MIR. WEBSTER.

At the request of a friend, we transfer to our
columns the able and eloquent speech of Mr..
Wood, of New York. in advocacy of Mr.. Web
ster's claims to the Presidency. Whilst the
present distinguished incumbent of the Execu-
tive chair is unquestionaby the first choice of the
Wings of this State, yet we feel no hesitation in
saying that should the nomination fall upon Mr.
Webster, they will yield him their cordial and
hearty support. The great statesman of Massa-
chusetts has by his recent course on the sec
tional questions of the day, acquired strong hold
on the confidence of the Southern Wing party,
and by no portion of the Wings of the Union
would he be sustained with greater zeal and una
nimity than by those of Virginia.

the above paper their special organ and have adopt

son. upon the subject of the rights of State. Itwas
presumed to speak the opinions entertained by the old
hero from the fact that its principal editor, Andrew
Jackson Donelson had been the private secretary of
Jackson, his intimate and personal friend, and

proved concusively. that he held to the doctrine Of
States Rights, and that he amed in his Proclamation
alone at the Right of Notification, heresy as we have
ever commended and the broad and inalienable
right of sovereign community to any powers
they may have delegated, and that the sovereign
muny having selected no arbiter or Judge, retained
to itself the exclusive light Judge, well of the in

we say, was the Interpretation, understand it, of
that Proclamation and was to this Interpretation to
