o struggles for liberty in any
part of the world.

On Tuesday, the 30th, he went to Washington, and was received at the cars
by the Senate Committee. Very soon after his arrival he was waited upon by
Mr. Webster, and a great number of other distinguished persons. He also
received a deputation from the Jackson Democratic Association, and one
from the clergy, making to the addresses of both pertinent replies. On

independence. He said he would not enter upon any discussion of the
principles involved in this question as it is now presented, because he
had already and repeatedly expressed his views in regard to them.
Referring to his speech upon the Greek Revolution in 1823, and to his
