Interesting Reminiscence.-In the :: able
speech of Mr.. Everett before the U. ). Senate
on the Nebraska Bill, we find The following IN
teresting aIlussions to Mr. Webster's position
and feelings on the Compromise of 1856:
"And now, sir, having alluded to the speech
of Mr.. Webster of the 7th March, 1850, allow
me to dwell upon it for moment. i was IN
position next year, having been requested by
that great and larnented man to superntend
the publication of his works, to know very par
ticularly the comparative estimate which ne
placed upon his own parliamentary efforts. He
told me more than once that he thought his Sec
ond speech on Foote's resolution was that IN
which he had best succeeded as a Senatorial
effort, and specimen OF, parliamentary dialee-
tics; but he added, with an emotion which even
he was unable TO suppress, "lhe speech OF the
9TH of March, 1850 much as have been revil-
ell for it, when am dead will be allowed to be
Of the greatest importance to the country.7-
Sir he took the greatest interest III that speech.
He wished it togo forth with a specific title;
and, after considerable deliberation, it was cal
led by his own direction, ga speech tor the
Constitution and the Union" He inscribed it
TO the people of Massachusetts, in dedication
of the most emphatic tenderness, and he prefix
ed to It that motto, which you 81 remember,
from Livy, the most appropriate and fehcliioqs
quotation perhaps that was ever made. True
things rather than pleasant thIngs--VeTa pro
gratis--an1 with that he sent it forth to the
world. i- .3 r
Sir. in that sreeob-his gigantic intellect
brought together all that it could gather from
the law of nature, from the Constitution of the
United States, from our past legislation, from
the physical features of the region, to strength
ell him in that plan Of conciliation and peace
in which he feared that he might not carry a.
long with him the public sentiment OF the
whole of the country which he particularly rep
resented here At its close, when he diated
upon the disastrous effects of seperliion, he
rose to a straint of impassoned eloquenee
which has never been surpassed within these
walls. Every topic, every argument, every
fact was brought to bear upon the point; and he
felt that all his vast popularity was at stake on
the issue. Let me commend it to the atten-
ton of Senators, and let me ask them to CON
slider what weight is due to the authority OF
such man, speaking under such circunistan-
ces and on such an OccasioB, When he tells you
that the condition Of every foot of land IN the
country, for slavery Or non slavery, was fixed
bv some irrepealable law. And you are now
about to rppaal the principal law which ascer-
tanned and fixed that condition. And, Sir, IT
the Senate will take any heed of the opinion of
one 81 humble as myself, Twill say that | be-
lieve Mr.. Webster, in that speech, went to the
very verge of the public sentiment in the nom
saveholding States, and that to have gone
hairs breadth further would have been step
too bold even for his great weight of character

but labor under the great disadvantage of
having no facilities for transportation, TO
these distant markets. Their labor, there
fore. does not meet its due reward. They
do not receive fair price for the products
of their soil. Thev have not the same facil-
tiles for accumulating wealth as their more
fortunate neiphbors in the river counties. and
their lands, though well improved, would
sell for comparatively nominal price.
IF gentleman will take into consideration

the Importance TO Missouri and Iowa of

the fertile prairies of Iowa. what single pro-

you consider it as link in the great chain
or railroads connecting New Orleans with
the Falls of St. Anthony and Lake Superior
it assumes a national character and imr
portance which makes its claims on Con-
gress for this grant almost imperative.
That this road will be one of great utility
and profit; that the prosperity of large
portion of the young and growing States of
/ Missouri and Iowa require ii; that the wants
and necessities of the people along the route

perhaps the last fully conceded.
That the committee NAV understand all

LEGISLATURE on that subject. They say:
"While YOUR memorialists would not ask

Yet in the face of this table the gentleman
from New York, Mr., Bennett, in his re-
port made against these western improve
ments, referred to the aggregate sales of pub
lie lands in all the districts TO show that
these improvements do not facilitate the sale
the lands on their routes. The unfairness
of his report is apparent from the above ta-
Bile, which shows an extraordinary increase
in the sales OF the reserved land on the route
of the Missouri roads after partial reSto-
ration to market, all within the fifteen mile
limits, and which was most benefited by the
road, being still reserved But in addition
TO this, the Commissioner, in his report,
says:
ITO grants of this character FOR railroads
canals, &c., not one tangible or substantial
objection can be presented. The increased
value given to the lands enables the Govern
ment 10 get double price, and ready sale
for those retained, and hence the grant costs
them nothing ...
