State Convention Our Whig brethren are beginning to consider and discus tlio question as to the most proper time tor holding a Whig Suite Convention, It seems to be taken for granted that such Convention will be held in the course of the coming Winter; and if so, it ii well t hut tlm public mind should bu agitated in relation to It. It seems to be understood furtlur, that the primary object of the Convention wilt bo to take measures in relation to our losnl, it ale politics. Wc suggest that it need not necessarily be exclusively ho. A national election wilt Irausptro within a year from tin time; and the Wlnya ot Ohio have a prominent part in tint Election. Ohio in the, strongest Bute in the Union tint can be confidently relied upon at Whig. She gave, a stronger Whijj vote at the last election than any other State. This fact planes her in a coin-minding position among her sister Stairs, and entitles her preferences to very respectful consideration in the National Convention, when fixing upon the candidates for President and Vice President. At least two of her ow cilizennaare mentioned with reference to that position; but hitherto no measures have been adopted so fur as wc are apprised, to collect and give utterance to the wishes of the Whig of the State on that subject. Tn a matter of this sort, public opinion should be cunsu'tal, not manufactured, We take it that whether the Stale Convention shall consist of delegates only, or of the masses, it will be preceded by preliminary conventions held in the counties. These latter will affird suitable opportunities for Unpeople of the respocli ve counties to compare notes, and form and express their opinions. We would be glad to see Conventions called in the several counties, to deliberate upon the ull'tirs of the State and Nation ; and we see no reason for delay in tho matter. If the Slate Central Committee do not act, it is probably Because tli'-y are not apprised of the wishes of their fellow citizen. Hut the people in the counties can art for themselves, without the intervention of that Committee and we are persuaded the Central Committee will not be tardj in its action, when apprised of the wishes uf those they so prudently represent.L"t not the people, then, wait the octiun of the Central Committee, but let them rather by their own ex-amide provoke their agents to good works. Let meel. For trio Ohio Stale Journal. Thoimts Ewiug. Ar mg the distinguished men called together, at this places, by the sitting of the United States (.'our Is, there is none upon whom we look with more interest than the Him, Thniuus Kwtng- lie has long been considered one uf the most talented men of our Statu and nation, and well does he deserve the distinction. In person Air, Ewing is of large stature, somewhat corpulent, with a tine, large head, partially bald. His countenance is of pleasing nml sometimes playful expression, yet marked by intelligence and deep thought, lie has occupied, besides other important stations, the otlice of United States Senator and was Secretary of the Treasury under the lamented Harrison. In his public career he has always exhibited a liili order of tnlftils as a statesman. As a speaker, in the Senate, iu the assembly or in the i'orum, ho is noted for the earnestness and eloquence of his maimer. Hisl-wi-guage is simple and expressive, never rising to highlv adorned and euphoueous sentences, but loaded wild meaning. His sentiments ore neither of lotty for-fetched uhutractions nor trite common place, but mark ed liy their strong practical common sense, illuntruted and enlivened by information from every department of knowledge. His gesticulation is somewhat ungraceful, but even this given it an expression of strength. When fully warmed up, with his fine countenance animated and earnest, his dark eye Hashing with feeling his strong, sonorous voice sending forth his short terse sentences, he at once' enchains the attention, enlists the feelings and carries the judgment captive. It has been with much regret that the many friends of Mr. Kwing, have seen the necessity of his private business compel him to spend his time and 'talents in the duties uf that profession alone, of which he is so honored a member. May we not hope In see him soon, again wielding that power wliteh nil acknowledge him to possess again urging forward Whig principles nud Whig measures, (if which, in times past, he has been so able an advocate. In the approaching presidential canvass a contest Involving o,untifn of the deepest import to us as a nation, I know of no one, who lie counsels would be looked to with more confidence, or wlii me comprehensive, yet clear, statesmanlike views would bo mure gladly received. UUCKEYE. Accidf.rt to Gov. W uiTcoH . Wc copy the following from ilia Indianapolis Sentinel of the 17th inst : We learned late last evening that a shocking accident happened to Gov. White . tub on the down train of railroad cars yesterday, rtt Kdiuburg. Tin; Governor had stepped oil' the cars for a few moments, and was about stepping on again while the cars were iu motion. His (Wot slipped, nud he fell between the cars and platform of the depot, the ears whirling him around and rriihiug his thighs as they went. The Governor was insensible for some time alter lie was extricated, hut Ihiully recovered consciousness. The ex net chiracter und extent uf the injury we are unable to state : but from what we are told, it will bu some time, if ever, before he can recover. Ohio I.c'islnliirc A Short Hesslou. The Legi-d ilure will soon convene, ,wtlh a Whig unj'irily in bulb branehes. There are no very important lilt'asiiri'S.

