with the praise Of the great statesman Daniel Webster
that il may be endorsement OF his character and

speech Of Mr. Webster Buffalo in 1851 where he spoke
Of r. Fillmore in Of praise But be il remembered
that praise bestowed in 1851, before knOOiNgisE

the whig party 1t was anterior to all this. Whatever
Mr. Webster may have thought Of Mr.. Fillmore in 1851
belongs exclusively to that period and cannot with any
degree Of proprety be transferred to the present time
Mr. Fimores apostacy from the whig party and its prn-
cples and his absorption into the very bowels of know

would allow any sacregous hand to invade it with

forbid the banns between the whg party he left it. and
