From the Ohio State Journal,
Hr. Webster,s Speech.

Mr.. Webster's Speech.
The great speech OF the Hoo. Daniel
Webster at Andover, Massachusetts, is
400 long for publication in the Journal
We therefore content ourselves with
giving a condemnation Of it as made by
the Philadelphia United States Gazette.
That paper says--A speech from Daniel
Webster on any subject, any time, will
be read with interest. The great de-
fender OF the Constitution the author
OF the speech 10 reply to Mr. Haynes.
and the negoIiator Of The Treaty OF
Washington, creates an interest when
he spesks, and rewards an interest when
he has spoken. II he exercise his giant
intellect. gives rein 10 his Imagination
and scope 10 his forensic powers, we all
know what can be done. The imperIsh.
able fome OF the man rests on the results
of such things. Aud even when ne
glscling fancy, when curblng his intel
lec,, and cooling his energies, he stands
before the people, and regulates the
deeds and wcrds OF other Imes, still he
iS great, stii he will be spplauded.-
The speech ct Andover has, we presume
disappointed those who were anxious to
read it. We have not been able TO ga
thor the opinions Of others, buI we con
Tess that we are disappointed in the
address as speech from Daniel Web
sler.
Wehesrily rejoice toknow that Dan
ieI WebSler feels yet the importance Of
protecting the industry Of this country,
and that he finds support in the opinions
OF men Of other times, and in the pro
ceedngs of i795 and 1888 The prin-
UipIe is immutabIe The amount may
change, but the protection must always
exist.
We rejoice to know that Mr. Webster
is 10 favor OF the distribution Of the pro-
ceeds Of the public lands. That is dis
tinctive principle Of The Wings.
We are glad to know that Mr.. Webster
avows the eonslitulionalily eI Bank,
and the necessity Of snme Such means cl
regulating the currency. and prevent
ing the recurrence ol such disasters as
those from which the people Of the ma
Iion are now but slowly recovering
We are glad 10 learn, as we do from
the speech, that Mr.. Webs'er no longer
considers a National Bank 'an obsolete
idea He says, and says truly, that in
questions Of policy he may change, and
he has changed OPinions-bui principles
ara the came.
Mr.. Websteris. then, Wing also 10
reference 10 the currency.
Mr.. Webster disaVowS any intention
OF casting censure upon his colleagues
in General Hurrison's Cabinet, who ro
tired from John Tyler's Administration
That 10 well.
Mr.. Webster complains that no is as
sailed for bis course. We regret that
uny one should assail him, but he must
moi be astonished that his conduct iS
criticised; and if, for time, he chooses
that his course shall be so marked with
mystery, as to render his motives doubt
Gul, he cannot juSIly complain that those
motives are questioned. He will find
Tho Wings as ready to do him justice, as
he 10 10 dsavow hostility 10 their prin-
CipleS and their men.
Mr.. Webster declares that he has no,
canvasSed for any nomination. He
thinks, ss oil great men think, that the
offices Of President and Vice President
should be The Tree gin Of the people. 81
tbinks Henry Cay--as thinks the grea
and the good Of all times
II we have 10 regret in the speech o
Mr.. Webster, an absence Of some Of lhC
fire that warns the party to action, ant
pyeS impetus even at the exlremilies o
the nation, we have certainly 10 rejoic,
tha, he has brought from the trNOsur!
OF the mind things old to sustain his re
avoWal OF Wing principles, and 10 prov
that those principles are identified will
the establishment and progress of on
nalionOI indie opendence, and are inwoveI
~ the tissue Of our national character.
Hereafter, then, Mr. WebsIer iS 10 b
idontifed with tho principles Of III
Whig party Of the nation. NothlO
