M. FERRALL,
Address or pen. Pierce on the Death of Mf.
' - Webster. -J ''
At Concord, NL H., on Monday,: business
was suspended and the stores closed on the
announpement of the death of Mr. Webster ;
and.: a.8 has been already stated, under our
telegraphic head, a jowo meeting was held
in the Hall of Representatives, which; was
crowded with citizens, including a large nunji
ber of ladies.' The Bqstprt Post gays that
the chairman Hon. ?ra Perley. aAer appro
priate resolutions of respect to Mr. Webster
had been read, called upon Gen. Pierce to
address the meeting. The crowded hall be
came as still as death as Gen. Pierce rose to
comply, and .with deep emotion, "which at
times almost overcame hira, and in a calm
and impressive manner suited to the occa
sion, he spoke as follows:,
Mr. Chairman ; How deeply have all
hearts been impressed by the fervent appeal
to that Power in which our fathers put their
trust, in the hour of their weakness and trials ?
And how has . that solemn impression been
enhanced by the last words ol the truly great
man, just read by the Rev.'Dr. Bouton ? ;
But a few weeks have passed since a deep
gloom was cast over our country by the death
of the great statesman of the West. It had
long been understood that this light was flick
ering . in its socket, and . must soon go out.
Still, the announcement, when it came, wa3
laden with sadness; and we have alt since
then been disposed to look1 with warmer af
fection and more glowing- gratitude to his
great compeer and associate, the intelligence
of whose sudden decease will fall like a fu
neral pall upon the public mind throughout
that Union to which he gave his best affec
tions and noblest efforts. .
r had met Mr. Webster repeatedly- p'rjpr
to 1833, but my personal . acn.uajntanpe with
him may be said to have commenced with
my first winter at Washington. His altaph
ment to bur State was" sinsrujarly strong, and
this n'rf nmstance. berhavs. 'led to a series of
kind acts and ppurtesies toward me durjng
the. sessions of '1823-4, and afterward, the
gratefrl recollection of whjcfi wll never be
effaced, v I mourn lor him as' for a frjendr for
whose personal 'regard my 'own heart has
given back a true and fuJJ .response. -
Among eminent citizens of commanding
power and influence wjiile j was in the Sen
ate, he stood pjerhap's, pre-eminent. In his
rich; combination of qualities as an orator,
lawyer,' and statesman, it may be safely said
he had no rival. How forcibly and sadly
are we reminded cf Jhe great men wth whom
he was associated in the "Senate chamber,
and who preceded him in his transit through
the "dark valley 1" White. .Grundy, 'For
syth, Southard, Wall. Li rn, Sevier, Silas
Wright. Hill, Woodbury. Calhoun, day
men who left their impress upon the age
names ihdissolubly connected with the fame
and history of their country; all like: him,
whose death we are now called upon to $e
plore, were links in the chain; which bound
the past generation 0 the present ; and ail
like him are now on the other side, of that
narrow line whicK 4i,vide&Ume from eterni-
Upon , whom have their mantles lallen ?
Who are to take their pjkees "in' the perils
through which our country ray be called to
pass ? Who, , with "patriotic courage and
Statesmanlike forecast, are to guide in the
storms, tbfit will, at times,; inevitably threat
en us,, in our unexampled development of re
sources as a nation, our almost tearful pro
gress, our position of amazing responsibility
as the great,, confederated, sell-governing
power of the globe ? These are questions
which will press themselves upon all minds;
but :who. alas 1 can satisfactorily answer
them ? 'i:vi'- :'iV- -
To speak of Mr. Webster's genius, hjs Va
ried and - solid V attainments, his services,
would be to discourse of matters as familiar,
even to the children of hi3? native State, as
household words. . Besides, this must be left
to vigorous pens and eloquent tongues,' after
the first gush of grief an4 the ppresslv-e
sense. 01 loss snail, to some extent, Jiave
passed away. ' It is, and long h.da been,, my
firm conviction that Mr. Webster had a hold
upon the minds and hearts' ;bf his country
men," which will fail to be" justly estimated,
only because there has been no full oppor
tunity to- measure it. You, Mr. Chairman,
have truly said that Mr. Webster's greatness
was of thai" rare character which no earthly
position could exalt. f He came to official,
stations, as he approached all .subjects. pre
sented to his mind, their superior -and: their
master. He has reared lor utmsel f a vast
pillar of renown, which will stand in undi
minished strength and.; grandeur when the
work of men's hands, erected to his honor,
will be like Nineveh; and. I fear, when this
Union may have shared the fate which was
the dread of his later years. A few years
ago, when the distinguished brother of the
deceased was called in! an instant, from, time
to eternity, in the court f room in1 this place,
with the last word of a perfect " sentence lin
gering upon his lips, 'another, citizen, most
eminent and beloved, (the last' lamented
Georgo Sullivan,) exclaimed, :. u What shad
ows we are what: shadows vo pursue !"
How these emphatic words came back to us
as if bV an echo. How mere earthly honors
and distinctions fade amid a gloom like this;
how political asperiiies are chastened ; what
a lesson to the living ; yhat an admonition to
personal malevolence, now awea ana suoaa
ed. as the creat heart of the nation thr6bs
heavily at the portals of his grave.
1 have ho heart to speak; or to contem
plate the extent of the loss vve have sustain
ed." As a personal friend as a son of New
Hampshire as an American citizen, I shall
be, with thousands, a sincere mourner at his
obsequies. : : V

