Webster as Master of English style. ID y
EDWIN 7. WIuPPLE Boston Little, Brown Il

The compiler of this work, of over seven
hundred pages, has dissected from Edward
Everetts six-volumo production of Daniel
Webstor's life andy works his most prominent
orations and speeches-those which distin-
guished him as the master genius of American
oratory in his age aud generation, and has
brought them into convenient form. To
critlcise Daniel Webstcrs oratorical efforts,
even with fulsome Gattcry, would be like gild-
ing refined gold. Those who have read them
should read them again, and those who have
not should Immediately avail themselves of a
copy Of Little, Brown & Company's and afford
themselves the pleasure and profit of a careful
porusal. Tho English language is nowhere
displayed with greater purity aud richness
than in the eloquent speeches ard orations of
Daniel Webster.

Again Inviting Defeat.

Consistent in their defence OF fraud and
corruption, the Republicans Of tho House OF
Representatives presented n solid front in
behalf Of GEORGE f. SEWARD, to defeat tho
articles Of Impeachment against him. They
rcsortcd to all the parliamentary tricks pos
siblc in the closing hours Of the session to
prevent action, by refusing to vote, so as to
leave the House without quorum; by calls
of the yeas and nays; by points Of order in
tcrjectcd without reason; by dilGtOry mo-
tions; and by questions to the Chair in
tended merely IA Interruptions.
GARFIELD. CoNGER, BUNDY, and others
madc themselves conspicuous in this Of
fcnsive course: but in these efforts TO shield
and save SEWARD from tho penalty Of his
offences thcy only rivetcd the public gaze
more iiXcdly ON the case. and left him I'm a
worse prcdicamont than when the proceed
ings began. Mr.. BUNDY attempted To at
tract sympathy for the arraigncd party by
a pompous declaration that the name Of
SEWARD should not be dishonored If he
could prevent It.
Who has reflected dscrcdit on the name
but the man that bears it, who has also dis
graccd the Offices OF trust with which he was
ullWoIlnllN nOnOIcu NO Eastern uCAppJ
exercised more power than he did over the
persons and property Of American citizens
while holding the place Of Consul General at
Shanghai and that immense power. as the
proof shows, was used for his personal profit.
The greed OF gain appears TO have been the
prompting motive Of all hls official action.
His only plea before the Committee was
substantially a confession Of guilt, and his
pretcnce of persecution was Il shallow after
thought, which no one believed. In the face
Of damning testimony and OF a record al
most without example for shame in the
whole history Of tho diplomatic and con-
sular service, the Republican party, rs rep
resented in the House, rallied to the support
OF this man with a unity and zeal worthy Of
the best cause. They also rallied with SINH
lar spirit and vigor to the support Of SECoR
RoBrsoN. They thus closed the Forty-fifth
Congress with defiance of public opinion and
defence Of rascalty, as they did the Forty
third with load Of corruption and prodi-
gality which sent majority OF hundred
into Il disgraccd minority. Another defeat
Is thus invited

in the nume Of the Free Conservatives. that on

anre with some OF its points.
The principal incident OF tho debate was

Herr Lasker. The Inter declared that never

Council had used much more offensive expires.

Prince Bismarck said that the Government had

not think the struggle yet over. ~ was proved
by the Brrsnu election. He proceeded 90 point
to the American regulations Tor securing pro-
prirty Of debate in Congress-. and concluded:
We trust you will stand 10y us In the fight
against Socialism longer than the two years
prescribed by the anti Socialist law, with the
energy which We expected Of you ut the time Of

ington, as unfriendly TO us, and calculated
to fan the passions Of Mcxicans into flame,
included dignilled protest against a ruth
less outrage. 1t expressly cnjoincd Gen.
THEvISo to "act with prudence" and it
employed this language:
"Thc supreme magistrate OF the republic believes that
he faithfully mtcrrrcs the feelings OF the Mcxicans it he
accepts the situation in which hers placed rather than
the humiliation vt offence which would reduce Mex.
leo to the condition Oi nbarbarous country and beyond
the communion Of international law. The President
does not wish, however that the attitude assumed by the
soldiers OF the republic in Of troops uespassng
upon territory ringing International law. he
puted Of hostility toward the United states but
that be considered the exercise Of the legitimate
right Of sclde that appeals to only in the
treme when amcablo means unavailable to
make 1t respected"
In addition there are in the diplomatic ar
chives OF the past twenty months originals
and translatons OF Mexican newspapers by
the score, forwarded by Mr.. FOSTER for the
express purpose OF proving what is now
coolly ignored the violent and unalterablc
hostility OF the Mexican press and people to
tho rading outrages of HAYES.
Last autumn, when the Mexican Congress
met 1t maintained the same attitude. Pros
idcnt D1Az, in his message, informed Con-
gress that his Government sought peace
and friendly relations with the United
States, but its request for the withdrawal of
the order Of frontier violation had been re-
fused Congress replied that Mr.. HAYES
order was "a misuse Of power and an as
sault on national independence; and it be-
sought the people Of the United States to
listen to the voice Of reason
From that timo till now nothing has
changed these views of HAYEss conduct.
Successful Mexican campaigns against In
dian cattle thieves have demonstrated the
fact that Mexico can and does police her
own frontier. To mislnterprot those cam
paigns, or Mexicos prompt payment OF her
third installment Of 100000 on the ndom-
nifty award to American citizens, or Senior
ZANtACoNAs pleas for tho increase Of COM
mcrcc, or the cordial welcome given In Mex
leo to the trade deputation as submissions
to HAYES raiding policy, would be an In
suit TO the already deeply injured sister re-
public.
The efforts, hitherto fruitloss, to extend
commerce between Mexico and the United
States are confronted at every turn by anx-
iety and suspicion in Mexico and by an
acute sense Of injustice and outrage. For
this the country may thank Mr. HAYES.

