JUICE PHEIPs's SPEEcH.-We give the
speech of Judge PHELPS on the Vermont
Resolutions, in full this week, to the cx~
clusiun of other matter. that Cur readers
may see the whole at once, We know
not how our columns could be better filled
This speech receives the highest praise
from all quarters. 1t gives us pleasure to
add TO other encomiums, the following
from distinguished lady who was pres
emf on The occasion, (Mrs. EMMA VII
LARp.) written to friend in this village:
alt was great speech. The occasion,
and the deep tone of public opinion ex-
listing on the subject which it embraced,
made it difficult to the last degree to say
any thing, where offence would not be ia
ken.-What would please the North it
might be expected would irrtatc the South.
Now, heard the speech, and since its
delivery have heard comments upon it
from all sides. All praise it. All praise
MIR. Phelps for the perfectly calm, self
possessed, and candid tone with which he
spoke. 1t occurred to me while he was
speaking, that Daniel Webster could moi
have done what Mr.. Phelps did in thai
speech what other things he might have
done it is not for me to say but the keen
humorous sarcasm which ran on in com
partnership with his clear and logical rca
soning, and which was excellent; by tend
ing to change to feeling Of the ludicrou
the tone of bitter irritation,-of danger
Gus excitement-that is not in Mr. Web
ster's vein, but it is in MIR. Phelps. !
has done good, and the same spirit per
sisted in may save civil war, which
would be nothing short of the ruin of tn
country. How positively ripe for thi
much of the South is, the North are no
aware"
