The country has been furnished with beauti-
full specimen of Whig consistency in the recent
course of Daniel Webster s. Co. in regard to the
Mexican War. A few weeks since, it will be
remembered, Mr.. Webster asserted in his place in
The Senate his honesl conviction that the War had
gone on long enough, and that we oaght to pause
and offer peace to Mexico: Well-what next2

Webster for this assertion, but what, in the mean
time, was the Administration doing2 Offering
psaee to MsrieO; and yet when the proposition
from the President for an appropriation of two
millions to enable him to conclude peace during
the recess of Congress, went to the Senate in se-
cret session. 'honest John Davis" the colleague

and thus defeated the efforts of the President to
bring about just what Webster and the Federal
lists had suggested and advised ]! Comment upon
