NEr ES0ycc's Speech.

Mcssrs Editors: 1t was my intention,
on reading the speech of our Repre-.
sentative in Congress, (Mr. Boycc)
sometime ago, to write you an article
on the subject. have however neg
lcc,cd to do so, until | find that others
ha" c been commenting upon it-somc
in iav, ur Of his positions aid some
opposed.
! WAS deeply struck with the logic
and unanswcrablc argument Of the
speech. His arrangement is method.
ical, his propositions clear and his
conclusions convincing. Entertaining
the views which always have on the
subject, was forced to cxclaim that
the speech could not be successfully
answered. lie has not thrust himself
upon the House. and his speech upon
the country, in the wrcckless style of
manifest Destiny; nor junpt into his
conclusions with the prodigality Of q
young. blood, who scorns the lessons
of history and experience but has
armed himself with profound thought,
deep research AMI careful preparation,
tho only means Of n reliable produc'
ton. Perhaps Mr.. Boyce is not a
man of the first talents ; but the as.
sid Gus and sober manner with which
he regards his subjects and the
strength and sincerity with which he
treats them, will always make his
speeches Of the first importance and
himself a man Of the highest grade Of
usefulness.
One Of the objections urged against
the spec, h is that it was ill-timed.-
Surely no time can be inappropriate
to make great effort to arrest the
current of public opinion, which is
t nding to what sincere mind con
ceives to be seriously hui ltful to his
country. 1t is the avowcd purpose OF
party in the South, and clearly the
intention Of the administration, to
acquire Cuba. And, though the en-
thusiasm upon the subject has some.
what abntcd, it is to be feared that it
is only dormant arnislce. Such
being the case it was proper for n
patriot, sustaining favourable cmi
nence, to raise his warning voice.
There are three points of view in
which every question, that comes be.
fore the country, should be regarded

An apology is due to our subscri
