MR.. WEBSTER'S SPEECH.

Mr.. Webster has at length defined his
position, so far as he thinks proper TO do
it al present. He takes his stand with
Captain Tyler, with some qualifications,
and manifests a determination to sink or
he purposes remaining in the Cabinet, bul
avows that he will stay there just as long
as he pieases-(Guard wiine). And he
assumes TO censure the great body Of the
Wing party for openly proclaiming that
they have no longer respect for, or conf
dencc in John Tyler, but regard him as
traitor to the principles on which he was
elected, unworthy his station, and an ncu-
bus on the party.
On all these and many subordinate
points, Mr.. Webster puts himself directly
at issue with the great body Of his former
political friends. Nay, more: 1t is not too
much TO say that Mr. Webster, the Tyler
Secretary of State, puts himself directly
at war with Mr.. Webster, the Patriot CtI-
zen and Statesman. Able as this speech
is, it is impossible not to feel on perusing
it that it is the struggle of a strong man in
a morass which he feels is destined to en-
gulph him. Alternating from soPhstry TO
spleen, the orator betrays profound con-
seriousness Of the difficulties Of his position,
difficulties too great even to be encountered
by any but mighty man. In his constant
effort to make the worse appear the better
reason" it is apparent that no man can be
less satisfied with the result than is Mr.
Webster himself.
We do not propose to review this speech.
In a great part Of its positions and views
we heartily coincide. We have always
maintained, and still maintain that Mr..
Webster is the proper guardian Of his own
honor, and the proper Judge of the sufii-
cheney of the reasons for or against his re-
naming in John Tyer's Cabinet We have
ever been willing that he should await his
own Tor John Tyler'D time for his with
drawal from that Cabinet, however his
view of the requirements of propriety and
honor might differ from that of his old
friends. We have ever been DESTROYS tina,
the Exchequer project should be fairly and
fully considered by Congress, and, if sus-
ceptibe of beniicent application there
be even a rational hope of good to the
country from its adoplon,-and we be-
Iieve there is-we would have it adopted.
We rejoice heartily over the settlement Of
the Eastern Boundary question, and cheer
fully unite in rendering praise to Mr.. Web
s'cr for his agency in securing that adjust,

To the latter we would just remark, remem-
her 1910: that "same old coon is not dead,

"slraightway your rejoicing will be turned

turns yet received, but enough is known to
show "how the land lies"

Messrs Bgsson & GREts--Cun you tell me.
what is the intention OF the wings throughout
the country tn thus soon nominating the distin
guIshed Kentuckian for the Presidency Is it TO
supercede the necessity OF O National Conven.
tion and place him before the people, despite
the wishes Of the friends Of other individuals who
are looked upon as suitable PERSONS TO fill the
Presidential Chair? Is it the intention Of the
wing editors Of different portions Of the Union
who have placed the name of Henry Clay at the
head OF their columns as candidate for the
Presidency, 10 refuse 10 go into convention, and
support him, il convention should be held.
whether he is the nominee Of that convention or
moi! AN EYqu1RINa VINO.
In reply to our correspondent, we can
only speak Tor ourselves. In placing Mr..
Clay at the head of our columns as can
didaie for the Presidency in 1914, we only
wished to express our own preference fer
the man who we should like to see elevated
to that station. Should it be deemed expo
dent TO hold National Convention-and
we presume there will be one-we shall be
be governed by the decision of that con-
vention, whether it should select the man
of our choice or not. Mr.. Clay's friends
we presume will be ready and willing TO
submit his claims to a convention when the
time arrives FOR holding one. They do not
wish to thrust him upon the people, but are
willing that he should come before them on
his own merits, and he and they will be
satisfied with their decision.

derstood have been his sentiments for the

from the "crawfshing" tone of his paper,
subsequent TO the one spoken of above,
that the Clique took him TO task for ex-
pressing such leading sentiments without
instructions. Oar advice 10 him is to move
his establishment into the free state of

Calhoun flag floating in the breeze from a
pole some hundred feet high, in "old town."
If he would make this movement, and Sc

supplant the "humbngger," and successfully
