RESPONSE TO MR. WEBSTER. With some exceptions, the general tone of the public press, both of the North and South, echoes earnestly the purely American spirit of the great speech of Daniel Webster. The idle assaults of the Hale and Sewards make no more impression upon the compact argument and national spirit of the great New Englander than would a couple of bum-boats upon the bows of a line of battle-ships. They may sink themselves by the collision, but the colossal batteries above them will not feel the shock.

After Mr. Webster's magnificent thunder-storm of eloquence, the South can listen without consternation to the chirping of the two grasshoppers from New Hampshire and New York, tiale may "tear a passion to tatters," and Seward, who would be scared into fits by the sight of a drawn sabre, may talk lustily about "extirpating slavery with the sword," but no one will heed either of these disgrunted pigmies. The voice of the North has been heard through Daniel Webster, while Hale and Seward speak for nobody but their own little selves. The late crisis (for we rejoice in the hope that the critical point has been passed, and that the ship of state, emerging from the midst of the breakers, is once more approaching the open sea) was one to try the metal American statesmen to test, not their powers of eloquence or of interest, so much as their moral man to place patriots on one side and demagogues on the other. Mr.

Webster has nobly stood the ordeal. He has exhibited an intrepidity of soul which had not been ascrib-: ed to Jiim, and a patriotism which knows no-boundaries but the limits of the whole country. Representing a constituency strongly opposed to slavery, he has dared to tell them their errors, and to proclaim that he should pursue in the Senate an independent course of action. An old man near the close of his public and mortal career, jje seems to be imbued with the fire and energy of youth, and has sprung to the front of the furious battle, wielding in one hand a sword of argument, which, like the ponderous weapon of Douglass, no other warrior can raise; and raising in the other high above his head, the banner of The Constitution and The Wholv Country. Under that banner, North and South, will rally.

The Soutluasks nothing but. to be left unmolested in the quiet enjoyment of her rights. The North, follow ing the lead of Webster, will desist from the insulting measure of the Wil mot Proviso, and from interference, with slavery in the Districtof Columbia. We hope for these beneficial results. We believe that the question will be honorably and satis-actorily adjusted.

We feel satisfied that the Rights of the States and the Union of the States have before them a prospect of safety, with Webster and Clay in the Senate and Taylor in the Executive chain Richmond Republican. Mr. A. W. Dessaner, a merchant of Weston, Missouri on his way to toe.
