SPEECH OF DANIEL WEBSTER,
AT ANDOVER, MASS.
We give below extracts of the moat important
parts of the speech delivered by DANIEL WEBSTER,
at a great Whig mass meeting held at Andover,
Massachusetts, on Thursday the 9th inst. The
meetmg, which was called at the instance of some
of the most prominent Whigs of the State, is said
to have comprised an assemblage of six thousand
persons. Mr. Webster took the occasion to define
his position, and has brought himself out "as
staight as a hook."
Mr. Webster commenced his Address, says the
"Forum," by declaring himself ready to perform
any duty to assist the election of the Whig condi-
dates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor of
Massachusetts, and he believed they would be sue,
cessful. Ho had very little new to say in respect
to the National and State Governments, and the
duty of the General Government towards the vari
ousclasses of citizens—agricultural, mercantile and
manufacturing—on the importance of keeping sacred
the public faith in its obligations to pay debts, and
on the importance of a reformation in the currency
of the country, Which should furnish a medium of
universal receivebility and of equal value. His
opinions were known and unchanged. On the cur
rency question he believed a Bank of the United
States, founded on private subscription and with
discounting powers, out of the question, because the
circumstances of the country have greatly changed
since the expiration of the last charter of a Nation
al Bank; ;wcause the State institutions have multi
plied to a very great extent; because many of the
States derive the chief portion of their revenue from
the tat which has been laid upon the capital of the
bar& operating within their limits. Nevertheless,
he was quite willing to agree that a bank of the old
model is perfectly constitutional, and that it has in
its favor the authority of precedent; and if the time
should ever come, sooner or later, in which, in the
wisdom of Congress, and the general judgment of
il*SOuntry,;a bank of this old plan should be made,
it would - certainly have his hearty concurrence.—
Hut he still thought that an institution of this sort
to be productive of good to the country, should
rather ,loe an institution for controlling issues, and
for superintending, and taking care of, and keeping
from running to excess, the issues of other banks,
than for furnishing discounts for private puposes.
As. Id the Tariff and Protection, he gave his
opinion with precision, because a sort of ultraisin
is the characteristic of the age. He gave as his
opinion that the power of favoring and encouraging,
of protecting our own industry, by a judicious dis
crimination in imposing duties, does belong to Con
gress; that it is necessary, and by the general under
standing of all nations is included in the power of
laying duties, and that this discrimination ought to
to be kept in view of Congress, and applied in all
proper cases. Mr. Webster's own language on
the subjects is as follows:
"The first of these points then, I repeat,,
is that so long a subject of controversy—
the duty of the General Government as
to Thu CURRENCY. Now, all agree that
Congress has ( tower to regulate Commerce
because it is in the Constitution, clearly
\ expressed. lhat body may also regulate
the coinage of the country, and fix or
change its value; for the power is dis
tinctly given in die Constitution, But a
wide diflerence of opinion has arisen as to
v hat other powers and duties of the law•
making branch of the government are
fairly referable from these express grants
of power, in the Constitution.
It will be conceeded that the United
States have the power, under the Consti
tution, to issue bills of credit, treasury
notes, &c, This the States cannot do,
and the question has hence arisen, (dur..
ing the agitation of this controversy,) on
what power properly devolves the duty
of superintending the paper circulation,
which is requisite in the transaction of the
business of the country. Now, for many
years, my opinion has been, and still is,
that this is nut only a power, but art abso
lute duly of the general government. It
is clearly granted, in its delegated super
intendence of the coinage, a power some
what beyond the mere fixing of its value,
and causing its emission. Under the
head of regulating commerce the general
government has, clearly, given to it the
power of regulatinw ' the actual circulating
medium, so as to be the best and safest
for the people. I have already remarked,
that I did not mean to go very much at
large into these points, because my views
upon them are all on record. Anil
I will read, very briefly, in illustration of
the particular point I am now on, (though
I confess it is ever bail taste to quote one's
self,) from a speech delivered in Faneuil
Hall, on my return from Congress in
1838.
Here follows a long extract from that speech,
giving Mr. Webster's opinions on the currency,
while in the Senate of the United States.
