Mr.. Webster was now loudly caNt

annother quarter of the stage to ii.
following effcct:----
Mr.. Webster said Tint he feared ibl|
attempt to make himself heard wmld|
he a vain one. Never before had ts
land in which we lived seen a snS
tacle like the present. We count ns
by thousands. They are here ia
the borders of Canada and the rivn
of Georgia. They are here from The
seacoast and the heart of the country.
The states are here, every one of them
through their representatives. The
"Ohd Thirteen" of the Republic arc
here from every city and every coun
try, between the hills OF Vermont an,
the MYERS of the South. The nat
thirteen, too, are here, without bio

states are here. No local or limie
feeling has brought them here, no fee
ling but an American one, a heart
attachment 10 the country. w al

that we belong 10 a country where on

All agree continued Mr.. Webs
that we have hard times, and many,

in a strong and stentorian voice,
members of the Convention to

sense of the obligations they owed
the country. We were called up
to accomplish, not n momcntary vie

half a century. II was not 10 be e.

years would bring together sud@
asscmblage as we have before MS ne
revolution should be one which a&a
