DANIEL WEBsTER's FIRST ORATIoN.-A gradu-
ate of Dartmouth College has kindly furnished
us with a copy, in manuscript, Of Daniel Web
ster's Grafton before the United Fraternity Of
the college ffty-two years ago. It having been
stated, through some literary periodical that
the only existing copy of this Grafton had been
distracted from the college, and that the grafton
itself was thereby most probably lost to the
public forever, our contributor, in this instance
has thought fit to submit the copy which he had
saved, for publication in the NEW YORK HERALD,
as the quickest expedient for the general dil'u-
sion and preservation of this first regular orato-
rical effort of the immortal expoundcr and de-
fender Of the constitution. Coinciding in the
views of our contributor, we spread the aiorc-
said grafton before our readers in this paper.
1t is interesting, not only os Illustrating the
mighty though undeveloped elements OF Mr..
Wobsters mind at nineteen years of age, but as
a relic of history, independently of any conncc-
ton with Dartmouth College or .Ie orator Of
the day. The literary executor OF Mr.. Web

The IMPEACHMENT CASE IN ALBANY-JoHN
c. MATHER BROUGHT TO TRIAI--The long, bitter,
and relentless persecution to which our bunker
Canal Commissioner, John c. Mather, has been
subjected by his friends of the barnburner per-
suasion appears at length to be in fair way OF
drawing to it's close The trial of Mr. Mather,
under the bill of impeachment presented against
him by the Legislature for malfeasance in Office.
commences to-day in Albany. He must doubt
less felcitate himself on having thus, at length,
an opportunity of rebutting the slanderous ac-
cusations Of which he has been the object, and
OF wiping away from his character the stains
with which the opposing faction so industriousy
sought to tarnish it.
The history Of this curious case has been now
for months before the public. Mr.. Mather was
an official of popularity, who might be supposed
likely to become successful candidate for the
same post of canal commissioner at the next
election. There is nothing novel in the idea of
iIjuring the popularity ofan opposing candidate,
by spreading reports detrimental to his charac-
ter, or by trumping up charges against his pre-
vous discharge Of duties. 1t was resorted to
III tIllS CAST, anu Will UJttICsI ucGcTHllud-
ton. Bills of impeachment were presented in
the Legislature against him and four or five other
officials in the same department. But the latter
were either wings or barnburners, and SO with
regard to them the bills fell to the ground.
Not SO, however, with John C. Mather. against
whom bill of impeachment was passed by the
Legislature, and the issue thereof the Court in
Albany is now to decide.
For our part, we feel morally convinced that
the Whole of this affair arises from party vim
dictivcness, and that Mr.. Mather has been, up
to this time the victim Of an artfully contrved
and relentlessly pursued system of political
persecution. lie has now the opportunity to
prove his own official purity; and we doubt not
he will pass through the ordeal unscathed, and
with his popularity not diminished but height.

The YOUNG DEMoCRACY-NEw YoRK-THE
DIILAYE CoNvENfIoN-No GO.-Our readers
will have perceived from the letter of our Al
the convention held at the State Capitol the
other day, of the Executive State Committee of
the Young Democracy OF this State, was no 60.
1t was sorry attempt at harmony and ended
in sorry failure. The barnburners were hum
be and conciliatory; they could afford to be
with the lions share of the plumber. The
hunkers were intractable, as might have been
expected from men of disappointed and empty
stomachs. A hungry democrat is a bad ooun-
sellor for harmony, except when the wings are
in-then he is powerful Now he stands in the
way. So they did at Albany They resolved
that hereafter the democracy shOnld give their
SURFACES to the hunkers at the risk of row.
And upon this resolution. strange to say, Capt.
Rynders held the balance of power and yet de-
clined to vote. They could neither agree to
approve the administration nor to condemn it,
though resolutions for both objects were pro-
posed. 1t was drawn game, or a sort of TEN
porary compromise, on the ground that it was
best to say nothing about the administration
This, too, from the young democracy of the Dill

but we can only watch and pray.

A PLEA FROM SOUTH AMERICAN Prison.
We comply with the request Of an American
citizen. now serving q term of Imprisonment in
the State prison of New Granada. to publish a
communication which he hos forwarded us
therefronl, in plea ofhis illegal detention The
writer claims sort Of acquaintanceship with
the editor Of the HERALD. contracted ten or
twelve years ago in hotel in New York and
seems to base on that his request that we should
publish his story. Whether this be so or not,
soWeVcr, his paramount claim upon our CO

citizen; and If he be unjustly imprisoned as he
alleges, in foreign State, he is entitled to the
sympathy and interference of the American
authorities. To bring the circumstances of
his case before them, we therefore publish his
story in his own words.