"My wish is," resumed Mr. Webster,
after reading the above extract, "to rea
son with the great mass GI the people on
this subject calmly, and to convince them,
it possible, that upon it my views are cor
rect, and with this design, I would sug
gest to their consideration three points,
the first of which is that, in the present
state of society, in - the present condition
of the country, labour will always be cap
ital, and all that humbug about a ruetalic
currency, of which we have heard so
much, is steely unworthy of considera
tion. (Cheers.) Is there any man in the
Commonwealth who can, without blush•
ing, (a laugh,) who is so wedded to party
as to say that this is not so, and not feel
his cheek burn with very shame 1 (a
laugh.) Is there any man who can deny
that, in the circulating paper medium of
this country, there should be a larger por
tion of the mass of circulation which shall
have the characteristic of general receiv
ability, if so I may express myself*. So
that, from Main to Georgia, and along
the whole extent of the Mississipi, there
should be in the mass of paper circulation
something that every persoh respects 1
Something that benefits every body con
nected with commercial affairs ? Is it
not desirable that the man in Illinois
should be able to command a medium of
circulation, in which he can remit to the
manufacturers at Essex what he owes
them,? And [with an arch manner, pe
culiar, at times, to the orator,] is it not
equally desirable with the manufacturers
of Essex that the may of Illinois should
do s (Roars of laughter.) And there
is another query : can the States or eith
er of them furnish a medium of circula
tion? Experience proves the impossibili
ty of this. It is true that you can, if ,in
Virginia, take a Massachusetts bank note
to a broker, and receive front him the
money of Virginia without discount.
knows these state institutions, but the
mass of the people have no knowledge of
them whatever. They know the powers
of the general government and of their
own; but they cannot know what the
credit of other states may be .and what
degree of confidence one may show
to either.
"And now where is that power, and
where does it exist I I say that it exists
in Congress, by virtue of that provision
of the constitution, which grants them
power of regulating commerce and the
coinage. It was Mr. Madison's mature
opinion, that the government, under the
power of regulating commerce, had the
power, also, of issuing a paper circulation.
The power is coeval with the institution.
The framers of that instrument did not
doubt its existence. Washington in his
administration of the government, did not
once express a coubt upon the subject;
but gave his assent to the incorpo ration
of a United States Bank. Madison did
not doubt Inn.; upon the power of Con
gress, but yielded his assent, upon the
ground that it had peen settled by judicial
interpretation. We have men amongst us,
who have said that a Bank of the United
States charter was not constitutional, but
shall we go on doubting the propriety of
what has long ago and oten been settled
by our fathers and grandfathers ? We
must at some time or other take things as
settled or fixed,or we never can expect to
enjoy the benefits of a constitution.—
(cher rs.) But I will not extend my re
marks on this subject further, at the pres
ent time, because in some parts of the
country, I am happy to say, the severe
commercial embarrassments which have
of late retarded their progress, are now
relieved. In some of the Southwestern
States, it is true, this is not so. There
is nothing like money there, all transac
tions are carried on by a system of barter
and exchange ; the most loose and de
moralizing form of commercial traasac
tions now in existence. In New England
we may feat no immediate harm arising
out of this state of things ; yet there are
certain laws of trade, certain established
principles always operating between man
and man, by which we are certain to come
back to the position, that a paper curren
cy is absolutely necessary to the wants
and demands of the country. At the
present moment, as I have already said,
business seems to be growing better,
money is more plenty ; there is, as the
brokers' say, a better feeling in the mar
ket; arising, doubtless, from the impres.
sion by which the Banks are actuated (in
which I do not, however, concur) that all
mercantile paper be safely discounted.
Prices, it is well known, increase under
large discounts, and we have already had
sufficient experience in the fact, that this
results in a present excited excess; arid
this produces revulsion ; and an il
lustration of the fact already insisted up
on, that a superintending control of the
monetary affairs of the country is abso
lutely necessary.
