From the Madisonian. “ The Globe” of August 10th last, published from the“C adleor Liberty” an abolition print, an account of a“ Women’s Convention” held at the house of Nathan Webster, in Haverhill, Mass, at which a few probably, over heated females pas sed resolutions tespecling “distinebon of color.” and very significantly inquires, (designing to in timate that such is the fact,) ‘‘whether Na nan Webster, at whose house the meeting was he d. is not a cousin or relative of Daniel Webster,” (meaning Hon. Daniel Webster ot the Senate U. S.) being well acquainted with those gentle men. I am able to info<m the Globe and its rea ders, hat “Nathan Webster” is not a relative of Hon. Dame Webster, and is probably w holly un known to him. and further, that this Nathan Web ster is an active member of the Giobe party, and advocates the destructive measures of Walker, Buchanan, and Tappan. And further, that he was a zealous ana active Federalist until about 1833. when tbe Morton party having obtained a majority in Haverhill, he went over to that party, and was elected by that party a representative to the Massachusetts House. He is an avowed Ab olitionist. and has since 1833 been an active par tisan of Morton and Van Buren, and as such was elected in 1835 and 1836 to the General Court, j And at t&is very lime he is a candidate for the Massachusetts Senate on the Loco Morton ticket “ Tne South" will learn from this statement, w hat reliance to pDce on the insinuations and state ments of the Globe on the subject of abolition ; and will be assisted properly to reprobate the dis honest meanness of this mendacious print, "V ehitas.

York, On Friday evening, seems to have carried a way all hearers. The glowing eulogiura pro nounced in the annexed extract, from the Times, is we are assured, not exaggerated : His speech, last night, was the most vigorous and beautiful appeal to the intellect and the heart, that we remember to have heard even from his bps. His reasoning was demonstrati n, his r illustrations weie poetry. He traced through all - its turnings and windings the financial policy of the Administration, and commented upon tneir arrogance and their blunders, with a sarcasm that was absolutely consuming. Xu man who beard his exposition of the false p inciples the con traded. unphilosopbical, petty views of the small oeer statesman who now conducted the affairs of our Government, could fail to feel that ibis great nation had been the victim, not only of political knavery, Sul of drivell ng imbecility. One of the most beautiful portions of Mr. Legate’s har angue was his eologium on the mercantile cla-s. After describing the manner in w hich the mer chants h-id been persecuted and hunted down by this Administration, he proceeded lo speak of their c airns to the parental care and protection of Government. They did the bu-iness of the country at their own risk ; they were the great promoters of civilization, the peace-makers of the world. By whom was the war upon the merchants, upon the whole business of the coun try, directed? By a sen of New Yont. But she would repair the error she had cornu.itted in assisting him to the Presidential chair. Unlike the mother of Nero who, on being told that if be were male Emperor, she would be put to death, exclaimed “ Let him reign tbougn I perish I” Lnlike the incestuous Agrippina. New York would immolate her son rattier than her sen ! should immolate the libert.es of the People.— Mr. Legare spoke with great fervor and eloquence of the wide spread demoralization which must necessarily fl .w from the maxim which the Ad mini'tration party has avowed, and upon which the Government acted “to the victors belong the spoils. He quoted the passage in Tacitus, where the historian, after picturing in a few bold outlines the convulsions, political and natural, which marked the bloodiest epoch in the hislorv of imperial Rome, referred to the fa t that spits and informers were employed bv the Govern ment, and that the tools and instruments cf po litical profl gacy were invested with the highest dignities of the Empire, as the climax of the in famy and degradation of the once proud mistress of the world. Such, be said, was the policv, such were the agents and officials of Martin Van Buren. The casting out of the men now in power would be a work of pur flcalion. That would be done. The day had come—judgement had been passed, and he moved for execution. ’ From the Sew York American. Foreign Rambles. GIIKCIB AT MIS ISD THIMGB. Boston, September, 1840. In traversing the counties of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, on the East side of England. I have been struck with the similarity in the names of the towns and those in Eastern Massachusetts— a strong indication that the goodly New England State was settled by emigrants from this p art of old Englaad. I could not feel like a foreigner in Ipswich, Chelmsford. Malden. Braintree. Wal tham. Linn, Attleboro, Hmghara, Sudbury, Hav erhill, Stow. Malboroor Needham, and I an, quite at home here in Boston. Identity of language (strengthens the delusion. But the charm is ea sily broken. This is not the Boston. Nor are these plains extending for scores of miles, with scarce an elevation to rest the eye upon—these p r, ne hedgerows; these tile-roofed villages, whose j Church bells have tolled the knell of centuries— j these vilely clad women and children gleaning j the harvest fields lo gather the straws which . the hand of parsimony has dropped—these don key carts creeping to maiket with the laboring . j man’s pittance—Tnese haughtv