Men will call you babbitt*. 80 they did Paul; but his babbling coneuercd the world. YoUr numbers are few: at his hrst meeting only seven listened to the words of Wesley though his lips were touched with a live coal from-off the altar of God; now thousands claim him as their spiritual head: at first Martin Luthtr had not a singic follower, now hundreds of thousands will not number his con. vert*. Truth has a vitility th it cannot be extin. gauhed : if it is crushed it will burst out somewhat* else, " like the smothered fires of a slumberiog volcano"." As Milton says of his angels, " Vital in every part It can but with annihilation die." It may be .

Wo ropy the annexed article from the Journal of Commerce, having reason to believe that in its esxontial features, both of fact and inference, it is in the main correct. With us, however, there is no disappointment that Mr. Webster did not make a speech at Faneuil Hall on Thure-J-.# riii.hr sincA uva had no reason to uaj ' ? | suppose (hat any meeting was to take place at that time, or any speech bo delivered. Not only was the Boston press si. lent as to arrangement* tor the purposo, hut we had other reasons to warrant a contrary belief.. True, indeed, many of our citizen* were led to suppose that there was to be a gathering and a speech from Mr. Webster, by the flourish of trumpets put forth by the leading total dtpraoily press. But all tnat, and the parade ol pretending to send off a corps of report, era, were merely in the usual course of the humbug business of that concern. The Journal, we. apprehend, is wrong in saying that Mr. Webster visited the Stato of Maino upon business connected with the negotiation. . There was a rumor that ho intended to do so; but we be. licve that in his journey <-f Jjnc, Mr. j j Webster went no fa-I her East than Bosj t?nj One word more :?While too much j honor cannot he paid to the Secretary of State for the great ability with which he conducted the American side of the ncgo tiation, and while it is beyond doubt true j that had not Lord Ashburton been selccj ted by S:r Robert Peel for the special mis' * ? ? n -! *17 -1 ."ion, ann nan noi lmiiiri ubkh i i Secretary of Stale. the difficulties between the two rot]ntrios would have remained j unsettled, there is another gentleman to whom great credit is due for the part he horn in tho negotiation, and without : whose assistance the principal negotiators might not hive arrived at a mutual un. ( dcrstanding.nnd a consequent agreement, J n" soon as they did. We refer to the j Hon. Abbott Lawrence, or^e of the commissioners appointed on the part of Maschusetls?ris sound and as clear-headed, and as noble a man, though without a ' title, as Lord Ashhurton. From the Jjurnal of Commerce. MR. WKRSTER AND TIIK TRKATV. i The assembly at Faneuil Hall, Bos. ton, to greet Mr. Webster and hear a i speech from him, wa-i expected to take ; place on Thursday night; but the day was not definitely fixed, and as Mr. Web ster was so much oppressed by a severe c.-Idas to be unable to. speak on Thursday, the matter was postponed, or rather, not brought on. Mr. Webster will make a good speech on tho occasion, "we do not doubt, Tor he; never made any other, diii what it will he, we cannot exactly foresee. Mr. Webster has a taken a sort of Journal of Commerce position that is a position of his own, independent of all parties. What he ran say which is like* ly to to be echoed by the united voice of the Whigs of Boston, wc do not know. He agrees with thein on the tariff* qucs* tion, but the great business of the day, abusing John Tyler, he will not go into. He and Mr. Tyler have, lived together on the most amicable terms. Mr. Webster has not only not boen thwarted in his do[ parturient hv the President, nor interfered with, but supported as lib wished. Mr. Webstor choso to remain in.office when the other mo libera of the Cabinet retired. He declared that be saw no necessity for the disruption. lie has not changed hi* opinion since ; and although he has given the President notice of his intention to retire from office when the news of ihc ratification of the tre ity lately concluded with Lord Ashburt ?n shall he received, his retirement is not based upon any quarrel or disaffection toward Mr. Tyler. Under such circumstances, it may he difficult for Mr. Webster to command the apulauseof republicans. Ho has indeed, bv remaining in office, done the country | ^ n * - ' -- ? ? !?" ? -?11 f Kt.r i,.,till in>> U re.11 ill.Ill nil mi.k, claim of the country put together. But what of that? He did it by securing peace: and war only brings eclat. There is gn at leasoi to bcleive that Mr. WebI ster alone^'ould have rendered Lord Ash. [ burton's misuon auccessfnl. At any rate i iic was eminently qualified for the task, and he managed it with consummate wisdom. In anticipation of the negweiation he repaired to Massachusetts and Maine, and lirst of a!l settled the funtlainental point that the negociati ?u was not to he inude n partv question He has thus brought both parties together, and pro cmed the commissio iers to be appointed equally from both. Having thus removed toe grand stimulant of com rov?r*y sis in all prohanility no oilier man could have done it, lie superintended tne negociatjon ai.d at least once suvid it when the wis dom of nil other negociatora had proved | inadequate to ihe exigencies which met them. The negociallon of this treaty is more important than nil (tie other men*, urea which have been adopted during tne year, and as Mr. Webster's services have l>t*;n jWdispen>nl>!e to the result, we repeat i that he has done nioro for the country I than nil other statesmen united.
