Mr.. WrBsreR.-This gentlemen, il We may
Judge from the excess Of zeal manifested by +
him for the nominees OF the Baltimore conven-
ton, has determined to regain his lost stand I
ing with his party. He delivered three
speeches at Baltimore, all made up OF the |
most fusome aduIation Of Mr.. Clay. whom |
every body knows he most cordially hates;
and at Boston, at ratification meeting, he |
assailed Gen. Jackson and his administration |
with the greatest bitterness. Andrew jack |
son. the saviour of Western America-the
pure patriot-tte enemy of corruptlon-he
whose whole life has been devoted 10 the ser
vice Of his country, and who has done more
to elevate our national character in the estima-
tion Of the world than any other man since the
days of Westinghouse attacked and assaulted
by stipendiary.of the late swindling United
States Bank pensioned leecher--a leading
anti.war and Hartford convention fedefasist:
Where is there an honest man, no matter what
| his party prejudices, whose blood does mol
boil with Indignation at the thought! The
venerable sage at the Hermitage enjoys
Mace in the affections of the American people
(which removes him far beyond the reach OF
the malice of Mr.. Webster. They have not
forgotten that while the former was perlIing
life, property, reputation, all, ln behalf OF MS
bleeding country, the latter was doing every.
thing in his power TO cripple the war even al
| ter it was declared, by voting in favor OF with
| holding the supplies necessary to carry 1t on
successfully; and they will! consequently take
about as much heed Of his rawlings against
g the man of iron nerve as they would of an
themas hurled by Benedict Arnold against the
Immortal Washington. :.
Mr.. Webster is playing desperate and
more than usually bold game. lie has his
|eyes on the Presidency in l848, knowing that
Mr.. Clay, whether successful or not now,
will be out of'the way by that time. In the
hope of being the adopted of Whiggery then,
. he now seeks to atone for the disgrace lately
incurred by him in the estimation of his party
by feigned exhibition of zeal for his great RI.
val. But who believes him to be sincere 3
i Very few if any. Mr.. Clay, he discovers, is
the chosen candidate of his party, and he
; therefore makes merit of necessity and sup
ports him, hoping thereby to accomplish his
own Interior aims. How Mr.. Clay must see
through and despise such hypocrisy!
