By the poteness of the conductor of the Elk
press tain on the New Haven Railroad we have
copy Of the Commonwealth containing Mr.. Web
sters speech at Boston yesterday. Mr. Thomp-
son announced from the steps of the Revere House
that Mr. Webster had been invited TO meet his
fellow citizens, aud had kindly accepted the invi-
tatioD, and a committee was appointed, OF which
Hon. Thomas Bell WAS chairman, to Introduce him
10 the audience assembled in Bowdoinsquare.
On coming forward Mr.. Webster was received
with great enthusiasm. When the cheering had
subsidized he thus addressed the assemblage:
