Mr.. Illlard. whom had heard before at

with great power, and expressed himself in
beautiful language. with uncommon clcarnrsS,
and always in favor of moderate and patriot
ic measures. Contrary 10 the views of many
others, when the delegates to the Springfield
Convention were appointed, he urged that
they should 90 unpledsed - otherwise, in

not forgotten.
The democratic Convention at Concord
seems to have avoided the error of our whic

a word, their name NAV be legion. and it will
not therefore be necessary to dr>i snste their

Webster, on such a platform, and worse still
to peruse his remarks. He knows that the
MASSES, whom he so slandcrou>lv refers to as
followers Of Garrison and Phillips. contain
men of AS cool heads aud warm hearts As his
own-and even Phillips himself IN INV hear

made no progress for quarter Of a century,
and it is a we'll established and generally un-
derstood fact that neither Of these two wor-
thes takes any stock in the present move

DIR. House, whose antecedcnts are of an en-
trcly different character, are ready to help,

Such speeches as .h.t of Fletcher Webster
