Webster and his Friends-A Good Anecdote.
New York correspondent of the Detroit
Inquirer, relates the following anecdote,
concerning Daniel Webster, which we do not
recoliect ever having Seen before. 1t illus
trates the almost idolatr0as devotion with
whlch the great statesman was regarded by
many Of the people of Massachus it's. Mr.W.
bought a portion Of the Marshfed estate from
MIR. Thomas, a plain farmer and fisherman,
but shrewd and well informed. They became
afterwards very intimate, and Thomas sub
scrlbed for the intelligencer to read the
speeches Of his friend. One day along came
Col. Haynes speech on Foote'S resolution.
Thomas read II by his fire side, one winters
afternoon, and when he got through, fol-
ded the paper up, and sadie Boys pull off
my boots; am gong 10 bed; Daniel has been
used up; he will die; ne will never come home:
and had about as lief die as not; pull Of my
Doots.' The old man was as good as his
word--he kept his chamber for days in the
deepest detection for his ideal man--his hu
man IDOL was, as he supp osed, Frustrated for
ever. Days passed on, when one day the
Iatclltgencer arrived, bringing Webster's re-
ply; the oldest boy then young man Of TWEEN
ty, now himself gray-head d, read the speech
in reply before taking it to his father, after
which he carried it up stairs. ssTake it a.
way" sald the old man, 6 can't read it,
and wont; take il away!' The boz placed
the paper on the table and left, the old man
craWled toward it after time, and left il not
out OF his hands till the last word was read,
when loud call was heard for his boots:
ne LETT the house, and returned not, till every
hreside within circuit Of two miles had
echoed to the burning deathless sentences Of
WEBsTER's GREAT SPEEcH!'' i

PATENT OFFIcE.-The Patent Office report
states that the arrearages in business in that
Office have been we'll pushed forward by in
creasing the number of examiners. Since
the first of January, 1000 patents have been
issued aud the whole number for the year
will reach 1900, or double that Of 1858. The
principle recommendations Of Mr.. Mason are
that the examining force be permanently aug
mented, that better provision be made for ia
king testimony in case Of appeal, and new
rate Of fees established.

RETURNING REASON.


The Gazette seems at last to be penetrated
by very faint idea Of the bad taste and
worse morality of its late abuse of Cover
nor Grimes, and seems BY its altered tone
to feel the justice of our remarks. But it
cannot fully comprehend that its slanderous
attacks upon his Excsllency ARE only SO many
inuendoes upon the good sense and sound
judgement of the people of Iowa. He would
make it appear that the people have elected
a notorious liar, to the highest Office in the
State.
The editor Of that paper must know, that
the application of such epithets, are in ex-
cesdingly bad taste. He is so much of a
gentleman in his intercourse with society, as
probably neverto apply such language, in.
common conversation, to any -one however
low. Why then lug it into journal intend
ed to circulate every where, and be read by
all-in the counting room, the shop, and
about the Preside? Why use language in a
paper that you would be afraid or ashamed
t. utter in the drawing room?
1neFc - SOmetuinS uue W uiHefcHCc vi
opinion, to courtesy, to say nothing of COM
mon decency. What would be said Of us,
were we to FIRE away and say the President
of the United States had lied in his account
of the Greytown affair, in his annual message
and we dared any body to take it up! There
could be little necessity for any body taking
the matter up, and it is to be presumed that
no one having self respect would do so. So
We might have said that the editor of the
Gazette was an cold fogy''-thas he was run
ming the thing in the ground that he was
sinking the ghost Of the locofoco party SO
low, that the plummet line could never reach
it-that no political resurrection, could ever
bring it to the light of popular favor! Yet we
have not, and never shall. We leave that to
his friends!
From all this, it must be seen and acknowl-
edged, even by the Gazette, that the truth is
not always to be spoken! How much more
necessary then, is it to restrain those violent
accusations, having SO small base of actual
fact as to be visible probably to the editor Of
that paper alone? We hope these few re-
marks may prove apresent blessing to oul
ncighbor, as we may not again have time OF
space to bestow upon him.