Now, I have never said, nor do I say now,
that a Bank of the United States is an
indispensable agent to the attainment of
this end. I only insist that it is the duty
of government, in some shape or other, to
take care of this great question. Eight
years ago in my place in the Senate of the
Unite States, I said, that notwithstand
ing the great good which the Bank of the
United States had done, it was not worth
my while to advocate the establishment
of another until the People shall impera
tively demand it. This is my opinion
still. And I repeat is hat I said on a re
cent occasion, that a Bank to be establish
ed by a private subscription to its stock
would not be likely to command the con
fidence of the country as before, from the
tact, that circumstances have materially
changed, and that an institution would in•
terfere in those States, which demand a
portion of their services by a tax on
Banks. Still I am now, as ever, ready to
agree that the old Bank of United States
was perfectly constitutional, that it was
decided to be so by solemn decisions of
the Courts, and the abundant precedent
of legislation, and to re-establish it shall
have my hearty support, believing it, as I
do, a powerful controller of circulation,
and as preventing serious excesses.
I come now to speak of that portion of
the subjects assigned me by our Commit
tee, which involves the subject of a Tariff,
and the degree of protection it yields to
manufactures and the agricultural pro
ducts of the country. Arid it is my in
tention, fellow-citizens, to state my opin
ion on that subject with some degree of
precision. Because I believe a sorter
altruism has become the prevailing char.
acterestics of the age we live in, not only
upon this subject but upon a great many
others. Man will not only run to the
Ganges but he must go also to the remote
est extremes of the work. They would not
only have a Tariff, but an ultra protective
Tariff, amounting even to a prohibition.
Now, I believe a power of discrimination
does below , . ' to Congress, at.d that it ought
to be kept in view by them, and applied
in all proper cases—an opinion which, I
am happy to say, is shared with me by
many distinguished gentlemen.
In connection with this subject, there
are a few general truths-to which I would
draw your particular attention. Congress
has the power to lay duties on importa
tions; but no state has such power.—
This is a very important point. Before
the adoption or the Constitution, Massa
chusetts not only possessed, but actually
did exercise this power, as did several
other States in the Union. And it was
Mr. Madison's argument and conclusion,
that the States did part with and relin
quish that right which they possessed be
fore, to the general government, they had
a right to expect, (as they did expect) to
be protected as before. (Tremendons ap
plause.) Now Congress does possess the
lower to regulate comtnerce,and may fair
y claim this power having been always
understood to involve that favoring par
ticular products. England herself, from
the time of the Tudors down to the pres
ent day, has so understood the powers of
government in the regulation of trade.—
Mr. Adams and the rest of the patriots
immediately preceding the Revolution,
practised upon the same principles, so,
with little interruption, has it been in the
country ever since.
Mr. Wedster spoko but briefly on the Distribu
tion of the proceeds of the public lands and the
preservation of our national faith. That portion
of his remarks which are of a more personal nature,
as defining his own position, we transcribe ver
batim, from the report of the Boston Atlas, as
follows :
"Gentlemen, having detained you in
this cold so long by the discussion of these
public questions, I have very little to say
of a personal nature. Gentlemen, I am
nut a candid ate lor any office in the gilt
of the Government or the people. I have
been named to no office in the course of
my life, at my own suggestion, or recently
with any previous knowledge. I am a
private citizen; and that condition will
never be changed by any movement or
effort for that purpose made by me or at
my suggestion. In my opinion nomina•
tions fur high offices should come, if they
come at all, from the free expression of
the respect and confidence which the
people themselves may feel. All solici
tation- for such nomination, all canvas
sing for such high trusts, I regard as e.
qually inconsistent with personal dignity
and derogatory to the character of the in
stitutions of our country. As a private
man I hold my opinions upon'public sub
jects ; they are all, in their great features
and general character, such as I have ever
held. It is impossible that I should now
turn back in the path of my political o
pinions, as it is that I should retrace, step
by step, the progress of my mature life,
till I shall find myself a youth.
"On the leading questions arising under
our Constitution—on the importance of
maintaining the expression of power
which that Constitution estaLlishes; on the
great principles of which the policy is to
promote all interests, and to maintain
general harmony, prosperity, political and
religious, my opinions, the result of no
little study, and some little experience,
have become part of myself, identified
with all my habits of thought and reflec
tion ; and, though I may change my views
or not have the same views at all times,
yet it is quite impossible that I should ev
er take such views as should lead to a de
parture from any cardinal principh. As
a private man, I sin ready to do all in my
power to uphold the principles which I
have ever (teemed important, and to sup,
port measures which the public interest,
in my judgement, may require ; and as
measures cannot be accomplished without
the agency of men, to support men of the
highest character, and of the most unex
ceptionable principles, who may be most
likely successfully to lead in and forward
such measures,
And here, perhaps, I ought to pause;
but the gentlemen who invited me were
pleased to express their approbation of my
conduct in remaining in the Cabinet after
the other members had withdrawn. I
should not have alluded to this subject,
gentlemen, upon this occasion, but fur the
reference which tho Con:mittee made to
it. Aware that many persons in the
country, having a feeling not unfavorable
to me, yet think that I ought to have left
the Cabinet when my fellows did, so I do
not complain of any iairly conceived opin
ions in this respect.
