The Mayor. has-spoken kindly of- my public ser.:
• - vices, And especially of the results of4he negotia.
tion'which has recently been broUght to a close,
and in which . I was engaged. I hope, fellow eiti
.
zons, that something was thtis done pciiininently•
useful to the country. I present no personal claims
Ofparticularmerit. I endeavored to do my duty.
I had:A hard sitmrneeir work.,—but lani nut %rite'-
, Iy unused to hard work, I had many anxious
daYsond some sleepless nights. BLit if the re.
sults of my labours merit. the approbation of the
• cotintiy, I tit be richly rewarded, and my other
•. b happier, as my other nights will give
still sweeter repose. 4.. sought to disperse the
cloudi which threatened a storm between England
and Atnerica. Poi several years past there has
• oxial.erra class of questions, which did not always
' thretthin war, but which never assumed the aspect
of permanent peace.
The highly lamented person-40 whom so just
a tribute was paid by the Mayor—at his,inaugu•
ratio% as President, in 1841, called me to the place
• I now occupy.; .and'ulthongh I know it is in bad
taste - to speak min.:ll,a one's self"; yot; among my
friendsfand neighbours here, I 'will say a word or
two if you please; I had the pleasure of .seeing
hind on several occasions , at his. house And else
where.' I have . never made any boast of the con-
.
fidence the P.rcsident,reposcd in me, but circum
stances, hardly worthy Or serious notice, have mill
dcrcd it proper that' I should, say' that as soon as
Gencral . HAitaisox. was eledtcd President ot the
United Statee, without a Word from me , upon the
subject, he wrote to me, inyiting,meto take a, place
in his Cabinet , leaving for mo to choose, snd 'ask
ing my advice as to the persons I would. wish as
sociated with me. - Ho - expressed rather a wish
that I-s - hould take the department of the
ry because ho was pleased to say that he knew I
had paid-someconsiderable attention - to currency
and finaece, and he felt. that the wants of the.Coun,
try, the necessities of
,the country on the subjects .
of currency and finance were among the causes
which had produced the revolution—thal revolu
tion which had resulted in placing him in the
. Presidential chair.
• - It so. happened that I preferred another situa-
which I now occupy: , I felt
,all its rer
-sponsibility hitt I caMsay truly and 'correctly
that whatever attention L had-poid to currency
and finance,l felt more competent to carry on oth
er. concerns - of the Government; and I was um
willing to undertalte.thc daily drudgery of trade.
• .* • * • , At •
.• Gentlemen :I am -liege to-day as a guest.
- waslevited by a number of highly valued friends
to partake with them of a public dinner, for the
purpose of giving them an opportunity - to pass the
usual greetings of friends now met after sonic ab-
Bence, to pay their rapects to my public services
and to'tender their congratulations at the. result
°file negotiations just concluded. It was at my,
instance that, this festival, from a dinner, took its
present form ;'and instead of Meeting you at the
--- festive - board;Felmse,-for-utiviousreasons,_thiti.
public manner. Still, gentlemen, its gmeral char
acter is preserved, and tun here us a guest. • I
am here to receive your salutations and greetings
on particular subjects. lam not hero under an
invitation, or an expectation that I should address
the gentlemen who have been pleased to meet me
here on.topies not suggested by yourselves. It
would not befit the occasion, theietbrc, in my o,
pinion, that I should use the occasion for any such
purpose ; becausciiilthough.l have a desire at some
time, not far diStant I hope, to make my senti
- - rnents known upon tho political occurrences of
the country generally, and the political state of
the nation and of parties ut the present moment,
' yeti knOW well that it would be improper for mo
to do so now, becanso I know well that the gem'
tlernen who have written to invite me here oil this
occasion, entertain, many °Hien), opinions very
different from my own, and they might very prop.
, crly say, " we,caMe here to greet Mr. Webster,
. and to extend our congratulations on those mat
-ters in which wo agree;' and we did not come
with the expectation that lie would use the oppor
tunity to discuss questions on which we differ."
On that account, andfor that reason, Isbell for
. hear ; thiriking it my duty so lode; and abstain:
ing from usiog , this occasion for the purpose of
expressing my own - opinion, and 'of stating how
flirlugree with friends With whom I have acted
for years, and how far I am most reluctantly con
strained to differ froth them, I look forward to a
future occasion, if such should be offered, for the
opportunity of fulfilling this promise. .
I will say ono thing, gentlemen, because ithas
been alluded to. The Mayor has been kind en
ough to say that, ha his judgment, having, die;
charged the duties of the Department in which
I have acted in a manner satisfactory to the coun
try,'
,might safely be loft to take cure of,my own
honor and reputation. I suppose lie meant,to say
that In the present distracted State of tho' Whig
party, and in .the contrariety of opinion which
prevails, (if there be a contrariety of opinion) as
to the course _proper to bp pursued by ' me—the
decision of that questiOrtmight be left,to mydelf.

