Could I forget those days gone by, And banish my regret ; Days oftrue love, and purity,— Whose sun hath long since set, — My hours would pass in quiet ease, To meditation given ; My bosom tranquiliz’d,—in peace, May look away to heaven. In evening's twilight pensive hour, With no vain object by ; In some sequester’d moonlit bow'r, Unseen by mortal eye ; How calmly had the soul dreamt on Despite of sighs and tears, Had retrospection’s light not shone, Oft when iny mind hath quell'd the stings, Which wound the joys of earth, — Lo ! mcm'ry’s light returns, and brings, Past scenes that damp my mirth ; Yet,come what will, the heart will play, And laugh at times through tear ; Lit up awhile by virtue's ray, 'Twill banish dark'ning fears.

I wish to notice a little objection I heard to-day concerning our meeting. Some persons have said that this is really the work of the Lord, because nearly all the ‘seekers’ are females ; they alsochallenge us to tell why there is so large a propor tion of the weaker sex engaged. Now 1 will not answer this directly ; but see hem, two years ago I had occasion to preach to the prisoners in your penitentiary. Now how' did it happen that there were more than four hundred males, and but half a dozen of the weaker sex ? Plank roads seem to be gaining ra pid yin public favor, and are being built all over the land. None of these roads in Now York pay less than 20 percent. political. Jlr. Webster's Speech at ISoston. Mr. Webster arrived at the Depot at ! Boston, about 5 o’clock on the 29th ult., I and was drawn to the Revere House in an open barouche, accompanied by the Hon. Rutus Choate and others. He was re ceived by a large crowd and with great enthusiasm. As Mr. WebstPf approach ed, D. K. Curtis addressed him, saying tliß4> his fellow citizens had assembled to welcome him home. They were not po liticians, but they had known his worth, and had gathered together to gleet him. Here were some of the northern laborers, of whom we had heard so much. Where was there a nothern man who was not a laborer? They were sensible of his ef forts to promote and defend the labor of the country. They were aware that the internal improvement of the country had found in him an able advocate. They knew also,that when we were in danger of war with a foreign country, his wise and well directed efforts liad preserved peace and harmony. They knew, also, that we were all citizens of one great country, and that the friends of the Union were their friends, that there was one great party in which all were united, and that was the party of the Union. They were united in expressing the high considera tion of his efforts to preserve the constitu tion—they knew that there were many conflicting influences—any attempt to re concile which could not fail to meet disap probation of some. But they were not about to begin to distrust one who, before they were born, bad secured the confi dence of the community, and had ever since maintained it. At the conclusion of Mr. Curtis's re marks, Mr. Webster arose in the carriage, and spoke for about fifteen minutes, in substance follows: It was with great and sincere pleasure that he met so large an assemblage of his friends, at a time when his private affairs had called him form the seat of govern ment to his own home. As youhavesaid, sir, the duties of the Winter in the public councils of the country have been ardu ous. I atn sorry to say that the public af fairs of the country have not yet made such progress toward satisfactory adjustment as to remove all the anxiety which has been felt account of their adjustment; but 1 feel authorized now to say, there is reason to hope that farther reflection—a generous comparison of vat-iou-t wishes u'l'orn we disagree—will baing about that improved state of public feeling, in the production of which all the expectations of useful legislation must depend. I cannot but feel, sir, that I am in presence of friends. I must regard this gathering as the person al tribute of your welcome to me. You do not welcome the politician, and this is not an opportutiaty for discussing those questions which now agitate the com munity and the Government; questions which can ieave little repose in the mind of an intellectual man,till he can see some probability that from their discussion an adjustment may come, in favor of the pros perity, peace, happiness, and continued union of the country. Gentlemen, I have felt it my duty, on a late occasion to make an effort to bring a bout some melioration of that excited feel ing on this subject which pervades the people of the country every where, North and South—to make an effort also to re store the Government to its proper capa city for discharging the business of the country; let me say it is unable to dis charg that business; that it may regain that capacity, there is necessity for effort, both in Congress and out of Congress; neither you nor I shall see the Legislature of the country proceed in the old harmo nious w ay until the dicussions in Congress and out of Congress, upon the subject to which you have alluded, shall be in some way suppressed; take that truth home with you ; and take it as truth until some thing can he done to allay the feeding now separating men of different sections, there can be no useful and satisfactory legislation in the two houses of Congress. Mr. Curtis, and gentlemen : the common wealth of Massachusetts has conferred on me the honor to place me as one of her representatives in Congress. I have be lieved that she would approve in me any honest, cautious, and sincere efforts to al lay the discussion which we see among the people of the country, and to restore Congress to its constitutional capacity for action. 