Daniel Webster

Distinguished Guests

The Hon. Daniel Webster and lady, accompanied by Miss Downs, daughter of Commodore Downs, arrived in this town on Monday afternoon, and took rooms at the Edgartown Hotel. He went blue-fishing on Tuesday, and caught two-thirds of the fish taken, notwithstanding he was accompanied by extra fishermen.
 
Mr. Webster, we learn, will remain here till Saturday, previous to which time it is his intention to visit the far-famed promontory of Gay Head.
 
The Hon. Henry Clay, it is said, will visit our island in a short time.
