" Kro yet Decay's cllaclnft (ItiRcrs, Had swept tho llnrs where geniua linger," that bo wan gone forever. Thousands after thousands passed in silence nnd in sadness by iliat coffin, lonkiug ihoir Inst unon that noblo fortn nnd luce, until ihe miti- isteref flod iho young clergy maimf the village church standing in the porch otiliw house, rained hm tremu-lous voice nnd tittered his fervent prayer unheard, indeed, by the listening thousands on iho lawn, but yet joined in instinctively from ihn throbbing hearts, of alt This cnd'il, n plain wngon body, covered wiih black cloth, n"d drawn by two bla k hore. eneh h d by n l ibor'ng mnn, was drawn up in fnmt of the house, and tV collin was placed upon it by the hands f six neiL-h- tinrs - farmers; ned men, with uncovered heada, sil vered by nge, with forms erect and vigorous; of grave npect and slow but firm-set tread. Tho iiMiurnful pro-region then set forth from tho nhnde of ihe living to Iho nnrrow Iioiino of the dead. There whs im poinn no plumes, no "storied urn," no scarf nothing but Iho solemn Dead, nnd tho sorrowing thnunHtid wlie mourned him in their benrts, Thnsitn of Mr Wkrhtrii his only surviving child, accompanied by his lliree sous, followed the coil'm j then other male relatives and mem bers of llm family, nnd then the colored servants, men and women, six in number nil dress-d in mournina, nnd all unmistakably allowing that their mourning wan not iti their " inky weeds," but in their inmost souls. This constituted the household of wo. Alter them followed the great of tho earth, who hnd come thero to render in person, and as representing others States cities professi-uis ihe Inst homage to his surpassing talent nnd surpaiii patriotism. An thn long lino wound round tlio hillock and thtnughihe vnlloy, and ngam up tho nrclivily where the tomb wn. placed, tho whole nir a "solemn stillness held," and except in Iho nienurrd tread of iho procession, acaice n sound was nudible. On reaching the nppointed place, n short prayer wan mid, nnd tho immeilinio ro Intivei retired, leaving lite mighty dead in tho rnro of thn niaembled people, ami iho peisnnid friends immediately charged with tho details of tlio fuuernl. Ami now il wan found that a new accession of some two thousand persons, perhaps, arrived by steamboat, were on the ground, nnd nnxtotis once ngain to look upon tho fnee of the great man. Again iho coil'm lid was removed, nnd before ihe portals of that tomb, whidi opened to receivo its prey, tho iiew-coirieis pnsved in procession, two nnd two, dividing nt the r lliu and proceeding on each side of it, (ill all hnd looked upon him. And honorable was it to our common nature this strange and unwonted spectacle for it presented no single instance or levity, or even of mere niiHeenily curiosity. It wns the gratification f a strong nod earnest feeling, ami the countenances of ihe pasers.by wore grave and anil, an though each hnd loat n near and ilenr companion, counsellor nod friend. No form of words, indeed, can express more strikingly I hnd almofttsaid poetically I lie sense of tint chasm mole in iho ranks of our common humanity by such n loss, than wns done by n single word, tittered unconsciously of its full import ami beautiful expressivem as, by a mnn of the pooplo who, pausing sadlv nt the t-oflin. with desponding expression of voice niul head, said " Tho world will be tonctome without ihee !" At Inst enmo the hour, the parting hour, when the body of Daniel Webster was to bo shutout till tho lianl doom from the light of dny thn jaws of the inexorable tomb were closed, and noiselessly, gravely, melted nwny thnt aggregate of thousands and ho was left alone alone on iho sterile New England hnl in aidit of the old gray Ocean which he so much loved, und whoso hoarse voice sounding, as it was in iho beginning, is now, nnd long will be will unceasingly rhaunt his requiem. Mr. Webster built his own tomb, of rough-hewn, massive granite. The floor lies six feet below the unto ml level of the site, and the roof rises as far, hut is covered with luxurinnt sod, forming a green mound. Nothing ran be morn simple than the wholeapp-nr-anco of ibis sepulchre. The only thing which wouM instiogutaii it as a piaro or unusual mierrst, is the small plnin, marble slab over ihe door, on which are iesrrib ed in bold characters, the revered nnmo of DANIEL WEHSTElt. Hera now reposes all that is left us uf him who so nobly represented Mint mime. Is it not a lilting place to lay him T Hy mouth Itock is almost in sight of his lomb. The Pilgrims rest nil nhout turn ; and the Ocean which spreads before tho extended view, and bears upon its bosom numerous vesMfls of commerce, whose tenants, ns thoy enter or depart the harbor, mov look upon the llomonud Tomb of Webster ever sings his mournful requiem.

