Referring i'll an edorial article, to Mr. Webs,cr's
Speech on Foots resolution, the Editor of the Tel.
egraph affirmed that Mr. " ebsier had said sthc Fed.
eral Government was established by the People who
had impaired Ia H. uulimtaI o-..~ -. St..--
and the Constitution" 1t was scarcely necessary
for Mr. Webster, to contradict Gaving taken n posi-
ton, SO absurd and untenabc. and which the most
high flying fedeIalists had never assumed, and which
no lawyer skilled in the Interpretation Of LEGAL nsru
mcnts, ever did contend, or ever could have con,en
ded for. On Thursday however, after the Journals
had been read Mr.. Webs or rose md addressed rho
Senate fJuows:

things equally false, that "Mr. Webster commended
that the National Government was established bv the

our seats hero altogether, to protect ourselves
while IN them from such wilfil and asrocious CALVIN
MES by those who are admitted on our floor and bo
receive through our hands, large disbursements Of
the public money. It becomes us sir other to no
nome ana yield up our places to men of n better
spirit than ourselves, else to show that we will
not be either bulied slandered by persons circnn
stanced like this publisher of the free exercise of
the right of discussion.
rise therefore, sir, to give notice, that on the
next similar occurrence, which, iudUipp from tho
past, may be daily expected shall make il tho sub
Jec, of specific motion TO the Senate should do
so now SIR. If followed the inclination of nv own
Judgment; but 1t Is thought by others, TO whom |
defer that the coursclwhich have thus ndopted NAV
on the Whole, be more advisable.
On Friday, Green in his Telegraph, republishes
the offensive artice--says that it never purported
TO contain tho language but the principle merely Of
Mr. Webster's Speech-nnd reahirme the truth oft
On the same day Mr.. Webster offered resolution
Tor proceeding on the 9TH February to the election
Of Printer to tic Senate. Tic resolution lies

that his auson to tho character Of the Fede,aI
Government, affirmed tho exactly opposite corstrpc
ton to that imputed to him by the Telegraph.
