From the MiltDaukee (Wis.) Journal.
Daniel Webster.

The acknowledged intellectual ability Of Mr.
WEBSTER, his large political experience. unrivallcd
forensic cloquence, tried patriotism, and practical
diplomatic skill, point him out as prominent can
didate for the Presidency. and make him the first
choice of many influential members of the Whig
party. He has been distinctly presented to the
consideration of the National Wing Convention by
large and enthusiastic meetings held in the cities
Of Boston and New York; and a respectable por
ton OF the press is decidedly favorable his nom
nation Mr.. Webster's qualifications for the Office
are unqucstioned. As successful dipIomatst, we
believe he has equal among living men. BY
the force OF his logic, he has achieved for what
war could not accomplish, and the American flag
is now exempted from foreign intervention in every
sea. II is conceded that Mr.. Webster has been
eminently successful in the conduct of our foreign
affairs, neither compromising the dignity of our
Government nor giving needless offence to the
self-respect OF other nations.
Twice has the Cabinet OF Great Britain made
formal apologies TO our Government during MIR.
Webster's occupancy of the Department of State.
For more than third Of a century, with a few
short intervals, he has been in the service Of his
country Representative, Senator, and Secretary,
and during all that period he has been known
as the friend and supporter Of American indus
try and the development Of American resources
the only permanent basis for prosperous foreign
commerce. On several occasions he has stepped
forward, regardless Of the expressed wishes Of
bis party friends, and walked peace from the
elements of strife, and when the storms OF po-
itical excitement he will be regarded
not only as the "great eIpounder Of the Consti.
tuition" but as the pacincator of the country.
Especially is he known and cherished Al the
friend OF the Union aud wherever and when
ever 1--WE behold the gorgeous ensign of the Re-
public, nov known and honored throughout the
earth, still full high advanced, its and tro-

ment dear to every true American heart, Liberty

To higher place on the scroll Of fame than that
OF Daniel Webster fec can aspire; to greater merit
none, perhaps, can present lawful claim. Hon
orcd he cannot be by place and power; bat honored
is the country which can command the services OF
such illustrious sons and servants-men whose
character and career and services reflect honor
