Mr.. Webster has passed through
The ordeal and comes out bright. The

quire into the truth of the charges pre-
ferred against him by Ingersoll and
others. The committee was composed
Of three Democrats and taoo Wings,
four Of whom signed the report acqult-
ting Mr.. Webster of every charge.
How must that poor old wretch, Inger-

0T When the war with Mexico was'
first declared, the Government organ
and many of the little organs through
out the country endeavored to create
the impression that the Wings were
traitors to the country and would not
sustain the war. We are glad TO OBJ
serve that large majority Of these
sheets have changed their tone on this
subject, and that there are now but
few Locoloco papers shat have the
hardlhood 10 assert, in The face OF facts
that are staring at them from every
section of The country, that the Wings
are unwilling 10 lend their energies to-
wards carrying their country triumph
antly through the hostllities with Mex
leo. The very few papers that continue
to abuse and misrepresent the Wings,
belong 10 the very flthlest of their class,
and are conducted by wretches who
would commit any amount Of business,
meanness, and falsehood, if they thought
they could inlure their political oppo-
nents by SO doing. These wrelches
are SO addicted to lying, that, if a truth
should by chance gel into their hearts

"kEEP THAT TESTAMoNY IN YOUR

To-day is the anniversary Of Amcri-
can Independence ever dear TO the
hearts Of lreemen, on account Of the
PRONUNCIATION by band Of determined
patriots of the most celebrated declara-
ton Of human rights Of modern times.
Long may the Republic stand TO hail
the annual advent Of this day with Ju-
bilant demonstrations. Long may II
stand as the model Of good government
destined 10 eclipse all others in the con-
test for securing 10 mankind the grea,
est share Of happiness, as far as human
government can do it. Long may the
light Of its institutions blaze like lamp
hung in the pathway of nations, guild
ing by its undimming and constant
beam, the darkness of that way, until
lis splendor Shall charm the benigh,ed
Of every land that they may share in
the banquit of freedom. May the arm
that rises against II be palsied. May the
tongue that would SANDER it, forever
cIeaye to the roof Of that williams mouth
who would utter it. May the hearts
that would betray it never beat to a
pleasant emotion, or know a moment OF
bliss. God forgive the men who Plung-
ed our beloved country in the horrd
blaze Of war! For that is the only
alloy to the perfect bliss of to-day.
While we would rejoice to-day, We can
not deliver our minds from the saddest
reflections. Perhaps whilst we would
abandon ourselves 20 gayety, the refec-
ton would obtrude itself upon our minds
that our brethren on the Rio Grande
are fighting and dying.
