Speech of Hon. B. Toombs,
It will by soon by a perusal of tho following
brief synopsis by tlio Editor of tho Gazelle.
of a spoocfi delivered by Mr. Toombs on
Tuesday, 7th Inst, at Washington, Oa„ that
this gentleman lias takon tho field for W bu
ster and Jenkins!
Notwithstanding tho Inclemency of tho
woollier on Tiicsday last, a largo number of
tho gttizons of Wilkes assembled in tills place
to hear tho vlows of our distinguished Sena
tor on tho prcsuut slato of political afiklrs.—
Never liavo wo wltnossod such an attentive
andleiico ns tlio ono on this occasion j It
scouted as If all wore eager to Caleb orory
word which full from tlio Hon. gentlemen's
lips? Title was no pnrty moctlug, fbr wo saw
Democrats nnd Wlilgs,' Southern Rights men,
and Unloti mew, and nobody's men,all congre
gated to hoar what our renownod -statesman
and fellow-citizen might say unto thorn.
For nearly two hours (ills attentive audl-
onco listened to tho remarks of Mr. Toombs.
Ho began.by .rovlowlng tlio position occupied
by liimsolf for tho past two yoars, that ho
had not changed a single lota, bat was ready
now, as hu has always been, to glvo Ills sup
port to tho mon who would plant thomsolvcs
upon the broad princlplos of tho Constitution
and the country.
Alter rovlowlng tho position of parties for
tho (last two years, Mr. T. then spoko of the
three candidates Ibr tlio Presidency, now be
fore tlio American pcoplo. Ho commenced
with Ocn. Scott, showing most conclusively
that ho had no claims whatovor upon Ills fol-
Wu >nu— thav nuipunsiunr station, p
spoko of him ns a great Gonoral, admired his
achievements in nrms against tho British, tlio
Indians and tlio Mexicans; that ho was tho
last ono that would pluck a single laurel front
his military fiimb. On (his point Mr. Toambs
was very cloquont, and paid a just tribute to
him as a military ijliteftlan, and that tees alt
could ho sold .for him. Gon. Scott was the
flco-soli cnndldnto—ho was for .tho annexa
tion of Canada—hut not for any more sinvo
territory—tills Mr. T. was bitterly opposed to,
nnd recommended nil who lliought it a mor
al duty to froo tholr slaves, to voto for Scott.
Tho IJon. Senator nott' reviewed tho po
ll tten] courso of Gon. l’loroo. . Ilo said noth
ing disparaging towards tliat gentleman, but
on the contrary, s|ioko oflilm as a very con
sistent man in all his Congressional career;
that ho had always noted with tho South,
nnd was tho safest man (oil tlio slavory ques
tion) North of Mason nnd D|xpu’a_Uniu_TCn
.... . i. roimetl Coo Democratic
candidate too highly '; for wo bollava there
nro many men North of that lino as sound ns
Gen. Pierce. Ho prelorrcd Pierce to, Scott,
hut would not voto for cither.. refc
Wo wore a little amused wlillo tho Hon.
Sonntor was speaking In glowing terras of Mr.
Plcreo, to b -hold tho countenance of a num
ber of our Southern Rights friends brighten
up, as if they .had secured a pcwerfril allay
in that gentleman. Hut when ho stated that
tfio contest between tho two parties scciuod
to bo wliothor our next Prosidont.should bo
a big Gonoral or a littlo General, a fainting
General or a sure enough General, they wero
non-plus, and we presuino they burnt tholr
months a littlo ill trying to eat their porridgo
loo hoi! as did a certain General Oror a "has
ty dish of soup."
Mr. Webster's cluims werenoxt considered
by Mr. Toombs. Ho gave his reasons for pre
ferring that gentlemen nbovo tlio others for
tlio CliiefMagtstracy. Ho admired him ns a
statesman, as a friend to tlio Constitution;
and contended that it was Wubstcr who stay
ed the flood of abolitionism—who killed tho
Wilmot proviso—who dared, lu the faco of tho
Noitii, and iii dofianeo of ills constituency,
whilespeakiug of tlio rights oftho South, bold
ly to exclaim, “Oh 1 God, I will be just."
Mr. Toombs paid a high, glowing and just
eulogy upon the character ami services of llio
renowned statesman; said lie should votu for
him, and proceeded to show it was tlio duty
of every true frleud oftho Unioo to ulovntc
him to tho highest ofllco in their gift. On one
occasion, said Mr. T., when tills country was
being shaken from itseuntroto circumference
—wlicu tho Wilmot proviso was bulbro tho
Senate—and John P. Halo, that deadly ene
my to tlio South, desired lo know If any North
ern wan Jared voto against tho proviso, Mr.
Webster arose from hts scat and said, “sir,
am a Northern man, I was born ninld Hie gran-
ato hills of New Hampshirg, hut thank God
am an AMERICAN, I voteNO.’ It was then,
continued Mr, T. that Webster stopped nobly
forth? and battled for tbo South nnd the coun
try; He concluded by expressing A wish Hint
history might record him thu greatest man on
ca rtli, and the greatest President oftho great
est Republic on tlio face of tlio Globe.
