You have seen Mr. Webster : course at Brentwood
and at Portsmouth, New Hampshire. 1t was in perfect
consistency with his political from his first APP
pearance the public stage As early July a. 1896,
he delivered address before the Federal gentlemen
Of Concord in which he inveighs agans; Jefferson adj
lnniSraton. II was shortly after the outrage commit
led the Chesapeake. Then, when a Democratic
Administration striving 20 prevent hostIlItIes from
taxing place between this country and Great Britain,
Webster full of fight as he late occa-
son. when he talked III Congress yalIautly about
running the boundary line, THIS is the manner in
which he speaks Of the Proclamation then issued by
Jefferson:
"This act if it had been committed on the Seine, or
the Thames, without instant rcparaton, s0d hcca the
cause Of a .NatioH0i Har. But in America, where
things are understood better, on'g tie Of

cous Tor national defence, ought 10 tc written IN Ie-
iegraplt, and displayed above the tops Of our light
houses, that it might be and read half way across
The Atlantic, and remain perpetual safeguard TO our
shores"
It is his fashion no,- denounce what he calls the
extravaganza of the Adm astration. See how he de-
rided then the Republican principle Of economy:
sPatro.lsm hath given place to The more laudaoie
spirit OF economy Regard to national honor, that rem
