The sbose3 card has been ssrEck of, and is
being circulated by some miserable secesh trait
Ors who can think of no better wav to uphold
their putrid cause than to circulate pretended
extract from speech Of the imfoerlal Webster.
The wholetbing Is .fglsek00d. There is no
such sentence, no such sentiment aotI,inq ike 4.
in Daniel Webssers great speech, delivered ON
the 7th of March, 1850. The whole speech was
an earnest argument and appeal against seeess-
ion and disunion, and though he alludes to Alb
oitiOnsts, it lis in very respectful terms as hoa-
est, well-meaniUg men, mistaken Only in the
means by which they sought to manifest an op-
position TO slavery, which be shared, aud was
willing 10 manifest, rs far as it could be done
consistently with Constitutional obligations
Daniel Webster never uttered a word from
which the uBprihcipled rebels and rebel sympa-
thizers now delugiBg' oar country with blood
canderive any support acknowledgement in their
tTaitorous course 1t is waste of time and oi
money, perhsps-the money of other people
for them TO forge denunciatiotrs against Adolf
tIonists a the atitborsOf this diabOieal rebellion
Compared with rebels and rebel sympathizers
the Abolitlonists are purity ITSELF and it is too
late to seek 10 hide the defOrmity of treason by
raising hue and cry against them. Alas to
what degradation have secession sympafhizers
fallen when they deliberately perpetrate so base
aforgerYiupon Daniel Webster, who, being dead
| yetspeaks, aud every word and Thoughts of his
is a burning, wishering denunciation Of every
sentiment aad every utterance of these traitors
and friends OF traitors who are 50 basely yillify-
ing his memory. ~ ''- = = -
Letlsueh,t h,traltOrs-resd that speech-hear what
Webster says, and then If any shame or COM
inon decency remains 10 them, let them cease TO
dishonor the memory of the great patriot sud
statesmen byattemptBg 10 torture any word of
his into Justification of their Infamous treason.
This is what Daniel Webster said ON the 7th of
March, 1850, OF secession:
1sSecession, peseeable secession Sir, your
eyes and mine are never destined to see that
miracle. The dismemberment of this vast
country without convuIsion The breaking up
of the foundation Of the great deep without
ruffling the surface Who is so foolish, | beg
every body's pardon, as to expect to ses any
such thing2 Sir, he who sees these States now
revolving in harmony around common center,
and expects to see them quit their places, and
| fly off without cOnvulsiOD, may look the next
hour to see the heavenly bodies rush from their
| spheres and iostle against each other in the
realms OF space, without causing the crush of
the universe. There can be no such thing as
peaceable secession. Peaeeable secession is an
utter impossibility. j viii not
| state what might produce disruption of the
Union; but sir ] see as plainly as see the sun
in heaven what that disruption must produce;
see that it must produce war, and such war
as viii not describe IN is t,oo fold characteT. "
Such was Daniel Webster's opinion Of secess-
ion, and yet those friends of secession, who are
hoping to see it successful, while they hypocrit-
ically pretend to be friends of the Union, seek
| to conceal their hideous treason by denouncing
/ Abolitionists. and falsely citing Webster as
| their authority. >5
