Excerpt from The Complaint of Mexico: And Conspiracy Against Liberty This is assuming, at once, what time only can prove. The position of the Atlas seems to be taken from a hasty glance at the letter of our Secretar rather than from mature reflection on its principles and a care 111 attention to the facts which it has set forth as true; or, perhaps, from a habit of reliance on the well known caution, correctness, and force of Mr. Webster's state ments and conclusions, when made by him as his own, and when personally liable before the tribunal of high public senti ment for whatever may prove unjust or inconclusive. The true question is not whether Mr. Webster's letter is written with as much eloquence as a state-paper will ordinarily allow, for in this respect Mr. Webster could hardly fail to be himself; but, whether talent and force of manner shall take the place, in the judgment of the country, of truth and justice.
