worthy OF the orator and worthy OF The occasion II
an admirabe-we may say noble appeal to the citizens
of Massachusetts In dignity Of manner power Of STYLE
beauty Of eloquence, and above all, in fmness OF pur.
pose is everything il should be- Such speech as Mr.
Websiers suits the crisis. II will not be seed thrown
away upon the barren rock but il must terminate and
thrive, and bring forth good fruit among his eounymen
Such manly address, in the presence OF the people Of
Boston, in the midst OF his constituents, in the very
face OF the aboliiionsts who have abused him, and Of
the ultra Tayortes who have denounced his course,
calculated 10 give US additional confidence in The stability
OF his purposes We beg the enlightened editor OF the
/" Augusta consutionalis' not 10 abandon his hopes Of
Mr. Webster's conduct. No man who declares under
the canopy of Heaven, and in the presence OF assembled
thousands, tread step backward can be guilty Of
the folly, 10 say OF such gross inconsistency,
to sacrifice the high character which he has lately won
by a dsgraceful deserton Of his duty, The Augusta
Consa,ionast says emphatically, and eloquently too
The southern who relies northern whig stand
up just for the South and fair setemeno Of
Webster the great Daniel wh3 nteecti eantke, and
whose patriotic impulses seemed 10 blaze forth In his late
speech with proportonaa spendor and nobleness, is but
dwarf in moral conragen that true heroism which dares
unpopular thing for the public good Daniel Web
OF statesman, and that his heart is not stranger
warm GLOW Of patriotic feelings BM ,shsa the time for
few short weeks ago. Mr. Webster raised his sonorou.
loud and high ia of conciaton and compro.
mise and appealed his northern WING constituents and
the whole people Of The Nonh 20 rally . The rescue Of the
the arrogant spirit ofaboliton esson, OF northern aa
csn and Ilie disregard OF Constitutional opga tons on

tue northern wings viii not rally 10 him. and win listen
their fnaticsn they will yield hairs breadth Of
their essoil purposes and what is the RESULT Daniel
OF NORTHERN He fnches from the in favor
Of comp romise and with him finch all the northern wing
senaiors.
For one, we will not give way to these gloomy fears
these sombre aniicipations The speech in Boston
cheers and confirms in the impressions which his great
speech made upon True, he co-operaed in the prop
osition Of separating California from the territorial gov.
enments and in that respect, Mr. Clay manifested bis
superior sagacity, il not rmness Of character but we
understand, from the best authority, that Mr. Webster
deemed it the best way Of eecng the objects he had in
view and that he intended, by that vote moi to abandon
ioia OF the fine sentiments and bold enuncaons OF bis
celebrated speech Mr.. Webster has il now in his power
10 bruse with his heel the serpcnrs head. Fanaii
cism must be boldly met, to be put down. Truth cannot
fail when she is strong in the strength and courage Of
her champions.
From the New York Herald, April 90

appears to have been great The masses-ihe popular
mind and feelng-were represented by Mr. Curtis in
brief speech. and Mr. Webster replied in his usual happy
and forcible style, speaking only about fifteen minutes
Those minutes, however, were not wasted. They will
not be lost upon Massachusetts MIR. Webster adopted
the course which we presumed and were satisfied be
would He out manfully in his rebuke of the agi.
tanon against slavery '.ghosy abstraction" and has
promised on his return TO the Senate, make his

but It Will have great moral elect throughout New
England and the Union. IL is the voice of wisdom and
experience speaking TO the nations and IL anything can
do It, 1t Will serve TO aliay that ridiculous northern
difficulty.
