RcmIniscence Of Daniel Web

[From thc 81. Paul Prcss. !

From the St Paul Press. ...
Gone Of the highest exhibitions ofthe
general subject the world ever witnessed
was that of Daniel Webster, when, in
an open barouche in the streets of Bos-
ton, he proclaimed to vast assemblage
of his coustitueuts-unwilling hearers
that they mad conquered an uncon-
genial cline, they had conquered the
winds aud elements of the ocean, they
had conquered most of the elements of
nature, but they must yet learn to con-
quer their prejudiees, alexander IL

This is glowing strain. But what
was the occasion of Daniel Webster's

made from an open barouche, but from
a table in front of the Revere House"

Stephens is right and the Indepcn-
dent wrong. Having been present on
the occasion, we distinctly recollect all
the circumstances, and particularly that
Mr. Webster stood in the carriage. Mr..
Benjamin r. Curtis, afterward Justice
of the United States Supreme Cour3,
made the welcoming address, standing
on a table in front OF the Revere. Tho
windows of the building were crowded
with ladies', among them Mrs. HARRISON
Gray Otis, who threw bouquets into the
carriage,
1t was on the 25th of April. The
feeling Of disappointment, indignation,
aud regret, excited by Mr.. Wcbster's
18th of March speech, and his support of
the compromise measures, was at its
height Three-fourths Of his political
friends refused to endorse his course,
and the masses received him in sullen
silence. Faneuil Hall was closed TO him,
and he was escorted from the depot to
the Revere House by few personal
friends in carriages. But the square
around the hotel was densely packed

The Connecticut Election.

At the time Of going to press we have
not learned fully the result Of the cleo
ton in Connecticut, which took place
on Monday last. Returns were in from
al of the State but 10 small towns,
showing, it is said, majority Of about
700 votes for Ilawlcy, Radical, over
English, Democrat, for Governor At
all events it has been a very close. as
well as exciting contest; and If the Ra

ence as people living under Federal
and State law, no such system as that
contemplated BY the details of this bill
has ever before been proposed or adop-
ted They establish, for the security
of the colored race, safeguards which
go infinitely beyond any that the Gene
raj Government has ever provided for
the white race. In fact, the distinction
of race and color is, by the bill, made to
operate in favor of the colored and
against the white race. They interfere
with the municipal legislation OF the
States, with the relations existing ex-
clusively between State and its citi-
zens, or between inhabitants of the same
State--an absorption and assumption Of
power by the General Government
which, il acquiesced in, must sap aud
destroy our fedcrative system of limited
powers, and break down the barriers
which preserve the rights of the States.
1t is another step, or rather stride to-
wards Capitalization and the coneentra-
ton of all legislative powers in the
National Government The tendency
of the bill must be TO resuscitate the
spirit Of rebellion, and to arrest the pro-
gress of those influences which are
more closely drawing around the States
the bonds of union aud peace.
My lamented predecessor, in his
proclamation of the LIST of January,
1868, ordered and declared that all
persons held as slaves within certain
States and parts of States therein dc.
signated were and thenceforward should
be free, and, further that the Executive
Government of the United States, inclu-
ding the military and naval authorities
thereof, would recognize aud maintain
the freedom Of such persons. This
guarantee has been rendered especially
obligatory and sacred By the amend
ment Of the Constitution atolishlug
slavery throughout the United States -
therefore fully recognize the obliga-
ton to protect aud defend that class Of
our people, whenever and wherever It
shall become necessary, and TO the iull
extent compatible with the Constitution
Of the United States, Entertaining
these sentiments, il only remains for
me to say that / will cheerfully cooper
ate with Congress 10 any measure that
may be necessary for the protection Of
the civil rights of the freedmen as we'll
as those Of all other classes OF persons
throughout the United States, by judi.
cial process under equal and impartial
laws, in conformity with the provisions
Of the Federal Constitution.

a johnson man, exposed the Stevens

to prevent going into joint conven.

until they agreed to support conscrya-

among the radicals of New Jersey and

auspices, at the Maryland Institute, on
Monday evening at Z o'clock. The i'm

by hundreds of gas jets, and gaily deco
rated with national flags, the various ia
blcs and stands being adorned will,
flowers and cvergreens, and loaded with
elegant articles ofgreat value and inter-

The Hall was perfectly crowded with
visitors, about seven thousand tickets
having been sold, hundreds being una

sufferers Of the South, and to help in
this kindly way to mollify the wounded

them the strong chains of love and
affection should by DO means neglect
any opportunity to patronisc this Fair.
