Daniel Webster and His Traducers.
The New York Express administers a Just
rebuke TO an aspiring political preacher by the
name Of CUYLYR, who DETAINED the memory OF
DANIEL WEBSTER by stating that his life was
shortened by his A" unhappy use of aIcoh Ollie
stimulants," and by the melancholy disap-
pointment that grew out OF his fatal 9TH of
March speech" The Express gives this cIeri-
cal vampire" some suggestions which may
make him " unhappy " and melancholy ~ for
a time, but which will q o him coed if he care
fully avails himself of them. One of tbass
hehlthful truths is that obscuritv doas no,
gain importance by letting of it's little arrowa
at a shining mark; or, in the words of the Gran,
dramatist, that
"Plsmies are pismes still, tho perohed on
And pyramids are pyramids in valesn

ooms apprehension has been expressed. lest
y general war, by diyerting enterprise and
sdpital 10 other objects, should interfere with
the progress OF this work. We learn that sncb
an eyent was taken into calculation nv TIA
contracting parties, and due allowance made
f,r every untoward circumstance that could
possibly happen. Even dissolution of the
Union-avery remote contingency, we are in
elinsd to think-was duly considered. The re-
suit IL before the world. If there should be no
general war In Europe, and no dissolution of the
Union. the company calculate, with certainty,
on finishing the Improvement in four or five
years. But II the Union should be dissolved
&nd war should again become chronic in Eu-
rope. then ii will take them eight years, as
called for by tbs contract. They gave them
