THE Webster Dinner—The Globe, Argus, and other relics are much nettled at this dinner and the speeches there made. In their feeble cry such honor paid to the opponents of the Administration, as a stab at their own misgovernment—and they vent their dissatisfaction like very drabs and scullions. Take for instance this example from the Globe. It is part of an article imputing to the Opposition generally a disregard for morality.

"Mr. Webster and his temperate partisans, with a political priest and a political deacon, swilled down two thousand bottles of champagne at a sitting, and caroused til midnight, we are to be told. I suppose, by the new Federal school of morals. Why what of that?"

We suppose, if it had only been the "punch and mint juleps," with which Mr. V. Buren and his suite were refreshed at Richmond, the "temperate partisans" of the Globe would have felt no horror at his "carouse," and might have shown their respect for morality by a little more decency of language, and regard for fact.—N Y American.
