Mr.. EDITOR The wholr country mourns the
loss of great intellect. Not N. E. alone; but
the west, the north, the south. Daniel Webster
| the statesman, has gone the land of spirits
That giant mind, which for the last thirty years
has held such influence over the politicul world,
has gone to sleep. Only his works are left, to ap-
plaud, condemn. There is much to applaud ;
but o, how much to condemn! Had that great
intellect been drawn out in pu'sations for Divine
Right, and Divine Justice, instead of being i'm
Prisoned in the close cells of pa-tizan feeling-had
there been less of ambition about him but more
OF love for manknl, how much might he have con-
| trlbuted to the common humanity. But, fear
that the voice of the pershing as i: sweIls up in
future generations, will come up with curse up
on him who contributed so much to the develop
ment and fruition OF the cruel Fugitive Slave
Law" Perhaps, he had way of excusing him.

that whisper rung in his dying ears: " Inasmucl
ye did it not unto the least of these little ones
| ye did it not unto me.'
PARKER's Discourse.
| You have, doubt, read that n,asterly produc-
y
| ieI Webster. That, remarked gentleman in my
hearing the other day, Is the greatest intellec-
tual feat of the age" The distinguished states
man himself, could not equal that production, for
deep penetration of thought power of analysis and
logical correctness. ] doubt whetherany man in
Massaehusetts-yea in New England, could equal
it. 1t must stand alone a monu ment of iuteliec
tual, analytical and logical greatness for years to
come. He Is truthful, though not bitter; rever-
entail, though not lavish in his praises critical,
though not overmuch. The idea that dead men
are saints, n:ees with acquiescence on his part.
| In short, such a combination of keen, though Just
criticism. of Biographical, historical and political
facts. such array of analytical, and intellectual
power, Inever combined in single discourse
before. Still such is the feeling toward Mr.. P.
his peculiar political and theological views, few
comparatively, will read it.

| THE RESULT OF THE LATE ELECTION.
| Once more have the political parties met in the
struggle for president. Almost beyond precedent
have the Democrats been successful. Yet what
mind not over heated with party zeal, could not
have read that before the election. The fact is
