can war was before the Senate, did not dare to vote, but dodged the question, afraid to be wholly Southerner or Northerner, and striving in vain to outdo Winthrop in facing both ways. [Cheers.] Three cheers for the man who went into Virginia, and, under an October sun of the Old Dominion, pledged himself-the recreant New Englander!-to silence on the slave question; a pledge infamous enough in itself, but whose infamy was doubled when he broke it only to speak against the slave on the 7th of March, 1850. Three cheers for him [They were given, but so faintly, that a shout of derision went up from the whole audience.] Three cheers for the statesman who said on the steps of the Revere House that this agitation must be put down, and the agitationists have entered Faneuil Hall before him. [Great applause.] Three cheers for the man who could afford no better name to the Abolitionists than rub-a-dub agitators, till Kossuth found no method but theirs to chain the millions to himself; and then

some lines, written in an album by Webster, when asked to place his name under that of John Adams:-- If by his name I write my own, 'T will take me where I am not known; The cold salute will meet my ear,-- Pray, stranger, how did you come here In the printed speech of Mr. Everett, you will find three feet,--exactly one yard,--by newspaper measurement, about the Northeastern Boundary map with a red line on it! but not a line, or hardly one, relating to the great treason of the 7th of March, 1850. The words he dared to speak, his friends dare not repeat; the life he dared to live, his friends dare not describe, at the foot of his statue! To mention now what he thought his great achievement will be deemed unkind Mr. Everett's silence was wise. He could not blame; nature denied him the courage. He was too wary to praise, for he recollected the French proverb, Some compliments are curses. So he obeyed the English statesman's rule, When you have nothing to say, be sure and

e hint or suggestion as to any method of dealing with our terrible hurt. Indeed, one of his terrors of disunion is, that it will give room for an European, an uncompromising hostility to slavery. Such an hostility — the irrepressible conflict of right and wrong — William H. Seward, in 1861, pronounces fearful! To describe the great conflict of the age, the first of American statesmen, in the year of Garibaldi and Italy, can find no epithet but fearful. The servile silence of the 7th of March, 1850, is outdone, and to New York Massachusetts yields the post of infamy which her great Senator has hitherto filled. Yes, of all the doctors bending over the patient, not one dares to name his disease, except the Tribune, which advises him to forget it! Throughout half of the great cities of the North, every one who touches on it is mobbed into silence! This is, indeed, the saddest feature of our times. Let us, then, who, unlike Mr. Seward, are not afraid to tell, even now, all and
