How Democratic Newspapers are
Sustained M Washington.

A correspondent OF the Washington
States gives the following account OF
how the Washington Constitution,
the Administration organ, gets at least
part of its support. The CORES
pondent says:
yesterday. in passing through the
General Post Office Department, we
found an emissary from the Office Of
Brig. Gen. Bowman. seemingly cloth
ed with all the authority of official
sanction. demanding. upon the high
wayman's principle Of your money or
your-ofrice.' that each and every
clerk employed should subscribe to a
levy Of six dollars. ostensibly as a
years subscription to weak. imbe-
cile. and Objectionable newspaper. but
for no other purpose than to bolster
up and sustain the fortunes Of one en-
gagged in the publication of paper so
devoid of interest, ability, and enter
prise. that it can not command the
appreciation and support of the pub
lie; hence the efforts To sustain il by a
resort to species of despotism as
CALLING and as odious to any gentle
man as any thing that you can con-
ceive Of"
And then he further adds:
1--WE write these comments with no
pleasure. A duty to the Democratic
party exacts every word we have said
Our candidates throughout the coun-
try can not resist the clamor of cor.
niption, ifa person bearing the relation
that the conductor of the Constitution
assumes to occupy to the Democratic
party, is permitted to commit, in the
name of Democracy, so humiliatine
and corrupting an outrage"

DANIEL WEBSTER'S RESIDENCE IN
WASHINGTON.

DANIEL WEBSTER'S RESIDENCE IN
WASHINGTON.
From letter byN. p. Willis in the Home
Journal, we take the following, suggested by
Il recent visit of the writer to Washington:
with a rainy day and no inhabitants,
Washington, of course, looked as II potatoes
had been dug, but We walked about little,
under an umbrella, and saw the enlargements
of the Capital, and stopped for, u few moments
before the shut doors of one or two houses
made famous by having been once the dwell
lines of men who were of the Sacred Legion
of the SomcboideS '-Benton's and W chster's
among others. The latter, Il small brick tene-
ment of two stories, near the Capitol, is par
tieularly interesting to those WHO knew the
charm of the great Daniel in familiar life
for his thoughts were not always Shoes for
giants i'm world of pigmies.' In the small
dining room i'm the basement Of that house,
and with the simplest of dinners upon the
table, there were leasts of wit and humor, at
which he shone. (say those who were init
mate with him, even more than III the Senate
Chamber. but near by. Here rose Webster
an hour before sunrise, every morning OF the
winter season, and first made all the fires IN
the house. kitchen, bedroom and parlor-( for
ii was thing he had a knack at, and he
loved thus to air his drudge-abilities before
getting upon his pedestal for the day.
Then he took his basket, and walk |
down to the market, to have Il chat with the
butcher. and himself to choose the jointand
the vegetables for the days larder-home
again before his great eyes were loked for by
the curious. And it is Of this earthlier Web
stcr let me say, this noblest of plain merry
fellows, in whose mortal body the great inha-
biting intellect was guest, he was often
weary of thatwe want picture drawn by
some friend who thus remembers him. One
of the best models of humorous practicability
in all literature fancy, is q letter of Web
Ster's dated in this very house ut Washington
and written to the laboring man who was his
farm tenant at Marshfeld. Judge Warren,
of Boston. has possession oft with other speci-
mems of the great statesman's vein of grave
drollery and downrightness IA vein Of which
all mention is strangely omitted in the biog-
raphe, of him) and the Judge, by the way.
whom Webster loved 80 well as the nucleus
of the wit and good fellowship of Boston.
would be the very man to give us the other
picture of his friend-the Marshiield farmer,
with Webster shut up in the unseen brain
chamber where he lodged"

wears. the insured saves one eighth of the amour,
he would otherwise have to pay; or by becoming IL
member, and giving small premium note, the in
sured saves nearly one half Of the amount charged
by Stock Companies. when mSuring from year to
year. This is the advantage resulting from the
combination Of TIE CASH AND MUTUAL
PRINCIPLE.
