The contest between Messrs. Ingersoll and
Webster is one Of those events which are cacula-
ted to awaken the strongest passions of party.
Many of the scenes gave me profound pain. II was
a mortifying, not to say disgusting spectacle, to
witness grave senator--a man full of years and
honors--a man who had been distinguished the
recipient of high and honorable positions, and many
Of whose public speeches have been pronounced re-
markable specimens of eloquence in all countries,
disgracing himself as a senator, and degrading the
Senate, by display of temper and the use of Ian
guage such as would have been unworthy of n
bar-room, or common pot-house brawler. To see
the orator of Bunker bjll-he competitor of the noble
Hayne in the great discussion of lS30-the euogist
Jay and Msrshall-from whose lips some Of the
most favorite passages of rhetoric in our language
have fallen, trembling with unmanly and undg
nifed rage and bandying such bar.room epithets as
"liar, ;" "creature," "thing," was enough to make
any man. whatever his party blush with shame, and
will furnish our foes in other lands, for years.
with food for bitter and truthful satire. Such was
the course of Mr.. Webster. The department ofMr
lngersol, his opponent, was in most favorable and
refreshing contrast. Calm, gentlemanly, and brief
he repelled the accusations of his foe and restated
his own charges distinctly and authoritatively; and
question greatly whether the last rejolnder of Mr.
lngerso is not calculated to carry conviction the
popular mind. II will, at all events, require some
other means to refute it than low blackguard epi.

called making mouths" Mr. Webster and his
friends owe it to themselves to meet these charges
not by recriminations against Mr.. Ingersol with
which the principal subject is in no possible manner
connected, but by proofs and facts. Mr.. Ingerso
is one of the abest and most powerful Of our popu
lar leaders, and has contributed much to the eleva
ton of the democratic party; and although his
grave charges against Mr. Webster are regarded
sacrilege by the wings, and have been received by
them with bowling and curses, let him be well as
sured that he is looked upon with no less favor by
his political friends and the more especially as he
has borne himself like gentleman from first to
last


Il is proposed by the wings Of this city to give
Mr.. Webster great dinner in short time. IL my
recollection serves me rightly, there is somewhere
in history, chronicle Of the sayings and doings Of
"the god-liken at place called Pstchoge, at which
he threatened to maui anybody who came within