liveries, lavish . i of powder and pomp —these, these, are not the I England; who would exchange them fur the free . air, the free soil, the flee lands of that Land of the forest and the rock, (>f dark b ; ue ake and mighty river, : Os mountains reared a oft "to mock, i The storm’s career the lightnings shock — Mr UWS GREEN LAND FOREVER ! ; Through the ziz-zig route we followed from I Ipswich to Boston, furnished many objects of in -1 terest l will barely allude to two or three of them. M There was Bury-St-Edmunus with its great Ab- I hey built by W illiam the Conquerer, now a pile 1 or ruins covering many acres. An extensive bo -3 lanical garden, fringed and interwoven with eve -1 ry variety of plants and flowers, occupies what • was once the interior quadrangle of the Abbev. Two of the main gateways, in good p'eseivauon, impress the beholder with all that is chaste and | majestic in the comlgnatu ;i of Nor an with Sax- j ou Architecture. Some handsome dwelling houses have recently been inserted in the old | Walls, and their gay modern windows, green j doors, and red roofs muig.mg witu the hoary intkjuitv of the A: bcy.g.ve »t a romantic and I unique appearance. \ We slopped in Cambridge long enough to ad mire one ot the choicest of Gotnic work in England, the Chap pel of King’s College; and to eaten a glimpse at :he flowing gowns and brisk caps of Ihe literary loiterers on the banks of the -classic Cam.’ Returning from a ram ble through ihe croaked streets of the town—in w hich there is an odd mixture of meanness with magnificence—we found our post-chase at the ho tel door. Promising ourselves another visit to Cambridge after we had seen its rival, Oxford, our horses leaped lorward towards Huntingdon shire, the birth-place and residence of Oliver Cromwell, the hum le brewer of Huntingdon, the puritan farmer ot St. Ives, the matcnlessconquer- i or at Naseby.and the far-sighted and high mind ed Proctor of .he British commonwealth. Those who have copied Cromwell's character Irora the prejudiced pages of Hume and Goldsmith, will wonder that we lingered two or three days with increasing interest mound the youthful haunts of this •• Hypocrite and Usurper.” B t. so it is. Our hearts swelled as we stood ou the spot ot his birth in the homely iittie town of Huntingdon. Even the dust on the walls ol its old school-room, where Cromwell's Desk is shown, was precious in our sight. We spent gratifying hou's in look ing at his hand writing (bold and strong, like the man) inserted on the C..urch records when he was warden of St. Ives, and in waking thro’ the house and over the farm Ue so long occupi ed ir. that retired village, when training his mind and bean for that struggle whose < arthquake was to topple bead-long the sanctified corruption of ages. Our flee blood grew warm in riding over the plains cultivated by the independents o Hun tingdonshire—the “Ironsides’’ ot the revolutiona ry army wnocn Cromwell fired wiiu a hatred of Kijgiy and Priestly ryianny. which, in after year?, marshalled ly nts 'kill in the fie.d, swept to rum the legions of an arrogant court and hier archy. like chaff before the w hirlwind. All this may seem wild enthusiasm. But, who that loves freedom ot consc ence in religious faith and eclesi astical government, will not admire the cold and consistent champion of this priceless principle ? An impartial oiograpbv of Oliver Cromwell is yet to be written. Royalists have discoursed of him. He said to Sir Harry Vase, "I would a> soon put my sword through the heart of me king as that ot any other man. What a rent in the sacred veil which shrouded the anointed tyrant! J’he startling truth— the King is bct a man streamed through it. Churchmen have written or him. He abolished the monopoly of their E'lablishmenl, stabled bis troopers in tzeir Ca j ihcdiais. and seeing twelve silver statues in the niches of the chapter-house at York Minster, ask ed the trembling Dean. - What are these!” -The twelve Apostles. "Take them down and coin them into money, that th«y go about doing good like thru Master.” Scotch Presbyterians have capped at him. He dashed in pieces their iron system and erected Independency on its ruin?. Infidel historians have b otted his charact er. He preached and prated wim the Puritans of Huntingdonshire. Literary aristocrats have lampooned him. He came up from the mos— wrested the plate of Cambridge University from the royalists who were an >ut to mHt it down for the use of Charles—imprisoned the heads of the Colleges for disobey ing the orders of parliament —and more than all. wa- no poet, knew hale of \ irgil. and wrote in a lumbering. entangled stvie.

Arid such. r« pu' u ans He ground them to fmw der. because, under the name of Freedom, they plotted to restore monarchy, and lo bring back the gags, and dungeons, and faggott* of the ec clesiastic. 1 here have lived hose who have even disputed the talents of Cromwell. But. the tact stands out bes re the world, that an obscure in dividual without title, property, or influential friends, created the means and trained the men, winch, under h;s leaJer-l p. conquered in manv a field and against fearful odds, the hereditary chivairy ot England. \\ aen the ts?ue afterwards came—who shad consolidate and govern the new commonwealth! -the scores ot great minus around , the revolutionary council-board of 1650, found a mailer spirit among them, whose altitude thev had never measured. T. e brewer became the Protector, and the farmer of St. Ives gave law lo Britain. Nor did he. in the height of bis power, despise the steps by wnich he ascended.
