VeJster's Speech on Foofs Resolution.

In weight and compactness of argument
there is nothing like this speech in Amer'-
can annals perhaps it might be safe to say
that in these respects, it has never been sur
passed, if ever equalled. 1t would seem I'M
possible that the mental powers could De
kept in vigorous action during SO. long Pc
Rod, as the delivery of this great Grafton
must have occupied that 50 high and SO
long flight could lie maintained without
indications being seen Of WEAKNESS or flag
cling. Il is grand, a mighty monument
that ages in the distant future, will look at
with delight and admiration. In it, " Dan
ieI Webster still lives" and will forever live.
1t looms up in its massive proportions above
all that Senates yet have heard, as the Co.
Tseun. lifts its ponderous walls high above
those Of every other structure. In powe:
and force of argument, it is truly wonderful.
On tina point, the principal one in the great
debate, touching the constitutional right of
State to declare null and imperative
within its limits, law Of Congress, the 10
cician was strongest, though every
where and at all times strong. Here is a
chain of argument and reasoning like ada
mant. 1t was forged out link after link,
and hurled continuously, SO long ana so de-
structively against the walls Of Modification,
that they fell broken and utter Y demolished.
Like that stream of iron hail that poured
necessarily from he redoubled batteries Of
" Wellington, upon the Old Guard of Napo-
leon at Waterloo, it cut down to the earth
every thing within its range. As in that
last battle o: Napoleon the veterans Of Aus
terlitz and Wagram, who were never toiled
or driven back in any charge they ever
attempted, faltered and fell beneath the
deadly sweep Of the British artillery SO the
champions Of nuliiication gorying in their
strength, rceled and sunk to the ground,
stunned and scathcd by the lightning of
Webster's logic. His victory was complete :;
and in his glorious peroratlon, he left the
field, marching to the music of the Union
am! with flying banners, after the terrific
roar Of his heavy cannon had died away upon
the ear.
Thirty years have well nigh rolled past,
since the battlements Of the Capitol were
rocked by the strife of the giants, shat then
occupied the Senate hall. But, well do we
remember the alarm and excitement of the
time-Doubts and fears were entertained,
that the powerful array of talent on the side
of disunion would carry all before It in the
discussion. The rends of tie Constitution
looked chiefly to Webster. Accounts
reached US that he woul4 be on hand a
need, and that we hight rely upon his doing
knight'y service. At Length, after much
anxious suspense, the news came that glad
dencd our hearts for we heard Of truth,
that Webster had torn down the fortress OF.
notification, and carried oti the gate posts
upon his shoulders.
