The War. Of Isls, and Of Is4s.

MIR. Webster was against his country in the oil
| 1912, as he is in the Mexican On this last
subject he has involved himself in sophisres of the
grossest description He realizes his own figure of
strong man struggling in He abors TO oppose
the administration at the late dinner in Philadelphia He
had been preparing himself for long period for the
sion and the orator laid himself TO his utmost capa-
city The country will pass verdict this effort,
il has former efforts of this distinguished man. But
ii will be difficult TO find vgor of thought or
Mexican than in those which Mr. Webster exhibited
against Mr. Madison in the last British In fact, he
has shown less vigor and less ability,
In enumeratng his grounds of hostility to the admins
tration he dwels longest and strongest the Mexican
war; and he stops tell the hearers why he opposed the
annexation OF Texas, which was fourthly because IL
tcas certain, and SO urged Congress again and
again. that the annexation Of IeIds tpold lead us 10
toar nth Me1ieo"
This then, is another "fxed facr'-a historical fact
stated and vouched for by the Massachusetts senator
The annexation of Texas opposed because sit would
lead to a with Mexico"
| If, then, the annexation of Texas led necessarily
the war; how does the orator reconcile il TO the other
position which he assduousy labors to establish and
concerning which he has acclaimed much and so idly,
viz that the President is responsible for the existing
Congress, under preceding administration had annexed
Texas, and that act Mr. Webster opposed, because il
would lead to a with Mexico" The Massachusetts,
must carry his budget Of grief of this
war to the door OF the twentyeghth Congress- which,
according to his declaration did the act which led to it,
He told his hearers at Philadelphia OF saying OF Chief
Justice Marshall hat the Legislature might alter the
law, but could not alter the fact" His assertion may
be weighed against his fact and will find its true bal
ance II annexation led to the war; Mr. Webster de-
cares he wreak his vengeance, if he can those
who did il.
But the whole speech berays the partisan and sinks
the statesman In order to justify himself for pursuing
course OF hostility against the administration, he gropes
like drowning for anything to sustain himself and
catches with much avidty at straws as at any more
solid substance.
Some slight Acknowledgements are made in regard to
Old Hickory that none could have anticipated from that
source few years ago 1t is possible that the time may
come when the Massachusetts, senator will do more JUS
tice to Young Hickory, and admit that he, too, has
wished for the happiness of his country"

The Drama,

1.-THE love OF dramatic representations innate feel
ing in human nature. 1t was implanted in very
lures to take pleasure in such representations at
times, and proper OCCASIONS and in all the theat
rca has kept pace with the Improvement of mankind
and with the progress OF letters and the fine arts"
The above is the language OF wise, great, and a
good man, Sir Walter Scott and | would ask, What
more rational amusement, combining, at the time,
instruction with delight than pure dramatic representa-
tom Believing there many Of our citzens--lovers
of the drama-who would gladly avail themselves of the
opportunity of taking their families with them to witness
dramatic representation, Invested of all those associa-
tons, purified of all those which unfortu-
natey have too often been allowed to dsgure the fair
proportions and cast reproach upon the character of the
enacted drama, by being allowed place in the temples
devoted TO dramatic performances, would say to those
not of the fact that such opportunity is af
foded them at the neat little dramatic saloon at Odeon
Hall" The hall is neatly and admirably fitted up, the
scenery well executed and in good taste, the plays judi
ciousy selected, and the acting Of high order Of excel
ence Perfect good order and decorum the prevail
ing characteristics Good management, and desire and
effort to merit the appreciation of he udicious,"
apparent in all the arrangements Of the establishment
trust our citizens will avail themselves Of the opportunity
presented and show that the efforts Of the really deserv
ing manager and his talented company are appreciated as
they deserve. BENEDICT.

Al the opening of the present session OF Congress, we
present to the readers OF the "Union sheet in
urey new and becoming dress The large and rapid
increase OF our subscription list within the last few
months has led us to incur this expense as matter OF
Justice TO our subscribers, In the same view have
commenced our new and enlarged series OF the "WEEK-
LY UNION" a specimen number Of which has already
been published, and which, in its regular issue, will
commence ON Saturday next The new type which
we have selected will be found to be remarkably clear
and eble and it will present to our readers the full
and accurate reports which propose to give Of the
proceedings of both houses of Congress in form in
which they may be easily and agreeaby read The same
type WILL OF course be used in our Congressional Regis
ter.
We took occasion, some time ago, TO allude to the
great expense incurred in the system OF complete congress
siona reporting which we introduced at the commence
ment of the last session In addition to this, endea
yored at large outlay and to the exclusion of great
variety OF interesting miscellaneous NATTER to give al
length and in separate FORM the speeches OF the
bers of both houses after they had been written and
furnished TO us by their authors Our disposition TO obge
our friends in this respect remains entirely unchanged but
our present arrangements will not enable us to carry
il into effect We shall do all possible justice both to the
speakers in Congress and to readers, in regular
reports of the Congressional Proceedings; but in the ex
stng state Of arrangements cannot undertake to
sustain the additional very heavy burden OF publishing
in second and elaborate form those speeches, the
substance OF which we have already reported.
That portion OF columns which has heretofore beer
thus occupied, will be, in part at least hereafter filled
with contents Of a miscellaneous character, which
the great OF subscribers will find to be at once
more novel and more attractive

We rejoice that Mr. Webster has spoken at Philadel-
pha Ii is an elaborate, but an abortlve effort The
Paixhan gun recols upon himself. He comes forward
with this elaborate manifesto to give the to his
sociates in Congress- but fails in its effect, because
abounds with sophstries and
defects in argument, well as in fact But 1t dis
plays perverse and desperate sprit-a determination to
put down the administration at every hazardwhch will
only and unite friends in and out of the Senate
The zeal the federasts show the zeal will
friends display. Enthusiasm on their part will only
double the enthusiasm ours-wh this difference, that
we, cannot descend to the arts which disgrace Mr. Web
ster's speech Dearly will he and his friends rue it.
What will the country say to the dsingenuous orator,
who brings forward General Jacksons first mes
sages, concerning the tariff, and entirely suppresses
the last and also his valedictory address, in which
he comes to the revenue standard, and denies any
authority to Congress, under the constitution. "to
take money from the people, unless it is required
to execute some one of the specific powers intrust-
ed to'he government" Protection TO manufactures is
clearly not one OF them, as Mr. Webster himself proved
in 1920 Such papabe suppression is sufficient to call
up blush in the cheek OF every ingenious man. We
should like to see Mr.. Webster make such speech in
the Senate chamber he has done in Philadelphia in
the presence of the able champions Of the republican
party His moral force will shrink from that experiment
There is all the difference in the world between man
who fires his pistol at select mark and one who fires it
at another person, knowing that that other has pistol
in his hand to return the compliment.
