Mr.. Webster delivered himself in the
Senate on the 9th and 7th, of one of the
bitterest phiIllppics we ever read. His
subject Of defence was the Washington
treaty of 1912, which he negotiated with
Lord Ashburlon. The defence is not
distinguished by the eloqnence and ability
of the speaker, but it contains much bitter
and rancourous invectiye. The godlike
got INTO towering passion, and denounced
the Hon. G. J. IngersoII, of the house, in
unmeasured terms. The Washington u.
MON thus speaks of this effort of the Hon.
Senator from Marshfeld
"Ee was not content with defending
himself; but he carried the war into Alri-
ca. 1t was the severest, the bitterest, the
most scathing attack we have ever heard
in the Senate. But ii did not exactly suit
the dignity of that distinguished body
The invective was violent and impassIon-
ed; bat it wanted the SP5end5da 6'!is OF
the classic poet. 1t was rather the hack
ing of the handsaw than the piercing Incl
sion of the polished Damascus. The ora
tor condescendel freely to employ such
epithet5 as - thing" creature . " the ca
ricature of mind" Sc, which would much
better grace any other lips, and any other
place than the lips Of Senator Of the Uni
ted States.
We were sorry indeed to porcicve that
there was no dignity in the passion Of the
| honorable Senator, and that his vehement
| indignation was not relieved with a single
burst Of maguanimily. II appeared as if
the whole urn of Xantippe were emptied
at once on the floor of the Senate cham

TO have been entirely forgotten by the ora,
tor, SIN the very torrent, tempest, and
whirlwind of (hisl passion" he never ac-
quirad and begat particle Of temperance
that might give it smo3thness. The at
tack was severe, and striking, and caustic
enough; but upon the who'e, it was not
worthy of Mr.. Webster's acknowledged
abilities. Place it alongside OF Lord Chat
hams Indignant and dgniiied reply to
Walpole, and every reader Of taste must be
struck at once with the contrast"