1 have believed that the common wealth of Massachusetts would support her representative in that course. 1 have believed that a general sentiment of the whole country would favor and encourage their efforts in it, and in that belief I shall not be disappointed—(cheers)—however that may be, that effort 1 shall repeat —(re- newed cheering)—in that course of paci fication l shall persevere regardless of all personal consequences. (Three cheers.) 1 shall minister to no local prejudices. 1 shall support no agitations, having their foundation in real ghosty obstruction.— (Laugnter and cheers ) I shall say nothing which may foster the unkind passions—separatingthe North from the South—may my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, before it may utter any sentiment which shall increase the agitation in the public mind on such a subject. (Cheers.) Sir, I have said that this is not an occasion for political discus sion. I confess that if the time and cir- . . ■ _ ' '.j ■ BOOK AND JOB PRINTING, j Will 6e executed in the most approved sty and on the best terms,at the Office of the 3CTTHEHIT TPJ3TJWE -BY-, WM. B. HARRISON. | cumstances gave an opportunity, I should not be indisposed to address the people of Massachusetts directly upon the duty which the present exigencies of affairs has i devolved upon her, this great and glorious 1 Commonwealth— upon the duty at least : which it devolves upon us who represent her in the national legislature, this will not be such an opportunity. I shall have oc casion, in my seat in the Senate, to which I shall immediately return, to give my opinions u|>on some topics of an interesting character—topics in regard to gome of which there exist both in mistatement and misapprehension— the greatest mistate ment, the greatest misapprehension, as I conceive, 1 may simply mention one of these topics—the delivery of fugitives from service. With regard to that ques tion there exist the greatest predjudices, the greatest misapprehenskns. I do not wonder at the misapprehensions. lam well aware that is a topic which must ex cite prejudices. 1 can very well feel what | the predijuces are which it must very naturally bring up in the minds of the good people of this commonwealth. But, Mr. Curtis, and gentlemen, there are in regard to that topic, duties absolute ly incumbent on the commonwealth— duties imposed by the constitution—abso lutely incumbent on every person who ho and office in Massachusetts : under her own constitution and Jaws, and those of the nation, she is bound and persons are hound, in the discharge of the duty—a disagreeable duty—to discharge that dutv as an affair of high morals and high prin ciples. We ask her to resolve -upon the performance of duty—though it be a disa greeable duty. Any man can perform an agreeable duty : but it is not every matt who can perform a disagreeable duty.: Any man can do what is altogether pleas ant. The question now is whetner Masa chusetts—whether the old state of Mass., improved by two centuries of civilization, renowned for her intellectual character, mighty in her moral power, conspicuous before the world, a leading state in this country ever since it was a country, a lea ding state m the Union ever since it was a Union—the question is whether Massa chusetts will shrink from, or come to a fait and reasonable and moderate perfor mance, and no more than a fair and rea sonable and moderate performance of her sworn obligations. 1 think she will— (cheers.) NUMBER 18 Sir, the question is whether she will bo just to the truth, against temptation—■ whether she will (Wend herself against her own prejudices. She has conquered every thing else in her time ; she has con quered this ocean which was her shore, she has conquered her inflexible climate, she has fought her way to the universal respect of the world, she has conquered every body’s prejudices but her own— the question is, whether she will conquer her own prejudices. I shall return to the Senate to put that question to her, in pres ence of ihat Common mother who snail deal it to her heart, (cheers.) In the meantime, let me repeat that T tread no step backward (cheers.) lam devoted to the restoration of peace, har mony, concord out of Congress, and such a degree of mutual co-oporation in Con gress, as may enable it to carry on onco the legitimate business of the Government. The Union, for the preservation of which I strive—the union of law, of constitution, of compact; but while it is that,. it is a union of brotherly regard, of fraternal feeeling throughout the whole country. I do not wish that any portion of the peo ple of this country shall feel held together only by the bounds of a legal corporation bonds which some of them might think restrained their limbs, cramped their af fections, galled and worried them. On the contrary, that they shall be bound togeth er by those unseen, soft,easy sitting chains, that result from generous affectious, aud from a sense of common interest and com mon pride; in short, fellow cizitens, my desire and my labor is, to see that state of things produced in which filling all bosoms with gratitude, all hearts with joy—illu minating all faces, spreading through all ranks of people, whether rich of poor— whether North, South, East or West, there shall exist the balm of all our suffer ing, the great solace of all political calami ties, in the great and glorious future, and that is the love of a united Government. Mr. Webster closed amidst vociferous cheering, which lasted for some time. IrTT* An infidel remarked, within the hearing of a little girl of thirteen, that all things came by chance, and that the world like a mushroom spiang up in the night.— “I should like to know, sir,” asked she, “where the seed came from.” If a man could have half his wishes he would double his troubles.