No only will ill" central t.,nnimiuee inus ue rivo authority for whatever action they may see proper to lake, but our Representatives in Congress will feel themselves sustained by those wlWe interests and feelings it is iheir duty to consult. Let the people say whether they are for peace or war whether for "equal and exact justice," or for wild schemes of conquest and aggrandizement whether for a citizen of Ohio, or of some other stato fir the Preside nay ; and if of Ohio, designate their preference whether the Convention iu which they are expected to participate shall be a mass convention, or consist of delegates only and whether it sh ill be held on tlieU 'd of February, or at an earlier d iy while the Legislature shall be in session. We have ventured, without consultation with the Central Committee, to throw out these suggestions, because the time in at hand when action ' necessary and because ' what is every body's lminess is nobody's business" and because the people may as well attend to their own affairs, and givo direction to their sentiments, as to incur the liability of being misunderstood and misrepresented. Mr. llcuton aud Mr, Polk One of our Washington exchanges says that the administration i making preparatiens to declare open war upon Mr. Benton, whose exactions from Mr. I'olk are becoming ton troublesome, and whose defection to the intercut of the Loeofocos of tlio extreme southern scho il draws upon wh'mux'ver he supports aport-on of the ire of the Cilluuniirs. To supply the va-cmcy which this discharge will make in the rank of administration leaders, aaiduom court will be paid to Mr. Calhoun, whose friendship will there become doubly necesnry to sustain the sinking reputition of Mr. I'olk. We cm lnrdly think such an alliance will be brought ab ut, unless Mr. Ptk is willing to change his ground upon the war question, and assume the 'line of defense" theory winch .Mr. Cillwtm advocated in the Semte, and In which it is understood he still adheres. If Mr. Benton i deserted by the administration, the country may look for a warfare on Iiis p:trt as nercr as that which ho would have waged against the Mexicans had Mr. Polk succeeded in placing him at the head of the army as ' Lieutenant General" and this contest uny pojibly result iu divulging some of the secret spring which hive moved the administration in its belligerent policy. However troublesome, Mr. Hen ton may be as a friend, the administration will find him much more troublesome as a foe. I)rikfl! ra. I'lirrhh.

