have been saved from the dreadful fate which
attended the unfortunate passengers in the

not much surprise MS That gentleman is so

We commence to day, the publicntion OF 11r
Websters Tariff Speech. 1t is already highly cele-
brated, and we could desire it be printed in let
tiers of gold, and nailed up every cross Road, in
Pennsylvania and Kentucky, for the especial benefit
of Mcssrs Clay and Tod.
We shall commence Mr. Crawford's vindicat ton
i'll our next paper. The editors ofthc Inielligencer
seem TO exact very unreasonable haste from Others

It will b. conceded, is much more investing Docu-