What lie Does for Commerce.

The meeting held in the Cooper Institute,
few evenings Since to promote trade with
South America and Mexico, unfortunately
fell at time when the closing days Of Con-
gress absorbed public attention. One Incl
dent OF this gathering, however, must not
escape notice. Col. WHITING, telling the
story Of the late trade excursion TO Mexico,
found bright prospects for American COM
merce in Mexico's hospitality, in her wealth
Of products, in her growing manufactures,
In her recent efforts TO make trade and travel
safe; but he was compelled to add this
drawback:
There is one obstacle. however 10 amicAh.e inter

territory OF Mexico at will II Is cowardly tor nation
VI nifty millions to thus insult Of eleven Millions AMI
the insult Mexico will resist President DAz told me ne
ready to give the right hand Of fellowship just
the order to Cen ORD was revoked but not be-
Ioren
Here. then, we find ascertained and ex-
pressed through a private commercial OK
pedition, what Mr.. Fosters dispatches
have studiously concealed. Mr.. FOSTER has
found stumbling blocks to commerce in the
financial straits OF Mexico and in her polti-
cal turmoil, both of which he has painted in
special hostility TO Americans which he al
leges, declaring that American citizens are
brutally murdered by the score and no pun
ishment follows;" he has found them in the
want Of railroads in Mexico, which, he
argues, can only be built by American capi-
talists "under the protection Of the Gov
eminent OF the United States" But he has
had nothing to say against this menacing
and insulting order Of frontier violation
which, while it exists, makes cordial joint
relations Of the two republics for CONNER
cial purposes quite impossible.
Yet at no time has Mexico taken any
other view OF this outrage than the one re-
ported by Col. WHITING as still existing.
The order of invasion was issued by HAYES
on June !, 1877. 1t was Immediately resented
by President DIAZ rs "a violation of trea-
ties IN force, Of international law, and of
the practices Of civilized nations" On the
18th Of the same month PEDRO OGAZoN, at
That time Mexican Minister Of War; in
structcd Gen GERONIMO TREYlSo, division
commander at Piedras Negras, to spare no
pains to capture evil doors, but also to let
Gen. ORD understand the following;

The Harris Swindlc.

We have heretofore noticed the gross I'M
fairness Of the bill which Mr. HAMILTON
HARRIS forced through tho Senate for the
apportionmcnt OF members Of the Assembly
among the counties OF the state But this
measure IS less Objectionable than the bill
he has ivSt carried for dividing the State
into Senatorial districts. This willy and I'M
scrupuOus politician, under whose lash the
senate seems to cover has devised a scheme
whereby the counties lying below Albany
are 10 lie deprived Of their due share Of SEN
ators. while many OF those in the northern
and western part OF the State reap the benc-
lit Of this unjust apportionment.
We will demonstrate tho truth OF our as
sertion by a few examples. fairly selected
from numerical tables. The representative
population for n Senate district under the
census Of 1875 Is In round numbers 1876, 600.
A. most Of the districts must embrace two
or more counties, It is of course impossible
to make the entire thirty-two districts ex-
actly equal in population. But 1t is easy to
define their boundaries without violating
the Constitution and every principle OF
equity, as the HARRIS bill does. For in
stance. according to his inquitous measure,
some Of the Long Island, New York city,
and Hudson River districts have repre-
sentative population of 10000 $4,000, l4s,-
o)o and similar numbers, while several Of
the northern and western districts contain
representative population Of only 10000
100000 and even as small as l0l 900.
The portions Of the State which it Is pro-
posed thus To- rob generally go Democratic,
while the portions that are 10 receive the
plumber invariably go Republican. But
does this make the HARRIS bill any the less n
cheat, and the conduct of its supporters any
the less dishonest,
