is what could never be said of the wings while they

Mr. Webster a free soil man! This is a modest
claim for the man who guaranteed southern iHs'itH-
tons under an October SUM- for " the school mas
ter who sets the south no lessons, nd for tie Sec
rotary OF State under John Tyler who, on the Slh
Of July, 1912, in a letter addressed through Waddy
Thompson to senior lie Bocauegra whl'e washed the
whole Of the Texas inquity up 10 that date, and
told Mexico she had nothing to complain OF, but
on the other hand ought 10 be Thankful 10 us Tor
our exemplary lorbearance and HcWr1Py!
Nr Webster IS a great lawyer, and responsible
for one of the tallest iuttllCcts of this age; but
good sized mouse would have resisted the enroach-
nents OF the slave power much as he has done.
His resistance has been a sham his aid. real. lie
has been the hired tool of the slave power, and lis
most important tool. That single letter 10 Bocan
ezra did more to mistty aad blind the country, and
reconcile it to the Texan usurpaton, than all the d.
pomacy of Calhoun aud Upshur II was a most
able cunning, and mischievous lie. in which the
truth was suppressed and tie ialsehood set up in It's
place with such soemnlty and seeming honesty
that 4 great part OF the world was deceived by It
1t is very absunI for amy OF the statesmen who
have held stations in the Federal government to
boast of their resistance to the enroachments of the
slave power. Not one of them, Van Barren inclu-
ded has done half so much against the slave power
as he has done for it. they are all IN one common
condemnation, and if they had their deserts accor-
ding 10 the high strung Calvlnlstc notions OF jus
tice and righteous reIrjbution. they would now he
picking cotton on General Taylor's plantation, in
stead OF discussing whether or not they shall vote
for MIN.
Bat Dad as they have been, the north may be ex-
cused Tor trusting them, without asking them to
swivel aud confess provided they will, like men,
step out OF the slayCNcratc harness, and promise To
do sog;t.Aiag in favor OF lyee soil without at the
same time doing Is much or more against il.
Mr. Webster has himself been a slave SO long,
that he thinks the slavery O, the North IS TO be
eternal, and that the time will never come when
that sagaeioJs, wise, iar-seeing doctrine Ofayail
ability Will not be in favor OF a sla, ehoder.-
Slaves always oyerrate the power Of their masters.

Platform says that Gen. Taylor was nominated by
the influence Of the Slave Power this 10 not be-
ieye"
| am perfectly astouished that Mr.. w. could make
and avow his disbelief OF the above assertion for Il
appears to me that no man of even ordinary under
standing could for moment doubt IT. Tor is il not
perfectly clear THAI the sole reason Of Gen TaylorS
nomination WAS liNed belief Of large p1rtion of
the Northern wings that he wou!d command the
Southern aud siayCholJug votes, and that no non.
