What is il that causes these cries of appre-

Too late, too late do these ''county court
politicians begin TO behold the error of their
ways.
Public opinion, the plain common sense aud
sterling independence of the men OF Massachu-

away by their hasty and foolish fervor.
They find themselves already far away from

MIR. wEBSTER's SPEECH.

In our paper Of to-day will be found the excellent
speech of MIR. Webster, delivered at Faneuil Hall,
on the 30th uit
We have no doubt that this speech will be read
with pleasure by the great majority of our fellow
citizens. AS a specimen of eloquence il is chaste,
clear happy its tone, and in all respects worthy OF
the high and distinguished source from which II pro-
ceeded. As a declaration of opinion and principle IT
is worthy of all commentator.
With the bodness and frmness which form so re-
markable feature in the extraordinary character oil
the Secretary Of State, he stood by Mr. 1yer IN Inc
darkest times of persecution and party lnveetNe-
Himself broad and shining mark for the shafts oil
yindictive attack, he alone of all the members OF
Gen Harrison's Cabinet dared to stand his ground
and maintain his rights and those oil The EAeeu-
tive after the decree had gone forth from The wing
caucus at Washington, branding the Administration
with falsehood and treachery.
Ii may be said of Mr.. Webster, as has once been
spoken in the old world Of one who may have been
bis equal, but could not have been his superior
s'ite Secretary stood alone" Elevated on a pedestal
of moral greatness, he was untouched by the waves
of calumny and abuse which roared around him
Calmly and deliberately he pursued the great ends
which involved the peace war OF the civilized
world, unawed, unmoved by the brutal bursts OF
passion, the more treacherous shafts oil malice
and SANDER launched against HIM by his nVeierale
enemies Looking neither To the right nor to the
left but calmly and laborlousy working EDWARDS
he accomplished the great work committed to ms
care He stands before the world spectacle Of
moral greatness-vast in his intellectual dimensions
stupendous in his calm, invincible frmness.
And now MIR. Webster has come before the people
of his chosen cty-the friends Of his early youth,
the witnesses of his early struggles and the specta
tors of their gigantic results, to tell them, for the
first time, what ne has done, and by what motives he
has been actuated
To say merely that Mr.. Webster has pindeated his
conduct before the people, would be dong HIM IN
Justice He has done more-much morc-he has
made friends of the generous among his adSer-
saries and he has made his ashamed Of their
easily reuted tale
The ultra Wings and the ultra Locofocos alone,
the bitter, uncompromisng, enemies OF Mr.. Tyler
and his administration, find fault with Mr. Websters
speech. They hoped that the President, the object
Of their ruthless, relentless, unceasIng persecution,
would be deserte by the powerful mind which has
hitherto been active in his defence. The Secre-
tary of State neither be inundated nor coaxed
from the straight path Of duty and manly action,
which he has laid down for himself. Happy ia
deed it is for country that such spirits as
DANIEL WEBSTER still live and breathe within ITS
limits

INTOI,ER ANCE

The United States Gazette finds fault with
us for our remarks on political intolerance, and
we think rebuke from that quarter comes with
rather bad grace, when it is well known that
the leading allies of the editor are determined
to withhold the acknowledgement of every thing
like honesty of purpose from the President and
those who act with him. OF late years, editors
have been so accustomed to view men and
things through a partisan glass, that kind
word in favor of political opponent, however
deserving he might be, was sufficient to create
distrust towards the donor, among the cllques
who had the management of every thing, from
the appointment Of ride-waiter 10 the nomina-
ton of President The Gazette seems TO for
get that we acted on the defensive solely, until
forbearance ceased to be virtue. That not
until the vilest epithets were bestowed upon the
President and ourself, by Mr.. Clay, Mr.. Bolts,
and others of that party, did we carry the war
into Africa, and as for the result of our mode
rate course, we refer TO the late elections as at
least some evidence of its success. If men are
so blinded by devotion to certain politicians,
however, as to forget the rules of decency and
propriety and neglect TO abide by some one firm
principle, it matters little what their opinions
NAV be of US. If Mr.. Ben,on's friends are
about swearing fealty TO Mr.. Clay, In eternal
hostility TO Mr.. Tyler, because he is Mr.. Tyler,
we are willing they should do so but for the
sake Of consistency, do not let us hear them
preach up this course as Democracy. All we
g. =. r.
Chandler himself, opposes bank, and favors
the cause of equal rights, and all other Republi-
can doctrines, the accession should create " Joy
for the sinner" even though his conversion was
g at the eleventh hour"
We are willing to believe that Mr.. Chandler
is honest in his support of Henry Clay. AS an
advocate of high-,oned Federal measures, and
consolidated Government, he should doubtless
yield him his inhuence-but on the other hand,
as the opponent of all such exploded dogmas,
noe must be permitted to give an unqualified sup
port TO Mr.. Tyler and to all those who advocate
Jeffersonian principles, even admitting that they
had heretofore been guilty of error. 1t is never
too late for repentance-a proverb which, In all
Christian charity, we hope will be exemplifed
as soon as Mr.. Stevens whips in Grand Master
Chandler to the support of an anti-Masonc can
didate, when Clay and its corruptions are for
gotten.
AS for the journal referred to, in previous ar
licle, we think that Walpoe, and the Missouri
Legislature, to boot, will not be able TO drive the
Democracy into blindfod opposition TO the
President, and to their own chances of success
old official organ is possessed of much Of the
confidence Of its party. If this is not already
perceptible, it will soon be seen. The hand
writing is on the wall

