as have heretofore said, that Mr.. Webster 0on,,

support Of Mr. Webster aud his friends, the Proc
dent, in his application to Congress for mili,ar,
force, would, ~ to numbers, be IN most conem1.
tibe minority in the Senate. Not more than tb,,.
teen Of what are termed Jacksonmcn in that b,l
dare to trust him with the exercise Those hover.
for which he so hnxiously signs.
In the support which Mr.. Webster, on the nr..
sent occasion, yields 10 the President there is mn.
thing improper or Inconsistent. There is no g.,
erifce ofprincpc. No bending to circumstance
No want Of patriotism. am not disposed, and i
was this is not the time, to discuss TIE abstroe
question-which party, those who apprchendej
consolidation, or those who were for strengthenin,
the state sovereisnties, was right, and which was
wrong The latter, entertaining more charita
BILE opinion Of mankind than the former were most
ANXIOUS TO guard against the encroachments of
power and were willing to trust more 10 the virtue
and intelligence Of the people. Each of these par.
ties embodied many of tie wings Of the revolution.

honorable and consistent. lie would, indeed, Gu,

principles because Gen Jackson and his cabinel
had avowed their conviction of the necessity f.
calling those principles into operation, when the
peace and unity Of the nation WINS pcrilled-
But very different would be Mr.. Webster's 81.
tuation il he should think of accepting office uudet
the reigning dynasty He never can He move

one of great delicacy. To accept Office, waul
afford his enemies an opportunity Of charging HIM
with merccnary motives, adopting the po.ify
which he has adopted. Whatever share of ami.
t'on Mr. Webster may possess, i, is not of sci
fish and sordli character, but Of a higher aud mole
elevated order. Already have the miserable an

press, cshb,ei their apprchcnsions, lest he sbool
IN reality, be called into the counsels of the Pre-.

In such an event. they must again sink into tho
native element fer nothing but the troubling of tn
waters could ever have broush t them to the stu