We hope they may find this hut county soon we can't and turn their attention once more to home alTiirs. People grumble at their being called otf on extra services to the neglect of local duties. Organization ol the Next House. The near approach of the time for the assembling of Congress renders the question of the organization of the House a matter of considerable interest. For the fiM time since the memorable campaign of 1840, the Whigs have succeeded in electing a majority bl' the members. In tlio last CongresH, the Loeofocos had a majority of neurly two to one. Now by the tur ning of tlie political tide, the wings have the majority. The must important duty which will devolve upon the Whigs in Congress, after tho election of Speaker, will be the election of a Clerk, This otlicer has great iiillnence, by means of his patronage and place, and it is important, now that we have the power, that a good staunch Whig should be elected. It is stated in some of the New York papers, j that one of tho Members of Congress from (Ins State, Hon. John Q. Adams, has pledged himself to vote fori Ihe present incumbent, Mr. B. B. French, and it is surmised that some two or three more Wing iiiemberti may I have pledged themselves in the snmo way. We know not what reliance ought to be placed upon these statements. We cannot believe the in to be true, because we cannot believe that men who have the good of the Whg party nl heart, would commit an act so suicidal as to clcciulliornugh going New Hampshire Locofoc.o to one of the highest und mot influential positions in the country. That they would voluntarily put a political opponent in a position where, by the exercise of his franking and other privileges, he would be able lo deal the most deadly opposition to the Whig party of the Union, during the whole of the Presidential campaign, which, as every one know, is to bu fought during the next twelve months. We are not on advocate for parly proscription, but we arc the advocate of common sense and common tHtice. Where there is a vacant ollir.e, and two can-idutes present themselves one a Whig and the oth-r a Loco Foco both equally well qualified for tlie station, we should vote for the Whig- This is the case which is presented lo the Whig members of the next House. This Mr. B. H. French has no claims at all upon Ibe Whig party. During the'th Congress, when the Clerk was a Whig very few removals ut subordinates were made by him. Musi of the old incumbents were retained, nmong whom, wo believe was Mr. H. B. French. But when this Mr. French was elected Chief Clerk, by the Loco Foco Congress, and the Whig Clerk turned adrift, Mr. French repaid ihe leniency of his Whig predecessor, by turning every man out of ollice who had the remotest taint of tVhiirgcry about him and the vacancies were filled by Loeo Fncns of ihe right slripe. We were told by a distinguished member of the last House, aud who is also a member of the present Congress, that Mr. French carried mi his prosenptive policy, even lo the removal of the old colored man who hud charge uf the 1 wood and oul-houses near the capitol, aud lor no other reason than because he was a Whig. Anil this is thu man who has been soliciting Whig members to re-elect him to his lute lucrative position. Wo think it would have been as manly in him were he lo resign hi pretensions, now that Ins friends are in Ihe minority, and permit the Wings to elect one of their own political friends. We huve no personal pre fere noes to gratify. We advocate the cluimsof no man to the ollice. We shall be satisfied with the election of any good man, if he is a Whig. Should Mr. 11. B. French, however, be lucky enoujth to be elect ed, it will only prove what Ihe Loco Focol have often said ot the V lugs thai although I hey sometime attained power, they had not the wisdom to return it. Uuntna JtluM. A Fact for Ohio Whent Growers. We copy the following from thu market report of a Bud'ilo paper: " The experiment of shipping wheat from Brantford, Port Stanley, and other points in Canada is being tented ; a cargo of .liOtJ budiels from the former place having arrived here, which alter paying a duty of liO percent, is put into market lo compile with Cleveland, Milan' ami other prime western samples. The sample o tie red on Change, this inorninir, allhouirh not se lected, will favorably compare With the average of Wencsee. 1 lie reason ot this movement is that the United Slates is a better market for Canadian bread stud's than Knglaiid. The wheat, wo understand, cost ?oc per bush, ut Brantford freight to this place about bd,duty 0 per cen. 