reply, commended that tine Northern States had nj

mentioned the blessings that bad resulted from OK
Guiding slavery from Ohio, &c Fhs commenced Tho
grand contest. On Monday MIR. Hnync concluded
mis- eloquent speech, in reply to the last from Mr..
Webster. He was impassioned and even violent in
his manner he took rapid view of the history
ofpartles, and denounced n strong terms the Fed
eralists Of 1919 He read extracts TO show that tho
party to which Mr. Webster had belonged had then
almost dissolved the Unioo.-His attacks upon Mr..
Webster we're incessant.--He also denounced in
the most indignant manner the Tariff,and Internal
improvements. and conterded that the States had
right to nuify those acts. | must do Mr. Hsynn
the justice to repeat, that he eloquent and that
his speech was worthy of his reputation. Upon the
conclusion Of his speech, Mr.. Webster rose to speak
but gave way for motion to adjourn. The nexi
day the anxious crowd had again assembled and as
ter little preliminary business he commenced.
We 40 not wish 20 be extravagunt; but we must
say, this effort exceeded our highest cxpectstions
For two days, Mr.. Webster unclaimed a numerous
audiences no wearness no safety felt; but ev-
cry man drunk in with pleasure and delight the deep
ear tones OF bis voice unconscious of the pror4 ass
VT time. He wus calm, collected and dgnihed.--l
lie showed that the shafts of h antagonist had fall
Gn hurmless at his feet At times he severe and
sarcastic His irony pointed and delicate ponctra-
ted at every thrust. Yhs very weapons that had
been uScd against him. he seized aud turned Into in
struments of attack upon his assaiant. But the sec
nod day, IN his argument upon the constitutional pov
er of State to muliiIy OF Congress, he was
eminently great. To use figure Of Mr. Haynes
be had forced upon his shoulders the pillars of the
temple Of ignorance Ind prejudice, and let tho light
OF reason an upon the worshippcrs there. Phc pc
roratiou of bis speech more than clnqucnt--ItI
sublime. Tlc bTeathcss attention Of the nu-
,dience, while lasted and the muTmur of applause
that involunary broke from almost every specta-
tor bore witness to the orators power. His pollti-
cal opponents ceased for tho moment TO retain hard
thought against him, and bowed tc the majesty of
mind.
In the course Of Mr. Webstcrs speech, with
magnapimity Which rebounds to his credit, he com.
piimentsd the distinguished of Carolina, and
Yielded his tribute OF admiration To the services Of
that pat lotto State. a true American IN principle

That this brilliant effort viii have the effect of
producing better state of feeling throughout the
country, we baye no doubt. That il will elevate MIR.
Webster still higher III the estimation OF the public,

glad that an opportunity has been given him for
saying exactly what he did say
