Mr.. Webster, and admire il for the Justice
of the sentiments it breathes as well as ior
its lofty and thrilling eloquence, but he must
not blame me IL apply it TO other clrcufi'-

under his notice AT the time. lie must not
blame me, il, standing in Faneuil Hall i say,
in his mutchlcss words;
see that the South demands of Massa-
chusetts that the noble Crafts and his equally
noble companion should be given up, and
see that this demand is in derision OF the
established law of nations. Gentlemen,
there is something OH earth greater than ar
bitrary or despotic power. The lightning
has its power aud the whirwind has It's
power; but there is something among men
more capable of shaking despotic power
than lightning, whirlwind or earthquake
that is the threatened indignation of the
whole civilized world"
Thanks to Massachusetts this indignation
has not been invoked-on the contrary, the
conduct of Massachusetts, has been such as
will light up with radiance the face of eve
ry man in every country who is the friend oil
humanity, and the consistent lover of inn
partial freedom. What need l say more

say we are not wanting either in individual
or national hospitality. Some of those who
thus honor us, come on missions of philan-
tlIropy and reform. They come to turn us
from our evil ways, aud to expose in the
clearer light with which you are blessed,
our national sins and deiormities. They
come 70 rebuke the spirit of war, they. come
70 speak temperance, they come 10 point our
distressed and struggling population 10 this
land OF promise, where no tithe-collector
and rackrenting landlords spoil the husband
man of the fruits of his industry. ! think i
mdy take upon me to say they have not been
ill-receved. AT least may say this--that
those with whom am identified, have ever
given such good men warm welcome and
their best wishes for their success.
Well, after Is years absence, revisit these
shores. come in the spirit of kindness and
brolherly affection. | come to see those
who cherished me when l was formerly
here, who were not ashamed to own them
selves my friends when there was state of
feeling far different from that which now ex-
lists. II have any mission it is one of my
own desiring, for consulted only my own
aud objects in coming. But if
there he those who will have il that come
here with some special object, then let me
say that il is this if il is any. To tell the
citizens of these States that there are mil
lions on the other side of the Atlantic, who
glory in the success which has crowned the
efforts of the People of this country to build
up this Institution, and who look to Ameri- |
ca to send out through all lands the gospel of
political liberty. To tell them, too, that
there is one sad drawback upon their iniiu-
ence in Europe, and that il is Slavery
That the enemies OF freedom point TO that
fact with eXultation-that they desire its con-
tinuance aud its sprcad-that they would he
glad to see it re-instated in Massachusetts,
aud made eternal, that they might forever
point TO il as proof Of the RIGHTEOUSNESS of
those who set up to govern themselves aud
abuse their own liberty by enslaving others.
If have a mission it is this, and II | have
message, this is my message.
Citizens of America, the Ark of Liberty is
with you, and the nations of the earth are
flying to it. You are great, glorious, and
free-but your slavery furnishes your repu-
tation, and fills the quiver of the enemies of
freedom. Make haste, then to purge your
nation from the stain. Continue the good
work that has begun among you. Consider
no foreigner friend of America who yind-
Gates your Slavery; consider no man your
enemy who desires its overthrow. Peace
fully but firmly proclaim the great truths
~. Nor halt in your career of mercy until |
from the Atlantic TO the Pacifc--and from the |
isthmus of Panama TO the most northern |
limits of your territory, your soil should be
sacred to freedom and humanity.

the affairs in which the direct trade principle
will be most patriotically enforced by our
girls Charleston Eue. .NswS.
These glorious maidens are like to be the
death of us. BY all that is merciful, we trust
they won't lash their cradles to their backs and
march up to SO 80 with the " coffin" brigade.
If come, however, they must, perchance tho
coflins will be filled, but the cradles-on the
