Senator CoRwIN will 90 down to posterty side by
side with the eloquen, declarations Of the most re-
nowned statesmen of England. AS further evidence OF
public sentiment, quote from the Salem Gazette,
which says of Mr. CoIwin
ale has embodied the sentiments of vast majority
of the American people, and has anticipated the verdict
of poserlty. We had hoped that some Senator from
Massachusetts at least from New England, might
have the honor OF taking the lead in the uteratce of
these important truths in the Senate which Mr. Hudson
Mr. Ashmun, and Mr. King have done themselves so
much honor by promu gazing in the House."
Such views are not confined to this part of the
Try, but meet with response in places where the
spirit has been supposed TO be in the ascendancy The
Pittsburgh PENN Gazette says:
1--WE are confident that in publishing the speech we
meet the wishes OF our readers, whose views have
reason TO believe, well own, coincide generally
with those SO boldly expressed by the eloquent Senator
They are views which will be responded 10 by the good
and wise OF this age, aud will give the worthy Senator

This is true patrotism-the patriotism of humanity
and true safety for nation. Lord Chatham said, IN
language sanctioned by reason and justice
"In just and necessary war, to maintain the rights
and honor Of my country would strip the shirt from
my back 10 support it. But in snch uar as this nm