men, that, in a qiiestion, tOuching ,iny own honor

I accept the decision tir a Whig Convention'for
'proper purposes; for k know that:only through
such bodies,•and such organization, great public
good, can. tie obtained. But it is quite another
question when a Convention, acting from the im
pulse of the nioment„decides upon questions which
. _
have, never been submitted to their arbitration at
'all. A full and final separation. they. declare,be
tivcen the whigs MussachitSetts - and the Presi
dent of the United States: This text reads a
commentary—what dims it mean? •-. 4
---- The - Prcsident - hasyckluce - years - of - his-term
unexpired. Does the resolution mean that during
that three years all the measures of his adminis..
tration shall be opposed by the Whigs of Massa.
chusetts—right or wrong? Great public interests
require his attention—those to which I have al
luded. . If the P . residert. orthe United States
should make an earnest and serious effort to efract
favoribly the navigation of the-country, to regu
lale the question ff•Brilish Cononial trade, shall
all the'
. Whiga fMa seehusetts separate 'from
him and refuse their aid? (Cries of "Nal") Well,
I Say No! If the President directs the proper de.
Ailment to review the whole commercial regula
tion's of the United States, to take deeply In con
sideration the reciprocity in our direct, trade to
which so much Menge is now, sacrificed—and the
proper' measdreq shall he suggested_ and and udop
ted by all the Whigs of Massachusetts
separate from and oppose him? Look„gentlemen,
at the question. Do you' know., that now a great'
proPortien—more than one half—of the carrying
trade, the 'transportation, for instance, of goods
bet Ween Brazil and the United Stites, - .is tarried'
on by the tonnage of North Europe; in cense
quenemor the considered reciprocity treaty?—
..icis well nrightwe admit them to share our coast
ing trade. We give them the right, without a
shadow of advantage in return,' to take - ,the bread
from our children's months' and give it upon
.Strangers: T ask yea; sir, (turning Imo gentleman
Olds_ right,) ea-a_ shipptngt rnerchant,- if this is
hot true;
Well, is o\•ery, measure of this kind to be post
poned or rejected—until tlio4e three years becoine
expired, and as many more as shall elapse before
the time when Providence shall bless the \Vhigs
with more power to do good than they have now.
Let its also be (rue -in another respect. The
Tarifftias acconipiislpid - much, - I honor-the mom._
bets who passed it. But what has it done? It
has restored tho country, in reg,orcilo protection
to where it was before the operation of the Coin-
promise Act cernmeneed. and it has done nu more.
ft tins rep - aired thdeonsequences'of that measure.
I may speak of the tomprornise Act.- My turn
to speak of it has atlast-come. I can truly---nay
that no measure was ever passed wliic•h cost me
so much grief 11:3.thet. Wo - 4-ave heard the mo
tives-of that' act presented. Why,:if by motives
gentlemen mean the -personal Motives of those
principally coneernbd, we deem them pure—as all
public men arc suppose' to net from pure motives.
•But if we look at the professed object of the law—
fwe look at what is ‘vritten on the whole trans
action—if we see what the-law expresses on its
face—iftlicse-acelts.matives—tAcy are as motives
still worse than the operation of the act
is explained in its action—every line is full of it
—every circumstance attending it is full of it—
the object was *neither more nor less"tlurn to im.
pose for all time, a restriction upon the Legisla
ture' in regard to levying &tics, without any
change of the Constitution. It was in fact to in
sert a prohibitory clause in the Constildlion, that
after 1849. no duty sliould ho laid which was no
according to an observed horiientaliqui or exceed.
cd•2o per cent. I say now; as I said then, that
the principle is false and dangerous; it admits a
Am.y.featureinto the administration of the govern.
merit and the .11 1 / 4 ws t. and the country only with
spasm and a throe can 'ever get rid of it. Hasn't
it done' this 'l' Y. thank God, it liaigot rid of it.
The present Tariff Law is sufficiently discrimin:
Ming,' holds to . 'common sensei and rejects' the
principle of the Compromise Act. I hope forever.
Another and original object under the revolu
tion of 1890 was the restoration of the currency
9f the conetry.' Our troubles did not begin with
a want of mor.ey in the Treasury; they did not
.begin . with the operation of the Compromise Act,
which commenced in 1833 and has been contract.
ing ever Since. There were other -causes of the
troubles, and while they remained, even if the
Treasury had been full, and the lira and protec.
tive policy undisturbed, yet till provision was„,
Made for a better.eurreney, of universal validity
throughout the land, the great cause would not ho
removed. .
At the special seislon of Congress the:Secre
tary of the Treasury, Mr.; Ewing, Submitted 'to -
Congress a plan for a National Banlc,Tounded up.
On the idea of a large capital made up by private
subscriptions and having a power to extend its
branches allover the countty.• need hot advert
to the circumstances of.its presentation to Con.
gross. It 'had received the .approbation of the
President, and was concurred in by every mem.
be-,of flip Cabinet as the .bast that, could be_dene;
for es we said , circumstances had placed in the
first place' the' gentleman
. whorn wo all thought
good enough for the , seeentland his opinions
Were different froth pure, hut'fixed—and we deem.
ed it the putt of Wisdom and prudence Co see how
We could get along , as Well its might be under the
circumstances. Mr. Ewing's :plan was sent to
Congress as it hes been described—except that'
thezbanh,could not establish branches in the States
without the, consent of the Stittes.,
.
New I had no idea.
,myself that ther was any
'nceessit3r for such pr ovision-att it was at must
'tne're theory—A.hough I .never, would: agree. in any.
case. With the doctrinethat the omission to mter-
, cise a pOwer is a' surrender of the power. What
wai.donel '.Doubts were expressed as to whether
the institution could go into operation; Many were
the douho aR to obtai ril ng subscriptiorm. 'What did.
wo do? We sent .td • the Comniercial .cities, the
principal, towns in the, country, and asked gentle
men of knOWn skill and' capital to Come and den- .

