Mr. WEBSTER took occasion to say!

that he had not the honor to address a full:

hear from that gentleman himselt the rea
sons whibh led him to leave a position to
which hej seemed to be attached- He was
not otherwise acquainted with. those rea
sons than as he gathered them from 'the
very extraordinary publication in the go
vernment paper of Saturday evening. He
inferred from that publication that the ho
norable member left his seat from an ina
bility to Support the measures of the Ad
ministration now before them without vio
lating his conscience, and from great un
willingness to disoblige his party and poj
litical friends by voting against them. As
that gentleman was gone he might speak
of him", and in doing so he could not speaU
of him otherwise than as a man of char
acter and standing, as a man ;of learning
and attainments, of great courtesy, of un
surpassed intelligence and attention in the)
discharge! of his public duties, and, as they
all knew,! (as far as they might judge of
his course there.) the unfaltering and conl
sistent friend of the present Administraj
