Gentlemen : I regret, exceecliugiy, my inability to meet the friends of Mr. Webster this evening, as 1 was in some sense pledged to do, but indispensable domestic engage- ments forbid me that pleasure. Nothing, in my judgment, can be more appropriate, and, I may add, more just, than for the American people to honor the name and memory of Daniel Webster ; for we all participate in the honor which he has conferred upon his country. When Mr. Webster's great ett'ort was made, in 1830, to prostrate ...nullification, I deemed it my duty, although as you know, I did not belong to the same political party with him, to unite with other citizens of New York, in conferring public honor upon Mr. Webster for this ser- vice, and I have never seen occasion to regret it ; his political course, from that time to the day of his death, justified the opinion I then formed of his ability and his patriotism. ■ I cannot better express my feelings on hearing that our illustrious countryman was no' longer numbered among the living, than by adopting the sx^ntiments em- "braced in the resolutions passed unanimously hy the Democratic Republican General Committee, which I beg leave to transcribe : ''Resolved, That estimating civil liberty as the first of 52 earthly blessings, and the Constitution of these United States as the ark of its safety for our countrymen, and of its promise to the nations yet lingering in political bond- age, we receive, with emotions of profoundest sorrow, the melancholy announcement that Daniel Webster, who was but yesterday the most eminent citizen of this republic, and of that constitution the most illustrious defender, has ceased to live.
