to the President directl y-thus overstep
ping the prophecies OF official nercourse-compian
ing of the presence ofthe Secretary of State the Kos
suth dinner, and of the sentiments expressed by him
on that occasion. Whether MIR. Webster may con-
slider it proper under such circumstances to send Hun
his passport to grve him a second edition Of a
certain letter TO which he referred to the speech, is
more than l venture to predict in the absence of
fuller information. The public will understand that
the present information is given with the qualiica
ton OF the foregoing facts, it is part of my pac
lice inclination TO make statements without I'M |
ubted authority in every instance"
