1.-THE Resolutions offered BY Mr Webster, m
the House of Representatives, has elected
some Of the ablest and most powerful speeches
and arguments that have ever been heard with
in the walls Of Congress. The debate was
opened by the mover Of the resolutions, in a
speech Of three hours, in which be displayed
the choicest treasures of a mind fertile in every
resource Of elOqueBce, argument aud persua-
sion. High as were the expectations OF the au-
dience who had anticipated from his well earn
ed fame, rich intellectual treat, they were
abundantly gratihed BY the powerful display
they subsequently witnessed The debate was
continued by Messrs. Randolph, Clay, Poinsett,
Dwight, Bartlett, Cuthbert aud others, IN a most
spirited ard brilliant manner, and had not closed
at our last accounts from Washington. We regret
that our limits are such as to deny us the pleas
ure Of giving full report Of any Of these inter
estina debates. Crowded as we are with details
of legislative and other local subjects, we can
only give few extracts from some Of the most
able speeches, which win he found below
The following is the closing paragraph OF Mr..
Webster's Speech.
Mr.. Chairman, there are some things.
which, TO be well done, must be promptly
done. IL we even determine TO DO the thing
that is now proposed, we may do Il too late.
Sir, am not one Of those who are for with

and when the stress is past and the aid no
longer necessary, overwhelming the sufferer
with caresses. | will not stand by and See

forts and presence Of mind, reached the shore
In safety. and then cucumber him with aid.
With suffering Greece, now Is the crisis w
her fate-her great, il may be, her last strlle-

tending with ruthless oppressors, turn their
eyes TO us, and invoke rs by their ancestors.
