through a column and half Of the newspaper that con-

calls hard names and threatens hard knocks, to those
who call him so. We least ncquIt him of this crime
He must permit us TO doubt that his giant weight,
and that of his immediate friends, alone sustained the
Constitution the hour of trial God forbid tia, the
sacred instrument should depend for rs prrscrra
ton upon members Of the Hartford Convention, and It's
friends and ahclirrsi Mr.. Webster, after advising the
people of Suffolk Ia be ,rtJ footcd, the meaning o
which We pretend to comprehend, tells them that
the Sub Treasury was forced upon the people and

THIS a advocate OF the arstorrac and tcdc
raj doctrines NAV entertain: but If the orator had been
Democrat and had formed or spoken his sentiments
as such, he would say there had been measure
proposed to the country which had undergone more
searching investigation, or which had won MS way
o popular favor against more formidable oppnsltron
and owed It's final success entirely 10 the rreslst
hlt force of truth Mr.. Webster next attacks the
Administration the of extravaganza and lis
intolerance, mixing up the two Heterogeneous sub
rcs thoroughly, that il is scarcely possible {"
parac them. The first has been most trIumphany
eulcd for, stripped of expenditures that have arisen
from the cStingushment of the public debt and Go
vernment agencies, the expenses of Government
have been extremely moderate, and made with great
cyactness and economy: while the numerous Wings

the most ruthless and unrecnting manner, without
regard TO their fitness capacity but solely on ac
count of their pnl''ics MIR Webster then repeated The
often rcued alscnood which imputeS TO Mr.. Buchanan,
and 10 other dstins ushed men of the Democratic party,
the sentiment that sthe wages of labor ought TO be
duced Mr. Webster said, 'iGr,r thof' What has he
not what Will he not aver Pratt pwdor Mr.. V. Burcns
written declaration 10 the contrary, and the often uttered
sentiment of Mr. buchanan, and the whole Democratic
party that stha country the most happy where labor
commands the greatest reward, must have been fresh in
the recollection of Mr. Webster at the time he venured
to make this extraordinary assertion. With singular
nfatuation, MIR Webster dwells upon the distress of
the laborng classes in Europe and assures The people
of Suffolk tha, the Subrrcasury vii! reduce them to
condition. Now did the truth never occur 10
Mr.. Webster that all the misery aud distress OCCASION
ed b. low wages IN England, originated in the same
policy that he and has friends eager ascn upon
this country: Dad II never occur 10 Mr. Webster that
the 10 which bank ISSUES and the abuse of the
credit system carried IN England high taxes and
high Tariff splendid schemes OF Internal Improve

crazy, with which that land cursed are the real

here, he and his friends succeed in Their efforts 10
deceive the people, and 10 ;om them their power
The next subject dwet upon BY Mr. Webster is the
standing army project, he calls Mr. Po.nsets plan
