Wsbstsr us Ingersoii--1ns true State Of the Case.
This has been a tremendous week IN Congress
The episode in the Senate came in upon the quiet
monotony OF the Oregon debate, like tornado that
has long been brewing in the horizon, but which
has suddenly burst upon in the middle OF the day.
The old black named lion OF Massachusetts, who
has been, for some years past, the theme OF abuse
and detracron, by every pettiiogging demagogue in
the country-of the cellar-door democracy-that
class who regard it aristocratic to wear a clean
shirt, and evidence OF federalism to be found
in contact with soap and water-old Black Dan we
say, has been walked up, and has shaken himself ;
and has moved up the hill with the gates of GAIA
upon his shoulders.
No report OF his late speech can give you even
shadowy idea of the second day of /" the godke"
In the Senate. He stood like an isolated, stern,
rugged cliff, an open plain, with darkened clouds
around lis summit, and thunder muttering In them,
and lightning flashing through them and storm
In short, he oomed out as dark as thunder cloud,
and the boldestfet something OF terror in his pre-
sence. The greatest, at least the most conspicu-
GUS and unacceptable point IN his second day, was
that Hon Charles Jared lngerso is not man OF
truth. Never was mortal man more uneQuiyocallvex-
pcit in denouncing the lie without using the word.
than Webster. He has raised direct question Of
veracity and there is escape from it,
The fact Is, Webster has been prosecuted man

And they commenced again at the present session,

sauit upon that common scape-goat of political
nacks, that resort OF patriotic indignation OF the
updheads-Daniel Webster. His shoulders were
broad, his forbearance had given tacit assurance
that ne would not notice II and Charles Jared would
reap the immortality OF having disclosed to the de
mocracy the latest, and deepest, and basest of
Daniels derellctions Alas tor poor Charley He
counted without his host He was caught mapping
that time; and the only regret is, that Mr. Dckin-
son hadfo suffer with him. But he stood Charey's
endorser, and ne was bound TO foot the bill. Itwas
like drawing his eye-teeth, to be sure but he had
to do it.
Mr. Ingersol's manner in the House Yesterday
was rather peculiar. His face was positively lvid
with mingled erocity and fear: for we know that the
man was in fear. He stood beforethe House under
the most scathing and whitening denunciations of
fasehood. He attempted not their refufation /; be-
cause ne could not, we are apprehensive-he could
not reute those blasting disclaimers of Webster.

And what else? After having denounced the i'm

kitchen, at the feet OF Tyler We know something
upon this point but we also know that John Tyler
will never turn traitor to Webster to serve the pur-
poses OF Old Veto's own political deceiver
We shall have something more upon the subject
presently. We may have no particular affection for
a grizzly bear, but when we see a whole pack of
staryeling wolves around him, we go for the bear
wen fight for him, rather than look on in silence at
such foul play Go it, Webster! Hit 'em again. You
have shown fight at last, and we like your style of
"putting in !" exceedingly.
