Who can say, this day, upon his conscience, that it was by the statesmanship, by the moderation, by the wisdom, by the civilized policy and Christian principle of the President, or his cabinet, or the general mass of his sup- porters, that this result was accomplished? Who, on the other hand, can forget the intemperate and braggart counsels, which brought the two coun- tries to the perilous edge of such a war as never raged before, and which were only restrained, (under God, ) by the patriotic ...firmness and inde- pendence of half-a-dozen of the nominal friends of the Administration, seconded and sustained by the great body of the Whigs in Congress ? Yes, gentlemen, the Whigs in Congress, and more particularly the Whigs of the Senate, with our own ever-honored and illustrious Daniel Web- ster in their front ranks, may claim the true glory of having saved the peace of the country, and of the world, in this case — and of having brought the Administration to the necessity, (I will not call it the humili- ating necessity, — there is nothing humiliating in abandoning a false course, — it is the highest honor, rather, to any man or any party, ) of sub- mitting to an arrangement, to which it had rashly and recklessly declared that it never would submit I Peace, lasting, and, I hope, eternal peace, between the United States and Great Britain, by the settlement of the only remaining disputed boundary between them — that very peace, which Shakspeare would seem to have prefigured, when he said, ' Our peace shall stand as firm as Rocky Mountains, ' — this has been secured to us — and, for this, the Whigs in Congress, in a hopeless minority though they seemed, may claim no second or subordinate share of distinction.
