Never, perhaps, since the days of Harley and
St. John, has there been a more corrupt public
man than Daniel Webster, That great sOul which /,
at Plymouth Rock and upon Bunker Hill, dilated
with patriotic feeling, and talked like god in its
descriptions of the trials of the Pilgrims and its
grand deEneations of the frs battle for American
freedom, has become low, and mean, and sordid,
and bows down, brioed and Pensioned, in the pre-
sence of the whole people, to the worship Of filthy
lucrel It is doubtless known to our readers that
the eapitalists of Boston have made up fund 81
e1ooooo for Mr.. Webster; that he has accepted
the donation, and is now hired servant of the
manufactures of Lowell in the Senate of the U.
States. The fact is not denied by the Wing press
es They boast of it, and one of them, the New
York Tribune, exults at The prospect now before
Mr.. Webster, and says he will be able hence
forth TO devote all his time and talents to the pub
lie service What says the Register TO this 2
What the Independent AS the Baltimore Re.
nuSIican saws: Were the exhibition of Mr. Web
ster's love of money and the luxuries which il
buvs. made only on the theatre of Marshfeld: we
conH regret that so noble an intellect could have
been desecrated to such unworthy uses, and that
mind should wear so willingly the bondage ol
gross appetite But he is to be in the Senate
chamber-there, in one Of its Lofty seats; there, a
representative of august State power august on
Iy because of associated purity-and the inquiry
is, Shall he be permitted 10 wear the badge o
Lowell?" We have democratic majority in th'
Senate, and they have recently been told, by th'
peoples loud voice in rejecting Henry Clay, tha
bargain for power shall never yield fruit in th


fair land. Upon the fresh grave Of one bargain
which udmiring friends propose 10 adoTn with
costly monuments, the selfish and the shFewd aim
TO form another compact, which we trust will soon
find its congenial repose in the same cemetery O.
whig ambition. We ask thcn that at the aaspi
cious era when the new and honest administration
of viruous Polk shall come into power, corrup
ton shall be exposed, under whatever disguise /
may seek to conceal itself; remembering; as we
do, that in all advances upon the purify of the peo
ple, and the stern virtue of republican government


the best shield for wisdom and patriotism 10 wear
has been handed down to by the sage Of old, whose
motto was, "OBsTA PRINcIPT1s." .....


There it is, people of North Carolina There
is corruption misunderstanding up in its liring
rOttenness in the high places of the country, anc
no Wing voice rcbukes i-no Wing arm il
stretched forth to hurl it from its seat! We cal
upon the democratic press every where to de
nounce this bargain, and expose il to th
blasting gaze of the American peonle