'caving a fair profit tu the shippers." " The United Slates a loiter wheat market than Knglaiid !" Shade of Sir Robert Walker, how c;m tins h.ippen when the T.iriH" of 'Mi was rime ted .n purpose to m:ike Liigluud a Market for vm wheal! Tin to is something wrong a screw is tonse some where perhaps it is in that much vaulted In riff, that was by some free trade legerdemain, to convert the whole world into a market tor our Agricultural products. The above facts, being actual market transactions, scatters the fog away some, and imM he nc kuowlrdged to have more potency than the finest free trade theory ever woven troin the brain of a scholar iu Itm obmet. At" t tl) the tir.it yunr nf the lfmesnid tu nil' of ours, British wheat enters our ports and com-petes siicceslully with Ohio wheat. Prime wheal, on Ihe day this transaction took place, was quoted at l,0u' pr bushel in Butl'.ilo; the Canada wheat coul Voe MO per cent, duty and lid. freight makes it cost ij l,t:i, making a profit of U cents per hindio) to the British speculator, besides II cenls freight if he brought it over in ins own vessel. The ope ml ion appears lo have been very successful, for simmers ran well afford to carry wheal from Port Stanlly to Buffalo lor 1-1 cents per Uushel. Thi transaction shows that the tariff of '4(1 opens no m irkct lor western wbent, ami (hat it adonis Canada iv lie it at so low a rate of duty on a furrin valuation, thai il competes successfully with our own, aud drives it out of market lo the extent nf the supply. And now suppose tins trade is continued next year and every venr hereafter, what is its effect ? Why, hun dreds of thousand of hu-dicluuf Canadian w heat Will be imported into tins country , and lioue of ours exported. A small additional duly aud a home valuation would prevent all this and secure the American mar kel to American wheat grower. But thu i protrr- ifiit it is the principle upon which Ihe tariff of I4-!'.' was based, this is the objection. I its good one ? It might have been so considered by the Western wheat growers, who have been tickled with the notion that he and Ins class were to supply the world with wheat, while the world was to supply tliern with cheap manufactures ; hut how docs il look iu view of such n trans. actum as tint quoted above ! It is oiirni that is gored now, Wlucli makes a proper sight ol it'tlerencr. Pan-L'er from Ibis iiuarter was never apprehended, because Canadian wheat could Ih exitorled to Knglaiid free id' duty, and it was supposed, as a matter of course, thai all tiie surplus wheat in Canada would go to Knglaiid, and, following the law of trade, forthwith tlie tidi turned, and uMcnil of supplying the World Willi wheal the world supplies us: e luve jul one question to ask the Ohio wheat growers 111 view of this state of things ought not American wheat to bo protected by additional unties: .-inrvn ikwmn. Snirrvrs i a mi k i& Soi tii Amfrh a - In the Savannah of Izacuho, in Guiana, I taw Iho most wouderlul, the most terrible spectacle that can be seen; and although it be not uncommon to ihe inhnb. iiants, no traveller has ever menimned it. We were ten men on horseback, two of whom took the lead, in order lo sound the passages, w hilst I preferred tu skirt the great (uresis. One n the Hacks who formed the vanguard, returned full gallop, and called to me " Here, sir, come and see serpents in a pile. l pointed out to me something elevated in the middle of ihe savannah or swamp; v Inch nptcared liken bundle of arms. One of my company then said "Tins is certainly one of the asseinhlagi s of serpents, which heap themselves on each other alter a Volcnt tritiiest ; I have heard of these, but have never seen any; let us proceed cautiously, and not go ton near." When within twenty paces of it, tho terror of our horses prevented our near approach, to which none of us were inclined. On a sudden, the pyramid mass berame agitated; horrible hisrnngs issued from it, thousands of serpent rolled spirinlly on each other, shot forth out of Ihe circle their hideous bends, presenting their envenom, ed narts and fiery eyes to us. I own I was one of the first tn draw back, but when 1 saw this formidable phalanx remained at its post, and appeared more dis. poaed to defend itself than In attack us, I rodenroiiml it, in order to view il order of battle, which fared the enemy m; every side. 1 then sought what euid be Terrible Stenmbont Accidents Cincinnati, Nov. Wl P. M. A letter to tho Louisville Courier slates that the steamboat Tempest, from St. Louis, and the Talisman, from Cincinnati, came in collision on Wednesday night near Cape Girardeau. The Talisman sunk immedi ately in deep water. She is a total loss. The loss of life is estimated at 40 some think more. Passengers lost every thing, escaping with only their night clothes. I hey were taken lo Girardeau by the Tempest. The steamboat Carolina burst a boiler on Friday near Shawucetown, by which two individuals were killed, and three scalded. PlTTSBDHOIl, Nov. 2i 3 P. M. There is little news from the army. General Lane had returned to Pueblafrom Atliaco. He destroyed a number of cannon carriages belonging to the enemy ; and had invited buck the inhabitants of Puebla. All was quiet at that place. The French steamer Union burst a boiler on her last trip, seriously injuring her machinery. ompnrutivo Vithie of Northern and Son them Productions The comparative value of the crona of (he Northern and Southern States, is a subject on which much mis apprehension exists. Jt appears Irom a valuation by Prof. Tuckerman, based upon the returns of JIO,and which has been assumed by Mr. Calhoun to be reliable, the value of cotton, tobacco, rice and sutrar the four great staples ol ihe slaves State was ijji?5tHifi,;tlO. In the same year Ihe hay alone of New Knglaiid, New mm, new jersey, rennsyivama and UI110 amounted to ftl,440,(l.

