Webster and Havne

In reading lately the Speeches of IInyne and
Webster, in the great debate in the Senate of
the United States, in January 1880. on Mr.
Foots Resolution, we had the curiosity to turn
to the "Privn'e Correspondence Of Daniel Web
eter," for an expression of his sentiments, rs to
the part acted by him on the occasion, and
were surprised to find, that lie represents his
speeches. as having been deliyered without
preparation, and as costing him no effort. kc.
cording to his account, the debate was entirely
accidental After q day spent in the Supre rc
Court, he had gone into the Senate, with his
papers under l,s nrm. and thus happened to
hear General Haynes Speech, to which lie re.
piled, only at the solicitation Of his friends
1t has been said that ambition is the last nfirm-
ity ofnoble minds" but they seem to be as often
affected with the vanity of appearing great
without an effort. They erect colossal struc.
ture aud then knocking down the scafroldinp,
endeavor to impress upon all that like Sa.
tan Is palace it
"Aroso like an exhalation''
All of Wcbster's Speeches give evidence of
elaborate preparation. and we know TINT many
of them Were elaborated long before the leliv.
II
ual habit on1the present occasion, we have the
testimony of Col Benton in his Thirty Years
View" According to Col. Benton, Webster
had ample preparation, and the choice Of the
attack. lie had observed, during the Summer,
signs of disunion in South Carolina, which he
attributed to Mr.. Calhoun, and then choosing his
time and occasion, lie hung his speech on n dis
pnted motion, with which it Ind nothing to do
The Speech was directed against Mr.. Calhoun
then presiding in the Senate, and without n
right TO reply, and glittcring with every spc
cies of parliamentary and forensic weapon
solid argument, playful wit, biting sarcasm
classic alluson"; was directed at "a new doe.
trine of South Carolina origin Gen. IIayne
thus became the champion ofMr. Calhoun. and
showed his ability to cope with the ripened in
tclect, and ample preparation of Webster. The
work contains glowing tribute to his memory

than some days before, proved to be a very
fine one.
have forgotten to mention that very few
fires have this fall burned over the prairies.
and very fortunate it is that such has proved
to be the case. Last year they were very
general and very destructive; the woods suf-
fered considerably and SO much hay was
burnt that in st. Paul and many other places
it reached an almost fabulous price, and in
deed could not be obtained at all unless by
going to distance of 30 or 40 miles south.
At Kandotta this year fire was seen early
in November, but it did not reach the settle
mcnt, and if it had, would have probably
done little damage, as the people took the
precautiOn to burn around all the hay stacks,
and this was all that could be injured.
Well, at length we were about to bid good
bye to the inhabitants of this settlement,
whom we shall not probably see for four
months at least. Early in the morning, that
is, two hours before daylight, we were up
and getting our breakfasts, and by the time
the sun made his appearance were five or six
miles from Kandotta. As about five inches
of snow had fallen the wheeling was not
quite so good as when we came up however
it was not bad enough to complain of, and
our progress was very satisfactory. We saw
quite number of prairie chickens perched
on the teees, but owing to some cause or
other we had poor success, and shot only one.
About O'Clock we came to our broken
down wagon, and were here detained half an
hour or SO, after which we logged merrily
along, reaching Lake Henry about P. NJ,
and night overlook us before we could get to
Richmond, where we camped. After pitch
ing our tent and getting supper we lay down
on the snow we'll rolled up in our blankets,
and slept soundly until o'clock the next
day.
We got off about eight, and when the sun
arose never was winter landscape more
lovely. Nothing can be conceived so much
like Fairy-land. Every bush, every spray,
and every blade of grass was covered with
diamonds which glittered in the SUMS first
rays with all the brlliancy imaginable
Beautiful. splendid, magnificent. are terms
that poorly shadow forth the wonders of the
scene. If winter had robbed the trees of
their green summer garniture, she had cloth
ed them in lovelier robes, pure, glittering and
delicate, more charming than can we'll be
conceived unless by those who have seen it
with their own eyes.
Our route homeward abounded in no incl
dent worth naming, as the road was good
and the weather fine until the last afternoon,
when a snow storm commenced few miles
from st. Anthony, and continued until we
reached St. Pavl, lasting all that night, and
making for the first time this season pretty
fair sleighing.

l promised in my last to say something
about the climate of this portion Of Minneso-
ia, but before going further it were as well
perhaps thst our readers should understand
whereabouts we are. Those who have traced
our ycourse ON the maps can form pretty
correct opinion, but not exactly, for there is
no map yet published which gives correctly
the topography of the whole of Minnesota
while to those who do not happen to have
map by them, it may be still more difficult to
form anything like correct idea of the mat
ter.
In the first place, the distance from St.
Paul to ST. Cloud is between 10 and Is
miles, and by most persons is supposed to be
directly north fthe former place, whereas it
is not so, for it is scarcely 40 miles north, but
about so west from St. Paul, the general d.
rection of the Mississippi from st. Cloud to
st. Paul being about southwest. Well, as
the general course the Sank River pursues
is in nearly eastern direction from its source
where it leaves Sank Lake, and as Kandotta
is only three miles from the outlet, it will be
seen at once that it is only about As miles or
three quarters of a degree further north than
st. Paul Now it is well-established fact
that the isothermal of 40 deg. mean annual
temperature after it crosses Minnesota, runs
rapidly towards the north as it proceeds
westward hence it will be apparent that
the climate at Sank Lake must be quite as
mild as at St. Paul, which it indeed is, as
may be shown by the following table.

"MAJoR JOSEPH TAYLoR:-You will pro-

the bend of Bear River, north by east of this
place. Take close and correct observations
OF the country on your route. When you
approach the road, send scouts ahead to as
certain if the invading troops have passed
that way. If they have passed, take con-
cealed route and get ahead of them. Ex-
press to Col. Benton who is now on that road
and in the vicinity Of the troops, and effect
juno, ion with him so as to operate in concert
On ascertaining the locality or route of the
troops, proceed at once to annoy them in ev-
cry possible way.
Use every eXcrtiOn to stampede their ami
mails and set fire TO their trains Burn the
whole country before them and on their
ianks. Keep them from sleeping by night
surprises. Blockade the road by falling trees,
or destroying river fords where you can.-
Watch for opportunities to set fire to the
windward, so as, if possible, to envelope their
trains. Leave no grass before them that can
be burned.
Keep your men concealed as much as pos
sible, and guard against surprise. Keep
scouts out at all times, and communication
open with Col. Benton, Maj McAlIister. and
o. P. Rockwell, who are operating the same
way. Keepmc advised daily of your move
ments, and every step the troops take and in
what direction. God bless you and give you
success. Your brother in CHRIST,

P. S. If the troops have not passed, or
have turned in this direction, follow in their
rear and continue to annoy them, burning any
trains they may leave. Take no life, but de-
stroy their trains and stampede or drive
away their animals at every opportunity.