Tho Statctman claims it as a triumph of Fillibusterisrn, Tho Washington Union snys Ihat the charge of Filibustering; is a Whig falsehood.

It does not menu, ns many suppose, a dis tinction in reference to age, but is unothor name for wlmt li is long boon recognized hb the ' Progressive Principle.' Of course, it iw, ut yet, llm name of a sentiment, nnd not of n party; but tho titno is drawing when ' louiig Americu,' ns a distinct political organization, will stop forth to battle under its own banner, for its own peculiar principles. The ttiiieB seem to call tor such a party.

Plnin Denier. Here is a hint lownnh th" disintegration of both the old parlies and llm formation of a " Young Americn " patty. The progressive spirits are "sick" of the tiirdine: B of ilieir respective pirtiti.

One is, to dispense with Ihe machinery of electors, and permit the people to vote directly for President. Another is, an amendment requiring al questions of iicquisiiion of territory, either free or slave, to be lubmtted to a vote of the people. Wo aro totally opposed to all agitation ou ihese and kmdri d topics. We do n't want to seo tho venerable conatitutum of tho United 8tatos disturbed. We want the people of tho nation to feel that that instrument is sacred, nnd to bo respected and obeyed in all future time. We have now in ihe land, at least among the better portion of tho people, a feeling of respect and roverenco for this instrument, and a veneration for the memory of tho great mid good men who made- it. We aro utterly opposed It) this modern. French idea of chnuge, every fow years. Thoy can put up and put down constitutions, there, at the rate of five in ten years. Tho practical result is a contempt for oil con-siituiions and laws that fur a moment stand in their road. They go by a " higher law " model ; that is, a law of their own whims, and prejudicesand passions. Their constant changes have become a by-word among tho people of other nations. Now, we trust wo shall not live to see tho day when these thing! shall bo in tho United Statea. Wo say to our people, lot tho good old constitution stand as it is. It bondono glorious sorviceto our country to Human ity throughout the earth. Let it stand. Don't beeinXo tamper wiih it. Don't think of such a thing. Keep alivo and perpetuate that feeling of mvoienco and re-poet for (hat winch has done mid is doing so much to keep us from onnrchy. If we begin to amend, whore shall wo stop 1 How long will it bo before wo shall get by the ears on the Slavery question? Who wants tu seo Biich a struggle ? It is fur better to ondure wlmt we may think is wrong, or unwise, in that venerublo instrument, thnn to endniigor iho peuce and quiet of the Union, and tlio perpotuity of our national existence, by getting up an agitationnnd quarrel about it. There muy bo features thero which we do not approve. Hut those very features wero perhaps inserted because some body elsn thought them essential, and would never have agreed lo some of our notions if wo hnd not agreed to theirs. Government Is, at best, but a ay stem of compromises. No man gets everything ho wards, in a coristiiulion or n law, and we aro all obliged to take some things wo do not liko, in order to secure some greater good. Such is tho history of rill free governments, and such is eminently the fact in regard to the constitution of tho United S'utes. Hut, the first amendment above proposed cannot bo adopted, becauso it deprives the small Status nf a per tion of the power lliey now enjoy. Delaware, for instance, has only one representative, but bIip casts three electoral votes. Now, if tho people vote direcily for rreaident, this little btalo would only luvo as much power ns a Congressional district, whereas they now hnvoMr timet as much power. It is bused on the idea ihat each of iho Slates is ti free and equal ttmrrign-ty, and must corno in, if not ns equnls, nt least approaching it. In Iho Senate all aro equals. Delaware has ns many Senators as hns New York in Congress, nnd for electors her people choose ihrco, though they bnve but one Congressional district. The small S'ates are not disposed tu relinquish (his right. Thoy are justly jenlous of iho largerSlates, and neeer will part with their rights. Nobody believes that tin amendment of the kind proposed could bo adopted. The discussion of it would only engender strife, ill blond, and turmoil, and result in a failure in Ihe end. We do not consider Iho second proposition of inter est or importance enough to justify ail interference wiih the good old constitution. Wo aro therefore op posed to al) those new propositions, and devoutly hope and expect tho people will agree lo let well enough alone, especially when there is no hop0 of getting anything heller. Hh whs a spirit to winch Young America ' responded in-tiiriively. Between the soul of .lack n und tho soul of the youn;: nnd aidnit reformer there wasr-lec-Irie sympathy. There wus much in John C. Calhoun lo illiisirato th B.'iiii" remark; whilo, as wo estimate tho imiri, old Sum. Hoiitton is a fit exponent of iho combination tu which wo refer the sympathies of energy and experience." Plain Dealer. Now, mny tho Lord have mercy on our souls ! Old Sam Houston is tin model of th pnlitical Messiah, who is to represent the new epoch.

