Mr.. CUSHING AND MR.. WEBSTER.

Some time since we noticed base charge against
Mr.. Cushing contained in letter written by one Of
the pitiful scribblers Of the New York Courier, in
which was the following remark
" The Herald the Court journal, heaped all the
abuse and insults which CALEB CUSHlNG'S
pen could indite on the Secretary Of State"
This letter was extensively copied by such papers
the Louisville Journal, in the West the Republic
can, in this city also made great flourish about the
perfdy" Of Mr.. Cushing and If our memory serves
Alright published this letter, with appropriate com
ments. We awaited ourselves of the earliest opportu-
nifty 10 contradict the vile assertion. Yesterday we
received the following letter from Mr. Cushing which
speaks for itself:
Boston, Oct 81, 1S4l
DEAR Sir l perceive, by your paper of the 18th
instant that some base and mendacious print at the
West accuses of having sought to inJure MIR. Web
ster through the New York Herald, and thank you
most heartily for yourp contradiction Of this
luminous charge; and beg permission to confirm
what you have said the subject ofhe falsity ofhat
accusation in all its parts and relations and to add
that, whoever shall impute TO any purpose act
of injury TO Mr.. Webster, | pronounce every such
person liar and scoundrel.
am you're, respectfully,

Sptakership-Loeofoeo Consi,t.nev

SpsakershiP-Loeol0eo Consistency
Anew years ago, when the Wings had near TWEEN,
ty majority in the House OF Delegates, some Wings
deeming it nothing but right, that the Speaker
should reflect the political sentiments OF the
majority, proposed to supplant MIR Speaker
! Banks. The proposition was denounced IN the
most violent terms by the Enquirer as involving the
most outrageous prescription. We were told, that
the People Of Virginia ought never, and would ne.
yer, tolerate such a diabolical proceeding "what
exclaimed the venerable curlosIy,) turn ndri(i an
able and faithful public officer, because he does not
happen to think with a majority of the House OF
Delegates! Shall freedom OF opinion be thus put
under the ban in this enlightened age Forbid it
jusice-forbid it decency The genius of our free,
Republican institutions forbid il! Honest men of
all parties rise up and forbid il"
What has become OF all this thunder? Where
was il, Monday, when the effort was made, under
much more aggravated circumstances 10 prescribe
V. w. Southal2 Il could not be alleged IN the
latter case, in the former, that the Old Speaker
did not agree politically with the majority of the
House. NO-there was no such well founded ob.
lection ns that. MIR Southall did agree with the
majority-bu,it was thought temporary majority
on the other side might sacrifice him, ard foist an
unweleome Speaker upon the House. This was
trick unworthy of tho high-minIed and honou'abS
gentlemen Of that Party. II it had succeeded it
could have mnistered to thsm no real satisfaction.
They must have ielt uneasy at the thought OF hav-
ing employed unfair means to obtain an advantage
over an adversary:-A reflection but little more
agreeable to the OF honour than that Of having
submitted to insult. Neither could it be alleged in
this in the former case that there was either inei-
cheney, or partially. All acknowledged the ability
of the late Speaker, and but solitary individual
was found, who had the hardhood to impeach his
rigid lmplrtilIIty.
The whole opposition and al. the attending cir
eumstances were unworthy of heightened and
manly party. The people cannot sympathize with
an opposition, which had to rely upon q paltry
trick for success, and contemplated the prescription
of one of the pures: men in the Commensurate.
II may be dgnihed with the name Of DsmOera
ey; but it finds no sanction in the cannonS OF honour
and justice, to say nothing OF magnlnmty.
