SPEECH OF MR. WERSTER,
A meeting of the New York Historical
Society was held on Thursday evening, at
Which resolutions were adopted in relation
,to tha. death of Gen. Jackson. Mr. Webster
being present by invitation, rose and made
the following remarks on the resolutions.
We copy from the New York Courier and
t,nqntrer.
Mr. Webster said:
It is proper and natural that the Historical
Society should take notice of the death of
one of its members, who has filled exalted
stations in the country, and been distin
guished by successive elections to the
Presidency of the United States.
The death of a citizen who had attained
that elevation by the favor of his country,
has never failed to produce a greater or less
degree of public emotion. am old enough
to remember the deaths of all the Pesidents
who ' hire ,;d
downwsrd; and each has made an impres
sion of sobriety and sorrow, more or less
intense on the feelings of the people, and
called forth testimonies of respect front ibe
country and from public bodies.
This is just. It is proper to notice an e
venrwhich takes from among us an emi
nent citizen, distinguished by high marks
of public favor. It is now a long timeaince
Gen. Jackson became connected with nub.
lie lite as a member of Congres 1 believe
fifty years. - And t do not rememper. at the
moment, whether any person associated
with him in the House of Representatives
at that time is living, except the venerable
gentleman who is now the President of thia
society. 1 here may be others, but I recol
lect no. one except Mr Gallatin.
The character of Gen. Jackaon while he
lived, was presented in two relations to his
country. Ho was a soldier, and had com
manded the armies of the Republic, and he
has filled the office ef Chief Magistrate. So
far as regard his military repution and mer
its, I partake fully in the general estimate.
He was a aoldier of dauntless courage, vig
or and perseverance, an officer- of skill and
sagacity, of quickness of perception, and "of
prompt anu resoiuie execution or his pur
poses. There is probably no division of opin
ion, at home or abroad, as to his merits in
these particulars. ,
During the whole of his civil administra
tion, it happened that I was a member of
the Senate of the United States, and
it was my misfortune to be obliged to differ
with him, in regard to moslol his leading
measure. To me this was painful be.
cause it much better suited my temper and
feelings to be able to suppoit the measures of
government, than to find myself called upon
by duty to oppose them.
There weie occasions, however in the
course 6T his administration m which no
duty of opposition devolved npon me. Some
ofthese were not unimportant. There were
times which appeared to me to be critical.
calling fur wisdom and energy em the part
of ill. MJkMAMKMA. , ' I
w, uis giiTsrmuBiii anu in wnicn meaaures
proposed and opinions expressed by him
seemed highly suitable lo the exigency.
On these occasion I supported those meas
ures with the same sineerity snd zeal at if I
had never differred from him before, or nev
er expected to differ from him again. There
is no doubt that ..he sought to .distingish
himself by exalting the character and hon
or of his country. And tbeoccssion on which
it was uttered rendcredsome what remarkable
his celebrated sentiment in fervor of the pre
scrvalion ofthe Union. I believe he feltthese n
timent with the utmost sineerity, .and thi
cannot be denied to be one strong proof of his
devotion lo the true interests ofhis countty.
He has now ceased from his earthly labors,
and affect the public interest of -the- State
only by his example end the influence of
.: ' .
uim vMina. v mwj well StippOSO InSt
in the last days and - hours and moments
ofhis life, snd iih the full consciousness
of the change then before him so near, one
ofhis warmest wishes would be that what
ever error he might have committed ahould
be passing and transitory in their effect upon
the Constiuuion and institutions of his
country. And while we may well ascribe
the praiseworthy and benign dying senti
ment to h'm let us with equal igeuuous
nest cherish the feeling that whatever bo
has sccomplished for the real good of the
country, its true character and real glory
tnsy remain a tust inheritance attached to
his memot. - -"' ; :

