WEBsrER's ELooUENcF.- The SIX. tchy
writer of the New York letters of the Ma

Bunker Hill spt ech:
'Ihe fusion which poured from the
great Daniel cools into the usual cast IRON

but II is astonishing TO me what a control
Of himself there seems visible all through

from bis readers as we'll as hi. hearers in
possessing and not being possessed by tie

controlling, how self-possessej- bow as

does this splendid oratory read! Web

The man sitting cool in his study, aud
reading speech of Websier's which has
carried away thousands with enthusiasm,
has no allowance TO make for the heat Of
delivery, no abatement of oratoricai n.y.

GENTLEMEN have duly received
your letter, as Committee of the Wing
portion of the Legislature OF North Caro-
lima, reminding me Of my engagement TO
visit that State, aud expressing the ex-
pectaton that will fulfil it. My obliga.
tons of gratitude to North Carolina are
too strong to have allowed me to forget
it. Ihave, on the contrary, constantly
cherished the wish to see il, and regretted
that it has not been hitherto in my power
to enjoy that qualification.
Your State, gentlemen, has other and
higher titles to my friendly end respect

you, of its having been the first TO de.
