qualifled-was to be the President, the
Chief Magistrate of his country. He took
no chances in the lotteries of untimely death
or assassination. He was not the man
to wait for any "dead mans shoes,' or
even to admit or feel that it was fatal mis-
take upon his part not TO have suffered his
friends to have put him in the line of "heir-
ship to such "shoes."
Mr.. Webster was spoken of and urged to
permit his nam6 to be presented to the Wing
National Convention of 184S for the Vice
Presidency but he firmly declined, says
Curtis.
1t was this year (1s4S) doubtless, when
MIR. Weed visited him to urge upon him to
accept such nomination. But cannot be-
lieye that Mr.. Webster ever consented.
Human memory is treaeherous. Thirty-four
years have elapsed since 1S4S. Mr.. Weed is
a very old man; and whilst the ''visit" was
made, there is, to my mind, a serious doubt
as to the correctness. of the details of that
interview.
One other word; if Mr.. Weed is correctly
reported in this interview the "most un-
kindest cut of alp which he gives to his
lifelong friend is where he says at the close,
81 think the pair of curious mishaps did a
good deal to sour him, and perhaps helped
to make him reckless In his personal
habits.o How reckless Mr.. Webster was
not drunkard, nor a debauchee, nor
gambler. IT is true, he sometimes per-
mitted his expenses to exceed his income,
but Mr.. Weeds language implies more than
this, and grounds for that implication
should not have been given. W. G. W.

CooPER's COMPROMISE.
What is Thought of the Stalwart Efforts
tn Patch n Peace in PENNSYLVANIA,

TO RHBch n Ieaee III 1ennsyiSshIltas
The propositions made by the Pennsyl-
vania Stalwart Republicans to the indie
pendent State Committee with view to a
compromise, were given by telegraph in
Yesterdays GAZETTE. A dispatch from
Philadelphia says;
The propositions for new convention
met with some opposition from the more
Stalwart element of the committee, number
ing about one-thrd of its members, who
declared that time was wasted in bargain
ing with men who were irreconeiliable, and
deprecated what looked like surrender and
confession OF wrong. But when Chairman
Cooper, who is regarded as Cameron's
mouthpiece, expressed approval of the propo-
sitions, the opposition abated, and they
were adopted. with resolutions to the effect
that they were offered in good faith, and
that they should be forwarded to the Inde-
pendents. Meantime provision had been
made for the appointment of an executive
committee to aid the Chairman in the cam
paign, and to this committee was intrusted
the arrangement of all the details of the
propositions.
Tonight the Independent candidates and
few OF their leaders are in conference.
They say that they are not authorized to
speak nor act for the State Committee or
the State Convention that these powers
are Lne ONLY uubIIDTlHSa dubHOTiIlES 10 IIlhkc
and unmake tickets, and that they cannot
be readily convened. Further, that they
do not desire to call them together until the
way is clear for practicable proposals to be
offered and received. tt herefore the indie
pendent candidates offer To the regular
candidates that both tickets be entirely
withdrawn, and new convention be sum
moned under new rules to consider new
names only,
If this is agreed to by the regulars the In
dependents say they will advise their organi-
zation to agree to it. Such proposition, it
is safe to say, the regular candidates will
not accept. They will declare that their
ultimatum has been offered in the four propo-
sitions, and the State Committee of the In
dependents must either accept or reject
them. Having rejected them the fight will
go on, and the regulars hope to persuade
the rank and file of their party that the In
dependents have rejected even fair offers
and compromises and are bent on rule or
ruin policy.

In u Lively and Aggressive manner.
PHILADELPHIA, July 12.-After con-
sutation with Secretary Kisner, of the old
Democratic State Committee, Chairman
Hensel yesterday determined not to call a
meeting of the State committee Immediately.
If occasion does not demand it before, u
meeting will be called at the Bolton House,
Harrisburg, at noon Tuesday, July 25, for
the transaction of general business. Mr..
Hensel thinks the propositions of the Stal-
warts to the Independents were offered in
order to be rejected The Independents de-
clining the propositions will, he thinks, give
the other side chance to fall back into line.
The quarrel being between Republicans he
did not care to express decided opinion.
81 can assure you, though" he said, "that
the campaign shall not lag. The Democrats
will not halt until the Republicans have
made all their arrangements, but will i'm
mediately begin an aggressive fight" Head
quarters will not be permanently established
before July 25, but Mr. lIensel will be in
town most of the time. He has been offered
his choice of rooms at the quarters OF
the Young Mems Democratic Association, on
Merriek street, and 1t is very probable that
his permanent headquarters will be estab-
| lished there

west, where there are indications of the east
ward movement of an area of high ba-

The temperature remained nearly stationary
