Webster's War Votes Highlight Federalist Opposition
The Globe excerpt presents Webster's 1813 1814 votes showing marked opposition to war taxes and military funding. It cites July 6 1813 against spirits tax, July 9 against luxury tax, and July 10 against carriage taxes, plus later votes opposing naval and army appropriations. The piece argues these stances contradict wartime support and accuses Webster of misrepresentation in Senate debates.

Webster's wartime votes and rise to power contrasted
The text surveys Mr Webster's 1813 14 votes against war measures and federal policy, noting his alignment with Federalists on taxes banks and militia, the dissolution of their bloc after the War of 1812 and his subsequent ascent to a leading government role amid remarks on political betrayal and power shifts.
Rise of Executive Power and Early Political Turmoil
A long summary details harsh criticisms of executive power and a reference to Donald-like centralization, followed by reports of the steamship Duncan McRea disaster near Johnson's Landing with two enslaved guards killed, the Augusta Insurance and Banking Company ownership, and wreck details. It covers congressional organization with Speaker White of Kentucky, Whig nominees, and Clarke’s opposition, plus reflections on early American pioneers and a Bishop Elliot sermon in Georgia.
