At a dinner given in his honor in
Philadelphia Colonel A. K. Mcclure,
the editor of the Philadelphia Times,
told the following story relating to
his first newspaper venture, started
some so years ago: II well remem-
ber the case of frugal farmer of
the bunker persuasion who was suf-
fciently public spirited to subscribe
for The Sentinel for six months to
get the paper started, but at the end
of that period he had calculated the
heavy expenses of gathering the
ripening harvest and decided to stop
his paper for awhile. Ineed not say
that he was enthusiastically con-
fronted with many reasons why a
man of his intelligence and influ-
ece should not be without the coun-
ty newspaper, but he yielded only
to the extent of further considering
the matter with his wife. He re-
turned in a few days and spread
sunshine around the editorial chair
by saying that his wife had decided
to continue for another six months,
as the paper would be very handy
in the fall for tying up her apple
butter crocks.''

EMERSON AND WEBSTER.
The Great Political Battle Between the Two
Master Minds.

The Great Political Battle Between the Two
Master Minds.
It was the detection of Daniel
Webster that completed the conver-
sion of Emerson and turned him
from an adherent into propagan-
dist of abolition. Not pity for the
slave. but indignation at the viola
ton of the moral law by Webster
was at the bottom of Emerson's S an
ger. After the 7th of March, 1850,
he recognized in Webster the en-
bodiment of all that he hated. In
his attacks on him Emerson trem-
bled to his inmost fiber with a1tago-
nism. No other nature ever SO
moved him, but it was time to be
moved, and Webster was man of
his size. Had these two great men
of New England been matched in
training as they were matched in
endowment, and had they then faced
each other in debate they would
not have been found to differ 80
greatly in power. Their education
differed SO radically that it is impos-
sible to compare them, but if you
translate the Phi Beta Kappa adj
dress into politics you have some
thing stronger than Webster-some-
thing that recalls Chatham. And
Emerson would have had this ad
vantage that he was not afraid. As
it was, he left his library and took
the stump
In an address he said of Webster:
"In Massachusetts in 1776 he would
beyond all question have been ref
ugee He praises Adams and Jeffer-
son, but it is a past Adams and JEFF
ferson. A present Adams or Jeffer-
son he would denounce. But one
thing appears certain to me-that
the Union is at an end as soon as an
immoral law is enacted" T"
The evaporation of Emerson did
not subside, but went on increasing
during the next four years, and in
1854 he read his lecture on 1.-The Flu
gitive Slave Law" at the New York
tabernacle, in which he said: II
never felt the check on my free
speech and action until the other
day, when Mr.. Webster by his per-
sonal influence brought the fugitive
slave law ON the country. / say Mr..
Webster, for though the bill was
not his, it is yet notorious that he
was the life and soul of it, that he
gave it all he had.
1t was too late for Emerson TO
shine as a political debater. Long
fellow wrote in his diary, ut is
rather painful to see Emerson in
the. arena of politics, hissed and
hooted at by young law students. F"
Emerson records similar expert
ence at later date, "The mob roar
ed whenever I attempted to speak,
and after several beginnings with
drew" There is nothing painful
here. 1t is the sublime exhibition of
a great soul in bonds to circum-
stance Emerson by his writings did
more than any other man to rescue
the youth of the next generation
and fit them for the fierce times TO
follow. twill not be denied that he
sent 10000 sons to the war.-John
