MR WEBSTER vs. PICRA.
The brace of Infidels who conduct the Picra, published Webster's late speech for the benefit of those who go to their trough for fodder. The opinion entertained by these worthies of another speech of Mr Webster's may be found in the Picra of Oct. 14, '42, as follows:
"The (Faneuil Hall) speech is a specious attempt to cast a halo over the brightening prospects of Henry Clay."— but in this speech his (Mr Webster's) arguments are illogical and his inferences are not founded in truth."
