Mr., wEBsTER's SPEECH.

We have received through the Boston Atlas full
renort Of Mr.. WEBsTER's speech before the Massa-
chusets Wing Convention at Springfield, and we
are sure that every one who reads il will admit
that il is worthy of the great name OF the orator.
and worthy of the dgnified body to which II was
addressed 1t will be found strongly marked by
those traits of clearness, eoquence, earnesness and
power which distinguish all the popular or Senate
rial efforts of this eminent citizen, and which never
fail to carry conviction 10 every unprecedented hearer
Ii is volume of strong sense and reasoning, on
questions of the greatest moment TO the country,
and is therefore most apt TO the time. While such
will be the estimate every where placed on this
mastery speech, we must be permitted 10 add that
for ourselves personally possesses peculiar value
for we find that il fully sustains, with It's high au-
thority, all those views of Constitutional obliga-
ton, and all the conclusions regarding national
faith justice, and proprety, which we have ventur-
ed, from time to time, TO submit TO readers
touching our dispute with Mexico and the calami-
tous war which we are waging against that wretch
ed Republic.

GENERAL SCOTT.

No higher evidence could be given of the lofty
merits and great military ability OF commander
than the hope, almost amounting TO confidence, with
which all classes now look to Gen. ScoTT to extri-
cate little army from the awful embarrassments
in which the Administration has plunged il. His
genius has ever risen with the crisis and we doubt
not, whatever the result, that he will be found
greater in the hour of adversely than when our
eagles, scared on, almost without delay hindrance,
from victory to victory. This is the test of great
soldier, one which the greatest captains have not
always been able TO encounter without loss OF