“If by such persons as 1 have'referred
to, an explanation be required, as to my
pabt or present life, l will readily give it ;
but on the other hand, if those who deal
only in coarse vituperation, and satisfy
their sense of candor, simply by talking of
the duties and unfaithfulness of Wai 4 s,
they will receive no answer from nit. Tht
burning propensity to censure and reproach
by which such persons seem to be actuated,
would probably be somewhat rebuked it
they knew by whose advice, and whose
approbatiOn, I resolved on staying in
the Cabinet. Cientlemen, I could not
have been satisfied if I had departed
greatly from the measures which I had
adopted, and which required my co-oper
ation in the station which I retained. The
whole country was in a very inflamed
state--no man of sense can suppose, that
without some very strong motive, I should
wish to (hirer front t hose with whom I
had so long acted: and as for those per
sons whose charity leads them to seek
some other motive, neither their candor
nor their sagacity deserve anything but
contempt. I admit, gentlemen, that I
had a very strong'desire to be useful as an
instrument in settling the difficulties with
England. And perhaps there are some that
think it was a personal motive that actus
ated me from the beginning, but it is of
no use to charge the with seeking any
selfish advantage. Such charge I repel
with scorn. I thought I saw an opportuni
ty of doing the State some service. To
be sure the charge might excite some con-
tempt, for those who made it could hard
ly have been capable' of any Niger effort
than that of making a noise.
aI say it does excite in me some con
tempt, but no more respectful sentiment,
when such persons swell their throats,
and cry out, like little bantam cocks, that
the country must look out, or Mr. Web
ster will show his unfaithfulness to our
Whig Principles.
have said, gentlemen, that I thought
I saw an oportunity of doing the State
some service, and it is in no spirit of
boasting and vain-glory, and out of no
undue feeling of self•respect, but I hope
with a proper self-respect, that I say what
I now do, and leave the public judgment
to decide, whether my conduct in this
matter could have been better. On this
question, with you and in the judgment
of this generation of my lellow citizens,
and the next generation, I ant willing to
agree that my name, and fame, and char
acter, shall abide the result.
"there was no difference of opinion
between the President and myself on the
great questions of Foreign relation; and
' never, as I foresaw then, and experienc
ed afterwards, was there any difficulty
' from that source, and it is but an act of
justice to say that I have found him inffu•
enced by just pi inciples and proper sent.
intents, and desirous at the same time of
sustaining the honor and peace of the
country.
"Gentlemen, exception was at one
time taken to a note which I addressed to
the National Intelligence'', on the ground
that it implied censure on my colleagues
for leaving the Cabinet. Speaking only
fin• myself, I intended no reproach to
others, and if there was any ambiguity,
candor might,l think, have interpreted
it by another note at the same time. It
must have been obvious to all, gentlemen,
that my remaining in the Cabinet of the
President, after'the retirement of my co!-
leagues notwllistanding the personal F,ooti
will between us, must have been painful
and .embarrassing to us both. My retire,
ment, therefore, was the necessary result
of circumstances, and I am not called on
to say more.
.'ln conclusion, I have but to declare
what 1 have said on another occasion, I
am a Whig, a Massachusetts Whig, a
Faneuil Hall ‘Vhig,' and by the blessing
of God, no man shall have the power, now
or hereafter, to degrade me from the po
sition which that character confers.

is adduced ; but certificates are presented
from Citizens of our own county.
From William M'Lain, Esq. of Dublin
township•, Huntingdon county.
I was affected with Scarlet Fever. A
physician prescribed Dr. Shade's Pills. I
made use of three doses, which proved both
emetic and purgative, cleansing the stomach
and bowels equal to any calomel I have ever
token. I have since used the Renovating
Pills in my family and cannot say too much
in theirfavor.
