ry become involved with US, either by having their
courage excitsd by example, or by being dragged
into against their will Again, we are told that it
is mission to save the South from the doom that
impends and that our first gun will tally the slave
holding States under our banner. tell you, gentle
men, drag no State into difficulties. 1t is
preposterous to think of it. Would it be manly to
do it if we could! We must concede to the other
States what we claim for ourselves-intelligenc to
understand their rights, and courage to defend them
Yes, must take it for granted that they also have
some selrespect and that they are not towards and
cravens. am proud of the valor and herosm Of
South Carolina, but of opinion that other people
have these qualities also. And it is, in my Judgment
bad policy as it is bad taste, to assume that South
Carolina alone has the spirit and the intelligence to
defend and preserve the common rights of all the
southern States.

opinion of the saveholding States, and l declare,
with sincere sorrow, that not one of them, nor any
considerable minority in any of them, is prepar-
ed to advise or justify the secession Of South Caro-

men that represent some of them in Congress, but

No, gentlemen, have no hope that we can
any other State into secession at the present
moment.
think we should deceive ourselves if we suppose
we should excite the gratitude of the southern States,
or even their admiration, by secession. They will
let Us understand that is their battles that
shall fight, their that shall uphold. They
will not hail US the champions of the South. But
if the secession of this Stae-ts political separation
from the other saveholding S,ates-could be effect
ed as peaceably and quietly as some have tried to
make US beieve-it it could be done without the use
of a musket, a dollar, my conviction is, that it
would be dire calamity ourselves. We should
be the victims of the most extraorddary deuson that
ever ruined a country or people. And, in my de-
liberate judgment, all good men-al patriotic men
should strive, without ceasng, to avert disaster

also that the National 1nteliigencer is authorized
by friend Of Mr.. Webster's. since his (Mr. W's)
return to Washington, to state what iii. :tliS
Gentlemen, l regret extremely that slavery exists
in the Southern States; but Congress has power
to act upon it. 1t may be, however, that in the dis
pensation of Providence, some remedy for the evil

Raleigh Standard give Mr.. w. and its readers the
benefit Of this correction! will it continue its mis-
representations Of that eminent statesman and patriot
Register.
The Register noticed the correction" to this
Speech bu, it neither published the Speech nor gave
its readers any opinion in relation to it. That paper
lis afraid endorse the Speech, and it is also afraid
to condemn it, because Of Mr.. Websters connection
with Mr.. Fillmore; and hence it is silent. rhe Re-
glster charges US with msrepresenting Mr. Webster.
The charge is untrue. We pubished the sohoAe Of his
Speeeh, that our readers could see and Judge tor
themselves; and if we commented freely upon it, we
did so in spirit Of candor and with the Speech by
the side of our remarks. that all could perceive
whether We had misIepresented the author of it or
mot.
We are glad to find the above correction in the
papers, but had rather II made Mr.. Webster's

Of James B. Shepard. Esq, In our paper of to-day,

very much doubt whether any part Of the world
can produce better looking assembly than was then
and there assembled. The students are the handsom-

ever seen and the State has cause to be proud of

The number of persons in attendance was large