. . FROM TEXAS. '
The Galveston .''Civilian" of the 15th in
slant contains a letter from Secretary Con-
bad to the Hon. Volney h.. Howard in re
ply to a letter announcing that the Governor.
ol Texas had called to service mree compan
ies of rangers. Mr. Conrad says:
"In reply, I have the honor to state that
recent intelligence has been received from the
Eighth Military Department, and, as at pres
enradvised, I have no reason to'believe that
the services of these' volunteers sire a,t all nec
essary for the protection cfth'e inhabitants of
Texas Against the Jpiahs. s I must therefore
decline to authorize the muster of these troops.

Religious Character, of Daniel Webster.
Mr. Webster, when a lad, commenced Jhis
classical studies with the Rev. Mr. Wood, of
Boscawen, an excellent neighbpringdergy
man in New Hampshire, and before leaving
that State for Boston,- was a member of an
evangelical Christian congregation. In all
he has ever said or written,' 'it is believed no
word has been uttered con trary to a profound
respect Tor the Chrfitiaii religion. Of late
yearsi he has been a reverent worshipper in
th'e 'public fifendtuary. has had religious servi
ces id 'hlsbwh family, and has shown that
amidsf all e weighty cares that have pre.ss
ed'npn 'hi'm, his obligations to God have not
been forgotten. The recent decease of a son,
in Mexico, "and of a daughter, deeply attected
his mind, and awakened serious reflectio.ii. '
In'a letter recently addressed to a personal
friend, a clergyman in: this city,' (Rev. " Dr.

has on board 375 souls 291saflors, 45 man"

i U is probable that the squadron will ren
dezvous at Hong Kong, and thence proceed
ti ' Japan. The Mississippi, it is said, will
touch at Madeira. SU Helena, and Cape of
Good Hope, on her way to Canton..
JThe New York Tribune, in an article on
the expedition to Japan, says:
J';The great interest which the expedition
htis excited in Europe, and especially in Hol
land, has led . to a formal discussion of the
matter, in the popular . branch of the ? Dutch
Parliament.; The Government were called
upon to state what had been . the ' results of
ill efforts made in the year 1844 to induce. Ja
pan to adopt a more liberal 'policy J-tybether
the Dutch Minister arWaihirtgtorhad been
directed, in 1851, at the request of the Ja
panese Government, and in its behalf, to de
dare that the exclusive system was merely
conformable to its ancient aws; and to pal l
ate the same ;whethej" the meditation of Hol
lahd between the tJntted States and Japan
at present: would not be hurtful to its own
interests ; and whether any favorable result
would be expected therefrom."1 -i
The entire debate, with the detailed an
swer which the Minister of. the Colonies re
turned to these interpellations, is given at
length in the Dutch papers. ,
. -'The Minister, it seems, (we quote: the.
Tribune,) does not speak in verv-sjinguine
terms of the result to be anticipated. It is
not to be expected, he remarks very justly.
that a Uovernment liKe tuat ol Japan, sepa
