tiOhs-
Resoired. That in the opinion OF the Conven-
ton, the present admnstrd ton of the State Gov
eminent has been distinguished by its impartial

public policy on which our prosperity, and lnon,

| il the duty of every citizen Of Massacusetts to
shew the enthu siasm which he ought 10 feel tor

been sacrificed to miserable competition for
the spells of party victory, aud the personal
emoluments Of office:
| We have strong confidence in the redeemng
power of the people, and an animating hope that
this great nation will again be placed under the
councils Of those eminent statesmen ny whose
wisdom. under God, ITS power is to be main

Mr.. WeJs'er's Speech MIR. WEBSTER has
been the presiding spirit of the scene to-day
His speech on Mr.. Austin's resolutions was
most mastery effort. Public expectation was
aroused TO the highest pitch. and it was most album
dantiy satisfied The galleries of the church
were filled to overlooking, for an hour & pre-.
vious to the time designated by him last evening,
when he would lay his hopes and his fears in re.
gard 10 the present crisis, before the Conven-
ton. and through the Convention to the
people. There was eIoquence in his man
ner. in his topics, and in his conceptions. You
might read in the expression Of couhtenance that
met your eyes from every part Of the Assembly,
that the convictions Of his mind which he desired
to impress upon the Convention, were already
shooting up and expanding into precisely the con.
clusions that he wanted. The deep and foil in
donations Of his voice gave most powerful EN-.
Phasis to his premonition, that the permanence OF
our Republican Institutions, the stability Of the
Federal Constitution, and the continuance of the
spirit of liberty in cur highly favored land, would
depend almost entirely upon the overtime lof the
present administration by the people, and the
substitution Of better and wiser men in their pIa
ces- To give any thing but brief outline Of his
splendid address, is utterly out of my power,
