CLAY AND WEBSTER.

What would these distinguished statesmen

discussion, and violate a sacred compromised
Mr.. Clay, the author of the Missouri com.

raise such note Of rcmons,rapcc as would

did in his great speech ut Buffalo, in Nav,
1851, after the compromise bills of 1850 had
been passed and the whole matter, as he
thought, put ut rest:
"lfthe South wish any concession from
me, they will not get it; not hair breadth

will not find il, The door viii be shut; con.

patriots are now looking down with disap.
probation upon this attempt to renew sec.

that they are mourning over this infidelity-