Ihe cmp of cotton was that year unusually Inrire since that time (he accession to the wealth, population and for agricultural purposes to the laud olso of the Northern Slates wo have mentioned, has been very great, while it is probable that from a worse crop of cotton and the fallen price of tobacco and sugar, the value of the four staples has decreased. 1 ma probability becomes a certainty, by nn exami nation of Ihe tables of Southern exports. The population of the South increased from IKK to Itvl.j, one million seven hundred and flty thousand, but 011 the contrary the exports diminished iu the Mowing proportions : 11(1, 111,1114, Hid ii:t,;v.i Unmanufactured cotton..

These statistics do not include smrnr. but owintr to the diminution of the price of that article, it cannot materially affect our argument. Tho facts they disclose have an important bearing upon the pecuniary advantages or disadvantages attendant upon slavery. They prove that the products of the Slave Stales unitedly, are less in value than those of two m three only of the Free Stales. Nor can this be attributed to advantages of climate, soil, or position, possessed by Iho loiui. 111 reierence 10 me natural advantages 01 Virginia iu comparison with thi. State, it has been enthusiastically, but with no exaggeration remarked : w mu 11 10 prevent Virginia 1mm rivalling New York? Is it because her territory is not larire eiioUL'h? She is ahead of New York by nearly ii0,oi)0 square nines, ur is 11 necause the sluvu States are not as large as the free, that they can never attain a numerical equality ! Tins cannot be for the territory em. braced by the former is nearly twice as large as that of the latter. Is ihere anything in the soil of this territory that should prevent it from sustaining an equal population with the free States? Nothing. It is rich- r in soil, and is callable of iiroduriinr u e renter amount of agricultural productions, as well us mineral wealth, man uie tree Btnlc. Is the position ot Ihe slave territory such an to neutralize its other advantages? Look at Virginia, of which one of the most distinguish ed writers of Ihe North has said, Virginia is the great central State of this Union its geographical pivot ils back bone on Iho map, if 1 may reiterate phrases. It is not all Hat nor all mountain, but about Ihe right intermingling of each The Maker of Heaven and earth has written out for it an august destiny on its very geograpny. And again : e iNorlJicrn people know nothing of the resnur-, Ihe natural grandeur of Virginia, unless it be the few who may have travelled iu it, in nearly all its pans, mien, ion, among its glorious mountains, and not less glorious valleys. From the Blue Bulge to tho Ucean, u might be Loinbardy it might be Ireining, abundant Italy. Over and among the Alleghanies, it is Switzerland almost. There is a race of men among these mountains, in whose form, stature, robust, vigorous health, the world knows no tierinr. If, after the war, De Witt Clinton, the embodied genius of American peace, bad been a Viririnian. and could then and there, as in New York, have broken the trammels of all prejudices, Norfolk would have been the emporium now of the commerce of ihe American world, and canals aud railroads, prefitulde, too, would have threaded every important valley ot Virginia, teeming with Ihe rich trade of the vast and fertile West. It is an unnatural circuit of trade that draws the Ohio valley lo New York by the lakes, and it would have been easier far to conduct it through the Alleghanies into Norfolk in Virgiuin ' " Il is true that where Nature seems most to aid men, they arc frequently content with w hat she has done for Ihem; and that industry and wealth are more usually characteristic of (hose countriea where the soil and climate necessarily stimulate the energy and ingenuity of the inhabitants. But it is a fact unparalleled in the history nf mankind, that a vast and most fertile country, nf whose resources a small fractional part only has been dcvooted abounding in mineral wealth possessing some of the best navigable rivers and a large extent nf coast by which it may enjoy the benefit of con rcial intercourse with Ibe rest of the world peopled in pnit by a race the most energetic and enterprising that has ever lived, and conversant by means of books and personal intercourse rind inspection, Willi all Ihe useful and practical applications of modern science it is unparalleled in history thai such a country should increase in population and dimmish iu its staple productions. Such is the result of the institution which it is attempted to extend over other territories such is the object with which the present war has been undertaken ; for few men who have watched the piogress nf political events, can doubt that the war is a Southern war, and that its objects nre frankly expressed by a writer in a Slave Slate paper: " 1 would go against the war, if 1 thought it would not result in the extension of slave territory. What ate we (the slaveholders) lo do? Wc must have an outlet tiir our slaves ; if wr don't, God knows w hat will happen to us then! Our young men seek the battle tiidd from excitement for distinction.

