| said in the outset, that this was good
day for Boston. 1t is so, finally, because the
people are becoming wiser than their teach
ers. i tell you that when Daniel Webster is
compelled TO melt up the stereotype plates of
his first edition, and TO give us edition after
edition of his speech, ioiM additions and i'm
propements,' and when Prof Stuart, Andover
Theological Seminary, Cambridge College,
and Boston aristocracy, are compelled TO
come TO the rescue of il and its author, il is
indeed wonderful sign of the times. Do
you believe that small matter would avail
to call forth these four or half dozen copies
of this speech? Do you believe that small
matter would have been sufficient 10 rouse
Prof Stuart from n lethargy of almost natur-
al as well as a long and lingering spiritual
death, TO defend the 'godlike' in such di-
lemma? DO you believe there have been
many occasions, where Cambridge College
would have forgotten its dignity and what
belonged to its propriety, so that the Prcsi-
dent should have volunteered his service
and that State street, too, should move TO
bolster up speech, the first edition OF which
would have done honor TO any devil what
ever that took part in a Congress of devils
damnedP Cheers and groans.) 1t is in
deed a sign of the times when Andover and
Cambridge and State street, and the Boston
pulpit are all combined TO hold up such
man, and such cause.
Il. Al. Al
the friends of freedom have cause TO rejoice.
Who now makes u speech in Congress, what
politician makes speech out of Congress,
that does not commence with anthems in
! gloriication of the American Constitution
and Union, and close with n doxology in
long metre TO the same? 1t seems 10 me
that that demonstration is enough TO fill the
hearts of the friends of freedom. Much
stamping, noise and confusion. 'Order or

sition we encounter. A few days ago, in
| New York, the mob was sufficient TO break
up the meetings altogether. The .NeW York
Herald had but to cry Havoc and the Mac
York Globe but TO let slip the dogs of war,
and Anti-Slaycry meetings We're broken up.
But then you know Daniel Webster had
given us but two or three editions of his
speech, and the people were not aware into
how deep an amount of iniomy he had plung-
| ed. And so the mob bad power. But nov
we have had more editions of that speech ;
State street and Professor Stuart have come
TO the rescue, and tho humanity and sense of
justice of the people is aroused, and Boston
has exhibited spectacle more sublime
than she has presented since the days OF
1916. And the power of the mob? Why,
the God who shut the lions mouths when
the friends of justice and of liberty were to
be sacrificed, seems TO have appeared for the
same glorious deliverance to-day, and truth,
and humanity and justice triumph. The day
is dawning, and will soon be shining in me-
ridan splendor, when Andover will be gath
cred with Daniel Webster TO grave of inia-
my, and their history for the last twenty
years will he written with mourning aud
sorrow and read with an nstonishment over
whclming. The day will soon burst upon
our land, when liberty will be extended to
the millions of our saves-and from this
land us solar, central focus, its light and
blessing shall radiate, until all the families
and nations of the earth shall be baptized in
its divine and sanctiiying influence. Pro-
longed applause. Three cheers for Daniel
Webster
