I had hoped not to be required to say more on the subject discussed in the above Letters; but, during the last week, Mr. Webster has issued, in a pamphlet form, a speech made by him in the Senate on the 17th ult., accompanied by his letter, dated on the same day, to some gentlemen on the Kennebec River. In this letter, Mr. Webster has referred to me again; and I regret exceedingly to say, that he seems to have given himself full license to depart from all the rules of courtesy belonging to a gentleman, and to disobey the obligations of truth belonging to a man. That I may not be supposed to make any over-statement respecting the character of Mr. Webster’s language towards me, as expressed in this letter, I quote a specimen or two from it. “A pamphlet has been put into circulation,” says he, referring to the first of the above two letters, “in which it is said that my remark is ‘undertaking to settle by mountains and rivers, and not by the Ten Commandments, the question of human duty,’ ‘Cease to transcribe,’ it adds, ‘upon the statute book what our wisest and best men believed to be the will of God, in regard to our worldly affairs, and the passions which we think appropriate to devils will soon take possession of society.’” He then adds, “One hardly knows which most to contemn, the nonsense or the dishonesty of such commentaries on another’s words. I know no passion more appropriate to devils than the passion for gross misrepresentation and libel,” &c., &c. The angry and reproachful language, in which Mr. Webster has here indulged himself, releases me from all further obligation to treat him with personal regard. Yet I do not mean to avail myself of this release. Under our present relations, however, I do feel at liberty to use considerable plainness of speech.
