MIR WEBSTER's GREAT SPEECH IN BAL
TIMoRE- COMMENCEMENT OF NEW
POLITICAL REVOLUTION.
We give to-day full and interesting report
Of the great speech of Mo. Webster, delivered
in Baltimore at public dinner given him on
Thursday evening. A meagre outline OF TINS
very important discourse appeared in one OF The
penny papers in Philadelphia and in an extra
Tribune yesterday. We give The entire speech
duced by Mr.. Webster. In this instance, we
are confident that our readers will perceive that
we have exhibited our usual superiority OF ar
engagements and talent, in presenting The world
with ample and accurate reports OF all matters OF
public interest. We give in this report mass
of information of the greatest possible interest
and value TO the commercial community, ana
indeed 10 all who desire TO understand properly
the relations of this country with the trading ma
lions, and which could not possibly be obtained
from any other quarter.
The Committee who made the arrangements
for the dinner aware OF the great importance Oh
this speech, and anxious to have an accurate
version of il placed before the world, had form
ed The design of excluding reporters, and solicit
ing Mr. Webster himself TO furnish report OF
IT, As soon, however, as it was ascertained
that we had sent our reporter there, MIR. Web
ster expressed his perfect confidence IN the
ability Of our representative, and the Commit
tee reversed their previous decision, OF which
the gentlemanly private Secretary OF Mr.. web
ster Informed our reporter in highly compli-
mentary manner. We trust that the manner IN
which our reporter has discharged his duty, will
show that the confidence reposed in our arrange
ments was not altogether misplaced
This speech is PROFESSIONALLY TIE commence
ment of new era in the political and CONNER
cial history Of this country. Beyond doubt,
il is one of the most ginal, philosophical, com
prehensive, and patriotic efforts that ever came
from The great intellect of Webster. ltjustifes,
in every point, the views which we have here
tofore given of his position amid the confusion
of party, and contests among great interests.
Mr.. Webster has commenced new move
menl on The most comprehensive principles
a movement that throws into antiquity all the old
contests of tariffs, banks, and currency ques
tons. With mighty grasp OF mind he groups
into one picture the greati interests of nations
into one harmonious whole. This speech will
place Mr.. Webster at the head Of one of the
mighliest movements that ever took place in tiIis
country and have tendency TO re-organize all
the political elements throughout the nation
yea, even throughout the civilized world.
We know very well that Mr.. Webster has
not broken ground in this great movement ia ia
vor of comprehensive commercial treaties, with
ut knowing The sentiments of the French and
English Governments. Intelligence has been
received, informally, Of disposition in bolh
Of those nations to enter upon such negotiations
with the United States. Mr.. Webster, il is true,
is not member Of the United States Govern
ment at this time, but in the event of a commits
sion being sent over here by England in the
course of the summer it is almost CERTAIN that
Daniel Webster and John G. Calhoun, would be
appointed by President Tyler to meet them on
such great work.
This new movement is essentially measure
of paci6cation over the nations-a general uuli.
ty throughout the commercial world. The
ground is now broken, and the whole country
will be excited in the discussion.