GEN. HARRISON'S SENTIMENTS IN
RELATION TO A UNITED STATES

BANk.
The following letter from General Harrison
on the question of United States Bank, and
other matters, will be read with some interest
we have no doubt. 1t was written to the citi-
zcns of Cine matt, and appeared in the " In
qusitor" of that place in the fall of 1922. A
paper containing this letter forward d, by
General Harrison, to distinguished member
of Congress in 1910, and by him transmitted to
a friend 10 Virginia in time for, and to operate
upon, the election of Governor by the Legisla-
ture. twas used as conclusive evidence Of
General Harrison's opposition TO Bank; and
our readers, on reference 10 the debates that
took place in the Virginia House of Assembly
will find the very important consequence that
was attached to it. Thos. w. Gilmer was elect
ed Governor by ant-Bank men and advocates at
the ground that he was opposed strenuously
and on conviction to the Incorporation of a
Bans. And General Harrison thus gave, in
IS4O by this act, new endorsement to the
! principles avowed in 1922. We believe no real
friend to the memory of that distinguished in
he lived, would have sanctioned by his sigma
ture, either of the monstrous bills submitted to
| President TYLER. To think so would be equally
Insulting to his good sense, and the honesty Of
his professions. Al another time we will pur-
sue The subjcct at present, let VI invoke the
earnest attention of the country to the sent-
| ments expressed in this letter most particular
| w to all that relates to the establishment of a
Bank.
We take the lester from that ably conducted
journal the " iskonsan Enquirer:
| To The Editor Of The hquisiior'
| SIR In your last paper you recommended to the
candidates at the ensuing elect on TO publish their po-
ical creeds, that the electors may have fair OPP
| portunity OF choosing those whose sentiments best
| accord with their own. | have ever believed that
| every eleCtor has right to make this call upon
those who offer their services TO the people, and that

1.-THE ESTABLISHMENTS OF POWER"

A friend has directed our attention TO the fol-
lowing expression in Mr. Woodbury's letter,
copied day or two since in the Mad!sonan,
and accompanied with some commendatory re-
marks
"The Democracy of the country are, on the one
hand, exposed to unusual temptations from the blan
dishments of power" &c.
We confess that did not put the same
construction upon the passage that our friend
does. He inclines to the belief that it was in
tended as a thrust at the President. We sup
posed it referred to the strength Of the party;
intmating that easy triumphs might induce The
politician TO neglect principles TOR men.
AS to the Z" Establishments of power" sup
posed by some 10 be held out by the President
for the purpose of securing support, the impress
sion cannot be too quickly eradcated. He courts
neither the high nor the ow-he is perfectly in
dependent. AS to the oft-repeated assertion
that he has formed " entangling alliances" with
this or that party there is no truth IN ii. He
occupies the old Republican platform-advo-
Gates the pure Republican doctrines of '9s-
and he looks TO every honest man agreeing with
him in principle TO yield him hearty support,
(and it will be done by every man of principle,
without any of the Establishments of power
being extended on his part, as an inducement.
The President offers The Establishments" OF
masses Of the country He is not committed
to any party under the present ultra organza-
tons. AS TO the futUre-whether the Plesiden,
will or will not be a candidate-hls intention
will doubtless be know n when the proper time
arrives. When formally called upon by his ftl
low-clizens, we doubt not he will respond fully,
unhesitatngly, and satisfactorily Until this is
done, all conjecture as to his designs is but un-
certainty.
Mr.. Clay is out of the way-that is CERTAIN
Who will be substituted for him it is difficult &c
guess at present. But whoever he may be, OF
who on the other side to oppose him, their re-
spective claims, so far as the friends of the AID
ministraiion are concerned, provided Mr.. Ty
Ter is not in the field, will be estimated in refe
renee to the Republican measures so ably advo
Gated by the present Chief Magistrate.
We are not pledged to either Of the parlie:
asat present organised. Weare pledged to effect
as faI as lies in our power, restoration OF thu
pure OLD REPUBLICAN PARTY. The Democratic
party, as well as the Wing party, is numbered
with impurities and excrescences. Some oftht
ultra leaders of the Democratic party are as re
CARELESS of principles as those of the Wing par
Nv, and as hostile to the Administration. The
Globe is striving to split the Democratic party
o, rather to build up "third party" out of it
for the benefit of one or two ultra men. w,
care not on which side our enemies may b
found. We will fight them any where.
The names of the opposing parties will, ulti
mately, be REPUBLICAN aud FEDERAL. There
are Federalists in the Democratic party, as wei
as among the Wings.

The number of Daily papers in the United States
is larger than would imagine and the number of
what called periodicals is much larger than

1t there but five States in the Union
which have not daily papers, and there but four
which have not periodicals.

Constitution, they had what was called the Tiers

in Europe also the Press has become the Tiers Etat

forms of power holds very much of the substance
