Baltimore, Oct. 24, 9 25, a. m,
Ji(r. Webster died at two minutes before
three o’clock this (Sunday) morning. His
family Mtd friends ware at his bedside. He
was ftilly conscious of his situation, anil his
intellect was unclouded, so much so that he
made up a dispatch for his Department at
Washington oil Thursday. His disease -was
inflamntion of the bowels.
At ten o’clock on Saturday might lie ,par
ted with bis family and friends, and .prayed
loud and fervently, calling on liie God, to
forgive his sins through the merits, of .Jesus
Christ. He closed all his private affairs
and died expressing great.resignation- His
hut moments ,werc.so>eoini, that lie seemed
to h ave fallen wteep.
Death of Mr. Webster!
A mation of freemen now mourn the loss
of the .hut of .the greet, .the incomparably
greet triumvirate. Clay, ’Cailhoun and Web

We ean scarcely realize its truth! But
yesterday liifl eloquence enchained a Senate
and carried joy to the hearts of millions of
freemen while battling for the Constitution
of hie country, and striving to maintain the
Union of the States. And who docs not
recollect biff exclamation, in his speech at
Buffalo, While speaking of his duty in ad-
ministering the Constitution, «0 God,
will be just” But he is gone. The great
Eastern Light is suak forever. His body is
laid in the tomb, but his name lives in
hearts of his countrymen, and his fame is
indellibly written in his country’s history

We have before alluded to the fact that
the disnnionists have been electioneering for
Gen. Scott.- This we presume will not.be
denied, ns most every observer of passing
events has noticed it. The Scott men know
their motive, and treat it with contempt.
If those men were not gross, imposters, thqy
would not be found electioneering for one
man and-voting .for another. .What Is .the
motive at the bottom of this matter ? ,It is
this—they know that there are a great ma

men who from patriotic motives have thrown
