SUPPRESSED PORTIONS OF
NJ r. WEBSTER'S SPEECH,
In the Case of Goodyear vs.. Day, mt Trenton.
TO THE PUBLIC

TO THE PUBLIC
This is indeed an age to be remembered.
On Saturday. May |, many of the leading presses
of NewYork groaned under the accumulated
weight of some twelve to fifteen closely printed
columns purporting to be Daniel Webster's great
speech on the India Rubber case, at Trenton.
Now, whether or not that publication was Mr.
Webster's Speech propose TO inquire, and sup
ply the answer by few comparisons OF this sPU-
RIoUs with the REAL SPEECH, as carefully reported
by Prof LELAND, assisted by two other Photographic
reporters. In comparing the with the REAL
SPEECH of Mr.. Webster find about two columns
rhoy sressedthe suppressed parts being taken from
different portions of the whole.
also find many things printed having been parts
of Mr. Websters speech. which he did not utter and
probably never conceived also find, throughout the
whole speech, perhaps hundred specimens OF
Photographed Errors" similar 10 these appended
below in other words what appears to me to be
wilfu perversion of Mr. Websters language, If
not bold attempt to make that great and profound
statesman and lawyer the author Of statements and
propositions which, upon careful investigation Of the
testimony he wisely and conscenously refused TO as
sumo or utter in the Court at Trenton before learned
Judges.
make Mr. Webster frequently say he thinks Charles
Goodyear the inventor of Vucanized Rubber, whereas
in truth he carefully avoided saying from beginning
to end of his speech he delivered at Trenton and
30 the true report shows heard and watched every
word of that great mans ingenious mastery and able
argument upon his clients wicked and bad cause and
before he commenced said 10 myself, now shall test
the virtue of that Godke man. shall see if he will
for md and
watched every word he spoke from beginning to the
end to see he would pronounce Charles Goodyear the
true and original suthor and thereby do what his clients
had paid him an enormous for, and agreed to pay
much more as am informed, doubtless in the expecta
ton that he would degrade his character to win for his
employers temporary triumph
But Daniel Webster did thus prostitute himself he
did not e1pre.s his oOnriesiOns that Goodyear his
nominal client the original and iareator Of
yrlcani,ed Rpb5r. Nowhere in his real speech did
he say before that Court in that Court House that
be himself believed Charles Goodyear the true and
original inventor of Vulcanized Rubber. He did
AL for his cause that he could do he went
an round about il. Travelled outside Of the travelled
record and gathered material in the case
his clients in their helsh desires rob of my rights
but he did Ros beerc that Charles Goodyear was the
thor nor can any other intelligent who reads the
testimony only about threcourths Of which has yet
been taken on the part Of the defendant
