MR. WEBSTER’S ADDRESS,
Issued yesterday from the Press of
Cummings, Hilliard &. Co. We copy its
concluding remarks, as a sample of his
style :—Boston Patriot^ July 2.
“And, now, let us indulge an honest
exultation in the conviction of the bene
fit, which the example of our country has
produced, and is likely to produce, on
human freedom and human happiness.
And let us endeavor to comprehend, in
all its magnitude, and to feel, in all its
importance, the part assigned to us in
the great drama of human affairs. We
are placed at the head of the system
of representative and popular govern
ments. Thus far our example shows,
that such governments are compatible,
not only with respectability and power,
but with repose, with peace, with securi
ty of personal rights, with good laws,
and a just administration.
We are not propagandists. Wherever
other systems are preferred, either as be
ing thought better in themselves, or as
better suited to existing condition, we
leave the preference to be enjoyed. Our
his'ory hitherto proves, however, that
the popular form is practicable, and that
with wisdom and knowledge men may
govern thenisehe.s, and ihe duty incum
bent on us is, to jireserve the consistene:y
of this cheering example, and lake care
that iioihing may Weaken its autheirity

at this place- containing a letter purport
ing to be addressed by your Special A-
r^eni, to the Agent for Indian Affairs, in
('xtenuation of his conduct iti suspending
liim from his functions under your in-
Mructicns, is forwarded for the informa
tion of the T'1-esident. If in writing such
a letter tlie Special Ageiit has so acted as
10 hnd himself within ihe letter or spirit
of tho^iC iustrucUwii3|it is obvious ihut
cerely entertain, for your jiersonal char
acter, as well as for your exalted station in
society, if I had again requested them of
you.
I acknowledge the receipt of your com
munication of the 2^?th, which has given
n.e pain as a man, but which causes tio
uneasmpss on my part as an agent or of
ficer of the Cieneral (lovernment. It has
given me pain as a gentleman, because I
think I can perceive that you feel com
pelled, (I presume from a sense of public
duty,) to transfer the jiursuit by the au
thorities of ('.eorgia from the/«(//«/» A-
gent to the Agent of the United
States (ioverninent. It causes no uneasi-
n«‘ss on my parf, as ati oflicer or Agent
of the (iovernnient, because I cannot sup
pose for a monient that my Government
u ill censure me for doing an act of sacred
duty to the Indian Agent, at the same
time lhat 1 performed, in suspending him
from his functions, an act of courtesy to
yourself and CJovernment, which you
thought necessary to the ascertainment
of unliiassed testimony. Had 1 entered
into feelings of fleniineiation against the
Indian agent hrforc his trial, or suspended
him without doing him present justice by
a frank expression of the reasons which
actuated mein doing so, I should indeed
have apprehended the disajiprobation of
my Govf'rnment, (to which aione I look
in the discharge of my duties,) because
lhat government is administered by men
pre-eminent for temperate and reasonable
rouncils, and who ceiuld not be induced,
by any considetations, to violate the
rights guaranteed to evei y citizen of our
country, however humble, by its constitu
tion, atid by the immutable principles of
justice.
Your Excellency calls on me to avow or
disavow' the letter to the Indian Agent of
which you appear to complain. W'ith
the exception of a few typographical er
rors I avow it us my letter. I send you
a corrected copy. It is such a letter as
my sense o( justicc imperiously called on
me to address him in perfui’iiunga Iiarsji
