MR.. wEBsrER's SPEECH AT BOSTON.

Nit WEBSTER, by appointment, met a large
number of the people of Boston on Friday last, Mt
Fsnueil Hall, and in reply to brief address of
welcome by the Mayor, made long speech, which
we have before us in the Northern papers. This
.peech was looked TO with considerable interest
by the Wings of the country, because II was ex-
p.c,ed thar Mr.. WEBSTER would define his posi-
tion to the Wings, as also his relations, present
and future, to his excellency Captain TYLER. 1t
had also been limited in many quarters, that he
would resign his place in the Cabinet as soon as
the treaty, which all acknowledge he has so ably
negotiated with Lord AsHBURroN, ratified,
and public expectation was on tip'toe to hear pub
lcly from the lips of the great Daniel his open re-
ouncation of JoHN TYLER and his administration,
and all this too from the cradl q liberty, Fanuei
Hall Well the day came, and we have speech
from the Sectetsry Of State, in which he avows
himself to be Wing, and cautions any one to be-
ware before he attempts to read him out of the
Wing church, but be nevertheless makes sundry
apologies for Mr.. TYLER. and thinks that there
are certain diplomatic questions remaining TO be
adjusted which require or justify him in remaining
IN the Cabinet, until further notice, we presume.
Tbis speech has given much dissatisfaction TO the
Wings, who were willing in great measure, to
overlook Mr.. WrBsrER's past dereliction from the
path of true Wing, and bad INDUCED the hope
that he would take the present very hting oPpor-
tunity to re unite himself more 10 his former
political associates, by severng the connection be-

OF the Speech itself we nsed hardly say, that it

gentleman who delivered it,--and would we could

tice to what we consider the feelings and the inter
eats OF the Wing party, conpels ~ to add that in
our Judgment, it is the speech OF public man de-
termned to retain office in opposition TO the views
OF those with whom he has heretofore acted, and
bent upon justfying the policy and course OF an
administration which osteniatously proclaims it.
