REPORTED FOR STATE SENTINEL BY 7. D. BROWN.
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1851-11-17


From the Louisville Journal Novenber H..
An edition of Mr.. Webster's speeches and ora
tions, to be comprised in six octave volumes, is
now in course of preparation The work is to be
preceded by a sketch of the authors life from the
pen of Edward Everett than whom there is not
moro competent person for the task in the country.
Mr.. Webster's speeches are, beyond all question,
better calculated representation than those of any
other American statesman. No man has appeared
in our Government who is, in all the qualities Of
mind, the equal of MIR. Webster. Others have had
more genius, but one has equalled him in gene
raj breadth and capacity, scholarship and acquire
ments, and the power of grasping with the grip OF
giant all the relations ola great subject, and of ut
tering vast thoughts in style both massive and
manly. Heis the best speaker of genuine Saxon
English in the world. Doctor johnson advised
students who desired to write English with clear
ness and elegance to give their days and nights
10 Addison; but if a student wishes to become ac-
quainted with all the resources Of the English
tongue, let him study Webster instead of Addison.
| We regard the speeches of Mr.. Webster as supe-
rior to those Of Burke, any other statesman that
England or America has produced They arc well
worth publishing, and they destined to live and
to enjoy imperishabe renown, while they illustrate
and enrich what will hereafter be considered the
early history of American craftsmanship. The re-
ply to Hayne is the best speech ever delivered.
There is not of the speeches of Demosthenes,
Cicero, Burke, any other great orator. of ancient
or of modern times, that will compare with that
celebrated effort. II is

WANT OF PRovfsIoNs ON LAKE SUPERIoR.-The
apprehension VIC expressed last week from the I'M
possibility of sending forward the large amount OF
supplies that have been accommodating here for seve-
raj weeks past, are likely to be sadly verified. The
propellers that up the lake at that tune have
not ye; returned-thc Independence having been
out eighteen days, the Manhattan thirteen days,
and the Napoleon nine days.
II 10 estimated that there are al least H. 000 bbls
bulk of provisions and supplies OF various KINDS
now here and this amount is likely TO DC increased,
before the close of the week. to Is 600 bbs; and as
these supplies arc destined for the winter susie
nance of families, miners, and traders at all the
different points on the lake, it ia evident that the
whole country will suffer for the want OF them.
The three propellers will only carry altogether
about s 600 bbls. and if the weather continues ne
bo;sterous as il has been during the fall they will
not be likely TO make more than another trip.
After what said last week on the want oil
canal in this connexion, further application OF
this subject is necessary II there 70 any justice or
humanity in our next National Legislature, the
people of Lake Superior will not suffer for the
want of canal between these two lakes more than
two years longer Lake Superior Neios