Wo repaid it as ibe success of ihe Democracy, whoso life is yet full of strength and promise, and which luid the foundation ol all our prosperiiy." Which of you Ins " gut bis foot in il," wo don't knuw. If tho Interests of the country, of morality, of liberty, wero not too much involved, wo would laugh nt your predicament, and grow fnt. Hut good God ! what a spcrlncle !

The Democratic party, nt. rib, south, enst and west, can show a clean sheet on that quesiion. Not a solitary man wna for him Their delegates in Convention, without exception, res ohitoly voted for niher candidates, ballot after ballot, d;iy after day. Every man whom anybody desired to seo President wns brought forward nnd voted for in vain. Piiiicr owes his nomiiialinn tn tho i action of mental nnd physical exhaustion. He is not the product of lovo and health, but of a parentage feeble and senilo from anxious, repealed, exhausting, vain efforts towurds a more vigorous birlh. All parlies opposed hun as far ns rircumsintices would permit. When nominated his own party were obliged to go for him, for ih. y say ho was ihe last chance. The Whiff party. foeling nosurh political necessity, continued io oppose him down to tue election, though pot quile so umini-inotidy as his own p irty did heforo bis nomination. A great many more Whigs voted for him at iho polls thnu ihero wero Democrals who wuuted him muni-nat. d.

