Mr. Webster's speech at Faneuil Hall, Boston on Friday week was looked for with extraordinary interest in all parts of the country. It has been published in all the daily papers of the cities, and read before this by all readers of newspapers in almost every town and village of the country. Our columns for this week were pre-occupied by other matter before we received it, but we shall insert it next week for the benefit of those readers who see no other paper. Mr. Webster makes no pledges as to his future course, and enters into but little explanation of the motives which induced him to remain in Mr. Tyler's Cabinet when his associates left it. However much he has been reviled by both Whigs and Democrats, every intelligent and candid citizen must now admit that he served his country more efficiently as Secretary of State than he could have done in any other station, except the Presidency; and more usefully than perhaps any other man in the nation could have done. In the present position of our foreign relations, he occupies his appropriate position. When the proper time shall arrive he will be able, we doubt not, to explain and defend his course in a way that will do him honor as a patriot statesman.
He deprecates the denunciation of President Tyler's administration by the Whigs, and is of opinion that whilst they have a majority in both branches of Congress, they might still do something to relieve the country of its present distresses.
