SPEECH OF MR.. WEBSTER ON THE sLA.
VERY QUESTION.

Our readers will find in our columns this
week MIR. Webster's great speech on the
slavery question. On this all important
and all absorbing question, Mr.. Webster's
views were looked upon with the deepest
interest and consequently every nook and
corner of the floor, and the galleries of the
Senate chamber were crowded to sufocation.
1t might well be said, even now, s'that
second Daniel has come to Judgment" for
it cannot be denied that the judgment of no
man living is received in the United States
Senate or elsewhere with more profound
respect and Difference, than that of Daniel
Webster. The impassoned and fervid elo-
quence of Clay, may be more captivating,
and the chaste and imaginative style of
others may be more pleasing to the ear,
and the learning and erudition of others
more varied and extensive, but in profundi-
ty of thought and clearness of judgment, in
complicated and difficult questions, the in
tellectual supremacy OF Webster knows no
rival. Mr.. Webster is not without his
faults, and as politician is deficient in tact
and management. Tn his delivery he is
plain and unostentatious, making little or
no effort to catch the popular applause by
ornateness of style or fgurative language,
and yet in his speeches may be found some
of the finest passages in the English lam
guage.
The course of Mr.. Webster will, no doubt,
surprise many of his constituents whose
ideas on slavery amount almost to fanati-
cism. Yet il was bold and patriotic, and
we believe, resulted from high and holy
motives--the salvation Of the Union. He
was we'll aware that much was expected
from him, and that he had a high responsible
duty to perform, and he rose to perform it
as he says IN his opening, "not as Massa
chuseits man, or Northern man, but as al
American" .-..
