ii does respond wishes, yet clashes with the
sentiments Of the Wings and nfends their Clay prepos-

Webster has provoked what fate he IS 10 expect tor HIM

have not for all their squibs and all their denun
cations of his Boston Speech-and we must content
ourselves with very few extracts. The following
extract from the Philadelphia Correspondent Of the n
In,egencer Of the 9Th instant but moderate specI-
men of the spirit of the Wing press:

tie Wing presses say Of ''the Godl'kc man. The
Nt,c lOrk Courier and Enquirer thinks il lar more
credtable the talents and ingenuity OF MIR. Webster
than to his integrity politician, or lns fearless IN
dependence as mnn And adds-"Look at IL III

Of the reader the same-that II IS special plea
to retain Office, and, at the time, the respect and
confidence Of the Wing party That Mr.. Webster
this ia very apparent and there is in consequence,
restraint aud AN kwardaess about the entire speech,
which destroys both lis beauty and lis force Nobody
can get up the perusal Of II, without feeling that
Mr. Webster would most gladly that thus cup could nave

oil who apprc ciaie his great intellect, 10 witness his
lhroes and struggle TO make appear that there is al
least little affinity little show OF harmony
between his incnaiions and his duty. THIS IS the
great aim of the speech-and, IN this regard, u Is
most signal future
| The .Ntto York american considers The speech as
conclusive evidence of Mr. Websters determination To
remain in office, and observes:
| sJustice TO our sentiments Justice to what we
consider the feelings and the interests Of the Wing
party compel to add that in judgment, IT is the
speech Of public man determined TO retain office IN
opposition 10 the views Of those with whom he has
heretofore acted, and bent upon usfying the policy
and course OF administration which ostentatousiy
proclams itself adverse to the party BY winch 1t was
| placed in power
| The n. Y Tribune says: son all these and many
subordinate points, MIR Webster puts himself directly al
issue wtb the great body Of his former political friends
Nay, more: 1t ia not too much to say, that Mr. Web
ster the Tyler Secretary of State, puts himself d.
recty at with Mr.. Webster, the Patriotic Citizen
and Statesman Able this speech is, il is impossible
not feel perusing il that it is the struggle OF
u morass which he feels is destined to enguph
him Alternating from sophsiry to spleen, the orator
bptrays profound consciousness Of the difficulties OF his
difficulties too great ZEN be by
any but mighty man. In his constant effort to make
the appear the better 10 apparent mat
M man can be less satisfied with The result than Is Mr.
Webster himself.
