Webster's One Chance.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
Daniel Webster, Incompatible as orator
and defender Of the Constitution, never had
but one really good chance to become Pres
ident, and that he put aside, for the very
good reason that it was unworthy of him
and his great reputation.
The Mexican war had brought General
Zachary Taylor into the foreground as
candidate for the presidency, and some Of
the whig managers proposed to nominate
Mr.. Webster as Vice President.
Had Mr.. Webster accepted second place
on this ticket he would have become Presi-
dent Of the United States on Tay1or's
death.
Mr.. Webster Indignantly refused to ac-
cept the second place on the ticket, but
Mr.. Clay's defeat in 1874 had made many
wings afraid to take him again as a candi-
date. Mr.. Webster, on the other hand, was
thought to be entirely too Independent.
On President Taylor's death, July 9, 1850,
Mr.. Webster became President F1llmore's
Secretary of State An earnest attempt
was made by his friends to secure his NOM
ination for the presidency In 1852, but on
the first ballot in the convention he re-
ceived only 20 votes, while there were 131
for General Scott and 1873 for Mr.. Fillmore
The result was a great disappointment to
Mr.. Webster, who refused to support the
nomination and took no part in the cam
paign. His death followed soon after, on
October "a, 1852. ~

ADDITION to carrying lumber, is utilized for
the transportation of passengers--one way

teoks. tie line only runs one way, and that

travel, or perhaps 1t would be better to say
shoot, is a E-shaped box about sixteen feet
long. and which is roughly knocked to-
gether with boards, since it is good for
one trip only" The front end of the
strange craft is left of, as the velocity of
the water Is SO great, despite the speed of
