The following extract Is made from the
Eulegy delivered by Professor L. ID. San
born on Mr.. Webster:
lie appreciated, very highly, every token
of friendship from the citizens of New
Hampshire. lie felt deeply the alienation
of soma of his early associates. During
the last winter, remember, with what
feeling he alluded TO tins fact. &c do not
expect any thing from New Hampshire,
(said he) but if have any friends there,
why don't they show themselves! Are
they ashamed of me in my native State =
Coming years will answer this question:
Posterity will answer IT, in long and loud
acclaim. History will answer il, by rear
ing the monument of New Hampshire S
glory upon the base of Websters fame
1t is the common destiny OF men OF the
highest genius and virtue. to labor with
unrequited toll There are services which
none of the rewards of earth can inspire
or compensate. A life devoted to the best
interests Of people does not always Sc
cure their gratitude. PerlcIes adorned
Athens, encouraged her arts, extended her
dominion, and confirmed her power; and,
though on his death.bed, he could console
himself, as our American statesman might
have done, that 10 one Of his conntrymen
had worn mourning through his agency,
yet his last days were embittefed by the ac'
cusations OF his enemies, and be went down
to the grave in sorrow. Demosthenes
breathed new life into his fainilng country
men, and. for time, sustained the state
by his peerless oratory; yet, he found too
late, that his wisdom md eloquence were
avished in vain, upon degenerate race
and he was obliged to take poison to escape
a traitors death.
Cicero was hailed as the savior OF Rome
and yet, at last, was compelled TO stretch
out his aged neck for the vile assassin
olow. We have now suffered the last ane
most illustrious Of that intellectual tnnm'
virate, that for forty years, have gni
ded and instructed the nation, to go dowr
TO the tomb without attaining the highes
object OF laudable and honorable ambi
ton. lie has gone and LEFT his wor'
as rich legacy to coming ages, Advance
then, ye future generations, aud receive tina
legacy which caunot be diminished by mi
mute division, nor destroyed by persona
appropriation.
Using his own words on similar occa
sioE, we may now say" His name des
cending with all time. spreading over tn
whole earth, aud written in all the Ian
Il guages belonging TO the tribes and races
men, win forever be pronounced with al
iectiouate gratitude by every onc IN who's
breast there shalt arise an aspiration io

IL IS not uilhcult 10 detect the OBJECT ~
all this abuse Of the American people by
the press OF Europe. UuqGesuonably the
purpose is to array the fears. the preludiccs
and the public sentiment OF Europe against
American Democracy. II IS the old war
OF monarchy Rgainst popular government
Civil haertyin Europe has been discrediied
and extinguished by connecting Ii with the
odium OF socialism and anarchy. II the
world could be persuaded that the pasIime
Of the American people Is rapine and plum
der, the force of public sentiment would he
turned agains. republican government. and
the successful example of free institutions,
in this country, would fail to conciiate
favor and imitation in other lands. As
much. then, to bring contempt aud reproach
on American Democracy, as TO dwarf ns
growth aud undermine its power, does the
psess OF Europe vont constant etream ot
iuvective against American 'diibustierism.
A cry of alarm is raised by the slaves OF
monarchy, that all nations may be put
upon their guard against American Demo-
cracy. aud holy alliance between kings
aud emperors be formed 10 arrest its march
to power and glory, II not to annihiate its
existence.
The President o. the United States has
taken up the cry of monarchical Europe.
and in his official message he plants hun
self among the foes to American progress.
He, too, descries danger in the path OF Am
ericNn destiny. tie opposes the acquisi.
sition OF Cuba as measure fraugbt with
great peril TO the Union, but he fails to
/ indicate the source aud nature of that peril
/ Mr.. Fillmore may be the unconscious ally
of monarchy against Democracy; but by
joining with the press OF Europe in repu.
dating any exieuslon of American soil, he
does efficient service for those who ayow
the design of limiting aud lettering Amer.
ican power. If the policy OF Mr.. Fillmore
were to become the settled policy of tie
! Government the apprehensious and ieal-
ousies OF monarchsts would be put to rest,
but the hope of ireemen would be entirely
extngushed This country must press
onward in .he career of glory on which
it has entered, or It's relative position in the
world cannot be maintained, and eventually
it must become incapable OF defending its
nationality. Every leading nation OF the
earth is engaged in extending its territory
and is powef--Great Britain in India,
France in Africa and perhaps elsewhere,
Russia IN Circassia and Persia, and Austria
on the confines Of Turkey. The United
States cannot stand STILL without falling
! in the rear OF its rivals. When the energy
and ambition of nation are so relaxed
that il does not move onward from the im-
pulse OF its own effort the current OF an
ebbing tide will soon bear il to destruction.
