MUM on the speech of ou' fellow citizen and
townsnan, the Hvn. WV. HUSrER, nigh,
be added the praise which has been bestowed
on the same BY the Baltimore and other South
ern Republican papers. But we shall no,
eon6ae our viswSof this speech to pewspa-
per rumoes alone for we have recently been
informed by gentlemen from, Washington, that
the speech Of Mr.. Hunter was considered at
Washingten, far superior to any one made 10
either house Of congress last session and
when we consider the circumstance under
which this speech was made, our opinion OF
Mr.. Haoter's abilities ought TO be greatly en-
hsneed.
1t was made without delibcration on the
spar Of the occasion and d time too, when
tho mind Of Mr.. Hunter was conside ably en-.
feebled BY indi,posiion. and his spirits great
iY depressed by The alarming sickness Of his
amisble consou.
"The intelligent friends of domestic man
afactures wsuld have been delighted to near
the eloquent speech Of Mr.. Hun,er Of Rhode
Island, In the Senate, in reply to Mr.. Harper,
on this subject SO iu,eresting to our coontty.
Mr.. Hunter, having been chairman OF the
Committee Of Msnufactures in the Senate,
showed himself their Jealous and enlig gh,eped
friend IN the examination Of the subject whic h
took place iu committee, and afterwards, dis
tinguished himself on The flosr ofthe Senate,
IN one OF the most animated debates that |
have Witnessed at the present session. On
this occasion, he eVinccd an exten, Of infor-
nation and learning in political economy--a
depth and originality Of thought, beauty and
brillisdcy Of style, and subiimity OF eloquence,
that would do honor to any statesman of this
or any other country.--It is truly astonishing,
how much reputation depends upon caprice
aud how the public ore humbugged respect
ing what are called great men for really,
Mr.. Hunter, who 10, comparatively spesking,
unknown in the ceun,ry at large, showed him.

the occasion, and unpremeditaied, but trust
a reporter was present TO preserve SO hne 9
specimen of real busincss-Iike oratory, oi

"Mr. Hunter showed himself real Anne
ricau and his talents, which, however, were
before duly appreciated here, could not have
been displayed on a more important occasion,
than in supporting the manufacturing inter-
ests Of bis country, the only true basis Of its
permanen, prosperity and real indie pendenes." /"
