| | Daniel Webster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In 1822, Webster returned to U.S. Congress from Boston, and in 1827 he was elected to the Senate from the state of Massachusetts. | | | Webster assisted his friend Jeremiah Smith in fighting the action all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States, where he personally argued the case. | | | Webster, however, was successful in defending his stance in a Senate debate of 1830, culminating in his second reply to Hayne [2] in which he uttered the famous phrase, "liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable". |

| | Daniel Webster |
| | Webster was elected to congress from the Boston district, and he was twice reelected by a popular vote that was almost unanimous. | | | Webster, and the result was the Ashburton treaty of 1842, by which an arbitrary and conventional line was adopted for the northeastern boundary, while the loss thereby suffered by the states of Maine and Massachusetts was to be indemnified by the United States. | | | Webster's management of this case went far toward placing him at the head of the American bar, the political significance of its decision was such as to snake it an important event in the history of the United States. |
