Encouraged by Fillmore's professed lack of desire to pursue the Whig nomination in the 1852 U.S. presidential election, Webster launched another campaign for the presidency in 1851. Webster lost the nomination to Scott after Fillmore and Webster Whig delegates were unable to get behind one candidate. By early 1852, Webster had begun to suffer from cirrhosis of the liver, and his poor health increasingly made it difficult for him to serve as secretary of state. He died in Marshfield, Massachusetts on October 24, 1852 at the age of 70. (Image1) (Image2) (All Images)