Death of John M. Gallagher It is our puinful duty to announce the death uf John M. Gallagher, Esq., Editor of the Springfield IU-public, and late Speaker of the House of Representatives. He expired at his residence in Springfield, on yesterday, at II o'clock, in the enjoyment ol a reasonable, religious, and holy hop of a blissful immortality at peace with God and in charity with his fel.ow-men. Mr. Gallagher was a virtuous and upright man; an intelligent, conscientious Editor; an enlightened and patriotic citizen; and an humble and devoted Christian. When such a man falls, the whole com munity sympathises with his afllioled relatives in tho fact that the State, and the Church, a well as the family circle, have sustained a common loss not readily repaired. Clerkship. Hon. Jamrs H.uu. an, of Kentucky, whose name had been pretty extensively mentioned in connection with the ollice of Clerk of tho Congressional Houso of Rep rose n tali ves, has declined being a candidate for that post. In a letter to his friend the Editor of the Cincinnati Atlas, he says, " if he desired thu office and were assured he could have it, his professional obligations would not allow him to accept it." Mr Vun Ilnrcu Tim recent evidences uf opposition lo tlio extreme southern policy of the locofoco party, which have been exhibited in the ranks ol ihe followers at Ihe north, have given an entire new turn to Presidential speculations in that parly ; and llnmo who were paying court but a brief month since, to the men that floated then upon the waves of p ipular clamor, are beginning to think that thu Buchanans and Casses and Woodburys will not answer in Ihe present emergency. These leaders have become engulphed in the pool of their own creating, and there they will be permitted to remain, most pitiable objects of public derision. But while the waves of change have flooded these weaker vessels, another craft is floating clear, and a portion of the parly is looking to il as the foundation for a reasonable hope for success in tho campaign of 1HI8. This is the "Sago of Kinderhook." While other men, ambitious for the higher honors of the party, have been catching at every popular breeze, only to find each a false one, he lias laid quiet, patiently waiting for Me moment to strike a blow which should, by one bold effort, replace him in the position from which his unfortunate anti-Texas letter hurled him. War has been waged battles have been fought and won principles have been broached in the ptrly, which havo shaken it from one end of the Union to the other men hive been wandering from the ancient faith of locofocoism and straying in dangerous aud unknown paths; but amid all this, Mr. Van Buren has been quiet, calmly viewing, at a distance, the contests which were slow- y but surely clearing tho way for his second advent as the leader of Ihe distracted hosts of locofocoism. Texas annexed, the original cause of his disgrace is removed; and having waited until he sees clearly the temper of the country upon the knotty question of Mexican matters, he moves once more the wand of his political magic, aud is before the party, acandidate unruled by the bickerings which have condemned the other aspinnls for power. Tins position, to be sure, is not assumed without an exhibition of that mock modesty which is put on by all unscrupulously ambi tious men ; nud he expects a little gentle force to urge him fully from tho pleasant retirement into which he was so unpleasantly thrust. That he will be thus ctmpelhd to become acandidate for the Presidency is, judging Irom present appearances, more than probable. After the utter and disgraceful overthrow and con demnation which Mr. Van Buren met with the last time Ins merits aa a Statesman were submitted to tho judgment of the people, it is almost impossible to be lieve that his party will bring him forward again. With the political sins of which he was then convic ted, and fur which he was then condemned, still hanging lo him, his friend cannot surely expect Ihe American people to reverse their judgment of iheman,aud raise him again to the post which he so foully abused. IT such expectations are entertained, they arc destined to meet with a total overthrow. Hithdrnuul of Specie The Journal of Commerce, of a late dale, says that on the first nf last month the banhs of New York cily had iu their vaults