_sonting the truth, from t, entire,malicious | r before seen in any publication | very falsehood here would justify the use of a monosyilable which some mon are base enough to have thrown inte their teeth; but which a gentleman: would hesitate toemploy. Every statement is literally, totatly and entirely false. ‘ “The Governor was tol! that he must release M’Leod.” of State never apy such thing, “Or see the meguificent commercial emporium, the ot New York, iaid in ash Ashes!” he never said ‘‘ashes,” nor “emporium,” nor agnificent commercial emporium,” nor any thing of sort.

And here follows the fifth letter. “ Ob! no, said the Secretary, if you aver try him, you will bring destruction upon yoursel!.” Such was the statement by a man or thing, that holds a seat in9ne ofthe Houses of Congress. ‘The contents of these five le,ters be refers to facts not generally | known,” but which he had received from “ the best authority.” I don’t know, said Mr W., where he got thority, unless from the perusal of a chapter of bis recent historical work. Let me state what did occur. Mr. rthen stated a conversation with Gen Har ich the latter had observed that he had re- d a letter from the Governor of New York, suggest- ing a logy! proceeding for the release of Alexander McLeod. Gen. Harrison had directed Mr, Webster to write to the Governor of New York, expressing his thanks, and commending him for the ‘proceeding sug- ted. The letter of Mr, Webster bears date March 11, marked “private.” The President expresses his ol. rvs. (suggested by the e of fteteod, ‘on the ground this country of connected with the case, and danger of a collision with Crittenden, (the Attorney was the bearer of this lett ly to the Governor. letter—the only letter. jood with a ciroum from beginning to a but he would hold uy; mean to look at the picture he had faintly, drawn, snd to write at'the bottom of it Pleased. From the speech :— “The next step taken by the administration was to appoint a district attorney who was to be charged with the defence of Alexander McLeod--the gentleman who | was lately removed from offico—and a sand dollars was put into his hands for this purpose.” | Now, this government had nothing more to do with | the appointment of Mr. Spencer than the government of | France. The gentleman from New York, (Mr. Dickin- It was here could be no mistake in such a matter, Mr. | fer continued the reading from the pa: Ingersoll’s speech engrafted into Mr. Dickinson’s “Application was afterwards made to the Supreme | Court of the State of N. York for the release of McLeod. The Judges did not think properto grant the applica. | tion. The marshal was then about to let him go, when | bo was told by the court that he must do it at his peril, | and that if McLeod went out of prison be should go in.” | Mr. Webster did not know how the Marshul of the United States did have or could ha any thing to do | with the case at all. From the speech “He would call upon the venerable gentleman from Massachasetts, (Mr. Adams.) who had preceded him as chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, to sustain | hum in some statements which he was about to make.” | Mr. Webster said he did not find thet venerable gen- tleman from Massachusetts had sustained him, (Mr. In- wereoll) in these statements, and he would venture to | say that he never will From the speech : i Though Lord Ashburton came here with full power to adjust the Oregon question, yet it was adjourned.

He had no recollection of | anything of the kind. But again— | “ "These ars facts which no one ean dispute.” | { dispuie them (said Mr. W.)—I have not the slightest | recollection of them. With some further remarke to this effect, he resumed his sol the at quotations from Mr. Inger- | would call to the recollection of those who read | wpepers, Mr. Webster’ public dinner there gi strongly recommended a commercial treaty with Eng- | , aud brought forward the policy of free trade as a | fair equivelent for Oregon.” j Mr. Webster said that in bis Baltiioro speech referred to, he had said not a word of Oregon, nor alluded to Printed speech to prove this statement a falsehood. Why, sir, hydrostatic pros. sure has not the power of condeiising falsehoods into compact 2 mass as we have themhere. Steam power could not afford the requisite pressure to do it. * A commercial treaty!” I argued for just ex: actly the reverse. Mr. Webster read from his Balti. more speech to show that he had 1 spoken not of a treaty, | bat of “arrangements” for the admission of our Indian | corn, &o. The constitutional power of laying duties and collecting revenues belonged to Congress, and not | to the treaty-making power. Repeating this last charge | of Mr. Ingersoll of a “commercial treaty,” Mr. Webater | said he grew weary of the review of sllegationsso ma | icious. " One thing inthe speech was truc. The person | he hed never agreed with Mr. Webster in poli- | and Mr. Webster said he did not think he ever | nal had-once seid, that had he been | a ik 1 woul fe that the Declaration of Independence ad been adopted with great difficulty, if not by accident. | Mr. Webster denounced the idea, and the spirit th: . But says the speech :— | “ These were facts which no one wonld dispute, and he did not state tiem from any hostility to that gentle- j man, whose abilities be had always groatly admired, but | with whom he bad never agreed politically, from’ the | whon he fizst met him in this hall, thirty-three | years ago.” | \ Whose abilities he haa alwoys admired.” Forbear, for | God’s sake, forbear such praise. He could stand the | abuse ofsuc’ a man, but his commendations were insup- | portable, Whatcan the creatura mean by these malt. | cious libels? Is it a native want of perception—a natural | obtusoness, from which he cannot discriminate between truth and falvehood? Or has he beoa so long in that school of politicians, who believe that all is {air in poli: tice? Mr Webster quoted another fe of the speech,"setting forth the love of Mr. Ingersoll for the | old Bay State, and other points referred to im this | discussion: | “He would not now dwell upon what he would un. hesitatingly call the evormities of the Washington trea- | ty- He hed often expressed his mind upon thet subject here. But that treaty was now a law—the supreme law | ofthe land—and the matter was settled. By that treaty ‘We gave up the right of search, w: ve up the power of extradition, in consequer ce of which a poor innocent wo- men was not long ago dragged across the Atlantic from . this Country to answer acharge made against her there. ‘We gave up the north-eastern boundary after Mr. Buch- anan had, under a resolution of the Senate, drawn an un- answerable ms ag oy Bele concluded by the asser- | tion of the va of our title in the disputed territory, and after the Se ad unanimously adopted that con: clusion.

These pretensio: taunts of | of the British government, and degrading surrenders of ours, hadso much exasperated the people of this coun- | try that they were determined to submit to them no | Joogor. It was thus that the Oregon question became | coauected with the proceedings of the Baltimore Con. veution, and indelibly impressed upon the American | public sentiments. | “Mr H. adverted to e statntory enactment which was the result of that treaty—e good |i rhapr, in some | Fospects—which took ‘away from the States their orimi- | nal jurisdiction in such cases 2s McLeod.
