Mississippi to the late National Convention, SUN
,on in number, accompanied by the Hon. waite
Locke and several other gentlemen from the SAM
State not delegates, called on wednesday last 10 pa
their respects to the Hon. Daniel Webster, at hi
nrvate residence in Washington. Inc Delegation
he Integencer says, was received In the most cor
JoI and friendly manner by MIR. Webster, and tht
interview was of most interesting character Ate
the presentation, Gen. N. B. Starke in behalf OF the
deleoation, addressed MIR. Webster in short bu
eIooUent speech, complimenting him for his able de-
fence of the Union and the compromise, and the rights
of the South, and regretting that II was not In the
mower Of his friends to effect his nomination for the
Presidency. Gen. S. concluded by giving Mr.. Web
ster cordial invitation to visit Mississippi.
Mr. W. made brief but appropriate reply, In the
course of which he said he had complaints to make
against the Convention, and added;
His failure to receive the nomination inspired him
with no very deep regret far as he was personally
concerned but the disappointment which some OF
his friends who had taken warm interest In his De-
half had been subjected to. had, he confessed affected
him deeply. He understood and appreciated fully
the difficulties that surrounded the Southern delegates
in the Convention, and assured them that he cherI-
shed not single unkind feeling for not having been
honored by their votes He regretted that their policy
had been necessary, only because it would write
false chapter in the history Of the country by the
record it appeared that in all the numerous baotngs
the Southern delegates had failed to cast their votes
for him. after the hope Of success for their avo-
rite candidate had been abandoned; but the causes
that prevented them from coming TO his support were
"
to submit quietly to this apparent reflection upon his
public life but still, knowing the circumstances that
influenced them, it did not In the slightest degree
affect his feelings towards his Southern friends.
He concluded by eulogizing the principles OF the
conservative wing party, ard the necessity for the
delegates rgidly adhering to them, and alter thank
ing them for their friendly sentiments, said If he ever
travelled to the South he should certainly visit all the
principal cities of the State Of Mississippi, and &C.
cept the hospitality they so generously rendered.
Ball. Sun.
1t is significant fact that Mr.. Webster has not
vet said he will vote for Gen. Scott. He admitted
in his recent speech in Washington when serenaded
and called out by the crowd, that the nomination
was 'prob0bLy for the best.'' He could not have
said less, having been himself candidate for the
nomination.
His remarks, as given above by the IntelIigencer,
are full of meaning. He evidently feels keeny the
Indifference manifested towards him by the Southern
Delegates; he thinks that, after all hope for Mr.
Fillmore had failed, they might have given him the
compliment of their votes. But even that was denied
the Great Expounder." He staked himself, it is
true, for the rights of the South and for the Union
in March. 1850, in a speech which has never been
surpassed for force eloquence and he had meet,
the result of that speech, the bitter denuncia
lions and revilings of Seward and his gang. This
was well known to the Southern Wing Delegates !:
but then Mr. Webster was not popular, and, in their
tender regard for the country they concluded
aside great learning, profound knowledge of the
character and workings of our government, eminent
craftsmanship, and real merit, for plumes, gilt but
tons, and availability! Is there Wing in North
Carolina who stand up and say this is not SO 2
And what had Mr.. Fillmore done, or omitted TO
d. that Southern Wing Delegates should consent to
see him sacrificed? Was he not, according to South
ern Whiggery, model President! Had he no:
planted himself the fugitive-slave law, and was
he not standing there, endeavoring in the face of howl
ing fanatics and sanctimonuus higher-law TO per-
form his duty to the Constitution of the country, ,Ohi
Gen. Scott, his successful rival in the hands Of
Se,Oard and dumb this great question {? Answer US
that ye' enthr sastic Scott men ofNorth Carolina
Fillmore and Webster both sacrifced-both given up
to the memorable demands of party! What lesson
is that to the Northern people! What does it teach
Why, that the South far as Whiggery is concern
ed, is unjust and cruel towards her defenders
in the free States than the free States themselves,
for the free States demanded their sacrifice matter
of principle, and the slave States consented to it as
matter of erpediency and policy! What does it
teach 1t teaches all Wings in the free States, wheth-
great small in intellect and influence, to initiate
any other examples than those get by Webster and Fill
more and the lesson, in our opinion, is most likely
TO be learned by those Wings and put in practice.

Starke was too modest to alIude to his own Speech,
