Boston, Sept. Is, 1852
Mr.. Editor,-The 229th anniversary of tn,
settlement of Boston, was observed yesterday
1t was intended to make the occasion one o
great parade and ceremony, and a general holi
day, especially in connection with the inaugur
alton of the statue of Daniel Webster; and We
were expecting high time, somewhat similar
to that which took place at the dedication of the
Franklin statue, few years ago. But we haC
cold water thrown on our anticipations as the
day dawned with slight sprinkle of rain
which gradually and obstinately increased, til
ltP9nred down in torrents; accompanied, lin The
afternoon, by not much less than a hurricane o.
wind. Nevertheless the ceremonies were gone
through with, in the best manner the circum.
stances would permit. A band of music, com.
pany of militia, and the dgnitaries of this
neighborhood, faced the storm bravely, and
went IN procession from the City Hall to the
Music Hall, where they were entertained with
speeches from some of our prominent men,
Prof. FELTON,, of Harvard College, Mayor Lin
coin, Gov Banks, and Edward Everett. Mr..
Everett was the orat or of the occasion, His
Grafton was mastery effort, and was reel eyed
with every demonstration of satisfaction by his
vast audience. At the point in his address
where he treated of the personal character OF
Mr.. Webster, he said, "Do you ask if he had
faults y Mr.. Everett continued by repeating
the question, and replying. "Ask your own
hearts tor the answer" He proceeded care
you still unsatisfed, Mr. Immaculate Then /
give you for your answer words that were ut
tered eighteen hundred years ago." and repeated
the parable of the Pharasee and the Publican
closing with marked emphasis, with the scrip
tural assertion that the Publican sensible of his
lault' and humbiy praying to be forgiven, went
to his house justified rather than the other
but human nature cannot forgive, and political
preJndlees are lnexorable. Daniel Webster had
his enemies and may have them still; but in
that respect he shares an equal honor with all
great and good men. Even Washington and
Franklin-names that are never mentioned now
but with love and veneration-had their enc
mics, who looked upon them as great political
Sinners. Candor and impartiality would save
US from many blunders in our judgement, not
only OF prominent men, but of our fellow crea
lures in all the walks of life"
Another prominent man of our State has lust
got himself into trouble. DR., J. c., Aver, of
Lowell the inventor of the well known "Cherry
PectoraP and "Cathartic Pills." which have
benefited so many, is just now the hero of
the hour. The Doctor has accumulated con-
fortune by the sale of his medicines
and in vested large amount oft in the stock
the Middlebury Mills. The Doctor has recently
kept sharp eye on TIE affairs of the company
and the relations between him and the treasur-
er of the corporation, have not been of an am
icable character. Yesterday, DR.. Aver, called
at the Office of the corporation in this city,
where some high words. passed between him
and the treasurer, Mr.. R. T. Fay, Jr. scuf-
fe ensued, in the course of which DR.. Aver
stabbed Mr.. Fay with pen-knife which he
happened to have in his hand, inf1icting a dan
gerous wound in the abdomen, which may prove
atal. DR.. Aver readily surrendered himself to
fthe authorities, and was bailcd in the sum of
800 ,OOOfer his appearance for further examna-
ton. S. T. w.
