Mr.. WEBsTER's SPEEcn-Wc copy
from the National Intelhgencer what that
paper states to be correct report of Mr..
Webster's Annapolis speech, which we
hope none of our readers will fail to peruse
attcntively. There is nothing remarkable
in thespeech itself except its tone which is
MISUNDERSTANDING, conservative and
patriotic. Mr.. Webster can invest even
commonplace idea, or thread-barc senti-
ment, with interest indeed one can hard
ly fail to wonder, after reading his speech
es, that he had not thought of all these
things before, they are SO simple, palpable,
natural and tangible. And this we, take
it, is the great power of Mr. Webster's
eloquencc. Hespeaks to nature the sim
pie language of nature, and reaches the
Judgment through the medium Of the
senses, rather than the imagination; and
hence his speeches find a Judgement in the
heart as well as in the mind. What a
giant he is in intellectual strength.
