Mr. Webster's Speeeh.
At a crowded meeting of citixrm of both the
former political parties, held iu Fsneud
Hall, on, o?i the ?v?niny pj-tceding
the late election, the Hon. Dsnvel Web?ter
embraced the occas^oa to tdtireu his fei
low-citizrns- ?* No address," remarks the
Centinel, 44 ever delivered in the cradle
of liberty from the day* of Jame? Otis to
the preaent day, was ever listened to with
more intenseness, or impression, or wai re
ceived with more ardent and uii?nimuu?
acclamations." We copj the toliuwmg re
port of it from the Uoatoo Courier
Mr. Wcoster a?id, he t*aa q tit* un
accua omed to appear in ihat place;
having on no occa?ien, uddresaad hi* f?l
low-citizcns there, either to reccmmeoAi
or oppose the support of any candfr
dates tor public office. He had loD?
been of opinion, that to preserve the
ui>tin tion, and the hostility, of political
p-inio, was not cuokUun with toe high
eH decree of public good? At the same
tiiac, he did not find fault with the con
ru t, nor question the motives, ol those
who thought otherwise. But, entertain
in>; this opinion, he had abstained fiom
attending on tho?c oc? asions, in which
the merits of public men, ahd of candi
dates lor office, were discussed, necessa
rily, wi:h mere or less reference to par
ty u'tocnnieiit, and psrty orgsnizstion.
The present wasa different occasion.
The sentiment which had called this
maetin* together, was a sentimont of
union ana conciliation; a sentiment, so
congenial to his own feelings, and to
his opinion ol the puplic interest,
that he could not resist the inclination
to be present, i?t>d *o express Us entire
and hearty approbation.
He rhouh? forbear, Mr. W said, from
all rcmaiks upon the particular names,
wnich nad been recommended by the
committee. The had been selected, he
must presume, lairly . aud 'With conside
tar ion, ly thoae who were appointed for
that purpose. In cases of this tort every
one cannot expsct to find every thing
precisely as he might wish it; but those
who concur* ed in the geoeral sentiment
would naiuralsy allow that arntimeui to
prevail, us lar as possible, over particu
lar objections.
On the general question he would
make a few remarks; begging ;he in
dulgence of the rneeiu.g, if h?. shcu-d
say any thing which roipM with more
propriety proceed Irom oih is.
He herdiy ? onceived how v*c.ll-dispo
*ed and intelligent mn ds could differ, as
to the question, whether party contest,
and party strife, organic d, system atic,
and continued, were of themselves desi
rable ingredients in the composition of
society Difference of opinion, on polit
ical subjects, honorable- competition,
and emulous rivaliy, may, indeed, be
uselul. But thete are vtry diff^reot
things frcm organised and systematic
party combinations. He admitted, even
that party associations wer? sometimes
unavoidable, and perhaps ne< estary, to
other ends and put poses But this did not
prove that, of tbemselscs, tliry wee
g->od; or that they should be continued
and preserved lor their ewn iakc, when |
there had tsassd to be any ouject to be <
effected oy tbem.
But < here m rere those who supposed,
thai whether political party Jis'ioc tloos
*eri-,or were nul, useful, u wot impos
sible to slvdish them N'<>w he thought,
on the country, that under present
circumstances, ii was quite impossible
to continue them. New panic* indeed 1
might aline, growing out of new events,
or new questions; but as to thoae old |
parties, which hud sprung fromcontro- I
versics n?w no longer pending, or from
feelings which timo and other reuses
had now ch.Higcd, or greatly allayed, he
did not b*liev* that ihey could long re
main. Efforts, indeed, made to that cod,
with ?ral and pcrscverance, might de
luy their extinction, but, he thought,
could not prevent it. There was nothing
to keep alive those distinctions, in the
interests and objects which now engage
society. New questions and new objocts
arise, having no connexion with the sub
jects of past controversies, and present
interest overcomes or absorbs the re
collection of lormer controversies. All
that are united on theje existing ques
tions, and present interests, are not likely
to weaken their elTorts :o promote them
by angry reflections on past differences.
