it not been for Mr.. GALEs, the great intellec-
tual combat between IIAYNE and WEBSTER,
for example, would have passes into vague
tradition, perhaps.
The original notes Of Mr.. NEB~TEEs
speech, low In Mr.. GALES library, form a
volume Of several hundred pages, having
been corrected and interlined by the states
mans own hand, present treasure that
might be enyied At the period just alluded
to, Mr.. GALES had given up the practice OF
reporting any speeches, and it was a mere
accident that led him to pay Mr.. WEBSTER
the compliment in question. That II was
appreciated was proved by many reciprocal
acts of kindness and the long and happy in
timacy that existed between the two gentle
men, ending only with the life Of the states
man. 1t was Mr.. WEBsTER's opinion that
the abilities of Mr.. GALES were Of the high
est order; and yet the writer has heard Of
one instance in which even the editor could
not get along without a helping hand. Mr..
GALES had for some days been engaged up
on the Grand Jury, and, with his head full
Of technicalities, entered upon the duty Of
preparing a certain editorial. In doing this,
unconsciously employed number oflegal
phrases, and when about half through,
found it necessary 10 come to a halt. At
this juncture he dropped a note to Mr.,
WEBSTER, transmitting the unfinished ar
ticle, and explaining his difficulty. Mr..
WEBSTER took it in hand, finished it to the
satisfaction Of Mr. GALES, andit was publish
ed as editorial.
