wEBSTER's sPEECHE:..

J. I .
In one of the debates in Congress, which
suddenly called Daniel Webster to his feet,
he made brief but eloquent speech, APP
pareatly without any opportunity for pre-
viOw Preparation. In the course of his
rsmaxks, he threw ont the following sem
tenoes which has ever since been admired
as one of the most harmonious and ex-
pressiye in the English language. He was
speaking Of our military conflict with Great
Britain "Our fathers raised their flag
against q power to which, for purposes Of
foreign conquest and subjugation, Rome,
In the hight of her glory, is MOTTO be com
pared; q power which has dotted over the
surface Of the whole globe with her pos
sessions and military posts, whose morn
ing drumbeat following the sun in its
course and keeping pace the hours, circles
the earth with one continuous and unbrok-
en- strain of the martial airs of England
As he sat down, one of the Senators con-
graduated him upon his speech, and, al
luding to the above passage, said that to
him It was inconceivable how Mr.. Web
ster, in a speech so manifestly unprcmed-
itated, could have formed so perfect and
so beautiful sentence, which with hours
of study he could not improve. MIR. Web
ster, replied that the passage was not ex-
temporaneoiis that in his vacation he had
visited Quebec, and while standing upon
the massive and almost impregnable cita-
del there, looking upon the wondrous
scene of national grandeur and OF natures
loveliness spread before him, the idea oc-
CARED to his mind. He Immediately took
his seat upon gun, and with pencil and
paper sketched the thought in the most
appropriate language he could at that mo-
msnt command. Upon arriving at his ho-
tel he sat down at his leisure, and wrote it
and rewrote it, with many interliniations
and erasures, Until he had modelled it into
the form Of words which satisfied him.
He then laid it aside in his retentive men,
ory. to be used when The occasion should
offer. The opportunity arose upon that
day. sn nsss 81, ~ sas.tra a IT.
