I am grieved particularly to be obliged to differ in anything from yourself and your excellent father, for both of whom I have cherished such long and affectionate regards.
But I cannot see it to be my duty to join in a secession from the Whig Party for the purpose of putting Mr.Van Buren at the head of the Government.

I pray you to assure yourself, my dear Sir, of my continued esteem and attachment, and remember me kindly and cordially to your father.
Yours, etc., DANIEL WEBSTER Honorable E.Rockwood Hoar.
Mr.Hoar had before had a somewhat interesting interview with Mr.Webster to the same effect.

Late in the winter, before the convention at Philadelphia, some young Whigs had a dinner at the Tremont House, to concert measures to support his candidacy.

There were forty or fifty present.

Mr.Webster was expected to speak to them, but his daughter Julia was very ill.