If there were nothing, in things, to di
vide about, ho thought the people not
likely to maintain systematic controver
sica about men. They have oo interest in
so doing. Associations former to sup
port firincif)lc?t may be called fiartiet ;
but if they have no bond ol union but
adherence to particular ment tbey be
come faction*.
The people, in his opinion, were at
present grateful to all parties, for what
ever good tb?y ha** accomplished, uni'
indulgent to all for whatever ol error
they had committed; and, with \brse
feelings, were now inainly intent on the
great objects whi- h aflVc'ed their pie
sent interest* There n ighi '-e excep
lions to this remark, he Hasaliai 'ji.fcj^
were, but nevertheless) such
..Wed 1 urfl
to biro to be the general f> eung in the
count* y. It was natural thai bom- e pre
judidi es, should remain .ot>tt*r tivn
their cause*, as the wavea lash the
shore, for a lime, after the ste. n? t as
subsided; but the tendency of <ht ? ><?
m<-i>ls was (? repose. Monopolies ?>f all
aorta were getting out < f la.-bioi., they
were yeildint to liberal ideas, ant. 10
'ha obvious justice ar d cxproiemy of
lair competition.
An administration of the geccral go
vernment, which had been, ?r- ?!?
highly aatisfaury to the country, had
oow closed He was not ?sm .n/v it
cou*?> with propriety be *au' thai that
administration had been c-uh^r sup
ported, or oppos?d. by sny party asso
ciation*, or on any pariy principles.
Cenain it was. >'(181 as far as there had
been an organized opposition to the ad
ruinisi ration, it bad nothing to do wr.h
torra^r parties. A new adminUt'a ion
had now reaDmeec*"*, an* he ne? o hard
ly -?<?y that he ot^at iibirai and c*i?' ili
atory principles had betn atowio. It
cuuld not be douoted, *nat it would con
lorm to those principles. Tbus In, he
believed, it ? course had given general -a*
liafsctlon. After w'-a :h?.y all had teen,
in relation to the gentleman hoidir -g tho
highest appointment 10 the cxe. u??ve de
partment, under the presidt n<? re would
take this opportuni y to s*y, that living
been a member of tbe ht use rcpic-?en
istivos for six years, during 'h^ tar n' eat
er par; of which time Mr. I lay had pre
sided 10 that house, he was most happy in
being able, in a manner leas formal tahn
by concurring in the utuai *'.te? of
thanks, to express his own epm.or of
bis liberality, independence, and h >nor
able fading. II?- would take ibis occa
sion also to acid, if' bis opinion could bo
ef any value in such a case, that he
thought nothing more unfounded than
that that gentleman cwed hi- p>e>ent
situation to any uoworthy compromise
or arrangement, whatever. He ow d it
10 bis talent, to his promiacm s anding
in tha community, ti> his corns'- of pub
| lie service, not now a short on*, and to
: the high eatimation in which be stands
with that part of the country to wrnclt
ha belongs.
Remarks, M> . Webster proceeded to

It is said, sir, that prosperity some
times harden the heart. Perhaps, ?l?o,
it may jIso sometimes have a contrary
effect, and elevate and liberalize iho
feelings. If this can ever be the result
of such a cause, there is certainly in tho
present condition of the country cnongfy
to inspire the most grateful and tho
kiodest feeling*. We have a common
stock both of happincssai?dof distinction,
of w hich we are all entitled as citizen*
of the country to partake. We may all
rejoice in the general prosptrity, in iho
peace and security which we enj y, anj
in the brilliant surest which his thus
far attended our republican institutions.
These are circumstances which may
well excite in us all a noble pride. Our
civil and political infttitutions, wi.ilc
they answer for us all the great ends
designed by them, furnish at tho same
time an example to others, and diffuse
blossings beyond our own limit* in
whatever part oi the globe men are
found contending for political libetty,
they look to tho Unitod States with a
tooling of brotherhood, and put lorth a
claim of kindrod. Tho South American
states, especially, exhibit a most m cr
eating spectacle. Let the great m. ? who
formed our constitutions of govemnn ,
who still survive, and let the utvlorru
