Mr.. Wsbsters speech commands large share o.
notice from The Press at the North The following
Is from The Boston Traveller; it is speaking Of the
| teIegraphc account:
lis difficult to oblaia from tthe exact Bearing,
\ Of ~. Wsbsier's speech, II represents him As
having sad some things which we arc not prepared
I 10 believe he did say, at least without material
qualifications. Mr.. Calhoun general tecommenda-
ton Of Mr.. Websler's speech and particularly hs
remark that it was calculated to save the Union,
is wholly inexphcable. But the report is not such
as TO justify any comments
The Boston Transcript says:
1t cannot be denied that the speech Of Mr..
Webster has produced much surprise, and no little
dissatisfaction among his friends here Even the
Atlas admits much as this.
The speech, however, is commended in more
cases by the prominent press than Otherwise Oft
| The N. Y. Courier says:
eve are gratifed at the emphatic manner in
which he has stated and enforced our constitutional
duty in relation to fugitive slaves and we trust thai
with his powerful aid, such bill will be passed al
this session OF Congress, viii compel the people
Of every State to fulfil in this respect their consd
tutional obligations
The journal of Commerce, independently is III
raptures with the speech, and says:
ne WnOe country mas cause TO tnank A1f
Webster for his fathfuness and courage in making
kthese declarations and others like them, knowing
as he must do, that from considerable fraction o
his constituents he will for doing, be branded a;
an enemy both to God and man.
On Saturday, the 9th, the Tribune has long ar
ticle on Webster and slavery. The speech is thu,
characterized:
We do not criticise the manner of Mr. Web
ster,s speech do not find fault with its details
all that is OF minor consequence. Ii is its substance
that we pronounce unequal 10 the occasion and I'M
worthy Of the author.
4 The declaration Of Mr.. Webster, that Northern
States are morally bound to aid in the recapture
fugitive slaves, is attacked though the existence
such demand on the face Of the Consultation, i.
acknowledged. The law is, however, maintained
to be in advance rather in contradiction Of public
sentiment, and therefore, impossible to be executed
The Sun, tpeutal,) thus speaks Of Mr.. Webster's
speech
|. y He has placed his colossal shoulder to the
wheel OF the Union. His stand is antipode to that
of Mr.. Calhoun, and is stronger, nasmuch il is
based upon the intelligent conviction of four-6fths
81 the American people, as welias upon immutabie
principles.
The Philadelphia Pennsylvania, (democratic,l
says Of Mr. Webster's speech:
We have read il with profound pleasure. His
speech in the present crisis may be Justly regarded
as emnently bold and 70 the point. He tramples
the Proviso, or, as he calls it, the Wilmot under
foot with every expression of scorn and contempt,
He even defes the instructions Of Federal Massa-
ehusetts and offers the open hand of friendship to
the South. We honor him for his intrepidity, and
hope the result win be, as have no doubt it will
be- favorable to the Constitution and the u MON y
