A ity-Jehn r. Hale rsbuhias Mr.. webster FOR
Inconslstenox

One OF the most amusing farces 10 which the present
debate upon the slavery question has given rise, is the
arraignment Of Mr. Webster. by Mr. Hale. in the Senate
for inconsistency Of conduct in relation to the subject Of
slavery Mr.. Hale accused Mr. Webster Of abandoning
his opinions expressed in is4s This Mr. Webster de-
Med and conended that he had been consistent that
point Now. when the fact is known. that Hale. sOhs's
protesting TO be democrat in New Hampshire. one
OF the most violent opposers OF the aboltonists his
late rebuke Of Mr.. Webster betrays an efrontery
which we scarcely expected to even in the
New Hampshire senator. AT an abolition meet
ing held in Dover. his place Of residence. years
ago. he was present. and made speech denouncng the
abolitionsts in the course Of which he said, has
been repeatedly and publicly alleged, and never. to our
knowledge denied by him. that the slaves beasts
and not fit to live" And jet this man presumes to
arraign Mr. Webster for inconsistency OF opinions None
but who had boxed every point Of the political
compass would exhibit such brazen-faced assurance.
But we must confess it is amusing to see such q
man Mr.. Hale accusing Mr.. Webster Of inconsist-
ency in anything. They both have been inconsistent
but Mr.. Webster has been inconsistent only in his
opinions He has deserted his pary while Mr. Hale
has been inconsistent and unprinciped in all things
pertaining to politics. He was born federalis and
lived until after the second election Of General Jack
son. While ederalst, he elected to represent his
town in the Legislature of New Hampshire. While at
tending the session Of that body, he became suddenly
converted to democracyt is said, a single highland
thus betrayed his constituents inasmuch he did
resign his trust He then got into the Office Of United
States district attorney through the favor Of the democ-
racy and finally into Congress and during the very first
Congress Of which he member, he deserted the de-
mocracy. to whose favor he owed his seat and went to
work to break that party down BY bargain and alliance
with the wings Of New Hampshire, he succeeded getting
into the Senate Of the United States and he preends
to be afend Of the administration, who reposed in his
hands the distribution Of Offices in New Hampshire, and
also free-soiler in order to play Jack both Sides
in the game of politics. But his career is over in New
Hampshire and he has no hope politically but to dispute
the presidency with Ex-Governor Seward. This is a
pretty true history Of Mr. Hales political career. as
confident he will himself admit And this gentleman
presumes rebuke Mr. Webster of inconsistency! The
only thing that surprises is, that the Massachusetts,
statesman should notice such CHARGE coming from such
source.
