DANIEL WEBSTER.

Mr.. EDIroR-In looking over notes
and memorandumS made over quarter
of 4 century past, | find an extract from
an address delivered by the Hon. Edward
Everett, on the occasion of unwilling
| the statue of Daniel Webster before the
State House in Boston worthy of being
transmitted to your many readers. who
have come upon the stage of life and ac-
ton since that period. Mr.. Everett, in
speaking Of the great speech made by
Mr.. Webser, in reply To the resolution
and great argument offered by the dis
tinguished Senator from South Carolina,
(Mr. Haynes) on the Notification ques-
ton. Mr.. Everett used the following
eloquent and stirring language:
Il passed an hour or more with Mr..
Webster the evening before his great
effort. and he read over to me from IA
very concise brief, the main topics OF
the speech which he had prepared for
the following day, SO calm and unim-
FASHIONED was the memorandum, 50 en-
tirely was he at ease, that was tempted
to think that he was not sufficiently
aware of the magnitude of the occasion.
But | soon perceived that his calmness
was the repose of conscious pOrer. lie
was not only at ease but sportive and
full of anecdotes. and he told the SEN
ate playfully the next day, as he slept
soundly that night on the formidable as
sault of his gallant and accomplished adj
versary, SO the Condo slept on the eve Of
the battle of Rocsui and So did Alexan.

his iavorite amuSemebt) he was as un-
concerned and free of spirit as some here
have often seen him, while floating in
his fishing boat, along hazy shore gen.

ping his line here and there with the
varing fortune of the sport. But the
next morning he was like some mighty
Admiral, dal k and terrible, casting the
long shadow of his frowning tiers of
guns far over the sea, that seemed to |
sink beneath him, his broad pennant
streaming at the main. The glorious
Stars and Stripes at the fore; the Mizzen
and at the Peak, and bearing down like
tempest upon his antagonist, with all
his canvass spread to the wind and all
his thunders roaring from his broad

presidential electors at large; and by sub
conventions to nominate district elector
for each congressional district that shal
not previously have nominated a candi
date for elector.
Resolged, That congressional distric.
conventions he held as follows:
First District-In Chestertown, Tues
day, April Gath, at p. VI.
Second District-Same date, same hour
at Waverly, Baltimore county.
Third District date, same hour
in Baltimore city.
Fourth District-Same date, same hour,
in Baltimore city, China Hall.
Fifth District-Same date, u o'clock
noon, at Annapolis.
Sixth District-Same date, II o'clock
noon, at Rockville.
And that such conventions when as
| sembled shall either nominate a candi-
date for elector for such district, and two
| delegates to represent the district in the
national convention 9 Chicago, or refer
! such nominations and election to the del
egates who shall represent such district
in the state convention hereby called, as
| it may prefer.
"Reso1ced, That primary elections and
county conventions be held in each
county to elect delegates to said District
and State conventions; said primary
elections and county conventions to be
held at such places, and such hours, and
subject to such rules and regulations as
may be prescribed by the members CT
the State Central Committee for the va
| rious counties: and in event of the State
Central Committee of any county de-
Ginning to act, their powers shall be ex-
erclsed by the local county committee;
or if they prefer to delegate their power
to their county local committee, they are
at liberty to do so; that the matter of
| holding the primaries in Baltimore city,
| and arranging their representation in the
conventions be arranged by members Of
the State Central Committee for Balti-
more city; the members of said commit
tee to be convened by the executive COM
mittee of the State Central Committee
| for Baltimore city, or 4 majority thereof.
To effect a temporary organization in
| such conventions, held under this call
the chairman of this committee be di-
rected to name some member of the State
Central Committee, residing in the Con-
gressiona. district, to call said conven-
tons to order, and to preside until an or
/ ganization is Effected
| During the convention there was very
t little talk about candidates for President
and more consideration was given to the
probable candidates for Congress and
delegates to the National convs ntion.
The new method of selecting the dele
gates by districts was very generally
favored. The idea of nominating candi-
dates for Congress at the convention to
be held on April 24th was not generally
approved, as it would make their cam
paign too long.

THE FOWL QUESTION.

DEAR WHICH, [ mistake not, the
fowl question has not been correctly
solved yet. 1t is not foul problem at
all. Where and how the 81 was lost by
the transaction was what was required.

insertion in THE WING.
First day A sells 80 chickens for $50
First day B sells 90 chickens for 81 10
So
Second day A sells the same number
each for S24. A glance at the two trans
actions shows loss of 81. A and b
sold the first day } for So and A the

STATE CONVENTION MEETS.
Meeting of the State Central Committee In
BaltimOre-The State Convention to be
Held in Hagerstown on May 1.-The
Primary Elections.

The Republican State Central Com
mittee of Maryland, met on Wednes-
day at noon in Lyric Hall, corner OF
ST. Paul and Lexington streets, Balti-
more. The members were called to
order by MIR. James A. Gary, the chair
man, who presided, with James G.
Caulk, secretary, and F.. Wright New
man, of Prince Georges, assistant
secretary.
In calling the Committee to order
Mr.. Gary called attention to the dissat-
isfed condition of the Democratic party
and asked his listeners to note the fact
that the Republican party in Maryland
last fall polled the greatest vote it had
ever given a candidate, even in a
Presidential contest. He said num-
Der of Democrats, who had formerly
been old line Wings led him to believe
they would hereafter vote the Republi-
can ticket. He strongly urged the con-
vention to conform to the recommen-
tlation to elect delegates to the National
convention by districts.
The delegations from the various
counties were full. Cecil was repre-
senteI by Townsend Pool, H. r. Tor
bert, George S. Christie and d. K.
Ralston.
Several sets of resolutions were pre-
sented and referred, and the Commit
tee took recess.
The Committee met again about :,
o'clock, and the Committee on Reso-
lutions presented their report, which
was discussed and after amendment,
was unanimously adopted, as follows &:
Resolred, That the Republican State
Convention be held in ITagerstown, on
Thursday, May list, at noon, to select
four delegates at large and four alternates
to represent the State of Maryland in the
national convention to be held at Chicago

The Congressional session is over
three months old. and has filled the
time of the entire short session, but
thus far, out of the five thousand bills,
presented, only forty-one have passed
the House, and only five bills and nine
joint resolutions have passed both
Houses and become laws. Not a
single appropriation bill has passed,
and only two have been considered in
either House. Mark twain once said
of himself that there might be and
probably were lazier people than he,
but they were dead.

In the very lively hunt which is now
going on quite generally all over the
country for expressions of preference
for Republican Presidential candidates
it is noticeable that with some positive
some partial, and some indifferent an
swers which are returned to inquiries
there are no attacks made upon those
candidates who are not preferred. The
contest thus far appears to be devoid
of bitterness and intense partisanship.
There is no reason to believe that the
nominee of the convention, whoever
he may be, will not receive the cordial
support of the Republican party every
where.
