caucus, it was the absurdty of the grounds on
which he withdrew from it.
In making these remarks we intend merely
to express our adherence of shams and pre-
fences. We have avoided all censorious com
ment upon the conduct of our Wing friends
who withdrew from the caucus. We are per-
suaded that they acted in good faith, on
what seemed TO them sufficient cause; and
we believe that the Southern WHO'S who re
NAMED acted equally in good faith, and upon
equally good cause. We should as soon UNI
dertake to criticise the course of those who re-
manned in caucus as of those who left it, there
fore; for in the views they respectively enter
tanned of their public duty they were in our be-
lief equally honest and sincere. But sham
WHIGs-pretended WHIGs-WHIGs like Mr..
CLINGMAN, who are habitually false to every
Wing sentiment, and to all Wing associations,
and who hold on to the name merely for the
sake of catching Wing votes in their districts; ;
when such men go into a Vine caucus for the
sake Of leaning it, we think that they are just
ly obnoxious to censure, and, if Of sufficient
importance, that they ought to be held to an
account.
We merely laughed when we heard Of Mr..
CLlNGMAN's capers in the caucus. We laughed
when we saw his name affixed with character
istic assumption to modified acquiescence in
the Address Of the Southern Wines. 1t never
occurred to us that it was worth while to med
die with such harmless exhibitions of selfcom-
placency But when Mr.. CLINGMAN calls upon
us for two columns aid half in our journal,
our readers might infer that we attach some
interest or importance to his political views.
We attach no importance or interest whatever
to the views of gentleman who claims to
be Wing in name, but who is not a
Wing in his votes; and all whose political
associations and affinities are with the men
who make no secret Of their desire and
determination to effect dissolution of the
Union, and the establishment of Southern
Confederacy. We look upon such men as
consprators and traitors; and we advise Mr..
CLINGMAN TO be more careful of his company
if he seeks by any penitential and purgatorial
process to re establish himself in his old Vino
associations.
With these suggestions, we commend Mr..
CLINGMAN's letter to the attention of such Of
our readers as sympathize more than we do
with Secession and Disunion.

MIR. Webster's departure from Washington
reminds me of fact which reflects equal honor
upon him and upon bis valued and able friend, Ed.
ward Everett. The six volumes of Mr.. Webster
speeches just completed in such elegant taste and
typography were voluntarily prepared for the press
BY Mr.. Everett. The great bulk of the labor was
hts, the compilations the selections, the reading
the arrangement, the introduction, the biography,
and many other things which speak for themselves
IN the several volumes which do 80 much credit 10
the editor, author, Publisher, and most Of ALL TO the
e,usc OF American literature. 50 brilant an cdi
tor and author have not been seen together in our
day or at any time; and IL speaks well for taste
friendship, when man of Mr. Everett's great
wealth and superior qualities is willing 10 give
whole year OF really very hard labor in honor OF
the literature of his country and TO friend
Daniel Webster and Edward Everett are names
which honor the genius, politics, and literature,
not only OF their country, but Of all time The
third edition Of Mr.. webster's works is now going
through the press, though the fret was SO recently

United States free from political connexions with
every other country, to them independent

8 want an american character, that the powers of

and not for others. This, in my judgment, ia the

public tranquility, and destroy, perhaps forever,