Subsequent events; and I 'must be permitted to

that the measure then submitted to Congress wee
the bCst end,thOonlir_rneiniure for the adoption of
Congress and trial by the People. I asp ready to
stake my reputution—•and it. is all I have to stake
—upon it; and that if tile Whig Congress will
take the measure and "give it a fair trial within
three years' it will 'be admitted by the whole
Anierlcan people to have proved the most benefi
cial institution everestablished, the constitutional
law only excepted. Understand me, take it as
it is—as it
_came front the consideration of the
Cabinet, not as it was afier,Congress, hail been to
work upon it., For when tlicly. 'struck out' the
power or governing . excliangTs, it was not worth
azash—not worth . the parib Merleon ivltich it was
engrossed.: The.grcat r de ire, ilMtirgent necessi
ty of this country is eturrency, ,facility, of ex
change. You work for the people of Alabama—
they plant for you, and you want q, common Me
dium, to equalize debt and credit with the same
velocity us steam transports men and machinery.
You have not got it—you can't get it but by the
authority and perniission of Government—never,
never. You want a large -and liberal pro Vision
for exchange, and without this you carmot.rcach
thd goal at which you aim. How will you do it 1.
I need not eaY by a Bank of the Urrited States,
based upon private subscrtption, for that is nut of
the question. The man who pursues that follOws
an obsolete idea. Suppose a law should establish
a'.l3ank with a capital of fifty : who will
subse'ribe to it? Whit will you give per share? It
is entirely 'out of' the question: Take it' then, for
purposes or , local discount—say, in State -street; -
do you want this untaxed capital to make your dis.
counts -1 • ," 1
'Yell, 'What shall wo over have for trepeat it,
many gentlemen propose to do nothing—but to
postpone everything till the incoming of the Jews.
Is nothing to ho attempted? When the -- Exelie:
quer was presented to Congrees it kves assailed
from all quarters. I believe •one ;gentlemen did
get courage enough to say. in' its' favour - that lie
did not know.but after .all,,by some
some good might come of it. BUtit had 'many.
different classes,Of opponents- Suirte-said that it.
would be a lifeless machineit would. not Move
at all; others said it Would have by far too Nola
life; it would answer the purpose ofits creatioli—
and that was to,inerease Excetitivo power. One
found it King Long and the other King Serpent.
Ono innicalcd it as a terrific giant - of enormous
magnitude, striding over .and crushing the liber
ties of the country; it would, therefore, break the
Constitution, and therein.° they „would oppose it.
These opposing agents o'ontradicted, if they-did
not reflite, each other, and convinced me Umtata_
plan could not be adopted, not even temperately
- considered. One. was afraid to do one thing lest
he should break the Constitution; and another was
afraid to - do another lest he should break it; and .
so.they did nothing. - One man weuld - net votc for.
a bank which had not 'the power to .establiith.
branches, lest he should break the Constitution,
another would. nut vote for one :which had, lest
that should break it. They acted like ti'boatinan,
who in the midst of rocks, and shoals, and whirl
pools, should refuse to poll ono stroke fbr h is mare.