about eight millions of specie that during that month a million and a half was ex ported to Europe, and yet, on the first of tho present 1 month, the amount in the banks was undiminished. "Haifa million," says the Journal, " has been sent forward in November so far, and from Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, another million lias been arranged for, aud about all of it already packed Half of this latter amount will go by the Caledonia, and half by sailing vessels. There has been some in terruption in receipts of coin from thi li'est, in conse quence of a break in the Pennsylvania Canal, but it is nevertheless coming in freely." The Journal continues, " it is evident that much of the gold brought intothe country last spring passed back into Ihe into fior, but with the change of currents, is returning to the stahoard, so that three millions more might go without producing alarm nr inconvenience. If so, tho banks will be thoroughly reinforced." This drain of coin from ttie country is the result of the immense importation of goods under Iho tariff of IrMiJ, assisted by the failure of the European market fur our sur plus products. It is worth a serious thought from the business men of the west, how long the banks and dealers of the Mississippi Valley ran sustain them selves under this ruinous result of the mistaken and miserable policy of Locofocoism. If Ibis drain should go on, it must cramp the business operations of the West. llfirnbuTiiinfr.

Tho Geological features, Indian traditions, aud Colonial history of the "Granite Stale," are as thrill, ingly interesting as are the names of her Mountains, Lakes aud Rivers uniquo and aboriginal. In the geo. graphical centre of the Slate, amid mountains, lakes und rivers, and near the junction of the Winnipisiogee and PemigewasHel rivers, is the township of Salisbury, and in Ibis township Daniel Webster was "born end bred." Lbenezcr Webster, the father, was a bold pioneer, a fearless man a true palriot. When first he peueira. ted this wild, and at llmt time, repulsive region, its fertile glens and mountain gorges could only be found und passed by the Indian's trail ; and for many years thereafter, the only communication himself aud fami ly niu witii remote, settlements, was by a "bridle path. Enterprise and industry have since effected wonderful changes. Now the most fertile meadow and richest grazing lands are here to be found ; now good carriage roads thread the valleys and traverse the coun. try, and the sleeping echoes of the mountains are awakened by the shrill whistle of the steam engine and now the "pioneer settlement'' has become ono of the most valuable and desirable " homesteads " iu New England. This home of his childhood, among his native hills, Daniel Webster has visited each successive year; and for many years past, several times each season, he eagerly seeks it during the recesses of Ins public and professional labors. No spotonearlh is as dear to him us this. He hits preserved, iinnroved and cnluncd it with studious cure and sohctludo. Here are the Melds his own hands aided in " clearing "here tho venerable elms which, when a boy, he planted and here the rivers ami urooKs, lakes ana ponds, hills and mountains, with which arc associated a thousand joyous incidents of his youth here also urn the graves of Ins father and mother, nud brothers and sisters, all of whom departed this lite before him. During the past summer, 1 spent several days at this delightful locality, and from personal observations, from conversations with the " oldest inhabitants," and from other sources, I obtained much information, and heard numerous pleasing incidents, touching the birth place and history of Daniel Webster. bbeneziT Webster, the father, was born in King ston, Rockingham county, New Hampshire, in 17:i!, and died al Salisbury (now Franklin) April U'4t ItiOG. Lzekiei aim unmet were the only sons ol a second uiarnaffo : the mother was Abigail Eastman, of Salisbury, Massachusetts, and her luimly uf Welch extraction. A plum tablet to tho memory of the parents has been raised by the sons. At an early age, tho father joined the Provincial troops in the war of l?."ti against the French under General Amherst, and Ins youngest brother Benjamin was a member of Robert Rogers' celebruted company of Rangers. The father was at the foot of Lake Champlaiu