MR. ADAMS And Mr. Webster.

In the report of Ex-President Adams's late speech to his constituents at Weymouth, he is represented to have referred, in the terms following, to the course of Mr. Webster in remaining in the Department of State after the resignation of the other members of the Harrison Cabinet:

"Nevertheless, at the breaking up of the Cabinet upon the veto of the bank bill, (though I was glad of that veto, not because of the grounds it was based upon, but because the assent of the States was required,) I was one of the Massachusetts delegation with whom Mr. Webster consulted, and I strongly advised him to continue at his post. I thought the danger of war with Great Britain at that time to be imminent, and I had confidence that if any man in the country could avert it the Secretary could; and I therefore advised him to continue at his post. That danger has now happily passed away—and there is perhaps no other citizen who could have brought the negotiation to a favorable termination, and saved us from being plunged into a war with England."