Any time when the Whigs of this country will'
have more power to work, to effect the grand ob.'
ject—restoration of the currency—than now.—
This very moment,. at the approaching session,
the country .. calls in the loudest voice upon the pa.
triot not to put .off—not to postpone, but to-make
the best use of the means in our hands: • Here is
measure to which the Pr'esident is pledged and
advisers approve. Why not try it? and if it finds,
let the Administration bear it. If you will not
try it, propose something else. • .
' • In the events which have happened I ought to
say, and I will soy, because since I have begun I
ii ill make if free communication, as man to his fel
low man, of my opinions, and no one of age (and
I am not among the :;youngest) has written and
Spoken more against the indiscriminate use of the
Veto power than I; and no man's opinion on that
subject is mere unchanged than mine. It is Md.:
Sersally known I suppose—awd if not, it should
and shall be-thatl auvised against the'Veto in all
and every case in which it his been exercised by
the President. [Repeated cheers.]
:But while I have done this, I em not willing to
give up this great object for the sake bf making
up a case against the President. I cannot sym.
pathizo with those Whigs who in full possession of
power for certain objects,- attempt nothing and
will attempt nothing, until they constitutionally
get rid Oldie Veto. It seems like a mockery of
the 'expectations of the whigs of the country.
There is no probability that the veto power will
ever be struck out of the Constitution altogether.
There must ho some such restraint - in this as in
other eases. The People of New- York'have
termined that certain acts'shall not become lawS
without a vote of two.thiKde. The Note then is
no greater restraint than theT.lay upon them.
After till, the great objection to this course re.
commended by some of my' Whig brethreti,
that it is uttellihopelesp. Who expects to see
the day when this restriction of the veto shall be
brought about? Before restoring prosPerity to
the country, they mist wait fur an amendnient to
the Constitution.. I will not say that this is tri
fihigL-but Rig trailing' the Interests of the court.:
try withfar too little regard. , • • ,

he reached the rear .of the Capitol, the' veteran
Colonel was welcomed in a' ynry falictioua speech
by his !loner Calvin Blythe, to which "Old Te

Hoge with four splendid white horses, under the

as . any man how to rig

on the hill, the Colonel was escorted labia lodgings
where he addressed the volunteers, and thaAred

without inortiicatjon and sorroiv—atul this Step CAW'
not but diminish the admiration in which his char
icier has always-been .held.. In- the worths of the
Bosom Atlas. in speaking of Mr. Webster's con
nexion with the Cabinet some days ago—"it is the
strong man found to the weak man—it is the living
man bound to the moulderinicorpSe ! with the poWer
to shake himself clear of ih at-any moment—the
only-question is, how long-he can endure the nau

beautiful Proportions of a lofty - column 'of. _polished
marble--but how inueli - iiiihat admiration qualified,
when' itis discovered that all its grandeur is Wasted,
in the futile-purpose of supporting a Monkey on its
apex • `• • -•
It is due, in conclusion, to say of IHr. Webster'a