on tho way to Quebec, when the news of ils surrender was received tho troops being discharged, he returned to Kingston. Peace being restored by Ihe Treaty of I7C2, and Iho Indians being quieled, the Royal Governor of N, JI. (Wentworth) began to make grants of Townships in the Stale Before this, the settlements in N. H. hud not advanced inward a single township by reason of Indian hostilities. Salisbury, al first called Stevens-town, was granled iu 17(4 to Ebenetrr Stevens and others, and under this grant Ebenezer Webster obtained a Lot, two miles from Merrimac river, on a ainnil stream, where he erected a suw and grist mills ; the only mills in the region round-about fur many years. Tho mill site and a small " Beaver meadow ' where wild grass could be had for cuttle, caused the selection of the Lot. Here, in the fall of 17HI, Mr. Webster built Ins " Log Cabin," at which lime " no smoke arose North of it, tins side of Montreal." In this cabin Daniel Webster s hall brothers and sisters were born. About the time of the second morn aire, the faiher built a frame house, near Hie cabin, of one story dug a well and planted a saplinelm by its side. 1 he well is now daily used, and the cliu overshadows it with its spreading branches. Here H.tmcl Webster was born, January In, 17rf, and the Records uf the Parish atleat his birlh ami christening. Alter Ihe Peace ol Versailles in 1784, the father, who had been out in the campaigns of the Revolution a Captain under Gen. Stirk, and by right of senior, ily a Major, purchased Ihe Cull Farm " on Merrimac river, two miles down the "brook " from his first location. These Calls were the descendants of that celebrated Mistress Call, who was the lasl victim of Indian barbarity in New Hampshire. Mr. We baler's earliest recollections are, of course, connected with Una residence ol Ins father. It is Hie Home of Just boyhood, hii favorite place of annual resort through life, and is now the dearest resttpg place of his old This " Homestead ' nuw (nnUini, 11 mtatgi-A by Mr. Webster, over one thousand acres of land one hundred of which are the rich and beautiful bottom lands of tho Mernmac river. His residence, farmhouse and nut buildings, are commodious and eomti-r. table every thing orderly and in perfect repair. His farm is well husbanded and raises the finest sheep and blooded cattle in the country. Mr. Webster enjoys, above all others, agricultural pursuits, and bis exten sive larui 111 MarslihcH, Mass , and tins Ins Homestead cannot bu surpassed in substantial evidence of good and progressive husbandry. Mr. Webster wu kepi in slricl attention, by his father, on all the ad vantain-s of Hie " District Schools," during the winters, and Uie summers fie worked on the larui. Ihe story nl " hanging Ihe scythe I learned was partly true and partly the story of his brother Joseph, who, according lo report, used tn say, that his father sent Daniel to College to make him equal to the oilier boys The scythe story is tins : Daniel was mowing with Ins lather and others in ' haying tune, aud lagged behind. The faiher urged him to keep hi, Panic I said his scylbo "didnt hung right. ihe father Jim it. Again Daniel fell behind, and again was urged In keep up. He still complained that his scythe did nl hnuir ritfht. The father nmiatirnl, arrain Jiitd if, and throwing it down, said " there if it don't work now, hang it to suit yttursctf. INot long alter tins, the scythe was seen hanging upon an utpie rrrr, and Daniel it was thonghlANn if there to suit himself. In May.

While in College, Mr. Web ster, like others of small means, kept school rach winter vacation. He graduated m I tit) I, and entrrrd tho Law ollice of Itiomas W. lhnitison, of Salisbury, who was afterwards Representative and Senator tn Congress. During Mr. Webster's third colleiriale year, he resolved that his elder brother Ezekiri should be lilieraiiy rduratcu, ny sharing with him whatever his father could afford, and aiding himself by school keeping Kxekiel then left the field and began to prepare fur college, and his brother Daniel left the Law office and engaged in leaching school for his own lupimrt and his brother's education.

The reason he gave for this, was that his father was getting old bad infirm health, resulting from Ins arduous duties in military life, and he resolved to be near linn so long as ho should live.
