision between that gen.
teman and Mr.. Clay.
The great question of Mr.. Adams admins
,ration was the Panama Mission. In Decem-
Der, 1923, Spain being at war with her South
American Colonies, invited the Holy Alliance
to conference in Paris, for the purpose Of
agreeing upon some plan to assist her n sub
DUNG them. In consequence Of the decided
stand taken by Mr.. Canning, who in aconfer.
ence with the French Minister. declared that
any movement in that direction by the Allies
would determine England to recognise the in
dependence of the colonies, the meeting never
took place. In his annual message of Decem-
Der, 1898, MIR. Monroe took that ground, which
has ever since been known as the "Monroe
Doctrine and which bore that any nterfer-
ence on the part of any country in Europe with
the effairs OF this country, whether Tor purpo-
ses of colonization or otherwise, would be con-
sidered just ground Of war. This declaration
was unanimously approved of by the Cabinet,
and was sustained by the county. In order TO
carry out the doctrine, Mr. Adams sent to the
town of Panama commissioners to meet other
commissioners from the several Spanish Ame-
rican Republics, the object being TO establish a
firm alliance for the purpose of defence against
foreign interference. This measure was We
hementy opposed by the party opposed to
the administration, and warmly defended by
MIR. Webster, and others, in the House of Re-
representatives.. The last great speech he ever
delivered in the House was in support of il,
April, 1896. In 1925 he delivered his speech
on the laying of the corner stone of the Bun
ker Hill Monument, June 18th, and in 1896
his splendid funeral Grafton of the death OF
Adams and Jefferson was delivered. His prac-
tice in the Supreme Court had already grown
to be very large, and he had highly distinguish
ed him self in the famous case of Gibbon rs.
Ogden, which involved the constitutional pow
or of Congress to regulate commerce solely and
exclusively. Mr.. Webster's argument in fla.
vor of that power was conclusive of the ques-
ton, and his chain of reasoning was closely
followed by Chief Justice Marshall, in deliver
ing the opinion of the Court.
Mr. webster was again, IN 1870, elected to
the Congress which was to sit in December
1927 but before he took his seat he was elect.
ed to the Senate. The death of Mrs. Webster
prevented him from taking his seat in the Sen
ate, before January, 1928. His first appear
ance on the new stage was in an encounter
with Mr.. Tazewell upon the Process Bill, fol
regulating the proceedings of the United States
Courts. The arguments were entirely profes
sional, and therefore were not interesting to the
public generally. He exerted himself to ge
the bill, in favor of the surviving officers of the
revolution, passed, and spoke in favor Of and
voted for, the tariff OF 1923, entirely, as he said
on the ground of expediency. In the autumn
of 1928, Gen. jackson was elected President
by an overwhelming popular majority.

less in her part, and gave evidence of being an
accomplished actress. While we do not ad-

greater is our admiration of her. She has a
fine, commanding person, an easy, natural and
lofty Dir in all her movements, and evidently
has sprightly, intelligent and discriminating
mind. Miss Reynolds was also feyorite in
this play, and others performed well, while
some seemed TO have had characters assigned
them for which their several peculiar talents
were not fitted. The performance, however,
generally considered, gave satisfaction to
large audience.
