dent, nftcr some appropriate remarks. introduced
b tho audience our distinguished fellow-citizen,
DANIEL WEBSTER, who had been loudly called
br by the people. Hc was received by pro-
bnged burs. Of enthusiastic cheers and accama-
tons which seemed to shake the worry walls and
nfters Of that noble edfcc.
The following sketch Of Mr.. Wcbs,er's speech
we copy from the Boston papers:
What though tho fold be lost'
All is not lost. Tho unconquerable WILL
The patriotic hope, the storm integrity, tho high
sense Of duty. attachment to liberty, our IL
dslty to tho Constitution, our love of our native
hnd will abide by us, notwithstanding the trl-
umphs Of cnomies, or the falling OFT OF friends,
cranv other adverse occurrence. Our cause IS
tho same, truth is tho same, our country is tho
nmc, and arc tho Same. (cheers.)
Wings Of Boston! if tho information this NOR
ming. respecting tho elections, had been tho samo
70 ycs,orday, had proposed to ask of your COM
mitteo to excuse me from attending this moeting
which would then have been Of congratua-
ton and unmixed Joy; and | could havo retired
to recruit myself from the fatigues of tho con-
test Of this campaign. But when clouds seem to
lower upon md darkon prospects, when we
arc assaulted by attacks of unexpected severity
! feel called upon to report myself, and to aver
my readiness, and determination to do with alac-
ri,y ond ZEAL whatever lies in my power, TO main
tain just and righteous cause.
Gentlemen, it may be rs has boon said, that tho
National Elections VICAR an unfavorable aspect
Il may be that the wings have not succeeded in O.
Letting their President. But, yet, Massachusetts
is not alone. Throc Of her Now England sisters
arc with her. Vermont, Connecticut, and Rhode
Island; also Ohio, Maryl and. New Jersoy,
and probably, kentucky. Tennessee. North
Carolina, and Louisiana. But what if she should
stand alona in her devotion TO the wing cause!-
What il she should stand prc-emincnt among tho
wing Statos. 1t would be noble Distinction
Lot her win it aud wear it! The honor we'll be-
comes her ancient brows.
Mr.. Webster said that it was too lato TO go
through with the topics that have engrossscd the
public mind for several months past. The suf-
ffages of many Of the States have already been
cast for President, and our State was about
% declare herself at tho polls. He urged tho
great importance Of full vote at the coming cleo
ton, even were nothing bu, the administration Of
Massachusetts AT issue. He spoke Of the regula-
ting influence Of tho State Government over So
cia life, and Of its happy effects, if wise and pa
rental. If the National policy is likely to be ad-
verse to what we consider the truo interests of
the country, so much the more we bound to
secure, far in us lies, the safety Of our COM
monwealth, and adds its influence and voice to
the protection and security Of our free institutions
In his opinion no political party question was
moro easy Of decision, than those of Texas and
tho Tariff, and it was deeply Notifying to him,
an American, to reflect upon the views avowed
BY 20 many of our citiZons, to find paupcr labor
recommended by any portion of our citizens at
the North. But the course taken by them with
regard to the annexation Of Texas was still more
mortifying. When the project was first proposed
oil parties rejected it, dsclaimed it. would have
roshing to do withit. And yet find, in few
short months, a whole party. even in Massachu-
ssts. wheeling deliberately around and advoca-
Jung and supporting that very project, which they
hive declared ruinous to the country and fatal to
tho Constitution.
Mr.. Webster remarked that, if the election,
had resulted uufavorably il was Dol ha ps useIe,s
Tint time. to investigate the causes Of disap-
posnen,ent 1t might not oven be proper to state
~ tho causes, then. But there was one cause
% conspicuous. 20 glaring, which stood out in
such bold relief. that it was impossible to shut
our eyes to it, or not to depIoro its consequences
Inc results IN several Of tho States cannot fail
impress upon every thinking and reasoning
