Secretary Of State. delivered q. the recent Congress

tar oG.s.rips and eclpses even the orillian. eIo-
uuen.e that has thus fa- irrsdis;ed the career Of
-kossu.h, from staten Island 20 the Capital. The
hungarian hberator, in his fervid elooaence and
wonderful illusions, has generally confined himself
10 Hung s-ian ependence-Hungarian nationality
Hung ian freedom-wth some few brief illusions
&c similar destiny hanging over the neighboring
nations OF Europe. Kossuth's principle Of foreign
intervention looks ike single brilliant drop, roll
ing the top Of the high surge OF liberty, as It
dashes " the shores Of the coming world. Daniel
Wets.er's speech, ard views and principles
with Mr.. Stewards g di..os,' form that surge
profound, comprehensive, and migh:y-inyolving
roliti al changes OF the most important. magnitude
both OF this continen, ard on the other beyond the
Atlantic.
The sreech Of Mr., Webster, with Mr.. Stewards
distos,' delivered at that BANQUET, was brief,
solid. compact, comprehensive, to 8 most extra
ordinary extent 1t presented a condensation, in
solid mass of the various theories and beautiful
figures, and splendid contradictions, ana brilliant
aIostrophes, which have thus far irradiated the
course of Kossuth. In one view, Mr.. Webster has
enunciated, with Mr.. Stewards ''d..os, the mighty
priocple that every people possessing national cha
racter and peculiar institutions, entitled, under
the laws ofGod and human nature to national indie
rendence, and to the national right to organize
their own government, enjoy their own freedom,
and control their own destinies. kossuth, on
the same principle, has been speaking in favor of
Hungary but Mr. Webster takes up the idea,
generalizes IT, consolidaes it, and axes it az uli-
cable to every Ion of beth continents and to all
the races and communities which possess similar
habits. eongenai institutions, and a,.onal cha
rGcteristics. This is the wonderful generalization
which the mighty mind OF Daniel Wepster-the
native OF New Hampshire-the grea. intellect OF ne
present age in this countTy-has, with Mr.. Sc
wards d'tcs," given to the new ideas, foasing,
IL various shapes, Throughout the land; sometimes
the lips of the mob of New York, sometimes
in the inspirations OF Kossuth, and sometimes in
the huZzas Of the humbugs Of Staten Island, Phi
ladelphia, and Washington.
Mr.. Websters speech, delivered at that ban
quet, with Mr.. Stewards "dittos," sanctions by his
concurrence in the actions Of the past and his views
upon the future, Intervention, both domestic aad
foreign, of a most extraordinary and unlimited
extent The executive and the legislative powers
of tie government of the United States have already
taken the first steps in this great movement Of
human progress and human rights. They in