NEW f AND FEARFUL MODE OF
- EXECUTION.- A
( It appears from the journal of a Europe,
an traveller, tbat a new and fearful mode
of execution has recently been adopted
by 1he Great Mogul. The instrument.'.
and the proces are thua described :
'A box, each side of which is fifteen
feet sqetre, is structured ef solid limber,
sbout eighteen inches thick, dovetailed
together, and braced with Iron rods.
The oafside nf the bottom f the. box i
covered with a plate of beaten iron, one
inch in thickness. The interior, is filled
with perfect cubes of granite, weighing in
the aggregate, several thousand tons. A
machine is erected sfter the manner of
anordinary pile driver, but of course on
an enormous scale, and of tremendous
strength. The mast is raised by means
ofnowerful machinery, cast in Birming
ham for the express purpose though it it
tocbprumedJlitlheoaclii by
whom tht wprk was urnisheiT71iait "hti
idea of tlie horrible purpose fr which it
wat intrnded. The human victim it pla
ced upon a block of granite, of a enrres
ponding surface, buried in the earth im
mediately beneath the enormous mass,
and likewise covered with a plate of iron.-
At a signal by the aicramadac. Ihe
auctioneer, touches a spring. The mass
fall and the victim, crushed at once, is
suddenly annihilated, ami spread out like a
sheet of pasteboard. The huge weight be
inz again raised, the flattened body ia
withdrawn ami dre I in the sun. When
completely prepared it is hung up on the
walls of a public building, there to serve
as a warning to the multitude!
INDIA RUBBER PANTS.
The Cincinnatti Enquirer says.- there is
someimSng' 'jcnliarTy'' pheasant a'tfcVa'gWei
ante in the sensation one feels on putting
on a pair of- India Rubber pants. -They
yield to readily to every motion of the
body and legs, and then they are so cool
that you reel almost as if your extremi
ties were denuded. Those who have seen
them must have remarked the tenacity
witn which they try to shrink into the
smallest possible compass, looking for all
the world only large enough for a boy
three years old, but when tried they ea
sily accommuilate themselves to co.nmon
sized men. Going up Main street a few
dayssgo, we observed a man just ahead
with a pair Ofthe articles, on, .... Br some
icedeflt,OM"oM
leg or bis panls commenced crawling up
until it ascended above the knee, in spite
of all his efforts to keep it down. Hit

Hi. took the first i hoot in the shape i.f an

the impression that India Rubber Pants
were dsngerous and rather mortifying
tilings in the street, or in a ball room, par
ticularly if the straps give way.
A SHE ABOLITIONIST RUNNING
AWAY WITH A MULATTO FELLOW.
The Norfolk Herald gives the follow
ing amusing account of a runaway match:
'A young waman from the North said
to be about 18 years of age, came lo our
city about .a year ago, end obtaioed em
ployment in a respectable family as a
'help,' or housekeeper, in which capacity
she was found to be very useful, particu
larly as nurse for the sick. .This Istter
quality, indeed, was the cause ol her trans
fer, with the consent of (lie family in which
she reside !, In a neighbor who had a very
sick child. In this family she remained
some time, snd gave such evidence of cor
rect conduct, intelligence, and assiduous
service, as woi their respect and affec
tion. She soon, however, exchanged this sit
uation for a move lucrative one in a hotel,
as ladies' Waiting maid, in which she con
liuued for six months, when she eloped
with a likely young mulatto fellow a wai
ter in the same hotel and a stave of the
proprietor. This matter ahe managed
most adroitly. She called on the gentle
man in whose family ahe had previously
refcided, and informed him that she. had
left her situation at the hotel, and being
desirous, to return lo her friends at the
North requested him as a favor to see the
Captain of the Baltimore which she' did,'
and he recommended her to the particular
care and attention of the captain.
At the appointed time the lady made
her appearance at the capiain's 'office,'
and had hersell Dooke.t as Miss
snd servant and paid the passage money
for both. The 'servant,' it ia not neces
sary to inform the reader, was hei para,
mour at the hotel, for her commerce with
whom she had been discharged fiom hef
