DEATH OF DANIEL WEBSTER, THE GREAT NEW ENGLAND STATESMAN, THE BXPOUNDER OF THE CONSTITUTION NO MORE HIS SICKNESS, AND LAST MOMENTS, Sad and Touching Death Bed Scone. Biographical Sketch of the Great Man. The Effect of his Death Here and Elsewhere. &e., &e., &e. ‘mar men eS This city wore yesterday a gloomy and sombre aspect, He in whose greatness and world-wide fame she glorted Nes new stiff and cold, sunk in the ley embrace of death —his greatners vanished, his light extinguished, aod his eloquent tongue for ever hushed in the silence of the grave. When the news reached here on Friday moraing that Mr. Webster's indisposition, by which he bad been uf fected for some ten days previously. had suddenly assumed a dangerous and alarming phase. the deepest slicitwio and apxiety was manifested by all classes of citizens, and the most intense excitement existed to learn, from time to time. the contents of each succeeding despateh ‘The melancholy tidings were first communi:ated by means of @ special messenger, who arrived from Mr, Webster's residence at Marshfield, carrying the sad i telligence that the distinguished statesman could survive the day. Om the previous Tuesday not the slightest danger had been apprehended from Me. Wub ster’s illness. which was disease of the bowuls, acvom- panied by dropsical affection of the stomach, and his physicians anticipated that he would be able to resume the duties of bis office in a few days; but on thet after- noon the disorder unexpectedly assumed @ more ment cing aspect, and he gradually grew worse aud worse vatil Thursday, when Dr. Jeffries, the physician in attendance, began to feel alarmed for the reanlt, On Thursday night Mr Webster had a very cevere atiack of vomiting, but at five o'clock on Friday morning, when the special messenger left Marshfleid, he had sani snto a sleep The Hen, George T. Curtis, who bad beon in attend- ance on the dying statesman, returned to Boston on Friday morning, und confirmed the sad intelligence of Use hopelessness of Mr, Webster's recovery; and ou the feme morning a letter was reoeived trom his privute sec- retary, by the Hon Ldward Everett, plating that he was not expected to survive many hours longer Mr, Webster was fully sensible of bis approaching end, but looked forward to it with magnanimous resignation, Like the great Jewish law-giver, “his eye was wot dim nei! her wus hisnaturalstrergth abated.’ His intellecta- al faculties were as bright and powerful a8 in their most halcyon days, and among all the sorrow-strickuu friends relatives, and admirers, who surrounded his couch, and with whom he conversed free y, he was of all the inost placid, serepe, and unaffected, Nor in this last scene and preparation for eternity wax the great man unmindful of his duties to hie family, his household, and bis country. On Thursday forenoon he reevived his mail as usual, and gaye the directions for an swers to his letters, many of which were rent to the post office at Boeton by express the eame evenlug. To the workmen on his farm he also gave directioas as to their operations for the day. and, in the course of the evening, he proceeded to complete various matters of busines which he conceived to be of importance, On Thursday evening he executed his Ins) will and } the details of which he gave particular attention, During all these transactions, and throughout the whole evening. Mr. Webster showed an entire self: poxser- ion, and the most perfect comporure and clearness of all faculties, epeuking, with his peculiar uptnese of phrave ogy. words ofkinduess and consolation to those around him, and expresting religious sentiments, approvriate to his condition, with the greatert simplicity and carnsst ness, His veice wae as clear and distinct as i¢ ever wu and bir mind showed constant evidences of (bore quatittes of exactness and power which had so strongly charas- terized bis career, During Friday, the dying etaterman had three attacks of vomiling—one st two o'clock io the morning. one at eight o'clock in the moroing. and one at four o'clock in the afternoon From that time up till seven o'clock he lny in a piseid stato, apparently free from pain, and vereing alittle with the members of his family. Eis physi cian, Dr Jeffries, forbade general converraliod, as talking produced a nausea which might be followed by vomiting Abcut seven o'clock he recovered somewhat from (he critical condition he had been in; but his state was nor considered essentially improved, and the physteians en terinined wo ray of returning hope, ght which had so long iumined this o ntinent with ile brilliant rays might glimmer for afew hours, more or less, but that its speedy extinction was inevitable, The following bulletin was then tesued by Dr. Jeffries, who with Dr, Porter, had been in eonstant consultation and Fray Mr. Webster has revived somowhat from tho eri " tion be was in Iast ovoning, but is not considerod as inaic- rinlly improved. All through that gioomy day Mr. Webster's mind re mained calm resigned and unclouded He wasfuliy oon- scious of his position, and eurveyed his approaching end with magnavimity. Occasionally, hon nono of his rela tives were prevent, he would ad: 8 words of consolation and encouragement to the rorrowing friends who sur. rounded his bedride; and be spoke of public matters with ‘a feeling of that «ame predominant faterest in tho welfare of the country which he had always manifested.