It is amusing to read in the Washington Union, New York Herald, &c, long and glowing articlea nhout Iho national character of the Locofoco party and its purity from all sectional, Kreo Soil ideas. This does very well to talk about, but don't amount to much, practically, as the practice of that nrnne party, in Massachusetts, demonstrates. In the very number of the Washiuglon Im'on which spouts so proudly of the position ill party occupies, wo find a long letter from Boston, atid in it ia the following admission : " In some of the Senatorial districts there is a coalition between tho Democrats and Free Boilers merely for local purposes ; and oven in these very few districts there is a frank avowal on the part of the Democrats ihat thoy will go for the constitution and the Union and National Democracy, There ia no difference tn opinion among Democrat! on this subject." Now, what is meant by this phrase, " union for local purposes? " It ia simply union for victory, for success, for the spoils of office. Last year these patriot! had a union for tocat purposes, and elected Chablei Buhner to tho United Blatci Senate. The unioa also elected Boutwkll Governor. Tho same kind of union has been consummated in the most uf tho districts this season, and carried out too, by men who talk very fiippautly of Skward and the higher law. We know it is the tendency nf things for two parties in a minority, to unite to put down a third and majority party. But it has a bad look to see a man de. nuunciug it and at tho same time sanction oud uphold his political friends for doing this very thing. The consistency of ft don't strike us very favorably. ' OLD VIRGINIA. If any body else than a Virginian had said the hard hut true things that wo copy below from the Frcderickburgh Nctci, of that State, her Chivalry would have been after him with a sharp slick. This editor is about tho most indignant man we have heard from, since tho election. Ho is just mad enough to write with force and vigor, and tells a vuriely of plain truths in u very plain, blunt, decisive way. Hear him t This old Commonwealth hnaagaindishonored herself in seeking to dishonor her son. Tlie late election furnishes the fourth instance within tho last twelve years, whn Virginia hns rejected tlio claims ot those distinguished men who sprung frotn hor loins. In '40, when almost every Slu'e in the Union thought Gen. Harrison worthy iti every respect to bo our President, wo find this old croaking imbecile repudiating his pretensions and ruimin afier that "meet little fellow,' whose niggar proclivities fit him eminently lor the leadership ot tlie frocsoil faction of New York. In 1814, when the gifted Clay wan shedding a blaze of glory around his native Slate when all over the world lie wns esteemed the brightest star in that galaxy which gave such a bright halo tu his country's fame, this same old driveller spurned him f rom her confidence nnd took to her bosom a little miserable fifth rate Tennessee County Court Lawyer. Apain in 1818. when from the battle field and cover ed all over with glory, one mighty cntaruct of popular sentiment pronounced the hero ot Buena Vista a fit re cipient for the highest honors of the nation, again Ibis old dotnrd declared her favorite son wns unworthy of the high honors which the Union delighted to bestow upon him.

Tho principles of Locofocoistn which have darkened her lair innd and Mighied her nrighteai hopes, ia the serpent which she hugs to her bosom and the poison of whose deadly fang she nurses in her voius. Deluded by the syren song of democracy she has pormitunl herself (like Siimpsnn) to sleep whilst her locks have been shorn.

In regard to the feeling on the island of Cuba upon the subject of a revolution, a correspondent of the New York Times writes ni follows: I have conversed with two intelligent American gentlemen to-day, both long residents In Cuba, large pro- i",r,u" " tr wni.no ..) iiniuiauco wim nieu and things, by travel and active pursuits. One represented the Creole population as uuivorsially discontented, and diijiosed lo complain of the Americans for being indifferent to their snlferings, and not willing to raise a hand for their relief. Tlie other said that the notions of diicnntent wore all a fiction and humbug that he mmw no one on mo isianii who uesireu a change. Another gentleman wiih whom I have had more conversation, and who is a Spaniard (not a Creole) well ndvanced in life, familiar with almost every civiliied country nnd esperinlly with England, France, and ihe United (dates, besides Ins native country and its colonies differs from both of my American acquaintances, He thinks a very wide spread feeling nt someihing quite nearly allied to envy tnwnrda the United Slates, has grown up among Ihe most intelligent classea of the Creoles, and thatihey would gladly avail themselves nf any chance lo assimilate their condition to that of the people so far in advance of ihem. Yet bethinks Cuba tho frrest and moat leniently governed country in Ihe world, excepting the United Slates. The laxes are not onerous, improvements are encouraged, and the mass of the population contented. There is no turn thing as liberal principles among Ihem, They do not look be yond their present means of subsistence and ease. Without education or ambiiion, and earning an'easy subtis'ence, without rare by the lightest exertion, why should they trouble themselves about ibe perplexities of politics T In fact moat of iliem never havn beard or thought of the itlj-stt.
